Guest guest Posted December 12, 1997 Report Share Posted December 12, 1997 Dear bAgawathALs, Sri ANDAL thiruvadikaLE saraNam It is reported in achArya vaibavam that Sri Ramanujar used to deliver the bAshyams for Sri Brahma Sutra, upanishads, and Srimad bagwad Geetha during the day time. In the evenings and early night time, it seems he used to request the "aRaiyar" to chant thiruppAvai. While listening to these 30 terse verses his emotions used to be high and his eyes pour tears (bakthi para vasak kaNNeer) in plenty wetting his thiru aadai (dress) even. Once a person had asked him, "Swamin, you have delivered so many vyAkyAnams for many nools. Why didn't you make one for thirup pAvai ? ". Sri Ramanujar was telling it seems "en pOnRavar ithanai sollath thagunthathu aNRu. mugavaay izhantha moodar ithanai unarAr. mullaik kodi pONRu menmaiyAna paNbudaiya magaLirE ithanai unarvar". ie., People like me cannot do vyAyAnams for this. And certain foolish men who had lost their identity (ie., who has strayed from the path of purusharthakaram) are not eligible to chant these either. Those woman who had not lost their nature of being tender and kind as similar to the trunk of the jasmine plant only knew and would understand this nool". It seems he added that many boologam mangaiyar who are not performing the nOnbu aren't going to be doing this. Even vaikunda mangaiyar such as periya piraati, nila devi wouldn't know this as they want to keep the lord for themselves. However, gothA piraati who is sharing these with all others of us may tell this and learn from this. meaning She is the only one who can deliver this again for us. Due to this extraordinary attachemnt Sri Ramanujar had with thirup pAvai and ANDAL, he is also known as "thirup pAvai jeer". There are few incidents in emperumAnAr Sri Ramanujar's vaibavam that demonstrates his intense attachment to Sri ANDAL and thirup pAvai.
