Sri Parthasarathi thunai

Srimathe rAmAnujaya Namaha

Sri vara vara munayE Namaha

Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha

 

In the twenty-sixth paasuram, “mAlE! ManivannA!” puduvaiyarkOn kOdhai

talks about the great muni who holds the tridandam in his hand.

Andal praises the bright face of the great teacher, Sri rAmAnuja

filled with knowledge as the “kOla vilakku”. She calls the tridandam

as the winning torch (jaya kodi). Thereby andal does mangalasasanam

to ethirajar as, “kOla vilakkE! KodiyE “

 

In the twenty-seventh paasuram, “koodArai vellum seer” andal predicts

the greatness of EmperumAnAr who will win over all those who were on

the other side opposing him. Not only will the lord Krishna wins

over anyone who opposed him and make them his bhakthas, his greatest

devotee rAmAnujar will also have the same capacity to make everyone

his adiyars.

 

In the twenty-eighth paasuram, “karavaigal pin sendru” andal admires

the relationship, which is going to be built between emperuman and

EmperumAnAr. Periazhvar her father, thiruvaragan, her manavalan

(husband), and all the divya desa emperumans who dissolved her in

love mesmerizing her with their beauty (thirumAliruncholai azhagar,

thiruvenkatamudayAn) are going to consider udayavar as their close

relative and she herself is going to enjoy calling udayavar as her

brother. This thoughts in andal’s mind is reflected behind her

words, “vunthannOdu vuravEl namakku engu vozhikka vozhiyAdhu”

 

In the twenty-nineth paasuram, “chittranchiru kale” andal shows the

desire of empermAnAr (adisesha avatara) in doing divine service to

the lord. In rAmAvatharam adisesha did service to ramapiran as

lakshmana. In the Krishna avathara, adisesha became the elder

brother balarama and now in this kali yuga he will take avathara as

rAmAnuja to serve all the archa emperumans and hence andal says,

“vunakkE nAmAt seivOn” reflecting the mind of adisesha.

 

In the thirtieth paasuram, “vanga kadal kadaindha” andal says, “engum

thiruvarul petru enburuvar”. This thiruvarul is going to be granted

by EmperumAnAr as he will be the “Vishnu lOka mani mandapa

mArgadhAyee” (the one who will show the route to srivaikundam).

People who are interested in attaining paramapadam as per azhvar’s

words “vaikundam puguvadu mannavar vidhiyE” may ask, “Who is the

emperuman who will grant moksha –emperuman+yAr? The answer is

simple, EmperumAnAr. Thereby sri andal all through her 30 paasurams

in thiruppavai has kept in mind the future avatharam of EmperumAnAr

and reflects the prediction in her words.
