Dear BhAgavatas,

Adiyen got a doubt when reading the translation from
Smt Nappinnai. In translating "thanakkenna Or uruvam,
Or peyarum inRikkE", she has used "having no fixed 
form" and "having no name".

I think our sampradhayam holds that He has a definite 
form (dhivya mangala rUpam) and that He has many 
definite names.

What Sri Pillai Lokacharya means perhaps, is that while
He has form and names, He gladly accepts any form and 
name that His devotees like for Him (Asrithar ugantha). 
May be that is why he used the thanakenna - He has the 
form and name not for Himself but for the sake of His 
devotees and gladly accepts many more.

Smt Nappinnai and others, please clarify.
