Pillai Lokachariar defines nine type of relationship between Jeevatma and Paramatma and links these Nine type relationships to Thirumanthram in his literature " Navavida Samabandham"
Nine type relationships defined by Pillai Lokachariar are as follows.
Bhagavat Ramanuja got the Thirumanthra upadesam from his guru Thirukoshtiyur Nambi after 18 trips to Thirukoshtiyur and each time he made a trip, Nambi gave an advice for transformation. The 18 advices that Nambi gave to Ramanuja are covered in adiddfernt posting ( http://srimannarayana108.blogspot.com/2013/05/ramanujas-18-trips-to-thirukoshtiyur.html).
Ashtaksharam has Eight syllables and is a combination of Pranavam(ॐ/ஓம்/AUM) and Manthrasesham namely Narayanaya
The above Nine type Relationships are linked to Thirumathram as follows
Here is a video presentation of Perumal Thirumozhi (688-697), a Mangalasasanam to Uyyavantha perumal of Thiriththvakode also called Thirumittacode in Shoranur District, Kerala. Here Kulasekara Azhwar announces his steadfastness and undivided attention to Perumal, come What may and even if it turns out that the Lord's grace does not fall on him. He alludes to the nine types of relationships.
