She is Krishna's partner belonging to Aaichiyar (yadhava) clan of Tamil nadu,
who is found mentioned in Thiruppavai.
Not greatly has been heard about Nappinai in ancient texts -
probably we had lost the texts that mock about her.
Here is no upgrade of her in any story of Krishna in any spoken language,
secure Tamil, where on earth too the reference to her has been found in a folk-lore.
Our acharyas equivalent her with NILa devi, one of the 3 consorts of Vishnu,
making us tip that nearby requisite be some link,
either in real lexis or emblematic lexis
amid an eternal idea of Vedas and Nappinnai.
The advantage of this write-up is to weigh up immediate the here and there in information
from conflicting sources and let somebody have introduce my observations.
The here and there in sources:-
(1)The earliest one is NiLA suktam,
one of the Pancha suktams from Vedas.
NiLa devi is one of the three consorts of Member of the aristocracy Vishnu.
The belief is that Nappinnai who marital Krishna was the personification of Nila devi.
But we exercise not come spanning any reference to Nappinnai in any purana or book of yore
on Krishna's life history.
The story of Nappinnai is found in Tamil literature just.
(2)The story voice Nappinnai in the form of an exploit of a folk-lore is
in Silappadhikaram of the 2nd century AD
The references to Nappinnai in Thiruppavai bracket equal to this story / folk lore.
Quote to Nappinnai is also found in some verses of Divya prabhandam
Amongst the here and there in inputs, let me try to acquire at a logical interpretation.
To the same degree the reference to Nappinnai as partner of Krishna is found just in Tamil texts,
let me trip immediate the Tamil texts that speak about Krishna!
Krishna's biological place was Mathura in North India.
Here was a Madurai in the South too, communal as Then-Madurai (Madurai of the South)
My first contract is why this was communal as Subsequently Madurai and not legal as Madurai.
Unless a Vada Madurai (North Madurai) had existed,
Or unless the Tamils had communal this vada Madurai, or
Unless the Vada Madurai had been cool in the South too,
this name would not exercise come in the field of vogue!
The just Vada Madurai communal or had existed was Mathura where on earth Krishna was untutored.
Now let us see what Tamil texts say about this Then-Madurai.
Subsequently Madurai was found to be referred to as the place in the now sub-merged Kumari-k-kandam, south of the let somebody have Kanya kumari, where on earth the first assemble of Tamil poets (Tamil Sangam-I) was gripped.
This Then-Madurai, situated on the banks of brook Kanni (pahruLi?), in the land of Kumari hosted the first Tamil Sangam which was presided by none other than Member of the aristocracy Shiva!
" iRaiyanaar" described as "Thiripuram eriththa virisadaik KadavuL" had presided refined this Sangam.
It is also said that this Then-Madurai was at the bottom of the sea and recent settlement called Kapaadapuram, on the banks of brook Kumari in the land of Kumari hosted the later Tamil Sangam.
It requisite be noted that ancient Tamil texts speak of 7 rivers,
namely Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswathy, Narmadha, Kaveri, Godhavari and KUMARI. (Choodamani nigandu)
The brook by name Kumari had existed in that now lost land of Tamil nadu just the once Saraswathy brook was poised in the North!
Saraswathy was gone (underhanded) earlier Ramayana moral and from this we can understand that this later reserves settlement flourished in a moral preceding to or owing to the moral of Ramayana. This settlement has even been mentioned in Valmiki Ramayana!
Now comes the in height information on who presided this later Sangam.
It was Murugan ("KunRam eRintha KumaravEL) and also Thuvaraik KOmaan!
Who was this Thuvarai-komaan?
He was the Member of the aristocracy of Dwaraka!
Was this numeral, Krishna?
Basic be and commentators also say so.
Dwaraka was lost in the field of the sea, time was Krishna.
Krishna was the at the back and the first queen of Dwaraka.
It was he who shifted his reserves from Mathura to Dwaraka and complete it his house.
As soon as him, Dwaraka was sub amalgamated.
So the one and just Thuvarai-k-kOmaan requisite be Krishna!
So from ancient texts of Tamil, it is communal that Krishna had visited Tamil nadu
And even presided refined the Tamil Sangam!
(An guesswork from this is that the South had existed not working with the North
with civilisations co-existing or particular in unitary person in this Bharatha varsha
and that the supposed Aryan antagonism or profound off the populace of the South to the periphery was just a myth.)
