The importance of Braille
 
The braille is devised and dedicated exclusively for blind souls.  Having said this, one should understand that people with vision need not use braille.For blind braille is the only refuge.  If blind are expected to act up like those having vision, then it will be futile.
 
This what is meant by sri thirumangai mannan when he says:
 
"aDiyOmukkEA emperumAn allEROA nEr! indhaLUrErEA"
 
The LOrd is the cause and effect of all things. However, He manifests Himself into five forms. The parathvam helps the nithya-sUrigaL. The vyUham the brahmAdhigaL. The vibhavam -dhasarathAdhigaL.
 
The archAvathAram in the vugandharuLina nilangaL is meant exclusively for sam-sArigaL, who are ignorant.
 
Can the Lord expect behaviour of exalted souls from them? Then why should not the thiru-indhaLUr Lord give His divine vision is the query raised by sri kaliyan.
 
sri periyavAchAn piLLai's commentary is apt in this regard.
 
"kurudarkku vaitha iRaiyiliyilEA, vizhithArkku prApthi illaiyiREA:' pinnAnAr vaNangum sOdhi' ennak kaDavadhiREA"
 
The place meant for blind are not for people with vision. the ArchAvathAram is itself termed as "pinnAnAr vaNangum sOdhi"
 
Therefore, Oh! Lord of thiru-indhaLUr please bless me with Your divine vision. Are You not the Lord here meant only for samsArigaL like us?, is the plea by thirumangai AzhwAr.
 
"aDiyOmukkEa em-perumAn allEROA nEr! indhaLUrErEA"
