Dearest all

 

On this PoigAzhwAr's thirunakshatram day (today- aippasi thiruvONam), Let us pay

our respects and prostrate at the feet of this Adhi kavi, the first among the 12

AzhwArs.

 

Thanian (a dedication verse) on PoigaiAzhwAr:

 

Kaidai sEr poopozhil soozh kacchi nagar vandhudhittha/

poigai pirAn kavignar pEr yERu-vaiyatthu/

adiyArgaL vAzha arum thamizh nooRRandhAdhi/

pAdi viLanga seydhAn parindhu/

 

Very true! How excellently composed on this great first among equals.

 

Meaning: Poigai AzhwAr was born in the (poompozhil) garden city of

kacchi(kAnchipuram). He composed the 100 pAsurams in andhAdhi style, with

utmost concern and mercy/compassion to save the earth (and thereby us, the

earthly beings) and to take us to the Lord's Lotus feet. (Then, what's the

worry?-cheer up!)
