thiru voi mozhi nURRandhAdhi

 

Apart from the subject matter which emanates from the poet, the poet has to

conform his creation to the grammar. This in itself is a great thing.

 

However, periya jEyar had the following conditions while creating

thiru-voi-mozhi nURRandhAdhi

 

1. It has to begin with the first syllable of the ten pAsuram-s.

2.It has to contain the essence of these ten pAsuram-s

3.The last word has to be the last word of the ten or say 11 pAsuram-s

Incidentally, since thiru voi mozhi is also thiru andhAdhi, this also becomes

thiru vandhAdhi.

4. It has to talk about the great author of thiru voi mozhi namely swAmi nam

AzhwAr.

 

 

Can this be man made? Definitely such type of creative works are God-blessed.

voi mozhi, pasuram 2 the second ten pAsuram-s and so on till the final pAdhigam
