Dear Sri Venkatesan,
 
A small correction
<<Quote
Bhattar replied "Do you not know grammar? Does the
pasuram say 'ANalladhu peNNalladhu allA aliyum
alladhu'?
>> 
It should be "Anallan peNNallal allA aliyum alladhu"

Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Once when Bhattar was explaing the Thiruvaymozhi
pasuram "ANallan peNNallan allA aliyumallan" (2-5-10),
a scholar interjected asking "If the Lord is neither
a man, nor a woman, nor a napumsaka, then does that
not mean that He is devoid of qualities?"

Bhattar replied "Do you not know grammar? Does the
pasuram say 'ANalladhu peNNalladhu allA aliyum
alladhu'? Only then can you say that He is devoid of
qualities. Since it uses the word "allan" every time,
it means that He is not a male or female or napumsaka
of this world. It clearly shows that He is different
from everything and that He is purushOttama".

Azhvar Emberumanar Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Sharanam
