Sri Parthasarathi thunai

 

Srimathe rAmAnujaya Namaha

 

Sri vara vara munayE Namaha

 

Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha

 

 

 

“poigaiyAr bhoodhaththAr pEyAr pugazh mazhisai

 

iyan arul mAran sEralarkOn-tuiyapatta

 

nAdhan anbartAl thooli narpAnan nankaliyan

 

edhivar thOtrath thadaivAm engu”

 

 

 

In the next paasuram, “nOttru suvargam” Sri Andal awakens the next elder azhvar

to thirumazhisaipiran, pEyAzhvar. The yogis, the mudal Azhvars, poigai,

bhoodham and pey kept on moving from one place to another without meeting each

other till the day when emperuman decided to enjoy their satsangam in the

corridor (edaikazhi) in thirukkovaloor. Thiruvarangathamudhanar in his

nootrandhAdhi says about pEyAzhvar as follows: “manniya pErirul mAndapin kOvalul

mAmalarAl thannOdu mAyanai kandamai kAttum thamizh thalaivan”.

 

 

 

Poigai azhvar and bhoodhaththAzhvar lit two lamps and in that light the third

among them, pEyAzhvar saw emperuman and sang, “ThirukkandEn ponmEni kandEn”.

This meaning has been shown in the very first line of andal’s paasuram.

 

 

 

NOttru: The other two Azhvars lighted two lamps and did the required

upAyAnushtAnam. Suvargam is nothing but anandAnubhavam (relishing happiness)

Piratti in Sri Ramayana says, “yestvayA saha sa svargO nirayOya stvayAvinA”.

 

 

 

VAsal thiravAdhAr: In thirukkovaloor, poigaiazhvar entered first and closed the

door. Then bhoodhaththAzhvar came and hence poigayar opened the door for

bhoodhaththAzhvar. When pEyAzhvar came bhoodhaththAr opened the door for him.

But since no one came after pEyazhvar andal here calls him as vAsal thiravAdhar.

This is a very apt phrase for pEyAzhvar.

 

 

 

NAttraththuzhAi mudi nArAyanan: PeyAzhvar is very fond of the thiruththuzhAi,

which emperuman adorns and hence he sings about the thiruththuzhai in many

places. In the second paasuram, in his moondram thiruvandhAdhi he says,

“ponthOi varai mArbil poonthuzhai” and in the ending paasuram,”thaNthuzhAithAr

vAzhvarai mArban”. In between also in many paasurams azhvar talks about

narayanan and the thiruththuzhai he adorns. In the ninth paasuram (nAmam pala

solli), azhvar talks about narayanan, thiruththuzhai and kannan simultaneously.

 

 

 

PandorunAl…..: Andal awakens azhvar equating him to kumbakarnan. Andal says,

“You were the person who sang, “kAnkAn ena virumbum kangal” and wanted to have

darshan of emperuman always not stopping even for a second, then how come you

are sleeping so long winning over even kumbakarna who is supposed to be the best

sleeper.” Kootraththin vAi veezhdha – the one who reached the southern

direction, kumbakaranan or the one who has the kumbam as the reason for birth,

i.e., agaththiyar who was born from a kumbam (a type of holy vessel) lost to

your Tamil scholarship. That is why amudhanar also praises pEyAzhvar as thamizh

thalaivan.

 

 

 

In this paasuram andal talks about Sri rAmapiran in the middle to indicate

pEyAzhvar doing the same in the middle of his thiruvandhAdhi (“avanE-elangApura

meriththAneidhu” and “eidhadhuvum then elangai kOn veezha”)

 

 

 

In the previous paasuram andal while awakening thirumazhisaipiran says

“ananthalO” whereas here she says “AttraanandhaludaiyAi!” This is because this

azhvar is an acharya to thirumazhisaipiran and hence has been given a special

adjective. Ananthal does not refer to the ordinary sleep but here it refers to

the height of paramaikAnthikam, which has been greatly celebrated in the sastras

as “vurOvinyastha hastAsthE nidhrAyanthE sunirbharA:”

 

 

 

ArunkalamE: This azhvar is the luckiest vessel who has received the grace of

emperuman fully at the very start of his paasuram. Other Azhvars have strived

to get emperuman’s darshan and has finally received the same but this azhvar in

the very start sings, “thirukkandEN pon mEni kandEn”

 

 

 

ThEttramAi vandhu thira: “Your name itself is pEyAr (a mad person). So Oh!

azhvar get to your self and come and open the door leaving your madness” awakens

andal.
