Respected U.Ve Swami Vasudevan:

I have nothing except to say "quite a divine kannan
feast" you served to the subscribers of this group.
Thank you once more and waiting to hear more of
similar comparisons.

Adiyaen 
Nerur S. Rajagopalan.
P.S.
 I presume that some kind of ESP worked. I sent a
reply to your first posting pointing out the pasuram
"oonidai suvar vaithu". Simultaneously you mentioned
this pasuram in this posting.
