PoigaiAzhwAr Thirunakshthram

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Dearest bhAgavathALs,

 

On this PoigAzhwAr's thirunakshatram day, Let us pay our respects and

prostrate at the feet of this Adhi kavi, the first among the 12 AzhwArs.

Thanian (a dedication verse) on PoigaiAzhwAr:

 

Kaidai sEr poopozhil soozh kacchi nagar vandhudhittha/

poigai pirAn kavignar pEr yERu-vaiyatthu/

adiyArgaL vAzha arum thamizh nooRRandhAdhi/

pAdi viLanga seydhAn parindhu/

 

Very true! How excellently composed on this great first among equals.

 

Meaning: Poigai AzhwAr was born in the (poompozhil) garden city of

kacchi(kAnchipuram). He composed the 100 pAsurams in andhAdhi style, with

utmost concern and mercy/compassion to save the earth (and thereby us, the

earthly beings) and to take us to the Lord's Lotus feet. (Then, what's the

worry?-cheer up!)
