Dear Lakshmi Narasimhan Swamin: As you mentioned in mail, the reverse i.e., comparing BhU dEvi and Seshan with SrI Andal, Ramanujar in terms of bhagavat and bhaagavada abhimaanam is more than the latter. BhU dEvi after lifted by Sri VarAha moorthy, she asked the way for the uj~eevanam of jeevAtmAs like us. VarAha moorthy explains the way through Varaha Carama Slokam which is explained in Varaha Puranam. (Rescue of BhU dEvi by emperumAn in Varaha avatAram proves her bhagavad abhimaanam) Due to her bhaagavada abhimaanam, she took avatar as SrI Andal, and lead her life according to the Varaha Carama Slokam so that , the latter jeevAtmAs like us would attain the feet of Lord.! Without Her kArunyam towards us, we wont get Thirup pAvai now. Similarly, sEshan is known for his service to Lord at Sri vaikuntam as mentioned by alwar: "senrAl kudaiyAm irunthAl singAsanamAm..." -- muthal thiruvandhAdhi (53) He is doing kainkaryam to Lord in all forms. This proves his bhagavad abhimaanam. Similarly his birth as Srimad Ramanujar proves his bhaagavada abhimaanam. If there's any mistake please forgive and comments ont this are welcome! adiyEn, senthil.b --- Lakshmi Narasimhan <nrusimhann@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Dear Swamin, > The answer lies in your question itself.
