'Anaiyin thuyaram thErap puL vUrndhu"

It is known to one and all that sri parthasarathy is the prime presiding deity 
in thiruvallikkEANi. He is the one for the 'puRappAdu' for Ekadhasi or 
amAvAsyai. Any other important events He is given preference to others like 
narashimhA, rangA , rAmar or varadhar.

Next in the list is sri narasimhA who has got a big  brahmOtsavam for Him also, 
like parthasarathy and has a big fan club.

The thiruvallIkkEani em-perumAn-s are sung with devoiton by sri kaliyan in the 
third thiru-mozhi of the second ten. "viRperu-villum, kanjanum , mallum, 
vEAzhamum,pAganum, vEzha.." 2-3-1;

Nevertheless, sri varadhar is the one who is highlighted for this thiru-mozhi 
by swAmi periya-vAchAn piLLai.Sri ranganAthar is also quoted in this regard.

The vyAkyAnam runs as follows " manushyarAyiruppAr pushpAthupakaraNangaLaik 
koNdu AsrayikkAmpadi vandhu kidandha mAthramanRikkEa, oru thriyakku ip-pUviR 
sevviazhiyAdhapadi thiruvadigaLilEa paNimARa vEaNum enRidar pada, avvidaraith 
thErkaikkAga ..maduvin karaiyilEa, araikulaiya, thalai kulaiya vandhu vizhundhu 
athaiyARRi ,innum ippadi idarpaduvAr uNdOA!
enRu sAindharuLinAn, kaNdEAn engiRAr"


Human devotees desire to worship the Lord with flowers and the like. This 
apart, even an elephant desired to worship with fresh flower but got itself 
into hindrance and the Lord rushed to the spot Himself , removed the obstacle 
and consoled the elephant and fulfilled its desire. Over and above this, the 
Lord still reclines there in thiruvallikkEANi to obliterate any such 
difficulties"

Here, the gajendra mOksham is narrated but the vision is of sri ranganAthar 
-ennai ALudaiyappan. 

Why is that gajEndhra mOksham episode is taken as primary for this thiru-mozhi? 
In the preceding thirumozhi, the Lord's auspicious quality of lowering Himself 
for the sake of devotees was narrated. In this though these qualities are 
mentioned, the fact that the Lord help even animals is of utmost importance.
