In the sixteenth paasuram, “nAyaganAi nindra” Sri kOdhai nAchiyar regards

EmperumAnAr as the king of leaders. Sri rAmAnujar will show the path to moksha

and he himself will act as the guide for the route. About 12,000 Srivaishnavas,

thousands of ammaiyars (female disciples), 700 jeeyers will follow EmperumAnAr

and will always remain in his shadow and hence Andal clearly says, “nAyaganAi

nindra” He is going to be the head of all acharyas.

 

 

 

In the seventeenth paasuram, “anbaramE thanneerE” andal shows how EmperumAnAr is

going to be everything for his disciples. Swamy will be like food and life for

all his disciples. Andal calls EmperumAnAr as “ambaramE! thanneerE! Sore!”

indicating that he is going to be all three purusharthas for adiyars (dharma,

artha, kama) since Srivaishnavas never worry about their food, water or shelter

swamy will be thirumanthram, dvayam and charama slokam for Srivaishnavas.

Further indicating that adisesha who took avatharam as balarama is again going

to take another avatharam as ramanuja andal does mangalAsAsanam as

“semporkazhaladi selvA baladEvA!”.

 

 

 

In the eighteenth paasuram, “vundhu madhakalittran” andal talks about the

strength of EmperumAnAr. Sri rAmAnuja will gain all his strength from the

knowledge attained from his panchAcharya and will win over all the pAshandhis

and mAyAvadhis and remain with fame. That is why andal praises as “vundhu

madhakalittran OdAdha thOlvaliyan”

 

 

 

In the nineteenth paasuram, “kuththu vilakkeriya” andal tells about the bright

lamp of knowledge and bhakthi that is going to glow to enlighten the lives of

all the disciples. EmperumAnAr will have the four vedas as his cot’s 4 legs and

the vedantha will be his cozy bed. In the room the light which will glow will

be his works namely, vedantha saram, vedantha deepam, Sribhashyam, geetha

bhashyam, gadhyatrayam. That is what andal says, “kuththu vilakkeriya kOttukAl

kattil mEl meththendra panja sayanaththil” lies Sri ramanuja.

 

 

 

In the twentieth paasuram, “muppaththu moovar” Sri andal praises how Sri

rAmAnujar will remain like a fire to all his enemies. EmperumAnAr will appear

like a fire of knowledge in front of all those who have come to argue with him

and will burn all their ignorance and will make them realize the heat of fear.

Those who come opposing ramanuja will be burnt in the fire of defeat. That is

what Sri andal says, “settrArkku veppam kodukkum vimalA!”
