Dear friends, Please forgive me my ignorance. I am not thoroughly versed in the 4000 and was always under the impression that the Azhwars had somehow "ignored" Lord Varadan. Thanks to Sri.Mani and Sri.Dileepan I am now wiser. They have pointed out to me the relevant "pAsuram-s" of BhutathAzhwar, Tirumangai and Pey. I am extremely grateful to them. I will be doubly indebted if they could also please e-mail me an English translation/paraphrase of the same. I am still however nonplussed over why our saint 'tirumazhisai' -- one-time full-time resident of Kanchi -- never sang on "atthigiri-arullalar" !! Also why "Azhwar's" as a group have given such short shrift to Lord Varada! adiyEn, sudarshan
