Earlier the difference between thirumangai azhvar’s involvement in

contrasts with the other rishis and Azhvars were explained. Now Sri

PVP engages himself to show the ultimate difference in the love of

thirumangai azhvar towards emperuman. This azhvar is not like the

other Azhvars or the dear daughter of Sri Janakarajan (Sri Seetha

piratti). Kaliyan is so soft in nature that he can never withstand

the separation from emperuman even for a minute. When emperuman

tried to get away from azhvar for sometime then azhvar stopped

perumal saying, “Did you think me also to be like your other

devotees? I do not have the capacity to enjoy you like the malayar

ootru (they are capable to eat continuously for eight to ten days and

then stay without any food for the next eight to ten days). I cannot

enjoy you for a period of time and then stay away from you without any

anubhavam like the other Azhvars or Seetha piratti who stayed away

from you for ten months. I cannot stay in your separation even for a

second” whereas While together, “I do not understand who this person

standing along with the chakra and golden sArngam in his hand is.”

Says azhvar failing to realize emperuman even when emperuman came and

stood before azhvar with his entire divine exceptional identities.

 

“Aga, emperuman evarkku nirhEdhukamAga chit achit Ishvara

thatvattrayaththaiyum kAttikkodukka kandu anubhaviththu “adhanir

Periya ennavA” endru thammudaiya abhinivEshaththukku erai pOrAmaiyAlE

alamandhu koopittu, pinbhu, thAm avAvattru veedupettru

thrupthanAnapadiyai pEsi thalaikattugirAr – epprabhandhaththAl”

 

In this way, emperuman showed him, due to his divine grace the

thatvattrayam viz., chit, achit and Ishvaran. Azhvar enjoyed seeing

the same but not satisfied with the same called for emperuman to

satisfy his further wishes and then later sang about the way he was

blessed with the divine house, the paramapadam fulfilling all his

wishes satisfactorily in this last prabhandam (thirunedundAndagam).

 

With this the avathArikai (Introduction) of Sri PeriyavAchAn pillai to

Thirumangai Azhvar’s final prabhandam, the thirunedundAndagam (equal

to a sastram according to our acharyas) comes to an end. This series

was written to just spread awareness among the bhagavatas about the

Excellency of Sri PVP’s style of commentary in simple and easily

understandable format. It is a common fear in all our minds that the

vyakhyanams of our acharyas cannot be understood by reading ourselves.

It is not so. Probably it is difficult the first time but then no

theory even in our science books are understood by us the very first

time. On reading twice or thrice along

with clearing our doubts here and there with the always-ready acharyas

and scholars we all are sure to understand the indepth meanings of our

azhvar’s erachchorkal with the help of our poorvAcharya vyakhyanams.

Why not make a try? No loss if you don’t succeed but if you don’t

try then it is surely a big loss.

 

The transliteration/translation in the series of postings may be very

poor. Adiyen begs the pardon of the bhagavatas for the same. But

adiyen sincerely hopes by the krupai of Sri Parthasarathi emperuman

and blessings of our acharya the series will surely serve its purpose

and make atleast a few of you open the vyakhyanam books in your

bookself that have not been dusted for long due to the fear of not

being able to understand the language (mani-pravalam).
