Indhiran-Brahman-Esan-imayavar.
 
'IndhiranOADu Biraman Esan imayavar ellAm manthira mAmalar kONDu.maRaindu varAi vandhu ninRAr...' 2-8-1 of PeriyAzvAr thirmozhi.
 
 
The chief of DhEvAs Indhiran, the functinal head of creation BrahmA and the functional head of destruction RudrA, all worship EmperumAn with Vedic verses.
All the dhEva clans worship Him alongwith us.
 
The commentary is wonderful.
 
We are chanting this pAsuram daily but the import can be realized from the words of vyAkyAnam.
 
Sri MAmunikaL questions " when BrahmA and RudrA are greater than Indira , why Indra should be placed first and others tagged along wth him?
 
Actually, they do not have any exalted status of supremacy.Their powers are derived from their functions of creation and destruciton respectively.
Since, they doe not have any special stauts, they are also put along with indhira.
 
The text of comemntary is worded wonderuflly in this regard:
 
'mUvaraiyum sollugiRa idathil, indhiranai mundhuRach solliugiRadhu,avanOpAdhi kAryathAl vandha yEATRam ozhiya Esvarathvagandham illai'
 
When the three are being told (BrahmA, RudrA and IndhrA) why Indhra should placed first? This is because, like him other two derive their status from their functions and they dont have any kind of supremacy whatsoever. Like any other AtmA, they approach EmperumAn with fresh flowers and Vedic verses like purusha sUktham.
 
EmperumAn is the Supreme and all others are AtmAs like us and any exalted status is due to their functional posts.
