nAdhan anbartAl thooli narpAnan nankaliyan

In the following three paasurams, Sri Andal awakens the Azhvars who took

avatharam after her. A doubt may arise. How did andal awaken the Azhvars who

were born in the future? Sri PBA swamy answers the doubt by quoting the

following srisookthi of aalavandaar “vidhayascha vaidhikAstvadeeya gambeera

manOnu sArinA:” and bhAshyam of Bhavabhoothi “rusheenAm punarAthyAnAm

vAsamarthOnudhAvathi”.

 

 

 

The next paasuram, “pullinvAi keendAnai” indicates towards thondaradipodi azhvar

who stands next in the queue of Azhvars. “pOdhu ari kanninAi” refers to

thondaradipodigal whose eyes were always focused on plucking the flowers.

Thondaradipodi Azhvar’s main kainkaryam was pushpa kainkaryam (adorning the lord

with tulasi and flowers). He himself says in his paasurams, “tulabhath thondAya

tholseer thondaradipodi” and “thodaiyoththa thulabhamum koodaiyum polindhu

thOndriyathOl thondaradipodi”.

 

 

 

Pavai! This reference also suits this azhvar well. A wife highly dedicated to

her husband is called as pAvai. Thondaradipodi Azhvar was so dedicated to

arangan that he never sang or visited anyother divyadesam. He even refused to

think about another divya desa perumal and hence remained like a chase women

married to ranganatha.

 

 

 

NannAnAl Andal starts her prabhandam praising the Tamil month of margazhi

(“mArghazhiththingal madhiniraidha nannAnAl”). Thondaradipodi Azhvar was born

in month of marghazhi, which is considered as the best month by andal.

 

 

 

Kallam thavirindhu: Thondaradipodi azhvar talks about his “kallam” (falsehood)

in many of his paasurams.”soodhanAi kalvanAgi”, “kallamE kAdal seidhu”,

“kallaththE nAnum thondAi”. Even in his story this azhvar has been charged for

stealing a golden vessel and then was proved faultless. Only then azhvar joined

the ghosti of bhagavatas. Since this azhvar also like periazhvar spent most of

his time in the garden the reference “pullum silambhina kAn” indicating the same

has been given in this paasuram.

 

 

 

Kullakulira: This azhvar forgot even bathing and doing the daily rituals for

sometime in his story. This has been indicated in the following lines. Then

starting with the words “pullinvAi keedAnai” praises about rama krishnAvataras

have been given. Since this azhvar ends his thirumAlai prabhandam with

“valavezhum thavala mAda maduraimA nagaranthannul kavalamAl yAnai kondrai

kannanai arangamAlai” and in thirupalliezhuchi says “mAmuni vElviyai kAththu

avapiradhamAtiya vaduthiral ayOdhiyam arasE arangaththammA!” thereby talking

about rama krishnAvataras. “PillaigalellArum” indicates towards all the earlier

Azhvars.
