In the next paasuram, ?ellE
elankiliyE? Sri Andal awakens the youngest of the Azhvars (kadi kutti)
Thirumangai azhvar. This azhvar
gave a beautiful padhigam (series of 10 paasurams) ?mAnamarum mennOkki? which
happens to be a dialogue between two aichis). To remind those wonderful paasuram of
thirumangai azhvar andal has made the paasuram to awaken him to also be in the
same format as a dialogue between andal and thirumangai
azhvar.
In many of his paasurams thirumangai
azhvar calls him to be parrot.
?kili pOla mizhattri nadandhu?, ?men kili pOla miga mizhattrim en
pEdhaiyE? etc. Thereby andal
calls him as ?kiliyE!? Otherwise
it is a habit of a parrot to repeat whatever we say. Kaliyan took avataram to repeatthe
words of nammazhvar (?mAran paniththa thamizh maraikku Arangam koora
avadhariththa?) so even due to this he can be called as a parrot. Since he is the youngest among the
Azhvars he is referred to as ?élan kiliyE? (oh! young parrot).
The second line is the answer from
thirumangai azhvar.
Then andal says, ?vallai vun
katturaigal pandE vun vAyaridhum? Oh! azhveer I am familiar with your strength
in talking, because you are the azhvar who has the guts to sing, ?vAsivalleer
endhalooreerE! VAzhindhE pOm neerE?. PandE! Indicates knowing what is going to
happen even before azhvar took avathAram.
Listening to this kaliyan
says,?valleergal neengalE? You were the one who sang ? kollum payanonrillAdha
kongai thannaik kizhangOdum, allippariththittavan mArbil erindhu ennazhalai
theervanE? Is your words tough or mine?
Immediately kaliyan was reminded of
his own paasurams where he showed the atmost humility towards bhagavatas
(?naNNAdhavAlavunar? ?kansOra ven kurudhi?, bhagavata sheshatvam)and hence
uttered, ?nAnEdhAn Ayiduga?
Then andal says, ?vunakkenna
vErudaiyai? reminded of thirumangai azhvar?s two great
thirumadals.
Kaliyan then enquires; ?ellArum
pOndhArO? has all the other Azhvars taken avatharam before
me?
Val Anai kondrAnai mAyanai: kaliyan was one of the Azhvars who
sang wonderfully on the incident of emperuman killing an elephant. He has sung the same in many places.
?Avarivai seikaRivAr anjanamAmalai pOlE? ?kavala yAnai kombosiththa
kannanennum? ?vezhamum pAganum veezha? etc.
MAttrArai mAttrazhikka vallAnai
mAyanai pAda: Emperuman has the
special capacity to overcome the pride of those who act against him. In the govardhana giri vriththAntham
(story) he in a very tactful way cut down indra?s pride without hurtinghim in
any manner. Kaliyan was deeply
involved in the above divine quality of emperuman. That is why he ends his Periya
thirumozhi with ?kundrameduththu Anirai kAththavan thannai? and while
completing his last prabhandam thirunedundAndakam he says, ?kundreduththa
thOlinAnai?.
In this way it has been shownthat
andal has awakened her foster fathers the other Azhvars in her paasurams one
by one. Dealing this subject in
more detail will be interesting but will run pages after pages. So we will stop with
this.
With this posting the series on
thiruppalliezhuchi of Azhvars in andal?s thiruppavai has come to an
end.
