Meaning of Thiruppavai Nineteenth Pasuram

(Now the young gOpis try to wake up the dhivya dampathis, Nappinnai PirAtti and Lord KrishNA). As the cluster of lamps are glowing beside , Oh Lord KrishNA , You are lying on the very soft (silky ) bed , on the ivory cot with Your  broad chest resting on the bosom of Sri Nappinnai , who  is adorned with blossome d bunches of flowers on Her tresses. (KrishNA ! even if You are unable to get up ) may You ,  atleast open Your mouth. (Now turning to Nappinnai)  Oh Young Lady with black and wide eyes (adorned with collyrium)! We think that You won’t allow Your Lord to wake up from sleep even if it is late (or at any time); that is because You cannot bear the separation from Him even for a short while. However, Oh Young lady, neither it is just on Your part (to keep the Lord only for Yourself), nor does it befit Your unbounded Mercy ! (na Saasthram naiva cha Krama: according to JananyAcchAr Swamy).
