mARanil mikkum Ore dhEvum vuLadhEA!

On the day of svAmi Nam AzvAr thriunakshathiram- vaikAsi visAgam-learned 
devotees write of him in high praise of him.

AdiyEan desired to talk about him not about his pAsuram-s nor of his life 
hisotry or preachings but
quote a pAsuram from ThriuvAimozhi commending about svAmi Nam-AzvAr himself.

Now is this possible? one may wonder. AzvAr praises Sriman NArAyaNa and nobody 
else and if any such praise showered on oneself will only result in self 
praise? is it not?

Well. It is Sriman NArAyaNA the Lord  for him. Agreed. For us, Should it not be 
Sri Nam-AzvAr?

One of the pAsuram-s of thriuvAimzohi sung by satakhOpan exalts EmperumAn and 
declares that is there any other Lord other than Him.

The same pAsuram read on a different angle talks high of AzvAr himself. Indeed 
this is great and we should accept this in toto as if EmperumAn who has crept 
into AzvAr's heart has spelt out these words.

This is from thiruvAimozhi 2-2-3 pAsuram and the final lines are

"mAl thanil mikkumOre dhEvum vuLadhEa'

However, on the joining of the first two words the 'l' in the 'mAl' becomes 'R' 
and becomes

'mARanil mikkum Ore dhEvum vuLadhEa'

This words 'mAl thanil ' can be noted in the text of PuthUr svAmi of aruLich 
cheyal

the words mARAnil can be obeserved in the text given in the vyAkyAnam of PuthUr 
svAmi.

The point here is this is an incidental pun - not intended by AzvAr but perhaps 
inteneded by EmepurmAn Himself.

As Sri Madhura Kavi points out 
Is there any other Lord for us other than the one blessed by EmperumAn-Sri 
Nam-AzvAr-dhEvu mathARiyEan

and that is here right from the thriuvAimozhi-p pAsuram

mARanil mikkum Ore dhEvum vuLadhEa!
