Despite not having a formal Guru, Sri PeriyAzhvAr successfully established the paratva (the supreme principle) of SRIMAN NARAYANA, in a debate of learned scholars invited by the pANDya king. With God’s grace he cited pramANas (proofs) from vEdas and vEdAntas. I salute VishNuchittan (periyAzhvAr), who is the father-in-law of Lord RanganAtha, the Lord of nityasooris and dEvas, the one who married AzhvAr's daughter, AnDAl, and who is known as the beacon light of the brAhmaNa kula.
PERIYAZHVAR TANIYAN - 2
BY SRI PANDYA BHATTAR .

Dear Mind! We have worn on our head the lotus feet of bhAgavatas, who uttered the name "SrivilliputtUr", the divya desam surrounded by luminous buildings. We joyously remember today that PeriyAzhvAr removed the doubts in the mind of people by establishing the supremacy of Shreeman NArAyaNa and caused the bag of gold to fall down in his favour. We are indebted to Him for this great favor which destructs of our sins.
The pAnDya king felicitated PeriyAzhvAr with the title "bhaTTar pirAn" in a ceremony and was taken in a procession, seated on an elephant, with the sounds of drum beats and blowing of conch. We seek refuge in periyAzhvAr who won the prize for establishing the paratvam of Shreeman NArAyaNa by citing pramANas from vEdas in the assembly of great scholars.

| PERIYAZHVAR'S PALLANDU |
1.1 PeriyAzhvAr is honored by PANDYA king vallabhadEvan and taken along the streets of Madurai. Lord ViShNu appears in GaruDa vAhanam in a resplendent, beautiful form in front of AzhvAr. In a rhapsodic mood, AzhvAr immediately sings 'PALLANDU' to protect the Lord and keep all evil eyes away from the Lord for ever. Hence, this prabandham is called as TirupallANDu or MangaLAshAsana Prabandham.
mallANDa tiN tOL maNivaNNA!* un-
sEvaDi sevvi tirukkAppu. (1)
PeriyAzhvAr sings: Long live dear Lord (pallANDu pallANDu)! Long live for many thousand years to come! (pal Ayirattu ANDu). May you be praised for many crores of years to come, and for ever and ever (palakODi noor Ayiram). Oh gem colored one (maNi vaNNA), the one who conquered the strong enemies with His mighty shoulders! (mallANDa tin tOL), May your divine, reddish feet be protected for ever (un sEvaDi sevvi tirukkAppu).
Key words: pal - many, ANDu - years, mal ANDA - mallars/ wrestlers like muShtikA and chanoora were conquuered by KrishNa, tiN tOL - the Lord has thousand shoulders (sahasrapAt), tiru kAppu - protection with undiminishing fame ( (1)

We have been servants of Lord nArAyANa for seven generations, and several generations before. We have come to join your bhAgavata gOShThi to sing "pallANDu, pallAyirattANDu' for the Lord who took the form of “Narasimha” during sandhyAkalam and destroyed “HiraNyan" on the auspicious asterism of tiruvONam. This will indeed destroy all our age old sins (pandanai).

3. my grandfather (tandai),

We have branded our shoulders with the stamp of the blazing, resplendent, red, bright, rounded, sacred chakkaram (disc), the symbol of the VishNu temple, thereby surrendering ourselves as dAsans. We have assembled ourselves in unison to serve the Lord as kainkaryaparas for generations. We shall sing “pallANDu” to Lord KrishNa who is adorned by the spiraling chakra with which He chopped off the well-armed and deceptive bANAsura's thousand arms, causing blood to gush out profusely.

We, Your devotees, shall wear the peetAmbaram robe (peetaka ADai) worn and cast off by you. We shall eat the remnants of food lying in the vessel that was offered to you, as our bhagavat prasAdam. We shall be devotees who wear the tulasi and flower garlands (nirmAlyam) worn and cast off by you. We are ever ready to follow your instructions and undertake your work in all directions, to the best of our ability, on this beautiful tiruvONam day. (the day of shravaNa which is the birth star of Lord Narayana). We will for ever serve you singing "pallANDu", Oh Lord sleeping on the multi-hooded serpent AdishEsha who has reclined (paDutta) to provide a comfortable couch for you.

