We have reached the entrance to your divine mansion, praising you, just as your enemies reach after losing their strength, without any other refuge, and bow down to your divine feet.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty second pAsuram. In this, ANdAL tells emperumAn that she and her friends do not have any other refuge and that they have come to him just like vibhIshaNa came to surrender to SrI rAma. She reveals to emperumAn that she has got rid of all her other desires and that she desires only his grace.<\/p>\n<p><em>angaN mA gyAlaththu arasar abhimAna<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 banghamAy vandhu nin paLLik kattil kIzhE<br \/>\n<\/em><em>sangam iruppAr pOl vandhu thalaippeydhOm<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 kiNkiNi vAych cheydha thAmaraip pUp pOlE<br \/>\n<\/em><em>sem kaN siRuch chiRidhE em mEl vizhiyAvO<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 thingaLum Adhiththiyanum ezhundhAR pOl<br \/>\n<\/em><em>am kaN iraNdum koNdu engaL mEl nOkkudhiyEl<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 engaL <\/em>mEl<em> sAbam izhindhu ElOr embAvAy<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We have come here just like kings who rule earth, which is beautiful, expansive and huge, assemble together, under your throne, after having their egos demolished.

If you look at us with your eyes which are like sun and moon, all our sorrows will disappear.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty third pAsuram. In this emperumAn kaNNa, having made ANdAL to wait for a long time, asks her as to what she desires. She tells him to get up from the bed, walk to his throne, and like a King, ask her in the assembly of his court as to what her request is.<\/p>\n<p><em>mAri malai muzhainjil mannik kidandhu uRangum<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 sIriya singam aRivuRRuth thI vizhiththu<br \/>\n<\/em><em>vEri mayir ponga eppAdum pErndhu udhaRi<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 mUri nimirndhu muzhangip puRappattu<br \/>\n<\/em><em>pOdharumA pOlE nI pUvaip pUvaNNA<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 un kOyil ninRu inganE pOndhu aruLik kOppu udaiya<br \/>\n<\/em><em>sIriya singAsanaththu irundhu yAm vandha<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 kAriyam ArAyndhu aruL ElOr embAvAy<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Oh the one who has a dark complexion like a purple flower!

After seeing him get seated, she starts carrying out <em>mangaLASAsanam<\/em> (invocation of blessings) to him. Being the divine daughter of periyAzhwAr, ANdAL\u2019s aim is to only carry out <em>mangaLASAsanam<\/em> to emperumAn. ANdAL and her friends carried out <em>mangaLASAsanam<\/em> to emperumAn after seeing his gait, just like sIthAp pirAtti, the sages at dhaNdakAraNyam and periyAzhwAr. They also felt sad that they had made emperumAn, who has such soft divine feet, to walk.<\/p>\n<p><em>anRu ivvulagam aLandhAy adi pORRi<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 senRu anguth thennilangai seRRAy thiRal pORRi<br \/>\n<\/em><em>ponRach chagadam udhaiththAy pugazh pORRi<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 kanRu kuNilA eRindhAy kazhal pORRi<br \/>\n<\/em><em>kunRu kudaiyA eduththAy guNam pORRi<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 venRu pagai kedukkum nin kaiyil vEl pORRi<br \/>\n<\/em><em>enRu enRu un sEvagamE Eththip paRai koLvAn<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 inRu yAm vandhOm irangu ElOr embAvAy<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The term <em>pORRi<\/em> means \u201cMay you live long\u201d denoting <em>mangaLASAsanam<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Oh one who measured these worlds long time back, for dhEvas!

You should shower your grace on us.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty fifth pAsuram: When emperumAn asks them as to whether they need anything for carrying out their <em>nOnbu<\/em>, they say that all their sorrows have disappeared after having carried out <em>mangaLASAsanam<\/em> to him and that the only thing that they want is <em>kainkaryam<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>oruththi maganAyp piRandhu Or iravil<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 oruththi maganAy oLiththu vaLarath<br \/>\n<\/em><em>tharikkilAnAgith thAn thIngu ninaindha<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 karuththaip pizhaippiththuk kanjan vayiRRil<br \/>\n<\/em><em>neruppenna ninRa nedumAlE unnai<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 aruththiththu vandhOm paRai tharudhi Agil<br \/>\n<\/em><em>thiruththakka selvamum sEvagamum yAm pAdi<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 varuththamum thIrndhu magizhndhu ElOr embAvAy<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Incarnating as the son of the unique dhEvaki pirAtti, and in that incomparable night, you grew as the son of the unique yaSOdhAp pirAtti.

