AchArya Hrdhaym 188

"nEr pAl nei amudhAi nirambina Eri neLikkumAp pOE, parabhakthiyAdhimaya 
jgyAnAmrudha apdhinimigiRa vAikarai midaindhu, mozhippattu avAvil andhAdhi enRu 
pEAre peRRadhu"

The next question raised is whether this prabhandam was a planned and 
premeditated one? What was the evolution or the actual origin of this 
prabhandham?

This is likened to a lake of water becoming milk getting transformed into ghee 
and becoming amrudham overflowing from the lake. Likewise, for AzhwAr the 
bhakthi which springs from karmA and gnAnam, became parama-bhakthi (due to 
Lord's blessing-mayaRvara mathi nalam aruLinan) which becomes para-gnAnam and 
parama-bhakthi.The actual knowledge regarding the God, the deep devotion 
towards the Lord are like a lake of amrudham which starts overflowing with 
words approaching AzhwAr for a place in the prabhandham and the spate of words, 
spate of poetry, spateof psalms, culminating into avAvil andhAdhi.

Thus it is explained that the prabhandham was not a pre-conceived project but 
an emotional outburst blessed by the LOrd.