Now kaivalyArthis who gave up their 'AtmAnubhavam" and turned bhAgavatas, take oath and sing pallANDu along with periyAzhvAr.
On this special day (ennAL) when we have surrendered ourselves as your servants and no one else, on the same day, all our extended families have also been blessed to attain liberation. Oh Lord KrishNa who incarnated on the auspicious day (nannAL) having the combination of Rohini star and ashTami tithi, who broke the bow in kamsa's dhanur yAga in MathurA, and danced on the five hooded kAlinga snake! We sing your praises, "pallANDu".
Key words: ennAL - the most auspicious day when a devotee does panchasamskAram, learns the ashTAkshara mantra, and becomes a prapanna, a servant of Lord VishNu, un tanakku aDiyOm - servant of Lord VishNu alone, aDi kuDil veeDu peRRu uyndadu - It is said that when one family surrenders to God, all his dependents and associates will also get liberated and become His servants, tORRi - incarnated, tirumadurai - mathurA, silai - bow, kunittu - broke, uyndadu - uplifted, liberated.

13 BEAUTY OF KANNAN FROM FEET TO HEAD - pAdAdi kesha varNanai
In these ten verses, AzhvAr enjoys KaNNan from the tip of the toe to the head. Recollecting what YasOdhA had said to the cowherd women those days, here AzhvAr, taking a role of a mother, describes her enjoyment of KuTTi KaNNan.
23. Devaki, who is sweet as nectar from the ocean (amudam), gave the child to YashOdA having long hair braided with flowers. Oh friends having mouth like the coral! Come and see this innocent child (pEdai kuzhandai) holding His little lotus feet and enjoying the act of sucking it. (1)
25. Oh, pretty ladies! Come and see the small pair of ankles adorned with glittering silver anklets that lay standstill on this cute little boy, as He suckles from his mother YashOdA Aycchi having shoulders like bamboo. (3)
26. YashOdA lost all the collected fragrant ghee pots, one by one. Upset terribly due to KuTTi KaNNan’s act, she attempted to beat Him with the curd churner (mattu). KaNNan pretended to get scared, slowly kneeled and crawled away. Oh, beautiful ladies! Come and see His beautiful knees. (4)
27. Oh, dear ladies with beautiful bosoms! Come and see His thighs on which He tore open the chest of HiraNyan/HiraNyakashipu then. He is the same one who was lying on the thighs of the demon pootanA after sucking her poison-smeared breast along with her life. (5)
29. Oh, bright fore-headed ladies! The tusks of the large trunk elephant (kuvalayApeeDam) were broken and plucked by kaNNan when Kamsa sent it to kill the supreme Lord, Paraman. Now look at the waist band along with pearl, corals tied on it. (7)
32. He got tied on a huge sized mortar (உரல்) and stood standstill. Then, He went crawling between the two maruda trees to befall them in the ground and free them (Nalakubara & Manigreeva). Look at His glittering, bright SRIVATSA STHALAM, where “KurumAmaNi” is worn. Look at the chest, Oh, ladies wearing ornaments! (10)
33. As a four to five months old baby, He lifted His small foot and kicked shakaTAsura to death. Drinking the milk from the curvy gory-teethed pootanA, He drank her life too. Come and see His shoulders. Oh, ladies with curly hair! (11)

