AhcArya Hridhayam 

Having seen the sUthram-wise contents in our earlier postings, let us briefly 
dwell into the synopsis.

God by His mercy, bestowed to us knowledge to discern between good and bad and 
sAsthram-s were given to us.

Understanding the difficulting in determining the ulterior and true essence of 
the vEdha sAsthrangaL, the Lord bequeathed us with the Great thirumandhiram. 
The differences in these two and the devotees who follow each of these,namely 
sAshtram-s and thirumandhiram are spelt out.

Having said this, the greatness of thiru voi mozhi, the greatness of nam 
AzhwAr, the reason for AzhwAr-s such greatness vis-a-vis God's blessings on 
AzhwAr are then explained. 

The effects of the blessings -mayar vaRa mathi nalam- on AzhwAr and 
transformation in the state of AzhwAr from time to time in consonance with the 
state of bhakthi and knowledge-gnAnam-is explained. The pAsuram-s which pour 
out in these states are then explained.

The similarity with other devotees with that of AzhwAr during the state of 
bhakthi is then deliberated.The terms spelt out by AzhwAr during the bhakthi 
state and their ulterior meaning is elucidated. The premise on which bhakthi 
state is formed being dhivya dhEsam is explained with specific relation to The 
Lord's attributes as experienced and sung by nam AzhwAr. These experiences 
ultimately turn out to be the cause-effect for thiru voi mozhi is then 
highlighted.

The contents of this prabhandham is then compared with Sri Bhagwadh GEthA and 
after highlighting the similarities and greatness of thiru voi mozhi is 
established.
