EmperumAnAr, for our sake
surrendered at the feet of Divine couple , showed us the right, righteous path,
leading by example-The paragon-The beacon.
As everybody knows, Sri RamAnujar
took leaves from the books of AzvAr and practised it.The demonstration effect
was telling.
Nam AzvAr surrendered at Sri
DheivanAyagap perumAL of Sirivaramangai followed by the perumAL-s of Thirukkudanthai, Thiruvalla vAzh and at Sri
KrshNA.
Sri Thirumangai Mannan fell at the
feet of Thiruvarangam.- aDiyiNai adaindhEan aNi pozhil
thiruvarangathAmAnEA.
Sri PeriyAzvAr approached EmperumAn
falling at the feet of ThiruArangathammAn.
Quoting the auspicious quality of
rescuing the elephant -Sri GajEndrAzvAn, AzvAr argues, the fact that a
soul takes refuge unto the Supreme is to get respite at the troubling
times.
The difficult times emerge when the
emissaries of yamA indulge in tormenting the souls.
Appealing for escape from he jaws
of these dangerous yama dhUthAs, AzvAr repeatedly requests EmprumAn to come to
his side.

Sri Azhagiya maNavALap perumAL
nayanAr points out the fact that the specific auspicious quality of
rakshagathavam unique to vyUham-vyUha sauhartham is peculiar to
Thriuvarangathamman.
AzvAr-s understanding this, no
doubt, appeal to Him for compassion, to relieve them once and for all from this
world. The very purpose of descending to Koil would be defeated if EmperumAn
overrules the appeal,AzvAr requests for saving Him from this kArmic
world.
The uniqueness of this AzvAr lies
in the fact that he puts up all these requests for the future now itself -appOAdhaikku ippOdhEa solli vaithEan arangath aravaNai

instead of waiting for the final moments of
distress.
In this great day of panguni
uthiram, let us recall the divine paths of AzvAr followed by Sri ThiruppAvai
jEyar for our sake.
