> > > This paasuram awakens periyAzhvar (periyAzhvar thirupalliezhuchi). Andal calls periAzhvar as "pillAi!" One who is ignorant is called as "pillAi". What is periAzhvar's ignorance? Periazhvar is ignorant (has forgotten) of the fact that perumal is sarva rakshakan (one who is the saviour of all) and hence he does mangalasasanams to perumal for the welfare of emperuman. Hence andal calls periAzhvar as "pillAi". "jnana vibhAga kAryamAna agnAnaththAlE varumavaiellAm adikazhanju perum" says pillai ulagAriyan in his Srivachana bhooshanam. Here lokAcharya shows that agnanam is the root for mangalAsAsanam. Dear Smt Sumithra, It is not jnAna vibhAga but jnAna vipAka. What Sri LokAchArya says here is important. jnAna vipAka kAryamAna agnAna means the apparent igonrance arising out of maturity in knowledge (jnAna vipAkam). So it is not that Alwar has forgotten the fact that He is sarva rakshaka but due to the love Alwar has for the Lord out of his gnAna pUrti or perfection in knowledge. Please forgive me for my mistakes. Ramanuja Dasan Vishnu
