Jnanam-Bhakthi-sAkshAtkaram

There is one another elucidation for the content of the 3 andhAdhis of respective three azhwars.

The three andhAdhis convey jnana, bhakthi and sAkshAtkaram respectively.

Mudal thiruvandhAdhi- Poigaiazhvar Started with praising the lord to be ubhaya vibhooti nAthan (possessor of both the worlds) and goes on to elaborate the same in the forth coming paasurams by highlighting the knowledge that the supreme lord who is the ubhayavibhooti nAthan (owner of the two worlds) is the master – jnAnam

 ErandAm thiruvandhAdhi – bhoothAzhvar – indicated that that supreme lord is none other than Narayanan and concluded the first paasuram with 'yAnudaiya anbu' indicating that the only way to reach the supreme narayanan is by devotion (bhakthi towards him) – Bhakthi

MoondrAm thiruvandhAdhi – pEyazhvar – elaborates the sAkshAtkaram (divine darshan, ultimate result) he had –that which is obtained at the ripened stage of bhakthi and jnanam 'jnAnam kanindha bhAkthi' (Ultimate knowledge transforming to bhakthi) – sAkshAtkAram

Though all 3 azhvars possessed jnanam, bhakthi and obtained the sAkshAtkaram of emperuman, the lord revealed each stage through each one of them.  The first azhvar was personified as one with ripened jnana entering the bhakthi stage, in the second azhvar, bhakthi reaching the ripened form and the third as attaining the stage of sAkshAtkaram.  It is a process of one stage developing into the other.  How can it happen simultaneously in three different persons?  This happened as all the 3 azhvars were bhAvagnyas (emotionally interlinked). 

 This is like a game of relay.  The first azhvar started running sung the mudal thiruvandhAdhi reached the stage of ultimate jnana and stepped into bhakthi and gave the chance to the second who continued, sung erandAm thiruvandhAdhi and reached the final stages of bhakthi and passed it on to the third who reached the final and won the game by having the sAkshAtkaram of emperuman.  They worked as a team so the prize, the thirumEni sparisam (divine touch) and divine darshan of Thirukkovaloor ayan was common to all of them.
