Sri Parthasarathi thunai

Srimathe rAmAnujaya Namaha

Sri vara vara munayE Namaha

Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha

 

In the twenty-first paasuram, ?Ettra kalangal? Sri Andal, talks about the 
greatness of the acharya who is going to be a refuge to all jeevatmas. 
Ethirajar will even change the wrong attitude of his acharya, yadhava prakasa 
who wrongly misinterpreted the verses in vedas. Yadhava will later become the 
shisya of ethirajar. Yagna moorthi, who once opposed rAmAnuja will later 
surrender to his divine feet and will be named as ?arulAlapperumAl 
emperumAnAr?. In this way, rAmAnujar will win over all those who opposedhim and 
later they will surrender to his divine feet and become his sath sishyas. This 
Sri andal celebrates as, ?mAttrAr vunakku vali tholaindhun vAsarkan AttrAdhu 
vun adipaniyumApOlE?.

 

In the twenty-second paasuram, ?angan mA nyAlaththu? Sri kOdha piratti enjoys 
the calm nature of ethirajar. Ethirajar will be a master in both Sribhashya 
tattvams and in bhagavat vishaya kalashepams. But while teaching the same to 
his disciples he will not just show off his talents but with great mercy on the 
ignorant disciples, the acharya will make the meanings clear and make it stay 
in the minds of the disciple for ever. After explaining the points in a slow 
pace swamy will glance at the disciples inorder to make sure that the point is 
clear in the minds of the disciple which Sri andal celebrates as ?senkan 
chiruchirithE enmEl vizhiyAvO!?

 

In the twenty-third paasuram, ?mAri malai muzhanjil? Andal regards emperumANAr 
as the great lion ruling over the crown of Srivaishnavism. Ramanujar will 
remain as the sleeping lion when he stayed in thirunArayanapuram, regarded as 
the jnana mandapam by srivaishnavas. He will remain as the awakened energetic 
lion when he stayed in bhoga (Srirangam) and pushpa (thiruppathi) mandapams and 
then he will remain with great charm along with the 74simhAsanAdhipathis which 
andal praises as ?seeriya singam?.

 

In the twenty-fourth paasuram, ?andru evvulagallanthAn? Sri andal talksabout 
the bhashyakArar who is going to measure whole of India with his foot. Inspite 
of no means of transport and lot of hindrances on the way ethirajar will go to 
all the divya desams from Kashmir to kannyakumari (including vadari, salagramam 
etc.,) on his foot and spread the great philosophy of vishistAdvaitam to one 
and all. Andal does mangalasasanam to those divine feet well in advance as 
?vulagamalthAi adi pOttri?

 

In the twenty-fifth paasuram, ?oruththi maganAi pirandhu? andal tells about the 
ethirajar who is going to get lost for a night and will be saved by the divine 
couples, like attaining a new janma. Yadhava getting angry towards rAmAnujar, 
talking against his interpretations will try to kill him during the ganga 
yathra. Coming to know about the plan from his cousin, govindan ethirajar will 
escape through the forest where he will loose his way.A hunter and his wife 
(devaperumal and perundEvi thAyar in disguise) willshow him the way. While 
rAmAnujar goes to fetch water for the couple who are in thirst the couple will 
disappear. Coming to senses, ethirajar will realize that the place where he was 
standing, was kanchi and also that the couples where none other than the divine 
couples and from that day will start to do theertha kainkaryam to devAdhirAjan 
and perundevi thayar. Andal predicts this incident and says, ?Oriravil ?.. 
oliththu valara?
