The numerical magic
1-2-3-4-5-6-7

To talk and write coherently is not simple.

Even if one talks, to talk and write with good content is difficult.

Even if this is possible, to make this into a psalm and poem is still complex.

To create such poems within the paramaters of grammar is complicate.

To put divine words and deeds in these is great.

To add numbers coherently and serially and establish the superemacy of the Lord 
is indeed not a simple but a difficult, complicate, complex -indeed a great, 
divine and Godly task.

This is what I feel whenever I go thorugh the thirumozhi on "sErgAzhi-kAzhich 
sErAma viNNagaram'

It is well known that sri kaliyan is 'nAlu-kavip perumAL'. To enjoy that time 
and again is indeed heartening.

The first pAsuram of the 4th thriumozhi in the 3rd ten dedicated to thAdALan, 
sequentially expresses one to seven, amidst all the constraints mentioned 
above, reiterating  sri thirumangai mannan's poetic prowess, time and again.

The first pAsuram

"1-oru kuRaLai- one little person;
2-iru nilam--- two steps;
3-mUvadi maN- three handful of land;
4-arumaRaiyin thiraL nAngum-- four vEdham-s
5-vEaLvi aindhum- five rituals;
6-angangaL avai ARum- six parts of these vEdham-s and
7-yEAzhisaiyum-- Seven music"

The Lord who came as one little person- measured two divine steps after asking 
for three handful of lands;
He is the Lord thAdALan of kAzhich sErAma viNNagaram. Fall at His divine feet, 
who came to rescue one and all.
This divine place is full of practice of four vEdhAs, five vEaLvi-s; six parts 
-vyAkaraNam etc. and seven swara vEdhAs. Reach this divine place -kAzhich 
sErAma viNNagaram.
