Digest Number 470

[Guest guest]

To support the contention contained in the message we shold consider the

Nammalwar's saying "engane sollilum inbam payakkume.' The literal meaning of

the words are

Engane -- In whatever manner

Sollilum -- recited

Inbam -- pleasure, here pleasure to Lord

Payakkume --will result.

The meaning is even if we recite the pasurams of Alwards with

imperfection and in coarse sound Lord is pleased to hear the wosrds of

Alwars. Thie is because Alwars are jnanies and janies are dear to Lord.