We have come here, seeking from you what we wanted.\u00a0 If you fulfil our prayer, we will praise your wealth and valour, which even pirAtti likes, get rid of this unhappiness of being separated from you and will feel blissful.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty sixth pAsuram. In this, she tells him the accessories which are needed for the <em>nOnbu<\/em>. While earlier she had said that nothing is needed, she now seeks <em>kainkaryaparas<\/em> (those who carry out kainkaryam) such as pAnchajanyAzhwAn (divine conch) for carrying out <em>mangaLASAsanam<\/em>, lamp to see his divine face clearly, flag which announces his presence, canopy which provides him shade etc. Our pUrvAchAryas reveal that ANdAL is seeking these so that her <em>krishNAnubhavam<\/em> (experiencing krishNa) would be complete and proper.<\/p>\n<p><em>mAlE maNivaNNA mArgazhi nIr AduvAn<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 mElaiyAr seyvanagaL vENduvana kEttiyEl<br \/>\n<\/em><em>gyAlaththai ellAm nadunga muralvana<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 pAl anna vaNNaththu un pAnchasanniyamE<br \/>\n<\/em><em>pOlvana sangangaL pOyppAdu udaiyanavE<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 sAlap perum paRaiyE pallANdu isaippArE<br \/>\n<\/em><em>kOla viLakkE kodiyE vidhAnamE<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 Alin ilaiyAy aruL ElOr embAvAy<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Oh one who is affectionate towards your devotees!

If you ask us as to what accessories we need for our bath in the month of mArgazhi, in line with what had been carried out by our elders, we will tell you. We need conches such as the milky white pAnchajanya which can blow resoundingly, making the entire world to tremble. We need percussion instruments which are spacious and big. We need those who will sing <em>thiruppallANdu<\/em>, lamps, flags and canopies.<\/p>\n<p>In the twenty seventh and twenty eights pAsurams she confirms that emperumAn alone is both the means to attain him and the end result [to carry out service to him].<\/p>\n<p>Twenty seventh pAsuram. ANdAL explains emperumAn\u2019s distinguished quality of attracting both the favourable and unfavourable entities towards him. Further, she says that the highest level of <em>purushArtham<\/em> (goal or end result) is the <em>sAyujya mOksham<\/em> (to be with emperumAn) of carrying out kainkaryam to emperumAn continuously, without ever separating from him.<\/p>\n<p><em>kUdArai vellum sIrk kOvindhA undhannaip<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 pAdip paRai koNdu yAm peRu sammAnam<br \/>\n<\/em><em>nAdu pugazhum parisinAl nanRAga<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 sUdagamE thOL vaLaiyE thOdE sevippUvE<br \/>\n<\/em><em>pAdagamE enRu anaiya pal kalanum yAm aNivOm<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 Adai uduppOm adhan pinnE pAl sORu<br \/>\n<\/em><em>mUda ney peudhu muzhangai vazhivAra<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 kUdi irundhu kuLirndhu ElOr embAvAy<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Oh gOvindhA who has the auspicious quality of winning over those who do not bow down! The further honour that we get after praising you and getting the kainkaryams is to wear various ornaments such as bracelet, armlet, ear stud, other ear ornaments, anklets etc which nappinnaip pirAtti and you don on us. We will wear the clothes which you drape on us. After that, we should together eat the ghee covered <em>akkAravadisil<\/em> (sweet prepared with rice, milk, sugar and ghee) and the excess ghee overflowing our elbow.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty eighth pAsuram. In this, ANdAL explains the causeless connection between emperumAn and all the AthmAs, her inability to engage with any [other] means, greatness of emperumAn, his quality of uplifting everyone (having <em>adhvEsham<\/em> (non-hatred) as the reason, just like the cows of vrindhAvan) without expecting anything in return.<\/p>\n<p><em>kaRavaigaL pin senRu kAnam sErndhu uNbOm<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 aRivu onRum illAdha Aykkulaththu undhannaip<br \/>\n<\/em><em>piRavi peRundhanaip puNNiyam yAm udaiyOm<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 kuRai onRum illAdha gOvindhA un thannOdu<br \/>\n<\/em><em>uRavEl namakku ingu ozhikka ozhiyAdhu<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 aRiyAdha piLLagaLOm anbinAl undhannaich<br \/>\n<\/em><em>chiRu pEr azhaiththanavum sIRi aruLAdhE<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 iRaivA nI thArAy paRai ElOr embAvAy<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Oh gOvindhA who has no fault whatsoever!

