Sri Parthasarathi thunai

Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha

Srimad Vara Vara MunayE namaha

Sri Vanachala mahA munayE namaha



Our Sri Ramanuja siddhAntham strongly believes in ?mithuna sEshatvam? (all 
jeevatmas are servants to the divine couples).  What is the main role of 
piratti? She does purushakaram (talks in favour of the poor soul and lessens 
the anger of emperuman, thereby overcoming his svathantriyam (independence) 
and making him accept the jeevatma into his divine feet.)  In the 
seventeenth paasuram, andal due to her great thirst to enjoy krishnAnubhavam 
directly awoke krishna.  But then she realized that in the time of 
surrendering it is necessary to fall to the divine feet of piratti first and 
with her support then approach the lord.   In ayppadi the piratti close to 
emperuman was nappinnai (neela devi) and hence in the eighteenth paasuram 
?vundu madhakalitran? andal awakens nappinai piratti.



If in paramapadam we have to first fall to the divine feet of all the three 
devis, Sri, bhoo and neela.  In the vyahAvatara, in ksheerAbhdhi we have to 
first surrender to the divine feet of Sri and bhoo devis.  In ramavatara, 
Sita piratti was the purushakara bhoothai (?aval sannadhiyAlE kAkam 
thalipeRRadhu aval ellamaiyAlE ravanan madindhAn? Inspite of the great sin 
kAkasuran did due to the grace of Sita devi he lost only his eyes.  But 
since piratti was not near chakravarthi thirumagan during the Rama-Ravana 
yuddham ravana lost his life).  In varahAvatara, bhoo devi alone is the 
purushakArabhoothai.  Whereas in krishnavatara when krishna was in gokulam 
nappinai alone was his divine consort.



Krishna cherished to be the son of nandagopan and hence his divine consort 
also cherished to be called as the daugher-in-law of nandagopan and hence 
andal calls her as ?nandagopalan marumagalE? Nandan was liked by everyone in 
gokulam that is why these small gopis take the liberty to call him by name 
as if he was their close friend.  In gokulam all were bhagavatas there was 
absolutely no age or sex differentiation.  What they all wanted was 
krishnAnubhavam.  They will do anything for the sake of their dear krishna.  
That is why andal and the gopis go in front of each and every house to 
awaken everyone to jointly enjoy krishnAnubhavam.



This very paasuram is very near to the heart of Swamy emperumanar, 
ThiruppAvai jeeyer.
