Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:
Thiruppavai Pasuram 1: 'nIrAda'
Why did Andal use the respectful word 'nIrAda' to call
her friends for taking a bath? The reason is that even
though they are friends, because they are devotees of
the Lord, respect has to be given to them. Even if a
person is born to one's self, if they are devotees of
the Lord, they have to be treated respectfully.
To show this, an event from Bhattar's life is shown.
"bhattar srIpAdhaththaik kazhuvith thIrththam koLLum
ANdAL".
Even though Bhattar was born to her, his mother Andal
used to accept the divine water from Bhattar's feet.
