In the sixth paasuram, “pullum silambhinakAn” Pullaraiyan koil refers to

srirangam in bharatha kandam where the biggest garudan gives darshan. The great

acharya who is going to adorn the acharya peedam in srirangam, Sri rAmAnujar who

has a beautiful neck similar to the beauty of the white conch (vellai vili

sanghu) and a striking voice is going to spread the srivaishnava matham all over

the world. This is what andal means while she says, “pullaraiyan kOil vellai

vilisanghin pEraravam” (The sound of the white calling conch belonging to

srirangam).

 

 

 

In the seventh paasuram, “keesu keesendru” Andal says “kalandhu pEsina

pEcharavam” referring to the debating talent of EmperumAnAr both in Sanskrit and

tamil. EmperumAnAr showed his vedantic knowledge to all the kudarka vAdhis and

astonished them and more over explained to them how all these meanings were

flooded inside the Azhvars arulicheyalgal. This is what andal says as “kalandhu

pEsina pEchu”. This shows emperumAnAr’s ubhaya vedantha knowledge. Even today

that is why srivaishnavas well versed in Sanskrit and tamil vedas are called as

ubhaya vedanthis.

 

 

 

In the eighth paasuram, “keezhvAnam vellendru” Sri kOdhai nAchiyar refers to the

saddest incident in the history of kanchi devAdhirajan. Some araiyars from

srirangam will go in front of devadhirAjan and will sing and enact beautifully

some azhvar paasurams. Deva perumal who has a craze for azhvar paasuram will

get immersed in the divine anubhavam and will accept to give anything other than

him and his consorts. Immediately the araiyars will ask for EmperumAnAr and the

big tragedy will occur in the history of devaperumal. That is what andal says,

“devAdhidevanai sendru nAm sEviththAl AvAendru Araindhu aruluvAn”.

 

 

 

In the nineth paasuram, “thoomani mAdaththu” Andal calls EmperumAnAr to come and

save all the baddha jeevatmas from this samsAric world by bringing to light the

divine arthas which has been passed on from one acharya to other in a very safe

manner and not being allowed for everyone. EmperumAnAr will learn the same from

thirukkoshtiyur nambi after many hardships and make it known to all so that

everyone can reach the divine abode of emperuman, though he will be punished for

disobeying the orders of his acharya. That is what andal says, “manikkadhavam

thAl thiravAi” (open the doors to the divine abode).

 

 

 

In the tenth paasuram, “nOttru cuvargam” Sri andal adorns the divine qualities

of EmperumAnAr. EmperumanAr will spread to the world the great divine qualities

of sriman narayanan and establish the vishistAdvaita philosophy through his

sribhashyam and win over all other philosophies and show the right path to the

world. So andal praises Sri ethirajar to be “arunkalamE” (a vessel of grace).
