SrI:
SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

Dearest all,

EmeprumAnAr in his heart houses Mazhisai vandha
jyOthi- Thirumazhisai Piraan- Bhakthi saarar always.
Amduhanaar enjoys the same in this verse.  

12th verse on Thirumazhisai Piraan

idangoNta keerththi mazichaik kiRaivan iNaiyatippO
thatangum ithayath thiraamaa Nnusan,ampoR paathamenRum
katangoN tiRainchum thirumuni varkkanRik
kaathalcheyyaath
thitangoNta NYaaniyark kE_adi yEnanpu cheyvathuvE. 12

Emperumaanaar Sri Ramanujacharya has got the heart
always housing the Lotus feet of Thirumazhisai vandha
jOthi- ThirumazhisaiAzhwAr- Bhaktisaarar. Everyone
holds the pristine pure Lotus Feet of this Greatest
Emperumaanaar. Always they think and meditate on these
Lotus Feet, as the means and are blessed with this
great wealth. I am in love with, always indebted to
and am a servant of such Great jn~Anis / Bhaagawathaas
and none else. NarayaNan created Brahman (the four
headed one). From this BrahmA, Siva was born. Such
greatest TRUTH was asserted by ThirumazhisaiAzhwAr.
Recite his pAsurams and get saved, Oh Mind!. Praise
ThirumazhisaiAzhwAr's Feet.

AchAryAs enjoy this AzhwAr's works, and address them
as the sword that has been taken out of its cover
(from the waist band) to destroy other non- truthful,
false notions and doctrines and to establish that
Sriya:pathi Sriman Narayanan alone is Parathvam and
AzhwAr has NOT still put the sword back (since the
false notion still lingers...) 

Since the 1st pAsuram starts with "Naanmuganai", this
work is called "Naanmugan Thiruvandhaadhi (NMT in
short). 

naanmuganai NaaraayaNan padaitthaan* Naanmuganum/
thaan mugamaay sankaranaip padaitthaan * yaan
mugamaay/
andhaadhi mElitaaRivitthEn aazhporuLaich*/
sindhaamaR koNmin neer thErndhu./

NarayaNan created BrahmA (naanmugan- four faced one);
BrahmA (thus became the instrument) and created the
universe starting with Sankaran. And this I have been
blessed to announce in this most important truth. Oh
People! you all see, understand the truth in this and
don't let it get out of your mind. MahOpanishad
declares this truth that Narayanan is the One who
cause of creation for all dEvAs through four faced
BrahmA whom He first created.  (Thus, AzhwAr implies,
by getting to know the Creator, and the births of
BrahmA and Sivan, you all can get rid of your future
births.)

ThirumazhisaiAzhwAr, who is the disciple of pEyAzhwAr-
has firmly established the truth, that Sriman
Narayanan ALONE is the Para tatvam; There is no other
god; who can be equal to Him; (why to talk about
superior to Him) SarvEshwaran Sriya: Pathi Sriman
Narayanan alone is Cause of all worlds; and all
jIvAthmAs.  He is the antharyaami in all beings; and
is the director of all their efforts, nature, state,
etc..; Even BrahmA, Rudra and other dEvAs can NOT get
to know of the  Vaibhavam of Sriman Narayanan. Sivan
himself, had categorically told MarkaNdEyar that he
also pays his obeisance to Sriman Narayanan and Sriman
Narayanan alone can grant mOksham; Brahman, Rudran and
all other demigods too are protected by Sriman
Narayanan alone. 

Sage VyAsar is the One who compiled the Vedas; wrote
Bramha sUthram, (the commentary of which is the great
Sri Bhashyam of Ramanuja) and is called Veda Vyasar.
After he compiled Vedas, he says:

aalOtya sarva saasthrANi vichaaryascha puna: puna: /
idham yEkam sunishparNam dhyEyO nArAyaNas sadhaa: 

(Sage VyAsA  I have carried out all research in  all
saashtrAs; I have done all investigations; Wherever I
see, I find only this truth reverberating in all
saasthrAs- i.e. Sriman Narayanan alone is The Only One
Lord in all of them)

Veda Vyasar also says: (after he complied Vedas and
wrote Brahma soothram), raising his hands: Sathyam;
Sathyam; Punassathyam; ... Vedhaas saasthraa: Param
naasthE na Deivam Kesavaath Param. Vedas, Saashthras
do not proclaim any other Deivam as ParamAthmA other
than Kesavan.. 

The reason Srivaishnavas prescribe worship of Sriman
Narayana is because Srivaishnavas theoretically desire
only for moksha, to perform eternal service at His
Lotus Feet at Paramapdham and relasing the
transitoriness of the samsaaric pleasures and lives.
Only Sriman Narayanan is capable of giving moksha.  If
some are interested in lesser pursuits, please go
ahead and pursue those deities and powers which are
capable of giving those [which again they are able to
grant due to the poers granted to those deities by
Sriman Narayanan- which is declared in GitA â??which
is common for all Hidus. AzhwAr says: Realize that
worship of the Supreme Reality (synonymous with
Vishnu) is what is considered the best and most
fitting for the jIva by the Vedas and consequently our
Srivaishnava acharyas.

AzhwAr also, tells about himself: I am blessed by the
grace of Emperumaan and am blessed with the correct
knowledge (jnAnam); I am blessed to get rid of all my
future births and associated sorrows, by becoming His
eternal servant.  I will spend all my time singing in
praise of Him alone and paying Obeisance to Him as
pastime; That is all what I want and that's enough for
me; Emperumaan, out of His great love for me, had
willingly come and has been residing in my heart. He
also, shows Himself most gracefully at all DivyadEsams
to bless me with His darshan. I SHALL NEVER EVER
WORSHIP ANY OTHER (IDHARA) DEVATHA, who is yet another
Jivan, mistaken as God by others. 

He talks about the relationship that he has with the
Lord in a most moving way in paasuram 7 , which
reminds us of ANDAL's declaration KuRaivonrumillA
GovindhA, 
UnRannOdravEl namakkingkozhikkavozhiyAthu :

inRAha nALayEyAha inicchirithu 
ninRAha ninnaruL yenpAlathE --nanRaaha
naanunaai anRiyilEn kaNdAi NaaraNanE 
neeyennaiyanriyilai 

Oh NaaRayaNA ! I may become the object of Your
krupA today or it may happen tomorrow or it may happen
even after that passage of time. It does not matter. I
know that Your special Krupai belongs to me. I do not
exist without You and neither do You exist without me.
Unnai anRi naan ilEn; yennai inri nee ilai. What 
a powerful and penetrating statement on the
relationship that he had with Sriman NaarAyaNA!
[extract from SrI Satakopan Swami's write up] 

Thus Swami EmperumAnAr knowing AzhwArâ??s unambiguous
unparalleled decrataion about the Supremacy of Sriman
Narayanan and our relationship with Him, has housed
AzhwAr in his heart always- says Amudhanaar. And such
glorious EmperumAnArâ??s lotus feet is sought after
many bhAGawathAs; I am their servant; I am devoted to
them; - says Amudhanaar. 

EmperumAnAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam

Namo Narayana
