Coming to the last paasuram in thiruppavai “vanga kadal kadaindha mAdhavanai kEsavanai”, we have now come to the end of this series. All through her prabhandam andal had been talking about kannan and now in this paasuram she calls him by two divine thirunamas, “mAdhavan" (one who has Sridevi in his chest) and "Kesavan" (KEsi hanthA, one who overrides all the hurdles that prevents us from reaching the divine lord). This makes adiyen feel that probably andal sang her thiruppavai only for Sri Parthasarathi in mAdamAmayilai thiruvallikeni. Why because Parthasarathi is none other than kannan and to all our surprise here he undergoes kalyana utsavam only with kodha nachiyar and very close to thiruvallikeni in mylapore we are able to have the divine darshan of mAdhavan (at madhava perumal koil) and Kesavan (at kesava perumal koil) and beyond all these thiruvallikeni as per the puranas is called as “brindAranyam” Andal wished to go to brindavanam and she envied the conch in the hands of emperuman in her nachiyar thirumozhi. Here we find venkata Krishnan in brindaranyam holding only the conch on his right hand. So surely to have the divine anubhavam of andal thiruvallikeni is the right place.

 

In this final paasuram, andal gives the pala shruthi. She says, “It is not that only the gopis in thiruAypAdi attained the divine kainkaryam of emperuman or we in Srivilliputtur got the same by doing anukAram it is possible for one and all who wishes to attain the same by just reciting this prabhandam.” In adiyen’s anubhavam it is real joy to chant the verses of thiruppavai and enjoy in front of Sri andal sametha Sri Parthasarathi emperuman in thiruvallikeni. Marghazi month is a real treat since thiruppavai upanyasams happen in many places giving our ears the cause for their existence.

 

In the previous paasuram we saw the meaning of thirumanthram embedded. In this paasuram, the meaning of dwayam has been given by andal. The first two lines give the poorvakandArtham and the last two give the uttara kandArtham.

Whatever adiyen has written in this series is just a token to increase all your interest and to show the greatness of our poorvacharya vyakhyanams. There may be many mistakes due to adiyen’s ignorance and limited knowledge. Adiyen begs the pardon under the divine feet of bhagavatas for any knowingly or unknowingly committed mistakes.
