periyavAchchAn piLLai<\/a>, who is celebrated as parama kAruNikar (most merciful) in our sampradAyam, first finished doing 24000 padi vyAkyAnam for thiruvAimozhi<\/a> based on nampiLLai<\/a>\u2019s approval. Then\u00a0periyavAchchAn piLLai<\/a> started doing vyAkyAnam for the remaining three-thousands of the aruLich cheyal (dhivya prabandham)<\/a>. First, he writes vyAkyAnam for thirupallANdu. Let us start enjoying the highlights of this nectar.<\/p>\n

Highlights from the avathArikai (Introduction)<\/h2>\n

The swarUpam of emperumAn<\/a> is sarvaswAmi (master of all others) and sarvaniyanthA (one who rules all others), whereas the swarUpam of jIvAthmA<\/a> is dhAsathvam. Pertaining to this knowledge, the prApthi (right) of jIvAthmA<\/a> (chEthanan – sentient) towards emperumAn is bhagavath kainkaryam. But the chEthanas take the wrong route of going away from this wonderful purushArththam (goal) due to the sambandham (relationship) with achith<\/a>. On seeing this, to ensure that the chEthanas turn towards emperumAn, Iswaran<\/a> first gave us sAsthram.<\/p>\n

On seeing that giving sAsthrams also not helping, emperumAn<\/a> did thiruvavathArams (incarnations) in leelA vibhUthi trying to establish dharmam and the required activities, by showing himself living in this world according to sAsthram. But even that effort was also in vain, as none of the samsAris turned towards emperumAn, rather all of them started saying that such thiruvavathArams are also one amongst us and not Iswara<\/a>!! So, to correct samsAris emperumAn<\/a> gave srI periyAzhwAr<\/a> to this world.<\/p>\n

If so, what is the glory of srI periyAzhwAr<\/a>. Let us see that. This AzhwAr has natural dhAsathvam towards emperumAn<\/a>. This can be understood by his own words \u201cEzhAtkAl<\/em>um pazhippilOm nAngaL\u201d in thirupallANdu. Because of this, periyAzhwAr realized that emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s kainkaryam is this jIvAthmA<\/a>\u2019s deed to be done and found that krishNan, himself, went to srI mAlAkArar\u2019s thirumALigai and took the garland from him. From then onwards, srI periyAzhwAr was doing pushpa kainkaryam to vatapathrasAyi emperumAn of srivillipuththUr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

periyAzhwAr<\/a> has much difference compared to other AzhwArs<\/a>;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Other AzwhArs<\/strong><\/td>\nperiyAzhwAr<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
All other AzhwArs used emperumAn for their samruththi (flourishment).<\/td>\nBut periyAzhwAr held bhagavath samruththi (mangalAsAsanam) as his purushArththam.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
They took Iswaran as shelter to remove their fears<\/td>\nperiyAzhwAr thought himself as shelter for Iswaran and always feared about what will happen to emperumAn<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Similairly, thiruppallANdu is also much different from other dhivya prabandhams<\/a>. This is even precious than thiruvAimozhi itself.<\/p>\n
