I have a question for the group. Today morning I was reading tthe Perumal Thirumozhi. In pasuram 5, Kulasekhara perumal sings: \bt iNaiyillA innisai yAzhkezhumi thumburuvum n^Arathanum iRainchi yEththa thuNaiyillAth thenmaRain^ool thOththiraththAl thonmalarkkaN ayanvaNangi yOvAthEththa \et In line 3 he mentions thenmaRain^ool and goes on to say that brahma sings it uninterruptedly! What we now understand as thenmaRai n^ool is the 4000 divyaprabhandham which includes periya thirumozhi. What was he referring to, then? I am ignorant about the relative periods of Kulasekharar and Nammazhwar. Is he referring to thiruvay mozhi? or that of the muthal azhwargal? Thanks for any insight. Raghu
