mATRamum ThArAdhOA vAsal thiRavAdhAr

The fundamental policy of srEvaishNavic faith is chreishing the Lord alongwith 
fellow souls.

 'Vedham vallArgaLaik koNDu viNNoAr perumAn ThriuppAdham paNindhu' declares 
svAmi Nam AzvAr.
Those who have unfailing conviction that He is indeed the means and the end are 
those who are well versed in vEdham-s (vEdham vallArgaL) -EDu.

Having said this, there are more reasons attributed for seeking like minded 
company, when entering into realm of EmperumAn's world. His auspciious 
qualities is
akin to the full of deep watered oceans and likely to submerge us into it and 
alAs! denying the opprotunity to relish His such wonderful kalyANA guNas. In 
fact, Sri ParAnkusA requests the Lord Himself, a mind of steel and steely 
resolve to overcome being melted on thinking of Sri KrshNA's sweet 
attributes.(piRandhulagam vun siRandha guNAthAl vurugum sElath thiRam 
thavirndhu)
 He appeals to sacred poets to save him so from sinking into the sea of 
EmperumAn's qualities (senjoR kavigAL vuyir kAth At seimin..)

Sri ANDAL being naturally inclined towards EmperumAn ( being a feminine 
Herself)  and also a descendant of this divine lineage of  Azvar clan 
(anjukkudikkoRu sandhadhi)  did follow this dictum meticulously but naturally. 
This was inborne and not imbibed. This GopikA convert from SrivilliputhUr 
yearned for Sri KrshNA is well known.Her thirty divine songs followed by the 
outpourings of nAchiyAr thirumozhi are indeed emotional sketches of real life 
manifested into eternal bliss of tamil prabhandham. 

The sixth pAsuram to the fifteenth sees Sri ANDAL knocking at the doors of 
SrevaishNavites and reminding them of their tryst with the Lord at Sri 
NandaGopA's divine palace. These disciples are symbolic of various types of 
followers of our great fatih. 

Knocking at doors, one expects response at the early hours of the dawn. Going 
farther,  indicating  the outbreak of dawn and support  this with various 
evidences point to the patience at its height is in itself a test of endurance. 
That non-response as response, silence as reciprocation and passiveness as 
reply from one of the inmates prods ANDAL not to drop this disciple but plead 
for her attention. She ( the inmate ) who is enjoying Lord KrhsnA does not 
reply to their calls. No Sir, unlike me ,ANDAL does not go to the next door. 
She requests for Her voice at least.Cravign for her attention, kOdhai nAchiyAr 
requests:
y MAdam! Your priorities are different. You are in sacred engagment. Agreed. 
Need not open the doors for us. At least give your voice for us. You may give 
yourself to Sri KrshNA but is it unfair to bless us with Your voice?
mATramum thArAdhOA vAsal thiRavAdhAr

Such is the endurance and the extent to which a srEvaishNavite goes to get the 
divine company of another such like minded AtmA

That is why it is again and again said

kUdi irundhu kuLirndhEalOAr Em pAvAi
