Dear Sri TCA,
True extremely true sri TCA. In fact I also thought of writing this but since I was writing a different topic, I avoided it. Thanks for narrating the episode. I request you to include this in " A Day in the lIfe of AchArya-s" heading in other groups as well.
 
Thank You

Sri:
srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Dear Sri Padmanabhan Swamin,

adiyEn was reminded of a story about this pasuram when
I saw it.

Amudhanar tried to interpret the line "karavA mada
nAgu than kanRu uLLinAr pOl" as "karavA mada nAgu,
than kanRinai uLLinAr pOl" - that is, like a cow
which has not been milked yet thinking of its calf.
However, this did not go with the next line where
Azhvar refers to him (the calf) calling out to the
Lord (the cow).

When Parasara Bhattar was presented with this pasuram,
he explained it as follows: "karavA mada nAgu than
kanRu, (than thAyai) uLLinAR pOl". That is, the calf
(Azhvar) of the cow which has not been milked yet,
thinking of its mother (the Lord).
