 thiru voi mozhi nURrandhAdhi

"nedumAl azhagu thanil, nEL guNathil, Edu 
padumA nilai vudai baktharkku; adimaithanil
ellai nilamthAnAga eNNinAn mARAn; adhu
kollainilamAna nilai koNdu' 80

1. Both this pAsuram and "nedumARkadimai" 8-10 of thiru voi mozhi commence with 
the terms 'nedumAl'

2. This pAsuram is representative of the thiruvoi mozhip pAsuram 
"nedumArkadimai seivEan pOle" where the subservience to the Lord extends and 
transforms into subservience to the devotees of the Lord who are submerged in 
His grace and attributes. This is precisely summarised in the words of that 
padhigam
"saymE adimaith thalai ninRAr thiruthAL vaNangi' 8-10-2 and further "kOdhil 
adiyAr thm, thamargaL thamargaL thamargaLAm" 8-10-9 and finally culminating 
into " nEkkamillA adiyAr tham,
adiyAr adiyAr adiyAr engOkkaL.." 8-10-10, thus enunciating that the devoteesof 
the devotees of the devotees of the Lord are my Sirs. I am subservient to them. 

This pAsuram brings this aspect to the forefront "...baktharku , adimaithanil 
ellai nilamthAnAga eNNinAn mARan, adhu kolli nilam..: swAmi nam AzhwAr 
considers himself as the last in the line of devotees lineage and is 
subservient to one and all of them. 

3. Both the pAsuram and thiru voi mozhi 8-10-11 has the "koNdu' as the final 
say which is the first term of the next pAsuram.

4. 'ellai nilamAga eNNinAn mARan' is the tribute to nam AzhwAr
