Parāṅkuśa Nāyakī is said to be withering away, in contemplation of the tuḷaci worn by Kōvalaṉ (Gopāla Kṛṣṇa) when He tamed the seven unruly bulls to secure the hand of Nappiṉṉai, the charming niece of Queen Yaśodhā. If the gnostic mother could not get for the Nāyakī, the tuḷaci garland worn by the Lord in the spiritual worldly abode, she would want to know why she cannot have the tuḷaci from the feet of Śrī Kṛṣṇa who encountered the seven unruly bulls for the sake of one like her.
In this fifth pāsuram, the divine mother of Parāṅkuśa Nāyaki expresses her profound distress upon observing her daughter’s condition. She reveals that her child’s heart and soul are consumed by an intense desire for the sacred thiruththuzhāy (Tulasī) that graced the divine feet of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who mercifully subdued the seven great bulls to win the hand of Nappinnai
