AvathArikai - Introduction
Ubhayavibhooti nAthan-nArayanan-Sriya:pathi (Narayana who is the head of the two worlds: Leela Vibhuti and Nitya Vibhuti. Narayana, also known as Sriyapathi)
"PoigaiyAr BhoothathAr pEyAr" – are the first three azhvars namely poigaiazhvar, bhoothatAzhvar and pEyAzhvar. Each of them gave 100 paasurams namely mudal, irandAm and moondrAm thiruvandhAdhi. These three works are considered like trimunivyAkarna (The grammar of the Vedas given by three rishis) and collectively called as ekashAstra (One shastra) by our poorvacharyas. The introduction to the commentary of periya vachan pillai talks about the way in which the three works go hand in hand to express the divine meanings of Srivaishnava sampradaya or VishistAdvaita philosophy.
Mudal thiruvandhAdhi – 'vaiyam thagaliya…'- portrays sarvEshvaran (the supreme lord) to be ubhaya vibhoothi nathan (as the head of two worlds the leela vibhoothi and the nithya vibhoothi)
ErandhAm thiruvandhAdhi – 'naranarkku jnAna thamizh purindha nAn' – further says who that sarvEshvaran is – what is his name? – nArAyanan
MoondrAm thiruvandhAdhi – 'ThirukkandEn' – What is special only to narAyanan – He is sriya:pathi, one who is always accompanied by 'Sri'- Lakshmi sambhandam is talked about thereby concluding Sriman Narayana to be the paratattvam (The ultimate reality).
Nammazhvar on the same lines sang his divine thiruvaimozhi,
Mudal thiruvaimozhi – 'vuyarvara' – ubhaya vibhoothi Nathan
irandAm thiruvaimozhi – 'van pugazh nAranan' – nArayana sabdham
moondrAm thiruvaimozhi – 'thiruvudaiyadikal' – Lakshmi sambhandam
Is there anything amazing if we call the azhvars as 'pEsittrE pEsum EkakandarGal' (those who repeat the same-different bodies but the same throat). What synchronization!
