SrI : Dear Sri Rajan : This essay was posted with the awareness of the dates ascribed to AzhwArs by modern day scholars (5th to 9th Century C.E). AmudhanAr's date is post-Raamanuja ( 11th to 12th century C.E) . The reference to "ChathvAri Sahasram" and "Rusmaa " attracted my attention among the Rg Veda Manthrams that I quoted . That is very appropriate reference point to take off on a reflective flight . It is indeed a meaningful stretch . You are surely familiar with the reference of Sukha Brahmam in Srimath BhAgavatha slOkam about the future avathArAms of great Jn~Anis(AzhwArs) on the banks of TaamrabharaNi , Cauvery et al.
