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).
