Thiruppavai and Divyadesams -30

 

Pasuram: Vangakkadal

Divyadesam: Srivilliputtur

 

Previously in the pasuram " ma:le: manivanna: " ,

the Lord of Srivilliputtur, Vatapatrasayee,

was experienced. In this pasuram, the desam

of Srivilliputtur itself is experienced

through " ani pudhuvai " .

 

The divyadesam of Srivilliputtur was sung

only by Peiyazhvar (Periyazhvar Thirumozhi

2-2-6) and Andal (Nachchiyar Thirumozhi 5-5).

Periyazhvar speaks of Andal in his pasuram

while Andal speaks of Periyazhvar in Her

pasuram.

 

Periyazhvar sang " minnanaiya nunnidaiya:r

virikuzhal me:l nuzhaindha vandu, innisaikkum

villipuththu:r " . In this pasuram, the Lord

who is a bee ( " thu:viyam pulludaith dheyva

vandu " ) entering Andal's hair is brought

forth.

 

In Andal's pasuram ( " mennadai annam parandhu

vilaiya:dum villipuththu:r " ), Periyazhvar's

story of speaking the Vedanta meanings in

the sabha of the King can be seen. The

avatara of the Lord as Hamsa (annam) is for

saving the Vedas ( " annama:y anrangku arumarai

payandha:n " - Periya Thirumozhi 5-3-8). The

avatara of Vishnuchiththa (Periyazhvar) is

for bringing forth the meanings of all the

Vedas ( " pra:ha ve:da:n ashe:Sha:n " ).

 

Thus, the experience of Srivilliputtur is

only through the greatness of Andal and

Periyazhvar. And Srivilliputtur is

experienced in this pasuram.

 

Jai Srimannarayana!
