NammAzhwAr was completely covered under a huge assembly of >TuLasi

leaves awaiting the granting of His Saayujya MOksham from NamperumAL

.. > >The shifting Moods of Swamy  NammAzhwAr in His four Prabhandhams

>***************************************************************************************

>The First Prabhandham of  Swamy NammAzhwAr is Thiruviruttam . It is

linked >traditionally to the essence of the prayers of  Rg Vedam. His

mood is that of >Para Bhakthi . The Paasurams connect to the PraNavam

and " Namas " >sabdham of AshtAksharam . The Mukhya Vishayam of

Thiruviruttham is >Swamy  NammAzhwAr's statement to the Lord that

SamsAra Dukkham >is unbearable .There are 100 Paasurams in thsi

Prabhandham . > >In the second Prabhandham of ThiruvAsiriyam , which

is considered as >the essence of Yajur Vedam , SaThakOpar's mood

shifts to Para Jn~Anam. >The link is to the NaarAyaNa sabdham of

AshtAksharam . The quintessence >(Mukhya Vishayam ) of this

Prabhandham is about the aanandhAnubhavam >due to the Prathyaksham of

the Lord and singing about that anubhavam >in a raptourous state.

There are 7 paasurams in the second prabhandham. > >In the third

prabhandham , Periya ThiruvandhAthi , the links are to the mood of

>Parama Bhakthi and GeethAchAryan's Charama SlOkam . The Mukhya

Vishayam >here is Swamy  NammAzhwAr's expression of His insatiable

desire to unite with >the Lord . This is  considered a condensation

of AtharvaNa Vedam.There are 87 >Paasurams in this third Prabhandham.

> >The Fourth Prabhandham is ThiruvAimozhi , the essence of Saama

Vedam. >The mood is that of PrApthi (attainment of the desired boon

and arrival at >SrI Vaikuntam for Nithya Kaimkaryam and ParipoorNa

BrahmAnandham) . >The rahasyam linked to this Prabhandham is  Dhvayam

(Dheerga SaraNAgathy). >In the mood of joining the Lord , Swamy

Desikan experinces alternatively >VislEsham ( seperation form the

Lord ) and SamslEsham ( union with the Lord). >Finally , AzhwAr is

granted Saayujya Moksham ( ThiruvAimozhi: 10.10 ). >There are 1102

Paasurams in the final prabahandham of Swamy  NammAzhwAr. >
