Trivia for today:

1. The highlight of today will be ArAmudhe(sweetness that will never bore you). The very next word nammazhwar is apparently able to utter is 'adiyen' , by looking at the imposing beauty of the Lord of Kudanthai. The last 2 pasurams were the one that provided the sweetest clue regarding the chain of thousand pasurams to Srimad Nathamuni. 

2. No poet nor 'author' would dare declare right at the beginning and in all pasurams to sing a thousand - other than Nammazhwar and with his blessing Swami Desikan for his Paduka sahasram which has nammazhwar as its subject, and that provided the vital clue to Thiruvaymozhi.

3. Thiruviruttham, the essence of RigVeda primarily has Nammazhwar as Prankusanayaki woefully addressing Devadirajan about how distasteful the body and life is and want for mokshanandam.4. Swami Desikan in his prabhandam today defends and argues strongly against all other forms of worship for those desiring moksham.
