I dont think this has been included in the ramanuna-message-digest.Hence, forwarding a copy for your information RECITATION:thiru-mAlai 45 " iLaiya pun kavidhaiElum empirArkiniyavARE". swAmi periya vAchAn piLLai :" iLaiya pun kavidhai- sabtathil ilamaiyum, kavithvathil kuRRam vuNdEyAgilum-ilasAi, pulliya kaviyE Agilum;empirArku iniyavARE: empirAnukku inidhAi irukkumiRE; prajaigaLudiya mazhalaich chol thamappanArukku inidhAi irukkumiRE.ivvugaputhAnE purushArtham. ivan sathai peRugai Avadhu -avan prEthikku kaithodum engai.ip-prabhandham kaRRArku palam sollAdhozhindhadhu-ivvugapputhAnE avargaLukku palam AgaiyAlE; ivAzhwArai vugandhArpOlE ipprabhandham kaRRAraiyum periya perumAL vugandharuLum engai." Though, the psalm by thondar-adip-podi AzhwAr is not strong in poetic sense or otherwise the Lord will enjoy it. How? Like a father enjoying the mazhalaich-chol of His child. This enjoyment of the Lord is what we are aiming for. Is it not kainkaryam which we are aiming for? True, but even that kainkaryam is for His enjoyment. Why did thondar adip-podi AzhwAr did not tell any palam for this prabhandham? Since, the Lord enjoys this prabhandham, this enjoyment itslef is the end result of this prabhandham. That may be true for thondar-adip-podi-AzhwAr -the author of this prabhandham, but for us?Even for people like us, who have learnt this prabhandham, the Lord enjoys and blesses, is the essence of this.vAnamAmalai padmanAbhan --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
