anRu nAn piRandhilEAn

thiru-mazhisaip-pirAn mentions in his thriuch-chandha-vrutham "anRu nAn 
piRandhilEan, piRandha pin maRandhilEan"

I was not born then and after being born, I never forgot. 

Nobody is not born after being born. Then what does he says. ACcording to 
AzhwAr-s and pUrvAchAryAs they consider themselves as not born till they 
comprehend and realise the meanings of thiru-mandhiram after which they never 
forget Him and the mandhiram.

Hence, they deem themselves as not born till this stage and deem as being born 
only at this stage.

Hence, "anRu nAn piRandhilEan, piRandha pin maRandhilEan" 

This is what is referred to in mumUkshuppadi 24:
"pUrvAchAryargaL idhil artham aRivadhaRku munbu, thangaLai piRandhadhAga 
ninaithiRArgaL;idhil artha-gnAnam piRandha pinbu, "piRandha pin 
maRandhilEan'engirapadiyEa,
ithaiyozhiya vEARonRAl kAlakshEpam paNNiaRiyArgaL' 

Our AchAryAs do not consider themselves as born before understanding the 
meaning of thiru-mandhiram; They deem themselves to have been born only after 
this .

Are we now deemed to be born now?