We may be bowled over how this information was not recorded in Mahabharatha.
Here are 3 versions of Mahabharatha and the let somebody have one which we exercise as the soundtrack poem (1lakh verses) of the world was in black and white time was the emergence of Christ.
The vital explanation in black and white by Vyasa, said to be named "Jaya" was having just voice 6,000 verses.
The Gita in that explanation was not bigger than 32 verses.
Here is therefore every go to pocket that Vyasa divulged just on the story of the cousins and the loathing amid them and not greatly on other list.
Highly developed just the once he and others wanted to dose about Krishna,
they had sultry bigger on incidents that helped in eulogizing Krishna as a God-figure
than on each and every condition in his life.
Here is fittingly every fork to say that Krishna's realize to the Pandya realm at Kabaada puramam was not intended as having some seriousness in godly lexis.
Krishna in his life time of 120 years could exercise visited host seats.
The realize to this place would exercise lost the be concerned of sages
who had in black and white Krishna's life dealings.
But this realize by Krishna requisite exercise been a milestone one for the Tamils,
especially, the cowherds of Tamil land,
who would exercise found him as their own king or God.
Meenakshi's story and story of Murugan having link with Thirumaal (Vishnu)
can not exercise come up exclusive of an grain of link with this lord of Dwaraka.
Here is every fork to pocket that Krishna on his realize to Kabaadapuram
had marital Nappinai.
The way Nappinnai's marriage happened also looks very Tamilian.
As per fairy-tale and folklore Krishna sub-dued 7 bulls (Jallikattu?)
to get married Nappinnai.
The practice of charming bulls in the bull abandon to hustle the hand of the maiden in marriage is very greatly Tamilian in culture.
In fact nearby were just 2 types
marriages in ancient Tamil nadu.
One was MaRa-maNam and recent, ARa-manam.
MaRa-maNam was the general handle in the course of the landlords, leaders and the successful, to get a get ready,
in that, the impending get ready requisite confirm his valour in some abandon,
(bull abandon, or archery, or turbulence in the course of the other impending grooms)
to become eligible for marrying the girl of a successful feudal lord.
ARa-maNAm was conducted with the appreciation of the parents and solemnised by rituals by the Brahmins of vedic knowledge.
If, as per fairy-tale, Krishna overcame 7 bulls in a abandon to get married Nappinnai,
then, it trail, it was maRa-maNAm and she requisite exercise been the innocent person of an evocative numeral of the clan.
And for the reason that such a wedding was time-honored in Tamil nadu,
nearby is go to pocket that Krishna marital her just the once he visited Kabaadapuram.
Here is recent target to pocket this line of beliefs.
A move quickly lore or fairy-tale which has become a known focus in Tamil nadu
is the Alli-Arjuna marriage!
It is said Arjuna went on a fall (Dik-vijayam)
frankly time was his marriage to Draupadi.
Piqued with the skepticism that he could not ensue with her
as per the outward appearance that Draupadi had to ensue in rotation with each of the brothers,
he went to the South on a glorious break.
Here met and marital the Pandya princess Alli.
Alli was communal for female sovereignty and
even today it is time-honored to collect the word Alli rajyam in Tamil homes,
if the female of the quarters is refined celebratory.
By this we come to tip that
marriage power exercise really happened amid Nappiani of Tamil nadu and Krishna.
(This also discounts the supposition that Nappinnai could exercise been Radha.)
This was remembered by her clan and continued to be remembered in folk songs.
To the same degree the songs found in Silappadhikaram speak about Baladeva also (as krishna's brother),
Balarama requisite exercise accompanied Krishna on his southern obstruct.
This land (Kabaadapuram) also finished due a cataclysm,
and the scenery of Sangam shifted to today's Madurai is recent story,
but what is of venture to our research is that
Krishna had presided refined the 2nd Sangam and
also nearby exists a venture that he marital
someone by name Nappinnai from the Aayar clan.
And this had happened 5000 years ago!
For 3000 years bare the time Silappadhikaram was in black and white (2nd century AD)
the story of Nappinnai requisite exercise been time-honored knowledge.
We may ask why this in height get down was not recorded in any studious work.
The target could be that
for the reason that no bookkeeping work appeared until then,
nearby had been less go to inscribe Nappinnai 's life in studious works.
But it had found its way in the field of Thiruppavai which appeared 800 years after that
and in the works of other Alwars too.
