SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama: Dearest All, AzhwAr lamented in the role of Devaki and longed for witnessing the childhood pranks of Kutti KaNNan. His mind immediately begins to enjoy Kutti Rama [the child Rama]. AzhwAr?s ishta devatha is Lord Rama. AzhwAr sings lullaby to Lord Rama [as an infant Boy lying down in the cradle]. We have Sri Kulasekharazhwar devoting ten paasurams in an attempt to get Him to sleep- "Mannu pugazh Kosalai than maNi vayiru AyttavanE..ennudaya innamudE RaghavanE tAlElO". These are in line with Periyazhwar?s maaNikkam katti vairam idai katti- where he makes Kutti KaNNan sleep. A brilliant ten again from AzhwAr. AzhwAr while singing these verses meditates on ThirukkaNNapuram Divya Desa PerumAL.
