SrI:

Dear Sriman Narayanan :

Many Thanks for your kind mail .

Thanks very much for initiating a series of postings on
the similarities between Thirumangai Mannan's and
Swamy NammAzhwAr's Paasurams . Thirumangai AzhwAr
absolutely revered Swamy NammAzhwAr and started
the Adhyayana ( ThiruvAimozhi ThiruvizhA ) uthsavam by bringing
Swamy NammAzhwAr's archA Moorthy to Srirangam . That
traditon going back to 1000 plus years continues even now.

Swamy NammAzhwAr ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam ,
V.Sadagopan
