Guest guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Sri:Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Thiruppavai and Divyadesams by Sri PB Annangarachariar Swami Pasuram: PullumDivyadesam: Thiruvanvandur The phrase "veLLai viLisangin pEraravam kEttilaiyO"is to be taken as key in this pasuram. The divyadesam of Thiruvanvandur was sung only byNammazhvar in Thiruvaymozhi 6-1, "vaigal pUngkazhivAy". This decad is about Parankusa Nayakisending birds as messengers to the Lord who residesin Thiruvanvandur. In pasuram 6-1-9, Azhvar callsout to the swans as "alarmEl asaiyum annagAL" andgives them a description of Thiruvanvandur asfollows: "vidivai sangkolikkum thiruvanvaNdUr".That is, he tells the birds to identify this divyadesam through the sound of the conches. The sound of the conch is the sound of praNavam.Pranavam is made of akAram, ukAram and makAram.In Thiruvaymozhi 6-1, Azhvar brings in akAram inthe pasuram "adigaL kai thozhudhu", ukAram in"uNarththal Udal uNarndhu" and makAram in "min koL sEr purinuL". Similarly, in this Thiruppavai pasuram, Andal brings in akAram, ukAram and makAram through "ari enra pEraravam", "uLLam pugundhu" and "munivargaLum". The relationship between the two pasurams is notjust in the letters but also in the meanings. Thus, the divyadesam of Thiruvanvandur is sungby Andal in this pasuram.
