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?

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).
