RAJI SRIDHAR • November 11, 2002 


Pranams 

I have some doubts on Periazhwar Tirumozhi and
Nachiyar Tirumozhi.  I request the bhagavathas to
kindly clarify.

1. In the first pasuram itself, Periazhwar says
"Pallandu Pallandu......." thus does manglasasanam to
Lord to protect Him.(Dhrishti kazhithal?) 

But the same Periazhwar in moondram tirumozhi "padadi
kesa vannam"  calls everyone (vandhu kanneere) to come
and see His beauty from Padam to Kesam one one
beautiful pasuram for each avayam and ask everyone to
come,see and enjoy Him.  

Why this contradictory pasurams? 

2. From the first pasuram onwards Nachiyar expresses
her longing to attain Perumal. After that she asks for
'tirutuzhoi', His 'Choodi kalaindha pushpam,...'

In eleventh tirumozhi, she says 'MachchaNi
madamadiL... iththeruve podare' means if He is
interested in Her why cant He pass through her street.
Her desire is if He passes then she can see Him.  (I
hope i understood the meaning correctly)

Why Andal is waiting for Perumal to come 'tiruveedi
podare' She is the daughter of Periazhwar who does
kaikaryam in the temple. If she wants she can go to
the temple and see her Perumal immediately. No one
will stop her also. I can understand some of the
pasurams of Nammazhwar because He didnt move from the
place(puliya maram) and so his longing to see perumal
was different.  But if Andal wanted she could
immediately visit the temple and her 'thapam'(azhal?)
would not be there.

I request the bhagavathas to kindly explain on this.

pranams once again
