thiru voi mozhi nURRandhAdhi

Apart from the subject matter which emanates from the poet, the poet has to 
conform his creation to the grammar. This in itself is a great thing.

However, periya jEyar had the following conditions while creating 
thiru-voi-mozhi nURRandhAdhi

1. It has to begin with the first syllable of the ten pAsuram-s.
2.It has to contain the essence of these ten pAsuram-s
3.The last word has to be the last word of the ten or say 11 pAsuram-s 
Incidentally, since thiru voi mozhi is also thiru andhAdhi, this also becomes 
thiru vandhAdhi.
4. It has to talk about the great author of thiru voi mozhi namely swAmi nam 
AzhwAr.


Can this be man made? Definitely such type of creative works are God-blessed.

thiru voi mozhi nURRandhAdhi pasuram 1 thus represents the first ten of thiru 
voi mozhi, pasuram 2 the second ten pAsuram-s and so on till the final pAdhigam 
-muniyEA .

The first pAsuram of thiru voi mozhi nURRandhAdhi is:
"vuyarvE paran padiyai vuLLadhellAm thAn kaNdu,
vuyar vEdham nEAr koNdu vuRaithu,
mayaRvEdhum vArAmal mAnidarai vAzhvikkum mARan sol,
vErAgavE viLaiyum vEdu"

How the above conditions are fulfilled.
1. The pAsruam starts with the word "vuyarvE" which is also the first word of 
the first ten pAsuram-s of thiruvoizhmozhi being
"vuyarvaRa" thiru voi mozhi 1-1-1 
2.The meaning of this thiru voi mozhi nURRandhAdhip pAsuram clearly explains 
that the Lord is being seen in the light of the scriptures and that He is 
omnipresent, He is full of auspicious qualities, He is the supreme being, He is 
explained as per the scriptures - vuLan sudar migu surudhiyuL-1-1-7 of thiru 
voi mozhi

3. The pAsruam ends with the word "vEdu" which the last word of the first 
eleven pAsuram-s and first word of the second eleven pAsuram-s namely 
-:"vEdumin muRRavum" 2-1-1 of thiru voi mozhi.

4. The words in the fourth line "mAnidarai vAzhvikkum mARan sol" praises swAmi 
nam AzhwAr.
