Sri Parthasarathi thunai
SrimathE rAmAnujaya Namaha
Sri Vara Vara MunayE Namaha
Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha
 
Thaniyan Vyakhyanam:
 
?nArAyanan padaiththAn nAn mugamAi, nAnmuganukku A-rAr sivan pirandhAn ennum 
sol?:
 
1. Ako ha vai nArAyana Aseeth I na brahma nEshAna: II (There was only narayanan 
(in the start) there was no brahma or sivan----mahOpanishad)
2. nArAyana parO jhOthi: (narayanan is the ultimate light ----narayanOpanishad)
3. nArAyanE praleeyanthE (Finally he combines (layam) with narayana 
----narayanOpanishad)
4. Ekasthishtathi vishvAthmA sa cha nArayana: prabhu: (Only the 
vishvAthma,paramatma remains ( after mahapralayam) He is only the sarvEshvaran, 
nArAyanan ----bhAratham)
5. srushti stithi andhakaraneem?. Eka Eva janArdhana: (Only that bhagavancalled 
as janardhanan attains the names of brahma, Vishnu and siva who do srushti, 
stithi and samhAram---- Vishnu puranam)
6. Eka Eva jagath svami shakthimAn achchudha: prabhu: (the one who is filled 
with shakthi, one who has no fall and one who is the ishwaran, achchudhan is 
the only jagath swami)

There by it has been shown that all others except narayanan are killed 
(samhAram) during the paralaya kalam and only the paramatma Sriman Narayanan 
remains. 
 
7. yennAbhi padmAdhabhavan mahatma prajApathi: (If one knows about the bhagavan 
from whose nAmbikamalam the mahatma, who gives life (srushti) to this whole 
world is born then we can cross this ocean of samsAram else there is no other 
way to attain moksham----mahOpanishad)
8. nArAyanAth brahmAjAyathE nArayanAth rudrO jAyathE (brahma is born from 
narayanan; rudran is born from narayanan-----narayanOpanishad)
9. viroopAkshAya brahmaNa: putrAya jheshtAya sreshtAya (For the son of brahma 
who is jhesta and sreshta, viroopAksha ------sAma vEdam)
10. brahmaNaschApi sambhootha: siva ethyavadhAryathAm ([from bhagavan?s 
stomach] whichever lotus appeared in that brahma was born; From brahma siva was 
born----mahabharatham)
 
>From these it is clear that brahma and Sivan were given birth by bhagavan 
>during the time of shrushti. Since brahma was given birth by bhagavan and he 
>inturn gave birth to rudra it is nothing wrong if we say that both were given 
>birth by bhagavan. Or otherwise, it can be considered that rudran wasborn from 
>brahma in one kalpam and directly from bhagavan in the other. In any case both 
>of them were given life only by narayanan. To make all these vedarthas known 
>to all thirumazhisai azhvar started his prabhandam with?nAnmuganai nArAyanan 
>padaiththAn? in the first paasuram and ended with ?eniarindhEn Esarkkum 
>nAnmugarkkum deivan- narkirisai nAranan nee?. This is only indicated in the 
>first two lines of the thaniyan. Here the word ?ennum? stresses the greatness 
>of the sruthi and smruthi verses taken above.
 
Sol seerAr mozhi: The greatness of the poem is identified with the language and 
words used (sol seergal). Or in other words, ?seerkalandha sol? (Periya 
thiruvandhAdhi 86), the words that have good qualities.
 
mozhi seppi: Chanting nAnmugan thiruvandhAdhi with such qualities
 
vAzhalAm: Let us get uplifted
 
nenjamE: Oh! My heart! Please help me out.
 
How to help? Moipoo mazhisai paranadiyE vAzhththu: Fall into the divine feet of 
thirumazhisai azhvar who has blessed us with this prabhandam . Fall in love 
with that thiruvadi that are sweet and has been adorned by amudhanaras, ?edam 
konda keerthi mazhisaikkiraivan enaiadipOdhu? (eramanusa noot-12). ?moipoo? can 
be considered as an attribute to both the thiruvadi of mazhisaipiran and 
mazhisai kshetram. While considered as an attributeto the divine feet of azhvar 
it gives the meaning of ?close flower? and ?beautiful flower?. The word ?moi? 
conveys two meanings, ?close? and ?beautiful?. So it indicates that there are 
beautiful flowersvery close to the divine feet of mazhisai pirAn (?Poo? also 
indicates beauty). While considering it as an attribute to mazhisai kshetram 
then itconveys the meaning that the mahisAra kshetram is very beautiful or this 
place has a number of beautiful flowers in it.
 
adiyE vAzhththu: Do mangalasasanams to that thiruvadi of the great 
thirumazhisai azhvar filled with such great qualities. Aazhvar did 
mangalAsAsanams to the divine feet of bhagavan, ?vAzhi kEsanE? (thiruchan-61) 
and ?mAlai vAzhththi vAzhminO? (thiruchan-68) but you don?t miss to say 
pallandu to that azhvar?s divine feet.
 
paranadiyE vAzhththu: Azhvar sung, ?Esarkkum nAnmugarkkum deivam? and 
?gunaparanE!? considering emperuman to be the parathvam but you consider azhvar 
as the param and sing praises to his divine feet.
