SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwAr?s Periya
Thirumozhi. 

kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram
yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama:

I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the
whole world, to destroy the darkness of ignorance
(a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the Kali
dhOsham. 

eppaavampalavum ivaiyEseydhiLaitthozhinNdhEn,
thuppaa! nNinnadiyE thodarnNdhEtthavumkiRkinRilEn,
cheppaarthiNvaraisoozh thiruvEngkadamaamalai, en
appaa! vanNdhadainNdhEn adiyEnaiyaatkoNdaruLE.    
1.9.5

Oh Lord of ThiruvEmkatam, where tall huge mountains
are like ramparts for TirumalA! I have suffered
terribly for having committed incorrigible sins; I am
even ashamed and have no strength even to praise 
Your Feet even. Oh Lord! the One who is capable of
protecting the whole Universe! (thuppA!) Now, My
Father! adiyEn has reached You. Please save me and
take me over to You as Your eternal servant. 

AzhwAr addresses the Lord as endearing Father.. The
One who is the Father of the whole Universe- enthai-
My Father.. 

He is unparalleled Father- OppAril appan! Even for
that Rudran, and his father BrahmA- He is
incomprehensible and His glories beyond anybody?s
ability to understand. Those who do not understand
Vedic truth, Vedantha only will say and wrongly
interpret saying, thrimUrthys are equal to each other
and all three of them are one and the same. He is the
in-dweller (the antharyaami roopam in) of Sivan and
Brahmaa. He is  sarvaantahraami. You are
paravaasudEva, who has taken vyooha avathArams and who
themselves have acted through BrhamA, Sivan and His
own self Vishnu- for the three functionalities as
trio- out of His own sowlabhyam! He is the essence of
praNavam and the three aksharas are like those vyUha
avathArams. Is there anyway can one get mOksham
without His dayA-without being devoted to only Him? 

[Let us enjoy the term appA- used herein by AzhwAr-
Sri Sadagopan Swamin writes: Among all births , the
birth called Jn~Anap piRavi resulting from the
blessings of Moola Manthram as Mother and one's
AchAryan as the Father providing hat "BrahmOpadEsam "
elevates the role of parents, who are endearingly
called ammA /ambhA/aaryAmbhA ( the most merciful ) and
appA/appan  (the most sacred ) .
 
aaryA is the term for a very revered one and the term
AchAryA might be interpreted as AchArEna aarya : , or
anushtAnEna prasiddha aarya :In old formal Sanskrit ,
when a revered one ( mahaneeya or pUjaneeya ) arrives
at your home ,you prostrate before them and invite 
them to sit ( aasana parigrahENa alankarOthu imam
pradEsam Aarya : ) . 

The connection to all these nomenclature can be found
in Divya Prabhandhams , when Thirumangai and
NammAzhwAr address the Lord in their SaraNAgathi
Paasurams .Examples are :

Periya Thirumozhi : ThiruveLLak KuLam paasurams:
** 4.7.1-- ThiruveLLak KuLatthuL aNNA adiyEn idaraik
kaLayAyE 
** 4.7.2: ThiruveLLak KuLatthuL yenthAi ----
Periya Thirumozhi : Thiruvenkata Pasurams
** 1.9.5: --yenn appA vanthadainthEn  adiyEnai
aatkandaruLE 
** 1.9.6--aNNA vanthadainthEn ---         
** 1.9.7--Gana maamalai VenkatavA ,
          ariyE ( HariyE ) vanthadainthEn --
**1.10.1 -10 : aNNaa adiyEn idarik kaLayAyE ,
               ^^^^^
               aNDA         "   
               kOnE         "               
               yenthAi , ini unnai yenRum vidEnE 
               ^^^^^^^
NammAzhwAr : ThiruvEnkatam paasurams ( Thiruvaaimozhi
)
3.3.1: Ozhuvil kaalamellAm---ThiruvEnkatatthu ,
       yezhil koLL sOthi yenthai tanthai tanthaikkE 
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
6.10.3 : aNNalE unnadi sEra adiyErkkAvennAyE
         ^^^^^^
PriyAzhwAr PallANdu : Paasuram 6 

yenthai tanthai tanthai  tam mUtthappan  yEzhpadikAl
thodangi
        ^^^^^^^              ^^^^^^^^^^^     
The sum of it all is that one's father revered by
Vedam as "pithru dEvO bhava " is deservedly addressed
as "appA , aNNA , tanthai , appan , aNNal , Aaryan et
al "to indicate the reverence for givng us the JN~Anap
piRavi . In the days past , a son never sat in front
of his father .He always stood unless asked by his
father and even then at a place below his father's
seat . 

The exemplary case of Father-AchArya-Son relationship
is that of Kumara VaradAchAr  and  Swami Sri Desikan
,His father , AchAryan and God? 

Thirumangai AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLe SaraNam
