Dear Bhagavatotamas, It is a great and welcome effort to give the meanings of the MM's master piece - URM. It was moving to note the greatness of Perialwar. MM has submitted 5 pasurams in praise of Perialwar and tiruppallandu. It is said that in the first thousand starting from tiruppallandu to amalanadipiran - the prabandhams give the meaning of OM - pranavam. Kanninunsiruthambu gives the meaning of Namaha - the middle word in tirumandiram. The rest of the prabandhams give the meaning of Narayanaya the last word in tirumandiram. As OM is recited at the beginning and end of veda, so is tiruppalandu at the beginning and end of dravida veda. (It would be interesting to note that in Melkote , the seva kalam starts with kanninunsiruthambu instead of tiruppalandu). Tiruppallandu is Prapya pradhana - mangalasasana as prapyam (mainly talks about what we achieve of attain) and so is tirumandiram - prapya pradhana. Namaha is the middle word - Sri Bhattar says "mantra brahmani madhyamena namasa..." . The inner meaning of namaha is bhagavata seshatva and paratantryam which is the same in kanninunsirutambu. The rest talk about narayanaya - almost the last prabandham (madal)gives it as "narayana O! manivanna naganayay" MM has strangely praised both nammalwar and perialwar as unequalled. "Undo satakoparkopporuvar" and "undo perialwarkkopporuvar". We can only say they both are "equal" in their "unequalled excellence".
