Dear SrEvaishNavites,
That Kaliyan emphaises on bhAgavathA worship is well understood. The efficacy of bhAgavatha shEshathvam is beind discussid by SumithrAjE.

mOvadha pAvangal sEra? One thing we all have in common is a big bag of sins accumulated over the various births we have taken in this world. ?mAri mAri pala pirappum pirandhu? A tamil proverb says, ?madiyillE ganam erundhAl vazhiyilE bayam? If we are traveling from one place to another with something precious with us surely we have the fear of carrying the object safely without any thief stealing it or we ourself loosing it. Similarly we are all now carrying a bag of sins it is nothing precious but it is sure to show its true colours. We are sure to face a lot of hurdles in our life due to the effect of our poorva karmas and at the end of this life, we are sure to face the punishment specified in the sastras for the various bad deeds. So when such a great tragedy is awaiting us will our minds be free and calm. It will always be wandering and hence we cannot concentrate our minds at any one point peacefully. But these bhagavatas
forget all these worries and they are deeply immersed in the divine qualities of
the lord. They enjoy the eye-filled
darshan of emperuman and fill their hearts with deep love and devotion towards
him. They are not worried about the
sins they have committed, the effects or the final result. They are ready to have a ride over the
heads of yama (the god of death) and his Servants. Even if we are unable to be so confident
like those bhagavatas, even if we lack the ultimate faith still a single thought
about these bhagavatas is capable of getting us rid of all our sins and the
after effects. Both the nithya
sooris and those in this world worship Emperuman. He is ubhaya vibhooti nAthan. What is not possible for him? These
bhagavatas are capable of locking emperuman in their hearts. So aren?t they having a step higher than
emperuman? So surely their thought
will uplift us. That is what
kaliyan conveys in his Eighth paasuram of his kanSora venkuruthi
padhigam. ?kaNNAra kandurugi
