Dear members of the Prapatthi group,

 

I would like to share with you an article written by my father's uncle,

Sri D. Ramaswamy Iyengar. He has formed a stanza by taking the first

word of each of the verses of TiruppAvai and has given an interpretation

to it. I wanted to send this during the month of Margazhi itself, but I

could do so only now. I had been home this weekend and I had the good fortune

of bringing it with me this time. I have tried my best at transliteration, but

I may have made some mistakes. Let me hasten to add that all mistakes

in the trasliteration etc, are entirely due to my ignorance.