The relation that we have with you cannot be severed either by you or by us. Do not get angry with us since we have called you by insignificant names due to our affection, and bless us by giving the end result that we are seeking.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty ninth pAsuram. Here, she reveals an important principle: carrying out <em>kainkaryam <\/em>is not for our happiness, but it is only for his happiness. Further, she says that due to her deep desire for <em>krishNAnubhavam<\/em>, she started observing this <em>nOnbu<\/em> merely as a pretext.<\/p>\n<p><em>siRRam siRu kAlE vandhu unnaich chEviththu un<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 poRRAmarai adiyE pORRum poruL kELAy<br \/>\n<\/em><em>peRRam mEyththu uNNum kulaththil piRandhu nI<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 kuRREval engaLaik koLLAmal pOgAdhu<br \/>\n<\/em><em>iRRaip paRai koLvAn anRu kAN gOvindhA<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 eRRaikkum EzhEzh piRavikkum undhannOdu<br \/>\n<\/em><em>uRROmE AvOm unakkE nAm At seyvOm<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 maRRai nam kAmangaL mARRu ElOr embAvAy<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Oh gOvindhA! You should hear the result of our coming here early in the morning, bowing down and reciting <em>mangaASAanam<\/em> to your most desirable, golden, lotus-like divine feet. You, who had been born in the clan of cow-herds, who graze their cows and eat, should not remain without accepting confidential <em>kainkaryam<\/em> from us. We did not come here to receive the percussion instrument, drum, from you. We should have a connection with you for time unlimited, irrespective of the number of times that we take birth. We should carry out <em>kainkaryam<\/em> only to you. When we carry out such <em>kainkaryam<\/em> you should remove the thought from us that it is for our happiness. You should mercifully grace us such that the <em>kainkaryam<\/em> is only to make you happy.<\/p>\n<p>Thirtieth pAsuram: Since emperumAn tells her that he will fulfil her desires, she rids herself of the emotions of the cowherd girl and sings this pAsuram as her own self, ANdAL. She affirms that whoever sings these pAsurams will attain the same kainkaryam which she did, even if they do not have the same purity of heart that she had. In other words, the cow-herd girls who lived during the time of kaNNa in vrindhAvan and had deep affection for him, ANdAL who had the same mental make-up in SrIvillipuththUr as the cow-herd girls and anyone else who learns and sings these pAsurams, will attain the same benefit. [parAsara] bhattar [son of kUraththAzhwAn, one of rAmAnuja\u2019s principal disciples] would mercifully say \u201cJust as the cow yields milk even after seeing the [dead] calf which is stuffed with hay, if anyone sings these pAsurams which are dear to emperumAn, (s)he will get the same benefit which those who are dear to emperumAn get\u201d. ANdAL completes the prabandham by narrating the incident of emperumAn churning the milky ocean. This is because, the cow-herd girls desired to attain emperumAn. To attain emperumAn, the <em>purushakAram<\/em> of pirAtti is needed. emperumAn churned the ocean only to\u00a0 bring pirAtti out of the ocean and to marry her. Hence ANdAL too narrates this incident and brings the prabandham to its end. ANdAL is one who is firmly in the state of <em>AchAryAbhimAnam<\/em> (dear to AchArya). Thus, she completes the prabandham by showing that she is <em>bhattarpirAn kOdhai<\/em> (daughter of periyAzhwAr, bhattarpirAn).<\/p>\n<p><em>vangak kadal kadaindha mAdhavanai kEsavanai<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 thingaL thiru mugaththuch chEzhiyAr senRiRainji<br \/>\n<\/em><em>angap paRai koNda ARRai aNi pudhuvaip<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 paingamalath thaN theriyal bhattarpirAn kOdhai sonna<br \/>\n<\/em><em>sangath thamizhmAlai muppadhum thappAmE<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 ingu ipparisu uraippAr IriraNdu mAl varaith thOL<br \/>\n<\/em><em>sengaN thirumugaththuch chelvath thirumAlAl<br \/>\n<\/em><em>\u00a0 engum thiruvaruL peRRu inbuRuvar embAvAy<\/em><\/p>\n<p>kESavan (emperumAn), the supreme entity, churned the milky ocean. Cow-herd girls, with beautiful faces like moon and with distinguished ornaments, went, worshipped that emperumAn and got benefit in <em>thiruvAyppAdi<\/em> (SrI gOkulam). ANdAL, the daughter of periyAzhwAr who has garland with cool, lotus flowers, and who incarnated in beautiful SrIvillipuththUr, mercifully narrated that history [of cow-herd girls getting benefit from emperumAn]. These thirty pAsurams are to be sung in large gatherings. Those who sing these thirty pAsurams, without missing anything, in this way, in this world, will get the grace of emperumAn who has divine shoulders like huge mountains, has a divine face with reddish divine eyes [reddish eyes denote affection towards devotees] and has wealth. \u00a0Such people will remain blissful in all places.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2020\/04\/thiruppavai-pasurams-21-30-tamil-simple\/\">https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2020\/04\/thiruppavai-pasurams-21-30-tamil-simple\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>adiyEn krishNa rAmAnuja dhAsan<\/p>\n<p>archived in <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\">https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>pramEyam (goal) \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/koyil.org\/\">https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a><br \/>\npramANam (scriptures) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\">http:\/\/granthams.koyil.org<\/a><br \/>\npramAthA (preceptors) \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\">http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org<\/a><br \/>\nSrIvaishNava education\/kids portal \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/pillai.koyil.org\/\">http:\/\/pillai.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImath varavaramunayE nama: thiruppAvai &lt;&lt; pAsurams 16 to 20 nappinaip pirAtti joins the group of ANdAL saying \u201cI am one among you in enjoying emperumAn\u201d Twenty first pAsuram.
