Mudal Azhvars - Continued.

Mudal azhvars travelled together to other temples, and experienced
many wonderful moments and anubhavams together.

Samskrit Vedas struggled to define the lord, but the 
three mudal Azhvars beautifully describe the LORD.

In Thirukkovalur at sage Mrugandus small hut's verandah 
with the Vision of the Supreme Lord, all the three 
azhvars sang pasurams.

PoigaiAr gave us the first 100 pasurams: mudhal thiruvandhAdhi

vaiyyam thagaliyA~, vArkadlE~ neyyAga
veyyakkadirOn viLakkAga |
sudarAzhiyAn adikkE~ soottinEn son mAlai .

Lord, who holds the Divine chakrA, is the cause of this wonderful
universe. I am offering this garland of pAsurams to Him, whose vision I had. 
Earth as the bowl, and oceans as the oil, bright sun as the flame, I have lit 
up this lamp for the Lord.

PoigaiAr completed singing the first 100 pasurams, then BhoodathAr started the 
second 100: "irandAm thiruvandhAdhi"

anbE thagaliyA~ Arvame neiyyAga
inburugu sindhai idu thiriyA |
nannpurugi gynAna chudar vilaku Ethinen
gyana thamizh purindha nAn ||

Here: love is the lamp and selfless service is oil.

" I dedicate myself to the service of the lord, by singing this song, with love 
as the lamp, eager involvement as the oil, and knowledge as the wick of the 
torch".

BhoodathAr completed singing the second 100 pasurams, 
then PeyAr started the third 100 called "moonRAm thiruvandhAdhi".

en Azhi vaNNan pAl inRu ||

" I found the Glorious, golden form of the Lord. I have seen the Glory, Beauty 
and color, His brightness and brilliance and 
His Divine Conch on one hand and chakrA  on the other;"

These three azhvars represent the Para-Bhakthi, Para-gnyana, and
Parma-Bhakti. As they appeared before all other azhvars, they are called as 
Mudal (the First) Azhvars.
