Sri:
Srimathe Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya Namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

PoigaiAzhwAr, BhoothatthAzhwAr and PEyAzhwAr are the
three mudhal (first) AzhwArs who were not only
contemporary azhwArs; but were born on three 
consecutive days in SiddhArti year, Aiyppasi month on
TiruvONam, Avittam and sadhayam nakshathrams
respectively ;and the babies appeared on flowers of 
different kind (and not were born like us actually!-
They are ayOnijars). 

PoigaiAzhwAr, was born (made to appear by the Lord) in
kancheepuram, while bhoodaththAr in mahabalipuram and
pEyAzhwAr in thirumylai (present Mylapore).

1. PoigaiAzhwAr, an incarnation of MahAvishNu's
paanchjanyam (Divine conch, sanghu in Tamil) is also
called Adhi kavi. poigaiAr appeared on the ThAmarai 
mottu (lotus bud) in a pond in tiruvekka near
kancheepuram. [Though his star was on Saturday, the
star again comes later part of this month i.e. Nov
middle- and second appearance is generally celebrated)

2. BhoothaththAzhwAr appeared in a flower called
"kurukkaththi"in a garden at kadalmallai port of
pallava rajyam (kingdom) in mahAbalipuram 
(south of madras). He was an incarnation of Divine
mace (called kaumOdaki) of our Lord mahAvishNu.

3. PEyAzhwAr, as an incarnation of the sword of
mahAvishNu (called nandaki), appeared in sevvalli (Red
alli-lily) flower in a well of AdhikEsava perumAL koil
at mylapore (in madras).


Let us dwell one prabhandham each to pay our obeisance
to them.

1. PoigaiAzhwAr says: (Mudhal Thirubanthaathi- 64th
pAsuram)

nayavEn piRar poruLai; naLLEn keezhaarodu;
uyavEn uyarndhavarOdallaal- viyavEn
Thirumaalai alladhu deivam enRu yEtthEn
varumaaRu en nammEl vinai?

An advice to us.. Let us not desire or long for
others' objects /properties; Let us not associate with
keezh (lowly ) people (those who do not recognise
Emperumaan Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan's Parathvam);
Let us associate ourselves with Devotees and get saved
(by learning from them). (How do we do 
all this? AzhwAr asks us as a reply query..) If we
pray to Thirumaal (Sriman Narayanan alone) as the One
and Only Deivam (Lord) and lead our lives, How 
any harm or sin (paapam) will come to us? (It can
never come).

2. BhUtatthAzhwAr says: (IraNdaam Thiruvanthaathi- 45
th pAsuram)

uLandhu enRu iRumaavaar uNdillai enRu
thaLardhanalathanarugum saaraar- aLvariya
vEdatthAn vEmkatatthAn viNNOr mudi thOyum
paadhatthAn pAdham paNinndhu

Yet another instruction to us!  Let us not jump to the
skies, if we (are blessed to) get some thing  (like
getting a pay hike; or some bonus; a 
promotion, whatever-); nor shall we feel depressed and
feel remorse and cry should we miss any thing. We
should always think that everything is Bhagavath
sankalpam. When does one get sucha manObhAvam (such
balanced bent of mind)? azhwAr says: It will come to
only those who have surrenederd to the Lotus Feet of
the Lord Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan- The Lord of
Vedas- ThiruvEmakatatthaan- Srinivasan (at whose Feet
one vcan see the crowns of Nithyasooris). (so, now do
we know how to get a balanced mind? YES..)

3. PEyAzhwAr says:

nenjAl ninaippu aRiyan yElum nilai peRREn
nenjamE pEsAi ninaikkumkAl --nenjatthup
pErAdhu niRkum perumAnai yen kolO
OrAthu niRpathuNarvu

Oh my dear mind! Even if the Lord is not so easy to be
realized in His fullest entirety by meditation ,
please be firm and involve yourself in the utterance
of His divine names and become blessed. you praise Him
steadfastly. Why is it that you are distracted to
other sensual pleasure and material subjects , when
the object of your meditation, the Lord Sriya: 
Pathi sriman Narayanan is so accessible to you without
separation even when you think of Him just once ?
(ninaikkum kaal nenjatthu pErAthu niRkum 
perumAnai uNarvu OrAthu nirpathu yen kol)

Mudhal AzhwAr ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam
