Madhura kavi AzhwAr -Lateral Entry
 
It is universally known that sri madhurakavi AzhwAr always thought of nam AzhwAr and had no other thoughts. He considered that he had no other Lord other than swAmi nam AzhwAr -"dhEvu maRRaRiyEan" -kaNNinuN siruthAmbu.
 
However, he had vision of the Lord to the extent of describing about the LOrd. He described the LOrd as "kariya kOlath thiruvurui" black coloured Lord. How is that who does not even consider the Lord as Lord but only swAmi nam AzhwAr as his LOrd gets the vision?
                                                                                                                                                                                               
 
This    is  clearfrom the third pAsuram of kannaiNuN siruthAmbu "thiridhandhAgilum dhEvap pirAnudai kariyak kOlath thiruvuruk kAnban nAn,  periya vaN kurughUr nahar nambikku AL vuriyanAi, adiyEan peRRa nanmaiyE
 
In the earlier pAsuram madhura kavi AzhwArspells out that he does not have anybody except namAzhwAr as the Lord. Here he mentions that he has seen the Lord and that is his benefit-nanmai? HOw can he term it as his benefit when it is somebody other than AzhwAr is the question? It is because of
a. Unlike the pre-satakopan era, he was not involved in materialistic tastes and now comprehends the truth and hence does not reject it and
b. The Lord is desired and liked by madhurakavi's Lord -nam AzhwAr and whatever is good for his AchAryan is also good for him.
nam piLLai Edu.
 
Here swAmi azhagia maNavALap perumAL nAyanAr vyAkyAnam is excellent.
Gor those who go through AchArya  theLord's paradise -bhagavadh vishayam- will come and surround and fall on them.Even when we surrender through pirAtti since, she is alongwith Him, we have to await His nod. Here, due to AchAryan's blessing the LOrd Himself comes and falls on us.
 
The text of the vyAkyAnam is reproduced which highlights this aspect precisely
"AchArya vishayathai paRRi iruppAn oruvanai bhagavath vishayam thAnE mEale vizhum ennum idathukku vudhAharaNam idhuviREa. pirAttiyai paRRinAlum avaL avanOdE sErkaiyAlE avan kai pArthirukka vENum. ingu avanthAnE vandhu thannai ivanukku kodukkum"
 
madhura kavi AzhwAr thus attains immense benefit by approaching his AchAryan-swAmi nam AzhwAr.Lateral entry for both
-payan iruvOmukkum Ana pinnEA.
