Sri Parthasarathi thunai
Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha
Sri Vara Vara MunayE Namaha

Dear bhagavatas,

First of all let adiyen let you know the source from which adiyen is writing as 
requested by Smt.Vaidhehi. The book is titled "Sri rAmAnuja vijayam". This is a 
very old book published by Thiruvallikeni thennAcharya sampradaya sabhai on the 
occasion of 961th thirunakshatram of emperumAnAr (12-3-1978). This particular 
article has been given by Shri P.B.Annagaracharya swamy.

Adiyen fully accepts that there is no doubt that periazhvar had jnana poorthi 
and his jnanam was only covered by his over love for the lord. If a diamond is 
covered with mud it cannot glitter until the mud is removed. Here periazhvar's 
jnanam is covered by love and hence his knowledge is covered temporarily. So he 
acts like a person without knowledge (a + jnanam). The love which has covered 
his knowledge has only become the root for his mangalasasanam. Hope putting it 
this way will be acceptable to you.

Adiyen once again wants to stress the point that the meanings conveyed by our 
acharyas cannot be conveyed in a foreign language that easily with our limited 
knowledge. So whatever mistakes arises is purely due to adiyen's ignorance in 
the subject and the way of expression.

Adiyen begs the pardon of all bhagavatas for the same.

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
