Surrender Unto Him -Him with Periya pirAtti - naimisAraNyam sri thiurmangai mannan, recalling his earlier life events and stages surrenders at the feet of Lord of naimisaranyam. Here, AzhwAr's action again sets a precedence and is a guding star for us. He surrenders to the Lord who is the Lord of periya pirAtti, highlighting the fundamental of our srEvaishNavic philosophy. This is the sixth thiru-mozhi in the first ten- "vAnilA muRuval siRu nudhal perum thOaL" In each of these pAsuram-s AzhwAr tearfully and regretfully realises the past mistakes and falls at the feet of the Lord. "vandhun thiruvadi adaindhean", "nalam purindhiRainjum thiruvadi adaindhEan" "nAnudaith thavathAl thiruvadi adaindhEan" are the oft repeated emotional words of AzhwAr while surrendering unto the feet of the Lord. swAmi periya vAchAn piLLai in the commentary has described this as "....thiru naimisAraNyathilEa niRkRa sarvEswaran thiruvadigaLilEa periya pirAttiyAr munnilaiyAga saraNam pugugirAr" AzhwAr surrenders unto the feet of the Lord in the presence and at the behest of periya-pirAtt would be a crude and literal transalation. This can be understood from the penultimate pAsuram of this thirumozhi- "thEanudaik kamalathu thiruvinnukkarasEA" referring the Lord as the Lord of the peirya pirAtti -thiruvinukku arasEa; "purushakAram" is the appropriate word in the vyAkyAnam for this purpose. vandhun thiruvadi adaindhean naimisAraNaythauL endhAi.
