Seventh CheyyuL : Introduction

************************************

In this verse , KambhanAttAzhwAr points out that SaThakOpar prepared the nectar of poetry for KaNNan .That entered the ear of the nilattEvar ( AastikAs of the world) , stayed in their minds and was experienced as the delectable sweet by their tongues .

 

AzhwAr sang ThiruvAimozhi for KaNNan to listen and enjoy. He wanted KaNNan's ears to experience that delectable food that He had prepared .The poet says that this most enjoyable samarpaNam , which has the power to attract KaNNan , will also remain firmly in the minds of Jn~Ana Visishta AastikAs.

 

"mikka vEdhiyar vEdattin utporuL niRkap-pAdi yenn nenjuL niRuttinAn " says Madhura Kavi AzhwAr in this context . SaThakOpan sang about the deep and subtle tattvams dealt by the VedAs that resulted in retaining those upadEsams firmly in Madhurakavi AzhwAr's mind .
