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.
