Even after azhvar surrendered to the divine feet of emperuman, perumal

did not appear before azhvar and hence azhvar wanted to react in the

similar way in which emperuman reacted in his previous avathara.

Earlier in the rama avathara, chakravarthi thirumagan Sri Rama pirAn

surrendered to the samudra raja (king of the oceans) who refused to

come in front of rama pirAn. Sri Rama became very angry and hence

shouted to lakshmana to bring his bow and arrow so that he can make

the water in the ocean to drain out using his arrow. Immediately

frightened by Sri rama’s anger, the king of the ocean came and fell

to rAmA’s divine feet. Similarly now azhvar starts to threaten

perumal. Azhvar sings the two Thirumadals in the wrong way (It is

not a practice for ladies to practice this ritual of madal in the

southern region) and goes to the extend of even causing a danger to

emperuman’s vibhuthis inorder to bring perumal in front of him. In

Siriya thirumadal, azhvar first threatens to destroy emperuman’s

ishwaryam and the greatness of the avatharas and their divine

qualities (avatharangalil vundAna neermai), which is equated to be

emperuman himself.

 

“adhukkum mugamkAttittrilan; ‘adhuthAn paradasaiyennum padi neermaikku

ellainilamAna koilgaluNdirE’ endrirundhAn endru kondu avanukkum

thanakkum vaippAna koyilgalil nindra neermaiyaiyum azhikkirEn endrar

– Periya ThirumadalilE. Eni mugamkAttAdhE ozhiyil jagaththu

aneeshvaramAmendru parththu, prahladAdhigalukku mugamkAttumApOlE

evarukkum mugam kAtti thAnum evarum jagaththil vundAmpadi panninAn….”

 

Even after that emperuman refused to show his face to azhvar. ‘Still

there were the archa roopam hosted in the various temples, which

remains as the greatest identity to the emperuman in the fullest

form’ and that is why emperuman still hasn’t turned up to his call

thought azhvar and then proceeded to destroy the divinity in the

temples that were near and dear to both himself and emperuman in the

Periya thirumadal. Now emperuman realized that if he stayed without

giving darshan to azhvar any further then the world will consider

that there was no Ishwaran and hence immediately gave darshan to

azhvar as he did in front of prahladan and others and maintained his

position and that of azhvar’s in this world.

 

“sukAdhigalum mudhalazhvargalum parathvaththilE oondriyiruppArgal;

sanakAdhigalum thirumazhisaipiranum andharAthmadhaiyilE

oondriyiruppArgal; vAlmeekiyum, kulasekara perumAlum

thiruppAnAzhvarum kOyililE oondriyiruppArgal; Sri sownaka bhagavAnum,

evarum archAvathAraththilE oondriyiruppArgal….”

 

Sukar and others along with the mudal Azhvars was deeply involved with

the parathvam (para vAsudevan). Sanakar and others along with

thirumazhisaipiran were deeply involved with the andharyami.

VAlmeeki and kulasekara perumal had their special interest in the

rAmAvathAram. Parasarar, pArAcharyar (vyasar), nammAzhvar,

periyAzhvar and andal were deeply involved with krishnAvathAram.

Naradhar, Sri thondaradipodi Azhvar and thiruppAnAzhvar had their

special interests in kOyil (Srirangam). Sri sownaka bhagavan and

this azhvar (thirumangai mannan, kaliyan) deeply involved themselves

with the archAvatharam.