PERIYAZHVAR TIRUMOZHI - 1.8
PASURAMS 86 TO 96

| TALAR NADAI PARUVAM |
1.8 TALARNADAI PARUVAM -Toddler KaNNan - YashOdA is eagerly waiting to see KaNNan walk with his small steps.
86. Just like an elephant walking slowly while its leg chains make the sound "salAr-pilAr”; the golden bells hanging on both sides of it’s body ringing; and it’s 3 temples of its head oozing ichor {matha punal sOra}, will not my child with the shArnga bow (sArngapANi), His kingkiNI anklets ringing like a drum, begin to walk with small steps? Will he not toddle? taLar naDai naDavAnO? (1)
87. The teeth in my Kannan’s smiling red mouth resembles the moon in the red sky. He wears a waist chain made of shells {akku vaDam} and a neck amulet chain with a tortoise talisman {Amai tAli}. Won't the sapphire colored KaNNan, the child of Vasudeva sleeping on the AdishEshan begin to toddle? taLar naDai naDavAnO? (2)
88. His golden waist band shines like lightning, His hair is decorated with a white moon like ornament resembling the peepal leaf {arasu ilai}, His dark cloud-like neck is adorned with the bright golden kArai {necklace} that shines like lightning. But KaNNan, RishikEShan is himself more resplendent than all these. Won’t he toddle? taLar naDai naDavAnO? (3)
89. When KaNNan laughs with the sound “gaNa gaNa", it sounds like sugarcane juice pouring through the hole of a pot. He delights his parents as he comes and kisses them with his sweet nectar-like mouth. Oh, My dear cloud-colored child, {mugil vaNNan}, who has Lakshmi on His chest {tiru mArban}! Won’t he toddle on his enemies’ heads and conquer them? taLar naDai naDavAnO? (4)
90. Little KaNNan crawls swiftly behind his elder brother BaladEva who is praised by the whole world. He looks like a dark baby mountain running swiftly behind a large silver mountain. Won't the little child crawling behind his famous brother toddle? taLar naDai naDavAnO? (5)
91. KaNNan has on one foot the sign of a shankh and on another foot the sign of a chakra and so wherever He walks, the foot-prints of the shankh and chakra are seen on the ground. Seeing this gives me joy again and again. Won’t the dark ocean-colored one, the father of KAma, toddle? taLar naDai naDavAnO? Pratyumna is the incanation of kAmadEva and first-born to Rukmini and KriShNa. (6)
92. KaNNan tries to stand slowly, as the drools from his red lotus mouth continually drip slowly like small cool drops of nectar from a blossomed lotus. The bells that decorate Him, ring “gaNa gaNa” like the bells tied on the neck of a strong bull. Won’t He with his shArngam bow toddle on his soft feet? taLar naDai naDavAnO? (7)
93. He toddles as his shining waist chain made of shells sway like a white waterfall dropping on a black hill. Oh VAsudeva, the gem of a child whom the world has never seen, Won’t He toddle now? taLar naDai naDavAnO? (8)
94. Trivikraman plays in the sand, throwing mud on himself like a dark elephant calf throwing white dirt on his body. Won’t he toddle on the cool soft flower-covered earth without hurting his small feet that are like freshly blooming lotuses as his body sweats with small drops of water? Won’t He toddle? taLar naDai naDavAnO? (9)
95. When Keshavan’s moon like face shines with beautiful eyes, His chuTTi ornament glitters and swings like the shadow of the moon in rippling water. Even when he relieves himself, the little drops of water are more powerful than the drops of water splashing from the lofty Ganges. Won’t He toddle? taLar naDai naDavAnO? (10)
96. The famous poet Vishnuchittan of the vEyar clan (vEdiyar kulam) has written 10 verses about MAyan, MaNivaNNan born in the cowherd clan {Ayar kulam}. He has beautifully explained how He toddled, giving joy to his mother at one end and making his enemies tremble at the other end. Devotees who recite and master these pAsurams of VishNuchittan will beget children who worship the feet of the dark jewel-like mAya KaNNan.(11)
PERIYAZHVAR TIRUMOZHI 1.9
PASURAMS 97 TO 107
1.9 ANAITTU KOLLA AZHAITTAL - PeriyAzhvAr imagines how YashodA called KaNNan to hug him. achchO! means “Come and embrace me”
98. Your dark curly locks hover around your coral-lips like bumble bees drinking nectar from a lotus. With tender hands that gracefully hold the conch (shankha), discus (chakram), mace(gadha), bow (shArngam) and sword (khaDgam). Come running and embrace me tightly to my full satisfaction! achchO! achchO! (2)
99. O Dark-hued cowherd-Lord! You went as a messenger for the five pANDavas, then waged the great BhArata war. You entered the lake haunted by the venom-spitting serpent kAliya and leapt on his hoods, conquered him and then graced him. Come now and embrace me. achchO! achchO! (3)
