T 
THIRUPPAVAI SWAPADHESAM

SREMATH PARAMAHAMSA VANAMAMALAI JEEYAR

In the previous postings the swApadhEsa vyAkyAnam viewed thiruppavai in two 
angles. 

1. The first pAsuram is the synopsis of the whole thirup-pAvai

2. The exprience of the srEvaishNavic devotees, the nature of various devotees, 
the procedure to approach the LOrd, the means and the goal and the summary were 
all discussed.

Now, let us see how the pAsuram-s are cross-related to AzhwAr-s.

The ten pAsuram-s from 6-15 represents the AzhwArs.

The Sixth-pAsuram: "piLLAi ezhundhirAi"---> poizhgai AzhwAr.

In the 54th pAsuram of mudhal thiruvandhAdhi poizhgai AzhwAr enjoys krishNa 
"62"aravam adal vEzham....." (incidentally this has been covered under the 
heading --Special pAsuram earlier)
Further, in the nd pAsuram " mana maruva mAl vidai Ezh cheRRu" refers to the 
event of conquering the seven bulls. 
Here, the event of consuming the poison from the demoness --bhUdhanA- is 
referred to, whcih poigai AzhwAr also mentions in the 11th pAsuram--"-pEi mulai 
nanju vUNAga vuNdAn"
The event of demolishing sakatAsuran with His divine legs is mentioned in the 
final pAsuram ---Oradiyum sAduthaitha-- which is also referred in this sixth 
pAsuram as " kaLLach sakatam kalakkazhia kAl vOchi".

The kshErApthi nAdhan is talked by poizhgai AzhwAr "veLLathil vuLLAnum" in the 
99th pAsuram of mudhal thiruvandhAdhi which is also mentioned here as "veLLath 
aravil thuyil amarndha vithu"

As seen earlier, this devotee is likened to a new devotee. Likewise, poizhgai 
AzhwAr states " onRum adhanai vuNarEan nAn" mudhal thiruvandhAdhi 2 which 
corroborates this idea.
Hene, it is concluded that this pAsuram refers to poizgai AzhwAr.

The seventh pAsuram: "pEip peN" refers to pEi AzhwAr. How?

mUnRAm thiruvandhAdhi commences with the divine term "thiruk kaNdEan" which 
brings into limelight Lord's vaibhavam.
Further, pEi AzhwAr falls into raptures and talks like a woman in the pAsuram 
"nEnda thOl mAl nEL kadal nErAduvAn"
"pUNda nAL ellAm pugum" -mUnRAm thiruvandhAdhi 69 ;

Lord's krishNA's great deeds are cherished in the pAsuram ' kOvalanAi AniraigaL 
mEithuk kuzhalUdhi" 42;
The Lord's deed in conquring the bulls are spelt out in mUnRAm thiruvandhAdhi " 
pinnaikkA yERRuyirai attAn"85;

Considering all these aspects it is concluded that "pEi peNNEA" refers to 
pEi-AzhwAr.
