Just another thought,
The super six - Kaliyan's 6 periya thirumozhi,
thirukurunthAndakam, thiruvezhukoorirukai, siriya thirumadal, periya
thirumadal, thirunedunthAndakam
The big five - para, vyuha, vibhava, antharyami,
archai or the artha panchakam (prApyam, prApagam, upayam, purushArtham,
virodhi)
The great four - Thiruviruththam, thiruvasiriyam,
periya thiruvandhAdhi, thiruvaimozhi or dharma, artha, kama, moksha or karma,
jnana, bhakthi, prapaththi
The three - Chit, achit, Ishvaran (tattvatrayam)
or thirumanthram, dvayam, charama slokam (rahasyatrayam)
Please note that this mail is purely for
