Thanian/verse praising Peria azwaar .

Gurumuga manatheethya brahveda  naseshaan,

narapathi pari klupdham sulka madhadhu kamaha :

svasura mamaravanthyum ranganathasya saakshaath,

tvijakula thilakum VishnuChithum namami..............................By Nathamuni.

I bow to Periyazhwar who keenly contested the debate organisesd by the king Vallabha Devan[Pandian king] and won the prize that consisted of a bag of gold coins.

He had no formal education in Vedas yet he could recite and quote from the Vedas owing to the blessings of Sriman Narayana.

He is fit to receive obscience from Devas .He is the father- in- law of Sri Ranganathar.He is a tilak to the Brahmin clan.


Per anindhu Villiputhur Ani thanil ,

perum jothi thanil thondrum Perumane'

mun seer annindhu Pandiyan thun nrnju thanil ;

thiyakku ara maal para thathuvathai thiramai cheppi,

varanum mel Madurai valum varave vaanil,

Maal Garudavaganai thondra vaazhthu.

meranni Pallandu mudal pattu naanutruyezhupathu ondru irandum yennakku udhavu!.........  .....              By Swamy Desikan.

Periya aazhwaar !You took birth in the famous town of Sri Villiputhur in the month of Aani in the reign of the star Swathy.

Once upon a time[in 8 th CE] you cleared the doubts of the Pandiyan king that assailed him regarding the true nature of the Supreme Brahman and you emphatically proved and established that the Supreme being is Sriman Narayana ans none other.

When you were taken around the city of Madurai on the back of the royal elephant amid great celeberations all around,Narayana along with His consort Lakshmi appeared in His Garuda vahana in the skies to have a eyeful of these joyous celeberations.

At that time you praised Sriman Narayana with the verses beginning with Pallandu....and continued to expound 473 pasurums .

Kindly help me to learn and memorise these pasurums .
