Dear Sri.Satakopan mama and Sri.Madhavakkannan:
Pranams!
The postings by you are very much enjoyable with the way you
have narrated.
I remember about the Anubavam of Nammaazhwar on Tirukkurungudi
Nambi when talking about his Tirumeni.
eNGNGanEyO annai meergaaL!
ennai munivadhunNeer?,
nangaLkOlath thiruk kuRungudi
nambiyai naaNnkandapin,
sanginOdum nEmi yOdum
thaamaraik kaNgaLodum,
senganivaa yonRi Nnodum
selginRa thennNenchamE.
The pasurams on Nambi are really a Great ANUBAVAM of Azhwar
that he enjoys perumal to the highest degree.
Thanks very much for valuable postings,
Sri Ramanuja Dasan,
Ramanan
