Just as it is mentioned in periya thirumadal \u201c<em>Or inniLa vanjikkodi<\/em>\u201d (incomparable, sweet, tender creeper), pirAtti, being like a creeper, cannot sustain herself unless she is with a supporting pole. Hence, she attained <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a> who is like her supporting pole. Just as emperumAn is the <em>uththaman<\/em> (best) among men, <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sri-mahalakshmi\/\">pirAtti<\/a> is the <em>uththamai<\/em> (best) among women.<\/p>\n<p><strong>thAmaraiyAL onRiya sIr mArvan<\/strong> \u2013 emperumAn became superior to everyone else only because pirAtti liked him. SrI vishNu purANam says \u201c<em>paSyathAm sarvadhEvAnAm yayau vakshasthalam hare: <\/em>\u201c (even as all the celestial entities were watching, thirumagaL (SrI mahAlakshmi) stepped on to the divine chest of <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a>). Here, the usage <em>paSyathAm dhEvAnAm<\/em> refers to 6<sup>th<\/sup> case in samskrutha grammar. Just as it is said of 6<sup>th<\/sup> case \u201c<em>anAdharE shashti<\/em>\u201d (6<sup>th<\/sup> case is used in places where there is a sense of indifference), <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sri-mahalakshmi\/\">pirAtti<\/a> climbed on to the divine chest of emperumAn even as celestial entities were watching, not bothering about them. She climbed on to the divine chest of emperumAn just as a mother climbs on to the mattress of her husband even as the children are seeing. SrI vishNu purANam 1-9-106 says \u201c<em>dhayA\u2019valOkithA dhEvA<\/em>:<em>&#8230;.parAm nirvruthimAgathA<\/em>:<em>.<\/em>\u201d (the celestial entities who were graced by her attained supreme bliss). After she climbed on to emperumAn\u2019s divine chest, realising what emperumAn thought of in his divine mind \u201clook at their troubles\u201d, pirAtti graced the celestial entities. Why did she not grace them in the first place? This is because she had to first realise her <em>svarUpam<\/em> (basic nature) and only then could she grace others. She could grace others only after knowing the divine mind of emperumAn! Just as it is mentioned in SrI rAmAyaNam yudhdha kANdam 131-80 \u201c<em>pradhEhi subhakE hAram yasya thushtAsi bhAminI<\/em>\u201d (Oh auspicious person!

Since <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sri-mahalakshmi\/\">pirAtti<\/a> had got separated from SrI rAma, first she had to get his grace and only after that could hanuman get her grace. vibhIshaNa got her grace first before getting SrI rAma\u2019s grace. SrI guhapperumAL (boatman guha) got both <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s and pirAtti\u2019s grace at the same time.
