Swamy Nammazhvar, prappanna jana koodastar getting vexed with this

samsara says, “erul tharu mA jnAlaththul eni piravi yAn vEndEn” (I

don’t want to be born any more in this land of darkness). But

amazingly andal says, “ettraikkum ezhezh piravikkum” She wants to

take birth for many more janmas. To do what? “vuttrOmE yAvOm vunakkE

yAm AtseivOm” The birth should be along with krishna and with a close

relationship with him to do all sorts of kainkaryams under his divine

feet. Andal says, “I do not want to be born even like bharata or sita

who had to be separated from the lord for sometime. We should be like

lakshmana who was always with the lord and didn’t wish for anything

else other than the kainkaryam.” Sri Chakravarthi thirumagan wanted

to crown lakshmana as the prince but lakshmana refused. Such should

be the state of all Srivaishnavas that is why andal prays, “maRRai

nam kAmangal mARRu” Chatrugna got rid of the attraction towards even

rama for the sake of bhAgavata kainkaryam. Similarly, andal wants

emperuman to remove even her passion towards emperuman’s sowndaryam

(beauty) for the sake of doing kainkaryam. This paasuram “ciRRam

sirukAlE” was very close to the hearts of all our poorvacharyas.

Andal’s mastery is shown in flooding this single paasuram with number

of rahasyArthas.

 

This paasuram is considered to be the explanation for the thiruashtAkshari

“nee.. govinda…vunakku” –Meaning of Akaram

“vunakkE” Here the “kE” EkAram highlights the meaning of vukAram

“nAm” makAram

“vunthannOdu vuRROmE AvOm” Narayana padham

“eRRaikkum ezh ezh piravikkum AtseivOm” Meaning of ‘Aya’

“maRRai nam kAmangal mARRu” “nama:”

 

It is necessary for every Srivaishnavite to recite all the 30

paasurams of thiruppavai daily else atleast the last two paasurams

have to be recited else atleast meditate on the state of our acharyas

while they recited these paasurams say our poorvacharyas (Sri Parasara

bhattar).
