Dear baaghavathaas,adiyel would like to share a
wonderful part of the upanyaasam of sri. velukkudi
krishnan swamigal,which i heard in our audio caeete
recently,wherein,madura kavi alwar while explaining
the nammalvar prabhavam to us,says that neither lord
krishna nor vyaasa muni can come in par with nammalwar
and added an interesting story related to that.Once
upon a time there was a yogi near the bank of river
taamira varuni, meditating upon lord narayanan to
attain moksham. There was also a dog seen always with
yogi.It crosses the river, every day going into the
town thirukuruhoorand eats the left overs [food
items]in the banana leaves thrown by baagavathaas in
front of their houses.after that it comes back and
sits beside yoghi.This was going on routine. One day
as usual the dog returns from thirukuruhoor crossing
the river,but unfortunately,due to a sudden flood 
the dog drowned in the riverand died.The yogi
,beholder of this scenebecame speechless on seeeing
the dog's aathma jothi travelling fast towards parama
padam.The yogi bursted with great distraught, cries
loudly praying nammalwar that " if you can grant
moksham to a dog because of its kuruhoor
sambandam,what is wrong in showing your grace to a
devil like me."Here the kavi describes nammalwar's
capacity of intoxicating bagavaan by his
paasurams.lord narayanan approves, shows his great
appreciation,exhileration by nodding his head gently
with great joy which is impossible or unimaginable
even for great rishis bytheir penance.Here it goes,"
vaaikkum kuruhai thiru veedhi echilai vaari unda 
naaikkum paramapadam alitthaai,andha nayodu indha
peykkum idamalitthaal pazhutho!Peruman magudam
saaikum vannam kavi solla valla gnana thamizh 
kadale! the story moved me very much.Iam sure all the
baagavathaas will experiance the same.
adiyel ramanuja daasi,
srilatha gunaseelan.
