Dear Guna,

I forwarded your question to Sri Bharat of Bangalore,
a great rasika of Divya Prabandham who has studied
many of the pUrvAcArya commentaries at the feet of
Sri E.S. Bhuvarahachariar Swami (ESB). Here is his
reply:

 [ from Sri Bharat  ] 

The "Ezhai Edalan" padigam and its gloss by Sri PVP are like
an ocean full of gems.Wherever you put in a hand you come
up with pearls.

However here are some basic thoughts based on comments
by Sri ESB from time to time.

Sri Tirumangai Azhwar began his outpouring with Tiruvengada-
mudaiyan and here shifted to Sriranganathan.And it is here that
he goes into great detail in detailing the Lord's Qualities or rather
the one basic differentiating Quality which not only explains ALL
His actions but also indicates why He alone is the Lord and not
the other Devatas.It is so basic and natural a quality that just as
Srirangam is simply called Koil and Sri Rama Perumal,it is called
Quality."Guna" Hence is the question "Who is GunavAn ?"
That Guna is SauSIlya- defined as http://ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/
