 THE PERIYAZVAR

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 
paLLiyAnEa 4-10-1, 
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.
