After having seen the attributes of the archAvathAra emperumAn in

dhivya-dhEsam-s adorned by AzhwAr, the following questions are addressed?

 

1. When did AzhwAr became so deeply involved in these dhivya dhEsam-s?

 

2. What was the age when AzhwAr commenced this prabhandham?

 

3.What is the nature/sweetness of this prabhandham?

 

 

The answers to the above questions are :

 

1. AzhwAr's deep involvement in the dhivya-dhEsam-s blossomed even before a

person becomes mature - paruvam nirambuvadhaRku munnEa. This is also referred

from thiruvirutham pAsuram -60 " mualaiyO muzhu muRRum pOndhilE " .- She is not yet

fully grown up as a maiden.

this is to enunciate the fact that AzhwAr intense intimacy with the LOrd

commenced very early from the childhood.

 

2.AzhwAr started this prabhandham at the age of 16 which is likened to a 16 day

full moon.

 

3. There is a saying that proof of eating is in the pudding. Accordingly the

sweetness of AzhwAr's prabhandham can be determined from the fact who are all

enjoying this prabhandham.

 

a. " pAlEi thamizhar, isaikArar, bakthar parvaum Ayiram " thiru voi mozhi 1-5-11;

' thUmudhal bhakthaRku thAn thannaich chonna " thiru voi mozhi 7-9-3

Both the above verses indicating the sweetness to the souls of this world.

 

b. 'kEttu ArAr vAnavargaL chevikkiniya senjollE " thiru voi mozhi

10-6-3,pointing to the fact that the nithya sUringaL/ souls in the world above

are enjoying this prabhandham ceaselessly.

c. " en nAvil in kavi " thiru voi mozhi 3-9-1 mentioning that the prabhandham

originating from the AzhwAr is sweet for AzhwAr also;

d. 'pAr paravu inkavi pAdum paramarE' thiru voi mozhi 7-9-5 reflecting that

the whole universe is reverberating with the enjoyment of AzhwAr's prabhandham;

 

Thus the content and the words are so mixed like amudham mixed with milk- pAlOdu

amudham kalandhAR pOle- emanated from AzhwAr.
