sri: sri mathe ramanujaya namah: dear vaidhehi, This is narashiman from NJ. i think i can answer one of your many questions. The ubadesarathina maalai itself is the garland of good thoughts and teachings which are equivalent to the gem "rathinam" which is the most precious of all the gems. This is told in the taniyan itself"munam thiruvaimozhipillai thaam ubadesitta ner thannin padiyai....". Desikan means aacharyan . this is the most straight meaning anyone can find. Here swamy manavaalamaamunigal addresses Swami thiruvaimozhipillai alias malaiazhwar and swami pillailokacharyar for their ubadesams and srivachanabhooshanam respectively in the songs. You can note in ubadesarathinamaalai that no other azhwar or acharyar including ramanuja himself has got 7 songs except swamy pillailokacharya for his srivahcanabhooshanam. The next azhwar to get more songs is periyazhwar for his mangalasasana vaibhavam and "pongum parivu". I think this mail makes the doubts clear. Azhwar emberumanaar jeeyar thiruvadigale charanam.
