Our Sri Ramanuja siddhAntham strongly believes in “mithuna sEshatvam” (all

jeevatmas are servants to the divine couples). What is the main role of

piratti? She does purushakaram (talks in favour of the poor soul and lessens

the anger of emperuman, thereby overcoming his svathantriyam (independence)

and making him accept the jeevatma into his divine feet.) In the

seventeenth paasuram, andal due to her great thirst to enjoy krishnAnubhavam

directly awoke krishna. But then she realized that in the time of

surrendering it is necessary to fall to the divine feet of piratti first and

with her support then approach the lord. In ayppadi the piratti close to

emperuman was nappinnai (neela devi) and hence in the eighteenth paasuram

“vundu madhakalitran” andal awakens nappinai piratti.

 

 

 

If in paramapadam we have to first fall to the divine feet of all the three

devis, Sri, bhoo and neela. In the vyahAvatara, in ksheerAbhdhi we have to

first surrender to the divine feet of Sri and bhoo devis. In ramavatara,

Sita piratti was the purushakara bhoothai (“aval sannadhiyAlE kAkam

thalipeRRadhu aval ellamaiyAlE ravanan madindhAn” Inspite of the great sin

kAkasuran did due to the grace of Sita devi he lost only his eyes. But

since piratti was not near chakravarthi thirumagan during the Rama-Ravana

yuddham ravana lost his life). In varahAvatara, bhoo devi alone is the

purushakArabhoothai. Whereas in krishnavatara when krishna was in gokulam

nappinai alone was his divine consort.

 

 

 

Krishna cherished to be the son of nandagopan and hence his divine consort

also cherished to be called as the daugher-in-law of nandagopan and hence

andal calls her as “nandagopalan marumagalE” Nandan was liked by everyone in

gokulam that is why these small gopis take the liberty to call him by name

as if he was their close friend. In gokulam all were bhagavatas there was

absolutely no age or sex differentiation. What they all wanted was

krishnAnubhavam. They will do anything for the sake of their dear krishna.

That is why andal and the gopis go in front of each and every house to

awaken everyone to jointly enjoy krishnAnubhavam.

 

 

 

This very paasuram is very near to the heart of Swamy emperumanar,

ThiruppAvai jeeyer.
