SrI:
SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

Dearest all,

Unto seven verses, it is considered as an introduction
to Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi. They were also to extol
the greatness of Ramanuja. The following verses of the
work are Acharyaâ??s involvement and enjoyment of each
AzhwAr and their work. He starts off with the
anusanthAnam on mudhalaazhwaars, namely Poigai, bhU
and PeyAzhwArs. 

8th verse is on Poigai Azhwaar. 

varuththum puRaviruL maaRRa,em poykaippi raanmaRaiyin
kuruththin poruLaiyum chenthamiz thannaiyum kootti
onRath
thiriththan Reriththa thiruviLak kaiththan
thiruvuLLaththE
iruththum paraman iraamaa Nnuchanem iRaiyavanE. 8

Without realizing the eternal belongingness/
association of the soul (athmA) to Emperumaan
Sriya:Pathi Sriman Narayana, human beings worry
unnecessarily about the external material objects
lying in the outside world. To remove such a worry
from humans, the most merciful PoigaiAzhwAr combined
the pure Tamil and the deep vedaanthic meanings to
sing the great Tamil pAsurams describing the basic
Vedic truth housed in simple Tamil words, "Vaiyam
thagaLiyaa" (such that we all can understand) so
nicely. 

Sri Ramanujacharya, who endears of such great work of
PoigaiAzhwAr (which is like a lustrous lamp) and
thinks of those verses always in his mind, is always
my Master- my Lord. 

The first ThiruvanthAthi of Poigai AzhwAr [out of
first three nudred verses of mudhal AzhwArs] is tamil
verses interwoven with Vedanthic truth. This is the
most wonderful weaving. With this, the jnAna viLakku
[lamp of knowledge] gets rid of attachment and dirt of
craving for other material objects and desires. This
is the ThiruvuLLam of Emperumaanaar about mudhal
ThiruvanthAthi is Amudhanaarâ??s view. All three
hundreds do have this characteristic. Based on
individual verse lines, the meaning needs to be
interpreted.  

A Glance at their marvelous compositions:  

1. poigaiAzhwAr composed the first 100 pAsurams
"mudhal thiruvandhAdhi" (andhAdhi means the first word
of one verse will be last word of the previous verse
)starting with the first one: 

vaiyam thagaliyA, vArkadlE neyyAga/ veyyakkadirOn
viLakkAga/ sudarAzhiyAn adikkE soottinEn son mAlai/
Idar neenghugavE enRu/  

Meaning: Lord nArAyaNa, who holds the Divine
chakrAyudha, is the cause of this wonderful universe
and the seas. I am singing these mAlai(Garland) of
verses(pAsurams) and dedicating to Him, whose vision I
had is the light of the lamp of the earth, and oil
being the seas, the sun being the source of the light;

 
2. BhoodaththAzhwAr composed the second 100 pAsurams
"irandAm thiruvandhAdhi" starting with the first one: 

anbE thagaliyA, ArvamE neyyAga/ inburugu sindhai idu
thiriyA/ naNpurugi GnAna chudar viLakku EtrinEn/Gnana
thamizh purindha nAn/  

meaning: Here, it is the love as the lamp and
involvement as the oil and azhwAr says" I dedicate
myself to the service of the lord, by singing this
song that blesses wisdom(GnAna), with love as the
lamp, endearing involvement as the oil(Ghee), and
knowledge as the wick of the torch".  

3. PEyAzhwAr composed the third 100s called "moonRAm
thiruvandhAdhi", with the first one as follows: 

thirukkaNdEn, ponmEni kaNdEn- thigazhum/arukkan Ani
niRamum kaNdEn-seruk kiLaRum/ ponAzhi kaNdEn puri
sangham kai kaNdEn/ en Azhi vaNNan pAl inRu/  

AzhwAr just says:" I have seen and found the Glorious,
GOLDEN hued form of the SrI Visishtan. I have seen the
Glory of Sri and nArAyaNa and His beauty and His blue
hued ocean colour, His brightness and brilliance like
the Sun and His sanghu (Divine Conch) on one hand and
chakrA (Discuss) on the other.
