nambi to sri rAmAnujA.

Secrets:

thiru-mangai AzhwAr mentions --angu oru nAzhigai yEAzhudan iruppa
How can we consider this as seven secrets
? Sri periya-vAchAn piLLai
"yEzharthathai-p-paRRa yEAzhu kAlam
engiRadhiREA"
Sri thoNdai mannavan was a devotee
of thiru-vENkatamudiayAn and the Lord used to pierce the veil of archA and Grace
him with His conversation.
Once, The Almighty gave sermon of
thirumandhiram which contained these secrets.
This is what is revealed in this
thiru-mozhi:
"thuLangu nEn-mudi arasar
tham kurisil, thoNDai mannavan thiN thiRal oruvarkku,
vulan koL anbinODu inn-aruL surandhu, angodu nAzhigai yEAzhudan
