Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:

"angu 'nampirAn' enRu thodangi mudivil 'apriyam' enRadhu; 
ingu 'paramE' enRu izhindhu 'poliga' enRu ugandhadhu" - AH 192

Beginning(thodakkam)-End(mudivu):

In Sri Gita,Arjuna requests BhagavAn: "I am your disciple(siShya) and 
You have to direct me(as to what I should do) who have taken refuge 
in You". So the Lord starts the Gita with love and concern for the 
grief stricken Arjuna. But when the Lord was about to finsh His 
GithOpadhEsha,sees Arjuna disinterested in the upadhEsha and ends the 
Gita with the disappointment saying:"hey Arjuna,you are wicked 
mineded and you show no interest in My upadhEsha and hence is not 
going to fetch you the desired phala/fruit". 

But NammAzhvAr starts with a disappointment seeing the ignorant 
people drowned in this samsArasAgaram:

"E pAvam! paramE! Ezhulagum
I pAvam seidhu aruLAl aLippAr Ar" - TVM 2.2.2

So NammAzhvAr with the intention of liberating the entire world from 
this cycle of birth and death does mangaLAshAsanam:

"poliga poliga poliga! 
pOyiRRu valluyir sAbam" - TVM 5.2.1

and he ends with

"uRREn ugandhu paNi seidhu una pAdham" - TVM 10.8.10

Bhagavad Gita helped Arjuna to only start the war but did not give 
him the full benefit/result/phala;TiruvAymozhi gave the desired result
(mOksha).
