Dear Sri Padmanabhan swamy,
Adiyen surely knows that this question has been
asked by you knowing the answer very well but for the sake of "bhOdhayantha
parasparam". Sure it is interesting to enjoy the vyakhyanams of our
poorvacharyas by discussing the known facts. Infact, the discussions
between great scholars have created immense knowledge treasures to the
following generations. But here since adiyen is no where equal to your
knowledge about our sampradaya vishayams adiyen takes this as a test for the
lessons adiyen has learnt through these series of postings.
" Aga, eththAl vishayAntara prAvaNyam,
paramapada prEmam, bhagavat sowndarya prAvaNyam,
svabhOkthruthvAbhisanthi Agiya evaRRai neeyE mARRi, GovindanAgira vun
vishayaththil, vunakkAgavE seiyyappadum kainkaryaththai enrum koduththarula
vEndum endru prApyaprArthanam seidArgalAyiRRu"
(Thiruppavai vyakhyanam- 'sudarsanam'
stApakar k.SrinivAsa Iyengar swamy)
[ so by this (indicates "maRRai nam
kAmangal mARRu"), andal does a prayer for attaining the prApyam
"Remove my passion towards lowkika pleasures, attraction
towards paramapadam/paramapadhanAthan, attraction towards the mesmerising
lord's beauty, enjoyment arising due to the kainkaryam done to the lord which
should be done for his pleasure alone and bless me with the kainkaryam done to
you Oh! govinda for your sake, for your pleasure alone for ever
"]
Hope this answers your
question.

Dear SumithrAjE,
maRRai nam-kAmangaL
mARRu-
Is it just the attraction towards the
Lord that is being sought to be removed by Sri AnDAL or a request for
removing the self-attachment in the upEyam stage?

getting vexed with this samsara says, “erul
tharu mA jnAlaththul eni piravi yAn vEndEn” (I don’t want
to be born any more in this land of darkness). But amazingly andal
says, “ettraikkum ezhezh
piravikkum” She wants to
take birth for many more janmas.
To do what? “vuttrOmE yAvOm vunakkE yAm
AtseivOm” The birth should be along with krishna and with
a close relationship with him to do all sorts of kainkaryams under his
divine feet. Andal says, “I
do not want to be born even like bharata or sita who had to be separated
from the lord for sometime.
We should be like lakshmana who was always with the lord and didn’t
wish for anything else other than the kainkaryam.” Sri Chakravarthi thirumagan wanted
to crown lakshmana as the prince but lakshmana refused. Such should be the state of all
Srivaishnavas that is why andal prays, “maRRai
nam kAmangal mARRu” Chatrugna got rid of the attraction
towards even rama for the sake of bhAgavata kainkaryam. Similarly, andal wants emperuman
to remove even her passion towards emperuman’s sowndaryam (beauty) for the
sake of doing kainkaryam.
This paasuram “ciRRam
sirukAlE” was very close to the hearts of all our
poorvacharyas. Andal’s
mastery is shown in flooding this single paasuram with number of
rahasyArthas.
This paasuram is considered to be the
explanation for the thiruashtAkshari
“nee..
govinda…vunakku” –Meaning of Akaram
“vunakkE” Here the “kE” EkAram
highlights the meaning of vukAram
“nAm” makAram
“vunthannOdu
vuRROmE AvOm” Narayana
padham
“eRRaikkum ezh ezh
piravikkum AtseivOm” Meaning of ‘Aya’
“maRRai nam
kAmangal mARRu”
“nama:”
It is necessary for every Srivaishnavite to
recite all the 30 paasurams of thiruppavai daily else atleast the last two
paasurams have to be recited else atleast meditate on the state of our
acharyas while they recited these paasurams say our poorvacharyas (Sri
Parasara bhattar).
