VeLLiyai vizhi paRitthu kutthikkiLari, Maavaliyai maNNum ViNN ulahum paRittha kuRal Vedattu = our Lord took the VaamanAvatAram( dwarf form) and sought as dhAnam three steps of land from Bali Chakravarthi at His yajn~am . The asura guru , SukrAcchar advised Bali not to go thru that deeding since He recognized the Dwarf was none other than Maha VishNu in that guise to retrieve the Iswaryam lost by the dEvAs in their fight with the asuraa king . Bali would not accept the recommendation of his AchAryan and began to pour water from his Kamandalu to seal the gift . At that time , SukrAcchar took the form of a beetle and blocked the flow of water by getting inside the KamanDalu . Vaaman Moorthy used the sharp end of dharbhai from His pavitram to poke and stir the eye of SukrAcchAr , who was blocking the flow of water from Emperor Bali's KamaNdalu . SukrAcchAr lost one of his eyes and stayed away from blocking the dhAnam of three steps of land by Bali Chakravarthi . VeLLi is Sukran . Vizhi paRitthu means the taking away of the eye. From Bali , the Lord took away the earth and the sky , when He grew gigantic to measure the earth and the sky with two steps and placed His third step on the head of Bali and sent him to the nether world to rule forever from there .
( KuraL vEdatthu Ummai) vazhi paRitthu mantiram koNDu anbar tangaL val vinayai paRitta PirAn VaNN mai paada= Oh Ranganatha , who took Vamana avatAram ! At ThirumaNamkollai , Thirumangai held you up and removed all of your AbahraNams that you wore as a newly wed One and in turn was blessed direct mantrOpadEsam from You. Benefiting from that Moola Mantra upadEsam , Thirumangai composed Periya Thirumozhi , ThirukkurumtANDakam , ThirunedumtANadakam, ThiruvEzhukURRirukkai , Siriya Thirumadal and Periya Thirumadal . Those Paasurams remove both Paapam and PuNyam ( two kinds of Vinais) and make one ready for Moksha anugraham . Oh RanganAtha! Your bhagavatAs are singing those powerful Paasurams of Thirumangai AzhwAr as You enjoy Your Unjal utsavam .
Suzhi paRittha Gangai mudi adiyil tOya thozhutu irakkum mukkaNan , naanmuhanai seyta pazhi ozhittAr = With the swirling waters of Ganga in His Matted locks ( JaDai) , Lord Sivan prostrated before Your sacred feet deeply and begged You to remove the Brahma hatti dhOsham that he acquired from the plucking of one of the five heads of His Father , Brahma Devan . Out of Your kaaruNyam , You destroyed that dhOsham and freed Sivan from the skull that got stuck to His palm by giving Him the appropriate Bikshai .
(MukkaNan pazhi paRitta ) PaLLikoNDa ThiruvarangA ! AadirUsal = Oh Lord who reclines on AdhisEsaha at Tiruvarangam ! Please enjoy Your Unjal utsavam !

AchArya RaamAnuja fulfilled the three wishes of Swamy AlavantAr at the time of His dEha viyOham and released His three bent fingers . PiLLai PerumAL Iyengar salutes therefore AchArya RaamAnuja as dear to Swamy AlavantAr ( AlavantArkkanbAm EmperumAnAr). Periya Nampi was the direct disciple of

Swamy AlavantAr and principal AchAryan of Sri RaamAnuja thru the initiation of the three rahsyams ( AshtAksharam/Yettum , IraNDum/Dhvayam and idham/charama slOkam uraitta Periya Nampi).

(Comments): Idhamuraitta Periya Nambi means the Periya Nampi , who revealed the esoterics of AdhyAtma saastrams to Sri RaamAnujA . Iyal stands for Iyarppa and Tamizh Vedam ; “Sruti paada” means the Veda PaarAyaNa Ghoshti that follows the Lord . NaanmuhanAr Taathai relates to the Lord , who initiated His son , Brahma Devan in to the Four VedAs and their meanings as Sri Hayagrivan and as Swan at times before creation and when His son lost the Srutis due to neglect .

The BhaagavatAs assembled in the court of Lord Ranganatha sang about the victory of AchArya RaamAnuja over the Para Mata Vaadhins ( disputants from other Matams) .

The insects inside the conch shell raised harmonious sound as they climbed out of the banks of Cauvery river at Srirangam and crawled on the streets of Srirangam to reach the temple of Lord RanganAtha ( NamperumAL) to deposit their pearls there. May SriranganAthan enjoy His Unjal Utsavam ! May the grnadfather of the Digambaran (NakkapirAn) enjoy His Unjal upachArams !

(Comments): The First two lines of this Paayiram celebrate the Vaibhavam of AchArya RaamAnuja , who was uninfluenced by the pushpa bhANams( arrows) of Manmatan and stayed as a Viraktar and defeated the tenets of advaita darSanam , spread the doctrines of Sri VisishtAdhvaitam all over and planted the Jaya Stampam at Srirangam . PiLLai PerumAL IyengAr refers to the BhaagavatAs singing of the Vaibhavam of the victorious RaamAnujA before Lord RanganAtha enjoying His Unjal utsavam .

This resulted in the King to be afflicted with worms in his neck . To that king's court went Sri KooratthAzhwAn to protect his AchAryan and roundly rejected the king's command to agree and sign that Sivan was superior to Sriman NaarAyaNan . The King wanted KurattAzhwAn to sign

“ SivAth Parataram nAsti” ( There is no god , who is superior to Siva). Kuresar made a pun out of the word “siva” meaning KuruNi ( a measure of volume) and wrote “DhrOnam asti tata: Param “ ( Yes, there is Padakku/dhrONam , which is larger than “Siva/KuRuNi ). The enraged king ordered his servants to pull the eyes of KurESar and the devout sishyA of AchArya RaamAnuja plucked out His own eyes . That grave apachAram on the part of the king resulted in the king dying a miserable death . PiLLai PerumAL IyengAr pays tribute to the greatness of KurEsar who lost His darsanam ( sight) to protect the darSanam ( philosophy) of VisishtAdhvaitam

and says that the BhaagavatAls were singing the Pancha Stavams of KurEsa before Lord RanganAtha during the Unjal Festival .
