Meaning: Thus, the Supreme Lord, the Consort of SrI, has done a series of favours to us in the absence of any plea from us; purely out of His helping nature and perhaps due to the eternal relationship that exists with us. This resulted in the development of a desire for liberation that leads to the ultimate aim of rendering divine service to the Lord unrestricted either by place or time. Being such one, SrI NammAzhvAr who has been blessed with the j~nAna-bhakti faculty by the Lord of the blemish-less eternal devotees, begins to submit his plea for further favours, in the first verse of his work, Thiruviruttham, the first of his four compositions, which are but out-flow of his own experience. This he does keeping in mind the favours done by the Lord earlier. The first verse is: âpoinninRa j~nAnamum pollA ozhukkum azhukkudambum inninRa neermai iniyAmuRAmai uyiraLippAn enninRa yOniyumAi piRanthAi! imaiyOr thalaivA! meininRu kEttaruLAi adiyEn ceyyum viNNappamE.â (To continue) dAsan Anbil S.SrInivAsan ------- DELETE button is history.
