Thiruvoimozhi, Nammazhwar

[Guest guest]

Respected Bagavathas,

Pranaams at your feet.

By His divine grace, I finally got the opportunity to read/hear and recite

Thiruvaimozhi.

I have a few questions:

1) Is there a book or a concise vayakyanam in Tamizh for Thiruvoimozhi

(Other than Periavaacchan Pillai's) available or that could be bought in

Chennai?

2) Is there any resource as to how this Thiruvaoimozhi Prabhandham

originated?

3) Did Nammazhwar know in advance that he will sing only 1002 Pasurams in

Thiruvaimozhi?

That question because even in the Uyarvara Uyar nalam first decade he

concludes with

"Ayiratthu Ivai Patthum Veede"

I seek your pardon for my ignorance.
