qualities, is well known. It is observed that wherever Sri PeriyAzhwAr touches

upon this word 'sEr', the auspicous qualities of EmperumAn is again and again

reiterated. Honestly speaking, this is no exaggeration.Absoulte truth. A

few illustrations from his PeriyAzhwAr ThiruMozhi I Even as a child and

describing the birth of Lord KrshNA Sri PeriyAzhwAr identifies the

qualities 'pAyach sErudai paNbudaip pAlakan' 1-1-7; II The Lord has several

qulaities but Sri PeriyAzhwAr finds the attribute of EmperumAn wonderfully

flexible for the sake of devotees as great. This he describes as the quality

adorning EmperumAn. 'sEr-aNindha senkaN mAl mEal senRa sindhai peruvar

thAmEa' 2-3-11; III Talking of the Lord's kalyANa guNam of being going to any

level for the sake of devotees, Lord's KrshNA taking upon Himself the task of

emissary and going as a messenger towards the duryOdhAna-s is indeed

commendable. This is appositely coined as 'sEr onRu dhUthAi dhuriyOdhanan

pakkal..' 2-6-5; IV ThirumAlirumsolai is immediately correlated to

silambARu. PeriyAzhwAr mentions the divine angels take bath in this sacred

river. Well, this river has the

attribute of cleasning the sins and they descend to earth to remove their

problems. and that is . sEr silambARu pAyum thirumAl irumsOlai'4-2-1; V

Well just not appreciating the qualities of the Lord and the sacred river Sri

PeriyAzhwAr even while detracting himself from his forte of ' cherishing Lord

krshNa' does not forget this quality of appreciting quality and while

describing Sri RamAyaNam in ten verses honours ThriuvaDi with this good term

New">'sEr ARum thiRal anuman' 2-10-10 and here sri PeriyA jEyar vyAkyAnam is a

must to be read '..gnAnAdhi guNangaLilEa paripUrNanAi', that is- one who is

complete in the qualities of knowledge and related auspicious qulities. VI

PeriyAzhwAr advises one and all to name their children to that of the Lord's.

In the sum up He names the Lord as a cumulation of good qulaities as 'sEr aNi

mAl thirunamam' 4-6-10; VII It is not that our AzhwAr just talks but proves

it by precedence. Yes, he mentions that the person who is delegated the job of

creation -brahmA and the one who is delegated of destruction rudhRa , eulogise

EmperumAn with words that are dense with auspicious qualities These are the

words that become words of attributes '..nEla kaNDanum, nAnmuganum muRaiyAl

sEr- yEARu vAsagam

seyya ninRa thirumAl' 4-1-5; And so are our PeriyazhwAr words and that is

why it is said 'vuNDoA PeriyAzhwArkku opporuvar?' dAsan vanamamalai
