Sri Parthasarathi thunai Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha Srimad Vara Vara MunayE namaha Sri Vanachala mahA munayE
namaha Swamy Nammazhvar, prappanna jana koodastar 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). (To be continued) Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE
