Details presented in this post:

 

1. Prabhandam- pAsuram 4 & 5

2. Pearls from the poems

 

SS-4

 

sArvAi SaTAri sadirAga nAnmaRaiyai *

kArvaNNan seerellAm kaNDukoNDu – pArvAi *

malarndaruLich cheidAr madurakavi pORRum *

alarndamalar tALiNaiyE AaRu.

 

NammAzhvAr's elegant poems, the tamizh maRai, is a spontaneous

outpouring of ecstatic enjoyment of brahmAnubhavam. His disciple,

madurakavi AzhvAr documented his involvement with AzhvAr in kaNNinuN

siRuttAmbu, which is the outpouring of nammAzhvAr-guNAnubhavam.

Those sacred feet which madurakavi AzhvAr adored are the only upAyam

for us.

 

SS-5

 

AaRum SaTakOpan * AaLum aDaikkalamum

pERum SaTakOpan * pEraruLAl – nARum *

vakuLat tamizhmozhindu vaikuNTam tanda *

akilat talaivan araN.

 

Apart from that upAyam, nammAzhvAr himself is the upEyam also. With

his sweet words filled with the fragrance of magizham flower and his

gift in the form of prapatti , he showed the way to paramapadam. So,

AzhvAr is our leader and rakshakan.

 

Pearls from the poems:

* AzhvAr's tiruppAdam is the upAyam for our liberation.

* AzhvAr himself is the upEyam as he laid the path for vaikuNTam.
