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).
