SriRAma Jayam,
SrimatE RAMAnujAya nama:

Dear Krishna,

             I made a statement explicitly saying that "off-handedly
(without referring to the text)" in those two AzhwAr's pasuram,we 
recognize "praLaya". If I'm right(my tamizh has become weak due to 
lack of touch)amalan means world and adipirAn means the 
First/Beginning Cause/God. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong. 
Kulashekhara Azhwar says in mannu pugazh
"pundarIka malar adan mEl bhuvani ellam padaiththavanE....RAghavanE
tAlElO". What does this mean? HE creates the worlds/universes not 
that they co-exist with Him. Nammazhwar says in Ozhilvil kAlamellAm
(Koil Tiruvoimozhi 3:3:5)that HE is the Prime God. These are the 
pasurams I chant daily,so I said "off-handedly". All I meant was 
AzhwArs had said that it is HE who creates the Universe.