100. My Lord, you asked for some sandal paste from a hunch-back woman (kubjA); she readily obliged and smeared it on you. In return you removed her hunch and straightened her back. Oh dear one! Come and embrace me. achchO! achchO! (4)
101. The brilliant, sun-like DuryOdhana sat with kings around him and advised them against getting up when You would come to meet them. But when you actually went to see them in person, he rose from his seat involuntarily, then sat down and tried to cover up with a vindictive look. With your effulgent look, you cast upon him more heat and light than the Sun. O Lord with the chakra in hand! Come and embrace me. achchO! achchO!
suzhalai periduDai duchchOdananai azhala vizhittAnE!
KrishNa approaced DuryOdhana as an emissary of the pANDavas to negotiate peace with him. DuryOdhana did not like his views. As conspired with DuchAdana and Shaguni the previous night, DuryOdhana pressed a button on his throne. The floor beneath KrishNa's chair opened up downwards and krishNa fell into the pit along with the throne. DuchChOdana immediately tried to imprison krishNa as per their plans. But to everyone's astonishment, KrishNa took a virAT roopam as tall as the sky, with many arms wielding different weapons and blinding everyone with his brilliance. He showed this vishwaroopam even to the blind DhritarAshtra. Not only that, He also showed DuryOdhana glimplses of the end of the war and death of kauravas. DuryOdhana was petrified, yet He did not budge. He went for war. (5)
102. Oh Dark cloud-hued Lord! In the battle of mahAbharata, You wanted that pANDava and kaurva army have a equal status to fight. So, inorder to strendthen pANdava's side, You drove the chariot for the victory of garlanded Arjuna and freed the world from the burden of the cruel kings! Oh fierce bull of the cowherd clan! Come and caress me. achchO! achchO!
Akshauhini is a battle formation consisting of a 218700 warriors consisting of 21870 chariots, 21870 elephants, 65610 horses, and 109350 infantry of soldiers. In the battle of mAhAbhArata, the kaurava army had a force of 11 akshauhinis (24,05,700 warriors riding on chariots, horses, elephants and infantry). But , the pANDava army had only 7 akshauhinis (15,30,900 warriors). To make it a battle of equals, KrishNa decided to take the side of the pANDavas who were weaker in army force compared to kauravas. (6)
103. Oh Lord, wielding the conch and discus in your divine hands! In the great sacrifice of the famous MahAbali, You pricked the eye of the asura’s preceptor Shukra with the tip of your pavitram made of darbha grass (turumbu) when he protested and tried to stop the gift of the three strides of land. Come dear, Come and embrace me. achchO! achchO!
turumbAl kiLariya chakkara kaiyanE!
VishNu's chakra takes many forms as per Lord VishNu's wishes. In vAmana avatAram, when ShukrAcharya assumed the form of an insect and entered the spout of the waterpot, the VishNu's chakra is said to have taken the form of darbha grass to prick shukra's eyes. (7)
104. When mahAbali’s son Namushi protested, “What trick is this? My father did not know your mAyA. You must resume your old form as a small boy and measure the land”. You then hurled him into the sky. Oh the one with a radiant crown, Lord of VenkaTam! Come and embrace me. achchO! achchO! (8)
105. When Shiva having matted locks of hair, went begging with brahmA’s skull stuck in his hands crying, “All the seven continents, the seven oceans and seven mountains are not enough to fill the brahma kapAlam, Oh, mugil vaNNA!, the cloud hued lord, Please help!", You were the supreme one who filled his skull and caused it to fall off granting him relief from the brahmahatyA dOSham. Oh Lord with the shreevatsa mark on your chest! Come dear and embrace me. achchO! achchO! (9)
106. When eternal darkness enveloped the world and the four timeless Vedas disappeared, you came in the form of a swan (annam adu AnAne), and retrieved the Vedas and rid the world of darkness! achchO! achchO! (10)
HAMSA AVATARAM
Long ago, in one kalpa, when brahmA was sleeping, the four vEdas in his custody wandered around in the form of four beings (purushas). The powerful demon called 'Somaka" carried them away and hid them under the praLaya waters. Seeing this, Lord VishNu incarnated as a fish, swam into the waters and restored all the four vEdas. He then awoke BrahmA and expounded the knowledge of the vedas to him, taking the form of a king swan (Hamsa). (The four vedas were once upon a time called 'taittireeyam, pauDiyam, talavakAram and sAmam').
