?In her divine work thiruppavai, our dear kodhA piratti, soodikodduththa nAchiyar Sri Andal, from the sixth to the fifteenth paasuram wakes up the ten Azhvars?, enjoys our poorvacharyas in their svabhadeshArtham (these are special anubhavams of our acharyas which are near and dear to their heart).  Andal is regarded as ?anju kudikkoru sandhadhi? (as a daughter to all the Azhvars).  In the above mentioned ten paasurams andal awakens the Azhvars one by one starting with periyAzhvar, andal?s foster father who brought her up and then she goes in a descending order till poigai azhvar and in the following seven paasurams explains the seven thirunAmams respectively.  Then she proceeds to wake up the 3 azhvars, anbartAl thooli, narpAnan and nankaliyan who are going to take birth in future predicting their birth by her jnana drishti.

 

Sri PrathivAdi bhayangaram annangaracharya swamy deeply immerses himself in the anubhavam of andal singing thirupalliezhuchi to the various Azhvars in her paasurams and explains the correlations in meanings and words in the lines of andal that indicates the Azhvars.  Let us also enjoy swamy?s anubhavams to the smallest extent possible.

 

 

?pullum silambina kAn?

 

This paasuram awakens periyAzhvar (periyAzhvar thirupalliezhuchi).  Andal calls periAzhvar as ?pillAi!?  One who is ignorant is called as ?pillAi?.  What is periAzhvar?s ignorance?  Periazhvar is ignorant (has forgotten) of the fact that perumal is sarva rakshakan (one who is the saviour of all) and hence he does mangalasasanams to perumal for the welfare of emperuman.  Hence andal calls periAzhvar as ?pillAi?.  ?jnana vibhAga kAryamAna agnAnaththAlE varumavaiellAm adikazhanju perum? says pillai ulagAriyan in his Srivachana bhooshanam.  Here lokAcharya shows that agnanam is the root for mangalAsAsanam.  Since this azhvar has spent most of his time in the garden, in this paasuram andal starts the paasuram indicating the atmosphere in a garden,  ?pullum silambina kAn?.  ?Pullaraiyan? refers to Periya thiruvadi (Sri garudAzhvan).  According to the guru parampara prabhAvam periAzhvar is supposed to be the avathara of Periya thiruvadi (?vainathEyAmsa sambhoodham vishnuchittham aham bhajE?).  Here andal indicates the same and says ?pullaraiyan?.

 

?vellai vilisangu? is a phrase which has been first used by periAzhvar (periAzhvar thirumozhi 4-1-7).  Andal repeats the same in this paasuram to strongly show the correlation of this paasuram to periAzhvar.  ?peimulai nanjundu?-- PeriAzhvar, out of all the leelas of Krishna, first talks only about the incident of Krishna drinking the poisoned milk of bhoothaki in periyAzhvar thirumozhi (seedhakadalul)  ?pirangiya pEichi mulai suvaitundittu? says periAzhvar in another paasuram.  In one another paasuram ?nAlgalOr nAlaindhu? periAzhvar combines the incident of sagadAsurabhangam along with the above incident.  So Andal here also says, ?peimulai nanjundu kalla sagadam kalakkazhiya kAlOchchi?.  ?vella tharavil thuyilamarindha viththinai vullaththukkonda munivargalum yOgigalum?  says andal.  PeriAzhvar is called as ?Vishnu chittar?-one whose mind is always filled with the thought of lord Vishnu.  So the above line of andal also indicates towards periAzhvar.

 

Now that andal has awaken periAzhvar in this paasuram lets see how she awakens kulasekara perumAn in the next paasuram in the next posting.
