Sri Parthasarathi thunai Srimathe rAmAnujaya Namaha Sri vara vara munayE Namaha Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha In the sixth paasuram, ?pullum silambhinakAn? Pullaraiyan koil refers to srirangam in bharatha kandam where the biggest garudan gives darshan. The great acharya who is going to adorn the acharya peedam in srirangam, Sri rAmAnujar who has a beautiful neck similar to the beauty of the white conch(vellai vili sanghu) and a striking voice is going to spread the srivaishnava matham all over the world. This is what andal means while she says, ?pullaraiyan kOil vellai vilisanghin pEraravam? (The sound of the whitecalling conch belonging to srirangam). In the seventh paasuram, ?keesu keesendru? Andal says ?kalandhu pEsina pEcharavam? referring to the debating talent of EmperumAnAr both in Sanskrit and tamil. EmperumAnAr showed his vedantic knowledge to all the kudarka vAdhis and astonished them and more over explained to them how all these meanings were flooded inside the Azhvars arulicheyalgal. This is what andal says as ?kalandhu pEsina pEchu?. This shows emperumAnAr?s ubhayavedantha knowledge. Even today that is why srivaishnavas well versed in Sanskrit and tamil vedas are called as ubhaya vedanthis. In the eighth paasuram, ?keezhvAnam vellendru? Sri kOdhai nAchiyar refers to the saddest incident in the history of kanchi devAdhirajan. Some araiyars from srirangam will go in front of devadhirAjan and will sing and enact beautifully some azhvar paasurams. Deva perumal who has a craze for azhvar paasuram will get immersed in the divine anubhavam and will accept to give anything other than him and his consorts. Immediately the araiyars will ask for EmperumAnAr and the big tragedy will occur in the history of devaperumal. That is what andal says, ?devAdhidevanai sendru nAm sEviththAl AvAendru Araindhu aruluvAn?. In the nineth paasuram, ?thoomani mAdaththu? Andal calls EmperumAnAr tocome and save all the baddha jeevatmas from this samsAric world by bringing to light the divine arthas which has been passed on from one acharya to other in a very safe manner and not being allowed for everyone. EmperumAnArwill learn the same from thirukkoshtiyur nambi after many hardships and make it known to all so that everyone can reach the divine abode of emperuman, though he will be punished for disobeying the orders of his acharya. That is what andal says, ?manikkadhavam thAl thiravAi? (open the doors to the divine abode). In the tenth paasuram, ?nOttru cuvargam? Sri andal adorns the divine qualities of EmperumAnAr. EmperumanAr will spread to the world the great divine qualities of sriman narayanan and establish the vishistAdvaita philosophy through his sribhashyam and win over all other philosophies and show theright path to the world. So andal praises Sri ethirajar to be ?arunkalamE? (a vessel of grace).
