SrI: Dear BhakthAs: I am forwarding anote from SrIman Bhattathiry . ThirukkuraL is considered by many as a VaishNava grantham in the sense that the many doctrines of VaishNavam are echoed there. ParimElazhagar's commentary is especailly recommended to appreciate these ters Verses ( KuraL or Soothram like). There is a series of postings on SrI nrusimha PriyA Tamil version by a vaishNavite Scholar on ThirukkuraL as a VaishNava grantham in selected chapters. The references cited by SrI Bhattathiry might be of interst to you.Thank you SrIman Bhattathiry.
