Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

One time Andal, Bhattar's mother, performed upavAsa 
(fasting)during Vaikunta Ekadasi day; and on the next 
day (Dvadasi) morning, she requested Bhattar to give 
her the divine water from the Lord's lotus feet, so 
she could conclude her fasting.

Bhattar replied "Within this great day ('periya thirunAL'),

how did you find this Ekadasi day?"

Periya ThirunAL refers to the Thiru Adhyayana Utsavam 
that happens for twenty days at Srirangam (and other 
divyadesams). It happens ten days in front of Vaikunta 
Ekadasi day and ten days after it. Bhattar is wondering 
how amidst this great festival and the immense enjoyment 
of the Lord during it, she was able to realize that an 
ekadasi occurred in-between and that she had to fast on 
that day.
