AdiyEn Raamanuja dhaasan
In Varaaha puraanam,where
(Bhoomi)Piraattiyaar asks (Yem)Perumaan the way to get rid of the ''
Samsaara cycle, PerumaaL says
thannaip paadi ugappiththaal samsaarak
kadalin karai yEralaam.
(the best way to beat this samsaara cycle is to
please Him by singing His glory) He also tells her the story of
''nampaaduvaan". (in the 48th chapter of Sri Varaha Puranam,)
In
that, after the Brahmaraakshasa is unconvinced of the first thirteen promises
made by ''nampaaduvaan", Nampaaduvaan says in his 14th
promise,
NaaraayaNamathaanyaisthu dhEvaisthulyam karOthi ya
:
thasya paapEna lipyEyam yadh yaham naagame
puna:
Meaning
Nampaaduvaan says he will get the same sin of
(becoming) a nithya samsaari (like) who(ever that) compares Sriman Naarayanaa,
who is sarvaantharyaami, MOkshappradhan and who is without an equivalent or a
superior
(Oppaarum mikkarum illaadhavan)
with idhara
dhevathaas,
" Kaanilum uruppolaar sevikkinaadha keerthiyaar*
pEnilum
varanthara midukkilaadha thevar"
(thiruchchandha viruththam)
on
hearing which the Brahmaraakshasa gets convinced of the Nampaaduvaan's
honesty to return and leaves him (to sing the kaisika Pann to thiruk kurungudi
nambi (after completing the '' Jagara vratham of not sleeping on yEkadhasi
night)on the early morning of Dhvadhasi day of Vruschika maasa sukla
paksha.)
Nampaaduvaan not only completes his vratha but also comes back
as promised and saves the Brahmaraakshasa by donating the Palan of singing a
song in Kaisikap paN.( the Brahma raakshas was a Brahmin in his early birth and
who became a Brahmaraakshas because of his committing mistakes during a Yagnya)
from his curse....
Thus Sri Varaahappiraan states that the best way to
attain mOksha is the Gaana roopam (to sing His glory) Nammaazhwar says
'' Aadiyaadi agam karaindhu* isai
paadipaadi kanneer malgi ......''
and thats what is exemplified/ empasised by Piraatti herself in
vEdhamanaithukkum vitthu, Thiruppaavai.

And she also says that this Varaaha piraan is none
other than NamperumaaL.

Bhattar Swaami was granted '' Paramapadham'' by
NamperumaaL when he completed reading the Kaisika puraanam on Kaisika dhwadhasi
day.
Such is the greatness of this Kaisika
yEkadasi.(Puraanam)
Adiyen request all Srivaishnava bandhus to observe
fasting on this day and sing NamperumaaL's glory.
