The Nāyakī is lost unto Kaṇṇaṉ (Lord Kṛṣṇa), in the sense that the bonds of feminine reserve and refinement have burst in the face of her overwhelming, rather overpowering Godlove. She advises the elders not to attempt the senseless task of putting up the bund after all the water has escaped down the sluices but to take her to Tiruppēreyil and leave her there where the Lord has come, in advance, to reclaim her. This they should do quickly when she is still alive, seeing her precarious condition.
