Dear Sri Sadagopan,

Do we really know that the Selva Nambi mentioned
by Periyalvar was his acharya? I am reminded of
his own statement "peethaka aadai pirAnAr pirama 
guruvaagi vandhu ennaip payiRRi paNi seydhu koNdAn"
which would suggest that the Lord Himself was 
his acharya. This is supported by the traditional
taniyan, "gurumukham an-adhItya..."
