The phrase "veLLai viLisangin pEraravam kEttilaiyO" is to be taken as key in this pasuram.
The divyadesam of Thiruvanvandur was sung only by Nammazhvar in Thiruvaymozhi 6-1, "vaigal pUngkazhivAy". This decad is about Parankusa Nayaki sending birds as messengers to the Lord who resides in Thiruvanvandur. In pasuram 6-1-9, Azhvar calls out to the swans as "alarmEl asaiyum annangAL" and gives them a description of Thiruvanvandur as follows: "vidivai sangkolikkum thiruvaNvaNdUr". That is, he tells the birds to identify this divyadesam through the sound of the conches.
The sound of the conch is the sound of praNavam. Pranavam is made of akAram, ukAram and makAram. In Thiruvaymozhi 6-1, Azhvar brings in akAram in the pasuram "adigaL kai thozhudhu", ukAram in "uNarththal Udal uNarndhu" and makAram in "minkoL sEr purinUl". Similarly, in this Thiruppavai pasuram, Andal brings in akAram, ukAram and makAram through "ari enRa pEraravam", "uLLam pugundhu" and "munivargaLum".
The relationship between the two pasurams is not just in the letters but also in the meanings.
Thus, the divyadesam of Thiruvanvandur is sung by Andal in this pasuram.
