SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:

Dearest all,

Kulasekara AzhwAr has written only one Tamil
composition called PerumAl Thirumozhi comprising 105
verses, roughly divided into ten decades. The other
one is in Sanskrit ?Mukund mala?. 

These tamil verses are divine and very sweet full of
anubhavam and laden and impregnated with bhakti. The
first three decads are devoted more to the glory of
archA moorthy of Srirangam. He specifically expresses
his zeal, craving for having the divine darshan at
Srirangam, the yearning to join and spend the great
time with the company of bhAgwathas at Srirangam. He
declares his madness after God . In the next few
decads, he sings the glory of Thirumala Srinivasan,
the archA moorthy at ThiruvEnkatam and Thillai chithra
kootam and ThiruvitthuvakkOdu, a religious shrine at
Kerala.  

In the last decades, he expresses his mystic
experience of God by enjoying the few episodes from
Srimad Bhagaewatha and Srimad Ramayanam. He has
expressed very beautifully imagining himself in the
role of Devaki as to how she had lost the child leela,
pranks of Kutti KaNNan, and weeps over her plight at
being forced to forsake the joy of being with Kutti
KaNNan and enjoying his mischief. AzhwAr also poses
himself as Yasodha and sings lullaby to Lord Rama
puring out motherly affection towards Rama as a baby.
AzhwAr also pours out as King Dasaratha and laments
over Rama?s exile in the forest. 

In these wonderful divine  verses, the Bhagawath
kainkaryam and BhAgawatha kainkaryam and Bhagawatha
sEshathvam are spelt out explicitly and clearly. 

Swamy Desikan salutes this AzhwAr's prabhandham as
?Nann PoruL sEr Thirumozhi? (the divine utterances
that have deep and auspicious doctrines(meanings)
embedded in them. These uniquely Sri VaishNavA
doctrines are Lord's Parathvam, Prapatti at His sacred
feet, Sesha-Seshi relationship, Bhaktha Paaratantryam
(subservience to BhakthAs), fearlesslness (nirbbhayam)
after SaraNAgathi and others.

The first verse:

iruLiriyas sudarmaNiga Limaikkum neRRi
inaththuththi yaNipaNamaa yiranga Laarntha
aravarasap peruncOthi yanantha Nnennum
aNiviLangu muyarveLLai yaNaiyai mEvi
thiruvarangap perun^agaruL theNNeerp ponni
thiraikkaiyaa ladivarudap paLLi koLLum
karumaNiyaik kOmaLaththaik kaNdu koNdu en
kaNNiNaika LenRukolO kaLikkum naaLE                1.1

In the land of divya desam of Srirangam the darkness
is completely dispelled and shattered by the
resplendent brightness that emanates from the forehead
and the gem stones on the heads of thousand headed
AdhisEshan, the king of snakes, mahaa thEjasvI,
ThiruvananthAzhwAn and on his most beautiful, white,
cool body as the bed, reclines Periya PerumAL Azhagiya
ManavaaLan, the most beautiful divine Lord Sri
Ranganathan the personification of Sowkumaaryam,
Soundharyam and laavaNyam, at whose lotus feet gently
touches the cool crystal clear waters of the river
cauveri as if it washes and worships the Lord?s Lotus
Feet. When will my eyes be blessed to see and enjoy
sEviccufying such Most Beautiful Periya PerumAL? 

It is in similar lines of Swami Ramunja?s anubhavam
when Sri Ramanuja asserts in Gadyatrayam.. mamakula
nAtham, mama kula daivatham.. 

kadhaaham bhagavantam narayanam mama kula natham mama
kula daivatham...sakshaat karavaaNi chaksushaa?..

Sri Ranganathan is Our Kula nAThan; Our Kula dhanam.
Our Kula Deivam.
