SrI:
SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

Dearest all,

Unto seven verses, it is considered as an introduction
to Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi. They were also to extol
the greatness of Ramanuja. The following verses of the
work are Acharyaâ??s involvement on each AzhwAr and
their work. He starts off with the anusanthAnam on
mudhalaazhwaars, namely Poigai, bhU and PeyAzhwArs. 

10th verse on PEyAzhwAr: 

manniya pEriruL maaNtapin kOvaluL maamalaraaL
thannotu maayanaik kaNtamai kaattum thamizththalaivan
ponnadi pORRum iraamaa NnuchaRkanpu pooNtavar_thaaL
chenniyiR chootum thiruvutai yaarenRum cheeriyarE. 10

After the removal of darkness from human beings due to
the first two AzhwArs' grace, pEyAzhwAr described the
beauty of PiraaTTi samEtha Sriya: Pathih Sriman
Narayanan as "ThirukkaNdEN; pon mEni kaNdEn". Sri
Ramanujacharya always praises the Lotus Feet of
PeyAzhwAr. Those blessed ones- BhAgyasaalis- who place
the Feet of Bhagawathas (adorning themselves with
their bhatki towards Sri Ramanuja) on their heads like
the most fragrant flowers, are ALWAYS GREAT. 

Vishaya praavaNyam; Athma, Paramaathma thattva jnAnam
were established and cleared from the first two
hundreds of Poigai and BhUthatthArs respectively. Now
PEyAzhwAr categorically announced that what he saw
Thirukkovaloor Gopan KaNNan- SarvEshwaran- who showed
Himself with PiraaTTi- SrI vishtan â?? Sriya: Pathi
Sriman Narayanan alone is ParamAthmA. He blessed us
with purest Tamil this most wonderful PoorNa upadEsam
and hence EmperumAnAr praises this greatest
PEyAzhwArâ??s lotus feet. 

PEyAzhwAr alone is the One who decared the exact Truth
of PiraaTTi visishta Sriman Narayanan- Gopan KaNNan is
the Ultimate Parama purushan and he saw Them together.
He blessed us with crystal clear truth leaving no
vagueness in his verses. His lotus feet are praised by
Emperumaanaar. 

[Extract from Sri Sadagopan Swamiâ??s write up] Azhwar
asserts here that Periya Piratti residing on the
golden lotus is ALWAYS OUR REFUGE. She stays on the
Lord's chest forever and does not leave that spot even
for the fraction of a second (ahalahillEn iRayumenru
alarmEl mangai uRaihinRAL ). 

Until Her purushakAram [recommendation] comes our way,
there is no way in which we will receive BhagavAn's
anugraham. She is therefore THE UPAAYAM. She then
stands together with Her Lord as UpEyam as well. 
Therefore, Her grace protects us both before and after
Prapatthi. pEy AzhwAr uses the word "vaNNâ?? in his
final pasuram, when describing the auspicious
qualities of Periya PirAtti.  The word "VaNN" means
the most generous, compassionate Mother ( UdhAra
SvarUpi).

Abhinava Desikan, Sri UttamUr Swami cites the
interpretation of ParAsara Bhattar in connection with
the UdhAra souseelyam of 
Periya Piraatti in his Sri Sooktham VyAkhyANam : 

Eisvaryam akshara gathim paramam padham vaa
kasmaichith anjaliparam vahathE vidheerya I
asmai na kimchith uchitham krutham ithyathAmbha 
tvam lajjasE kathaya kOyam udhAra bhaava: II

After conferring MahA Isvaryam, the eternal state in
parama padham for the mere holding of our palms
together before You, You, my 
dear Mother shyly wonder whether You have done enough
for us. Such is Your unmatched generosity!

In the spirit of Sri Sooktham (the Khila Rk of Rg
Vedham ), pEy Azhwar rightfully starts his prabhandham
with the declarationâ?? ThirukkaNDEN "
and concludes his andhAthi with the concession, " taNN
thuzhAi taazh varai maarbhan muyangum THIRU ". Hereâ??
the anyOnya lakshyamâ?? of the divya dampathis is
celebrated in the traditional vEdhic way. pEy
AzhwAr states that the Lord with His chest adorned by
the cool TuLasi garlands can not function and go about
performing His duties as SaraNAgatha Rakshakan without
Her power.  Hence, He tightly embraces Her on His
chest so that She does not leave Him even for a
fraction
of a second. She has no intention of leaving Him
either even for a fraction of second. [If she does,
probably we are the losers] Such is the anyOnya
Bhaandhavam (relationship) of our divine parents
