Andal tries to wake up the Gopika who is in deep sleep. Andal says “Can’t you hear the sounds of the birds chanting “Keshava keshava” before flying out for the day and the sound of curd being churned?” Andal could hear the Gopika’s thoughts: “You mentioned Saranagati (complete surrender) and Nama Sankeertanam (taking the Lord’s name) yesterday, but I don’t have any time because of my busy schedule.” Andal then explains that all that Lord Krishna wants is devotion. Even if you offer a leaf, a flower or fruit, you should do it with complete devotion. You can carry on your daily chores while doing Nama Sankeertanam at the same time.
