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. --- Padmanabhan <aazhwar@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > > kolliampAvai > > Earlier it was seen that despite periya pirAtti's > presence parkalA nAyaki was desiring emperumAn.
