ACHARYA HRDHAYAM-187


TEXT: " ivaRRil prAvaNyam ivaL paramE enne vuNdAi, shOdasa kalA pUrNamAna 
chandramaNdalam pOlE, padhinARu thiru-nakshathiram nirambinavARE, dheva 
bhOgyamAna adhil amrudham pOlE, anRikkEA, ennAth thamizhar isaikArar, 
mudhaRpathar
vAnavar ennammAn pAr paravu ennumpadi sesvara vibhUdhi bhOgyamAna pAlodu 
amudhanna men mozhi muganj seidhadhu"

After having seen the attributes of the archAvathAra emperumAn in 
dhivya-dhEsam-s adorned by AzhwAr, the following questions are addressed?

1. When did AzhwAr became so deeply involved in these dhivya dhEsam-s?

2. What was the age when AzhwAr commenced this prabhandham?

3.What is the nature/sweetness of this prabhandham?


The answers to the above questions are :

1. AzhwAr's deep involvement in the dhivya-dhEsam-s blossomed even before a 
person becomes mature - paruvam nirambuvadhaRku munnEa. This is also referred 
from thiruvirutham pAsuram -60 "mualaiyO muzhu muRRum pOndhilE".- She is not 
yet fully grown up as a maiden.
this is to enunciate the fact that AzhwAr intense intimacy with the LOrd 
commenced very early from the childhood.

2.AzhwAr started this prabhandham at the age of 16 which is likened to a 16 day 
full moon. 

3. There is a saying that proof of eating is in the pudding. Accordingly the 
sweetness of AzhwAr's prabhandham can be determined from the fact who are all 
enjoying this prabhandham.

a. "pAlEi thamizhar, isaikArar, bakthar parvaum Ayiram" thiru voi mozhi 1-5-11; 
' thUmudhal bhakthaRku thAn thannaich chonna" thiru voi mozhi 7-9-3 
Both the above verses indicating the sweetness to the souls of this world.

b. 'kEttu ArAr vAnavargaL chevikkiniya senjollE" thiru voi mozhi 
10-6-3,pointing to the fact that the nithya sUringaL/ souls in the world above 
are enjoying this prabhandham ceaselessly.
c. " en nAvil in kavi" thiru voi mozhi 3-9-1 mentioning that the prabhandham 
originating from the AzhwAr is sweet for AzhwAr also;
d. 'pAr paravu inkavi pAdum paramarE' thiru voi mozhi 7-9-5 reflecting that the 
whole universe is reverberating with the enjoyment of AzhwAr's prabhandham;

Thus the content and the words are so mixed like amudham mixed with milk- 
pAlOdu amudham kalandhAR pOle- emanated from AzhwAr.
