Meaning of Thiruppavai pasuram 21-Yetra kalangal ethir

The gopis have now secured the assistance of Nappinnai who joins them in arousing the Lord. Godā makes an interesting comparison between the gopis and the vanquished enemies of the Lord. This is said to reflect the total and utter humility of the devotees and the spirit of surrender when  one finally gives up the struggle to liberate oneself from the bonds of materialism  and surrenders totally to the Lord saying “I am thine”! It also implies that they recognise themselves as fallen  sinners and request the Lord’s forgiveness and compassion.  Two qualifications are necessary for the acceptance of a prapanna (one who desires to surrender) by the Lord.  (1) the prapanna should be free from egoism and  (2) should bear no allegiance to any other but the Lord.  The gopis declare that they have both these qualifications. Their egoism had been wiped out by contemplating the super-human pastimes of the Lord, and His inestimable qualities.
