| This Azhvaar won a cache gold coins by showing to the
pAndiyan king that the supreme Lord revealed in the
vEdhaas is Lord Vishnu. Entire Madurai came out
celebrating this event. It is said that the Lord and
Lakshmi appeared in their Garuda vaahanam in the sky
over Madurai. Upon seeing this remarkable sight the
Azhvaar started singing the now famous pallaaNdu,
pallaaNdu, pallaayiratthaaNdu, .. which is the very
first paasuram of the 4000 dhivya prabhandam, as
ordered by sriman naadhamuni. His adopted daughter,
ANdaaL is much revered in her own right. As described
below, ANdaaL married the Lord and thus gave
Periaazhvaar the status of father-in-law to the Lord!
