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).
