chiranjeevi Padmanabhan,
My wife and I are visiting our daughters, Sumathy and
Aravinda, in the U.S.
We are initially spending time with Sumathy in
Richardson / Dallas (Texas).
I heard someone report a linkage between 'kolliam
pAvai' and tiru-veLLaRai puNDareekAksha perumAL.
Is there any such reference in the 'tiru-maDal'
vyAkhyAnam to this effect ?
By the way, WHAT IS THE UPDATE on tiru-k-kuRun-kuDi ?
aDiyEn rAmAnuja-dAsan,
tirumanjanam Sundara Rajan.
