SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama:
Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy Swami Nammazhwar's glories. 
Thanks to Oppiliappan Koil Sri Satakopan Swami to
supplement with his appreciation and information:

Swami NammazhwAr?s own writings reveal that Swami is
blessed the blissful divine spiritual jnAnam. In the
very first verse of Thiruvaaymozhi, he starts off with
?mayarvaRa mathinalam aruLinan?, blessed by God with
the jnAnam leading to intense love and bhakti for Him.
He quotes Ramayana, Mahabharatha, Bhagavatham, Puranas
etc., in addition to the Upanishadic statements (in
disguise). He has made adequate references to
Upanishad thoughts, Puranic incidents etc.. Obviously
he is blessed by the God with the jnAnam as he has
been in Yoga since childhood. He is verily the
incarnate of Vishvaksenar. 
SrI Satakopan Swami had written few years ago this on
Nammazhwar:[Let us enjoy here]

Swamy Desikan , which  pays tribute to our Prapanna
Jana SanthAna Kootasthar, Swamy SatakOpa NammAzhwAr :

munnuraittha thiuviruttha nooRu paattu
  muRayinvarum aasiriya-mEzhu pattu
manniya naRR poruttpperiya ThiruvandhAthi
  maRavAthapadi yeNpatthEzhu paattum
pinnuraitthathOr ThiruvAimozhi yeppOthum
  pizhaiaRavA-aayirtthoru nooRRirandu paattum
innalatthil VaikAsi VisAkam tannil
 Yezhirkkuruhai varumAru irangu neeyE

---Prabhandha Saaram Of Swamy Desikan : Paasuram 6

As seen earlier in this series: NammAzhwAr composed
the following:
1.Thiruviruttam as the essence of Rg vEdA (100 verses)
2.ThiruvAsiriyam as the essence of yajur vEdA (seven
verses)
3.Periya ThiruvandhAdhi as the essence of atharvaNa
vEdA (87 verses)
4.ThiruvAimozhi as the essence of sAma vEdA (1192
verses)

Swamy Desikan says in the above verse: 
Swami Sri NammAzhwAr! MaaRaa! You were born in in this
beautiful world at the great temple town of
Thirukkuruhai during VaikAsi VisAkam as Maaran
SatakOpan. Please bless adiyEn to recite without any
mistakes the first prabhandham of Yours known as
Thiruviruttham with its hundred paasurams.
 
Please bless adiyEn also to recite the next
prabhandham of yours known as ThiruvAsiriyam with its
seven paasurams; afterwards, please bless adiyEn to
recite without error your third brilliant prabhandham
with its 87 passurams filled with the essence of
anubhavams and thereafter, please bless adiyEn to have
the bhAgyam of reciting without any mistakes Your most
divine and greatest ThiruvAimozhi with its 1102
paasurams.

The four key groups of words qualifying Sri
SatakOpan's four aruLiccheyalkaLs here are:

(1) MUNNURAITTHA Thiruviruttham: Among the four 
Prabhandhams of Swamy NammAzhwAr , Thiruviruttham is 
the first one.Therefore , Swamy Desikan , who is 
the Master of choice of the right words describes 
this Prabhnadham as "MUNN-URAITTHA"( Mudal mudhalAha
aruLiya). In this Prabhandham , Sri SatakOpan uses His
Jn~Ana Chakshus ( divine eye) to see the Lord in Sri
Vaikuntam and appealed to Him to free him form the
afflictions of debilitating SamsAram . The other
reason for our Kavi Simham (Swami Desikan )to Use the
word , "MUNN-URAITTHA " is to indicate that the first
enemy for Bhagavath- anubhavam is prakruthi
Sambhandham and therefore, Sri SatakOpan requested
first the removal of the association with Prakruthi.
The Lord according to Swamy Desikan obliged with Sri
SatakOpan's request. 

(2) The second Prabhandam of Sri SatakOpan is
ThiruvAsiriyam. Swami Desikan's  revealing key words 
here are : " MURAYIN VARUM ". This means accordingly.
Sri SatakOpan prayed for relief in the first
prabhandham from samsAram. The Lord listened and
blessed Sri SatakOpan to enjoy His anantha kalyAna
GuNam and aparimitha Soundharyam in this prakruthi
maNDalam ( Leela VibhUthi) itself. Sri SatakOpan
enjoyed them and "accordingly " described his
experience in ThiruvAsiriyam.

(3) The third Prabhandham of NammAzhwAr is 
Periya-ThiruvandhAthi. Here Sri SatakOpan states that 
the enjoyment of the Lord in " the muRayin varum " 
manner only increased his desire to enjoy Him more. 
The Lord became insatiable nectar ( aparyAptha-
AarAvamudhan). The key words qualifying this 
prabhandham are "MANNIYA NARR PROUL".( containing 
the essence of tattvams-SaarArtham ).Swamy NammazhwAr 
hinted at the great thirst that samsAris could have 
for Bhagavath anubhavam through the choice of 
words: "MANNYA NALL PORUL".

(4) ThiruvAimozhi is the magnum opus of Sri SatakOpan
, which describes the paripUrNa Bhagavath anubhavam
that he enjoyed and the attainment of Moksha
Siddhi. The boon of Mukthi and nithya kaimkaryam
at Parama Padham is referred to here by the key word ,
"PINNURAITTHA OR PINN URAITTHA". Pinn means stated
below or the one after this or that. Latter meaning is
applicable here. Sri SatakOpan's experience in
attaining Moksha anugraham after going thru every
state of experience and finally attaining 
Moksham is described here . hence the word,
"Pinn+uraittha "  is used. This is quite the opposite
of "Munn+Uraitha" in Thiruviruttham , where the prayer
was for the removal of prakruthi sambhandham .

Swamy Desikan prayed thus to Sri SatakOpan to bless
him with the boon of reciting and understanding always
his four prabhndhams without any mistakes ( yeppOthum
pizhai aRa nee irangu).
