It is well known that the vEdhA-s returned
after failing to find the real nature of the Lord -nAn-maRaigaL thEADi enRum kANa mATTAch selvan- are the
words of thirumangai AzhwAr--yathO vAchA nivarthAthEa.
Having failed so, the sages who were
submerged in the Lord's auspicious qualities, were despondent that the number of
qualities of the sriman nArAyaNA easily outnumbered and outpaced descriptions
and narrations. The vEdhAs or other related works could not keep pace to the
auspicious qualities of em-perumAn.
This was the status till the birth of the
magnum-opus -the divine work of swami nam-AzhwAr -the
thiru-voi-mozhi-bhagawadh vishayam.
Till then, these munivar-s-some were
talking about His quality of rescuing -rakshagathvam;some were extolling
His saulabyam;some were commending His other such qualities. However, in
aggegate this was only a fraction of the real truth. Therefore, these sages were
desiring for more and more such devotees and works to describe the nature of the
Lord.
At last, the great divine saint swAmi
nam-AzhwAr blessed by the Lord Himself who surreptiously entered into his mind
-nErmaiyAl nenjam vanjithup pugundhu-
made this great work possible in the classical divine tamil --en-nenjathuL irundhu ingu irum-thamizh nUl ivai mozhindhu
10-6-4; -is the confession by AzhwAr himself in the
What happened later is history. These
saints who were submerged in em-perumAn's kalyANa guNangaL attained immense
happiness, unmeasurable mirth,and invaluable indeed was their joy that they were
able to cherish all the kalyANa guNangaL of the Lord.
This fact is categorically spelt out in
the Edu vyAkyAnam for the
"thiru-voi-mozhi
avatharitha pinbu, avanukku guNa vibUdhigaL pOrAdhu enRu irundha izhavu
thErndhu-athAl niradhisayAnandhigaLAga.."
After the origin of thiru-voi-mozhi, these
good sages became immensely happy as their regret that there was not a work
comprehensively covering the Lord's qaualities, was removed-and that is
nan-munivar inbam thalai-siRappa.
"eNNAdhanagaL eNNum nan
munivar inbam thalai siRappa"10-7-5;
Countless qualities restricted by the
limitations of experiece were their regrets in pre-thiruvoizhmozhi
days.
In the post thiruvoizmozhi days -however,
they longed for more and more auspicious qualities as now the experience
outnumbered-the narration outnumbered , the description outnumbered the
qualities. They desired for more such qualties and their minds asked
