Dear BhakthAs :
 
Let us cover all the highlights of the Four commentaries 
on the First Paasuram of ThiruppallANDu in this posting . 

First Paasuram of ThiruppallANDu
***************************************
PallANDu PallANDu PallAyiratthANDu
   PalakODi NooRAyiram
MallANDa thiNDOL MaNi VaNNA
   unn sEvadi sevvi thirukkAppu

(Meaning ): Oh Lord , who has the powerful shoulders
(bhuja Balam) to subjugate the mighty wrestlers in 
Kamsan's court ! Oh Lord with the lustre of a brilliant 
blue gem ! May there be undiminishing  protection for 
many crores of years for the divinity (dhivya tamam) 
and beauty(soundharyam) of Your lotus-red sacred fee
(sevvadi) ! 

Upanishad BhAshyakArar's Commentary
*******************************************
Sriman NaarAyaNA ! Oh Bhujasaalin ! Oh Neela MaNi vaNNA !
Bhavadheeya dhivya charaNAravaindhasya SrImathy-rakshA
asthu . Tath rakshA anEka kODi sahasra vathsarAn sTiram asthu .
avyAthathvamiha rakshayA: SrI: , jithanthE ! 

PeriYAzhwAr uses PallANDu in the spirit of TaitthirIya 
Aanandha Valli , where the Aanandham of Human beings 
to ParamAthmA is cited . "SaiyshA Aanandhasya meemsA 
bhavathi " ( This is the inquiry of that bliss ).  That inquiry 
defines the bliss at steps of hunderds as it goes up from
Manushya Aanandham to that of the aanandham of Brahamn.
Similarly , PeriyAzhwAr increases the span of rakshai for
the Lord by the thousands of measures and ends up with
limitless crores .

The dhivya tamathvam of the Sacred feet of the Lors is their
delectable enjoyment (parama BhOgyathvam) . It is an undiminishing
bhOgam . ThirukkAppu: the MangaLam for the Kaappu (Rakshai) is
SrI Sabdham ( Thiru ).  That ThirukkAppu has avyAhathathvam 
( blemishlessness and everlasting nature) . Protection is wished for 
the Nava Youvvana soundharyam (constantly renewing beauty) 
of those parama BhOgya Thiruvadi. 

There is no verb(Vinaiccholl)   included deliberately by PeriyAzhwAr 
in his benediction for the Lord's RakshA . The reason is that the RakshA
mangalAsAsanam can be done by all (SarvAdhikAram ) based on
their Phala abhisandhAnam ( desired wish). This verbless hailing 
is simialr to the other cases of Svasthi Vaachakams . It can be of 
AasIrvAdha roopam or PrarTanA roopam . 

Periya ParakAla Muni's Commentary Highlights
*************************************************
" Unnudaya Thiruvadiyum athan sevvyum anEka samvathsaram
Thiruvudayathum kaapudayuthamaa ahA vENum " yenkirAr. May 
Your sacred feet and their soundharyam stay eternally lustrous
(nithya oujvalyam ) and auspicious for many , many years !  
Propelled by the fear that undefinable harm may come from 
the evil eye of the virOdhis of the Lord in this time limited 
bhU lOkam , AzhwAr hailed PallANDu to the Lord . 

Thirukkudanthai Desikan's Commentary
******************************************
Samvathsam is used as a  measure of Life ( SathAyu: Purusha: ,
Veda NooR-purAyam NooRu . AaayushmAn aasIrvAdham ) . 
AzhwAr uses that unit of Samvathsaram ( AaNDu, Year) to
multiply and ends up wishing limitless years of undiminished 
glory to the sacred feet of the Lord . 

PallANDu , Many  years of glory to You arises from Maanusha 
Varsham( Human year/365 days )  and moves up to Deva varsham
( 320 human years is a day   for devAs) ; Deva varsham (360x320
human Years ) is implied with the use of " PallANDu , PallANDu " . 
Brahma Varsham is the many multiples of Deva Varsham :
PallAyiratthANDu . several crores of Brahma Varsham and the limitless
time scale beyond is wished for the protection of the undiminished 
glories of the Lord with the paasuram passage : " pala kOti NooRAyiram " . 
Lord is the Swamy (Master/Seshi ) and is of Uthkarsha Svaroopam .
AzhwAr is the lowly human and servant of the Lord ( Nishkarsha 
Svaroopan and Seshan). When a nishkarshan hails an uthkarshan ,
nishkarshan (Seshan) identifies with his svaroopa daasyam  and 
the Svaroopa Swamithvam of the Lord (Seshi) and identifies himself as 
the Lord's beautiful Thiruvadi (Sevvad i ) .

ThirukkAppu : This means perfect , blemishless rakshai for the Sevvadi.
This rakshai is for banishing of any inauspicousness (amangaLams) and 
for the introduction of any mangaLams that are  misisng . ThirukkAppu 
is the foreword for all the Paasurams to come . 

 SriRanganAtha Swamy VyAkhyAnam
***************************************
AsankyAtha ( Countless) Vathsarams ( years) is equivalent to
eternal . Lord is Nithyan and His atrributes denoted by His
sacred feet are Nithya oujwalyam ( eternally resplendent ).
Therefore AzhwAr hails for their Rakshai through the intensity of
his bhakthi that created the fear of any harm coming His way ,
while the Lord appeared before him and the citizens of the kingdom
of Vallabha Devan .

MallANDa tiNN thOLL: When the AzhwAr was afraid, the Lord 
displayed His powerful shoulders that defeated the mighty 
wrestlers at KamsA's court and reminded the AzhwAr of His
statement to Sugreevan that He can destroy all enemies 
(Sarva virOdhi nirasanam) with a little finger of His ( angulyagrENa
thAnn hanyAmi icchan harigaNEswara ). AzhwAr , Why do you still
fear about any harm coming to Me ? Where is the bhaya hEthu ( reason
for fear )? AzhwAr's state was like that of a Mother , who  knows
that her son is an unassailable one in the war and still worries
about any harm coming her son's way . 

" MallaNDa thiNNthOLL   MaNivaNNA ! PallANDu PallANDu ,
   PallAyiratthANDu , pala kOti nooRAyiram unn sEvadai 
   sevvi ThirukkAppu " is the prose order (anvayam) for this 
   First Paasuram .
