Dear Bhagavatas,

namaskaar. thanks to sri narayanan for sharing his anubhavam of a rahasya grantham like "mumukshu padi" with all of us. 

According to sri narayanan, Sri pillai lokachar says that Piratti w.r.t jivas, is like a caring mother to her baby in cradle and w.r.t. perumal She is a bhogya vastu (object of enjoyment) in His bed.exactly the same thing was quoted by Sri ramanujacharya swami when adiyen asked him about the role of divine mother.

The author of thirumalai ozhugu says that Piratti for Lord of thiruvengadam (kausalyA suprajA rAman) is just like Her mother-in-law kausalyA is for King dasaratha. i will try to write on this later.

Justlike perumal is known by shadguNas i.e. ananta jnAnam, ananta balam etc., piratti is also known for Her shadgunas. these shadgunas tell us Her relationship with our appan thiruvenkatadrisan. let us see what are these shadgunas in my next post.
