Tiruppavai - Pasuram 5 : nAmA 12 (mAyan) 

mAyanai mannu vada madura maindhanai
thooya peru neer yamunai thuRaivanai 
aayar kulaththinil thOnRum aNi viLakkai 
thaayaik kudal viLakkam seydha dhaamOdharanai
thooyOmAy vandhu naam thoomalar thoovith thozhudhu 
vAyinAl pAdi manaththinaal sindhikka 
pOya pizhaiyum pugutharuvaan ninRanavum 
theeyinil thoosAgum ceppElOr embaavaay
In this pasuram 5, AndAL glorifies five nAmAs : 12. mAyan 13. vada madurai 
maindhan 14. yamunai thuraivan 15. aayar kula anilviLakku 16. damOdaran 12. 
mAyan : This is inherent gunA of the Lord and he got many such praises during 
Krishna avatAram as poyyan, kaLvan, sUdhan. Almost all azhwars have sung about 
his mAyam. Swamy Nammazhwar "ariyA kalathuLe adimai kaN anbu seivithu, ariyA 
mAmAyathul adiyEnai vaithAyal" and praises that his mAyam is such that without 
even the azhwAr knowing, Lord has entered his mind, just like in vAmanA 
avathAram, where even without the realisation of mahAbali, the Lord measured 
all the worlds. 

But, AndAL here praises the mAyam, Lord did to nithya sUrIs. She uses the nAmA 
before Lord reached madura (mannu vada madura maindhan). In nitya mandalam "tad 
vishnOhO paramam padagum sadhA pashyanti sUrayaha" nitya surIs always have 
darshan without any interruption. Though there is no time factor in nithya 
mandalam, the Lord came to madura during dUpa aradhanai when smokes emanated 
and his avatAram was a flick of eyes for them. 

AndAl uses the namam mA mAyan in later pasuram as how he entered back into 
nithya mandalam after the completion of his avataram. We shall see when that 
pasuram comes.

The next nAmA 13 appears in pasuram 5 - "vada madura maindhan", sowseelyam of 
the Lord. (to be continued)
