Query on Thiruppavai

[Guest guest]

Dear members, I would like to get madhwa scholar's view on Thiruppavai. This is the first time I am coming across (Please blame it on my knowledge level and know how) a news that Thiruppavai is a Tamil vyakhyana of bhagavatam.Please refer to the email from Shri Narahari Sumadhwa on Shri Vidya Vachaspathi Theertharu below. I am curious to know how we perceive it as it is written by Andal one of the 12 Alwars (and the only woman Alwar) of Vishistadhvaitha matha. I am also curious to know if Andal is an avathara or amsha of Lakshmi Devi as it is beleived that she married Lord Sri Hari in Srirangam. Also we could see Andal Sannadhi invariably in all the Vaishnava temples. Personally, the Thiruppavai songs (marghazhi thingal mathi niraintha nannallam..) are a delight to sing in carnatic style and it is a sampradhaya for iyengars to sing daily during Marghsheerasa Maasa Thanks and regardsSathya Sathyanathan JayatheerthanChennai.
