Has the subject line been discussed here before. I am attempting a 
self study of Kamban and Divya Prabhandam simultaneously (people here 
probably would think I am nuts; I probably am). I find a lot of 
phrases in Kamban (one example is kondal vannan in Ayodhya Kandam to 
refer to our Lord by Kamban and Thirupaanar) taken directly from 
paasurams. I am sure someone has made a scholarly study of this. 
Could someone kindly point me to some relevant material. I do not 
post much but will be following the replies with interest.

Thanks much in advance.

Dear friend:
This is a wonderful idea. You need not feel hesitant about posting 
articles on the subject, even if it had been attempted by someone before. 
You are most welcome. Please bless us with your insights rightaway 
posting them exclusively to "Sri Ranga Sri".

In fact, having been inspired by "Ramapiranai Karpom" - 
a unique book by H.H. Srimad Andavan of Poundarikapuram Swami 
Ashramam, SriRangam, I acquired a full set of 9 volumes 
containing the complete text in original of Kamba Ramayanam 
(upto Yuddha Khandam) when I visited Chennai recently. 

I have covered reading Bala Khandam and Ayodhya Kahandam so far. 
Though I have read this epic before during my student days, 
I feel that every time one reads it, newer and newer 
interpretations occur to the mind in an endless stream 
of pleasant experience and one will be amazed at how 
Kamban and Azhwars speak in in one voice.

I was myself thinking of starting a series on the lines 
indicated by you but only after completing the full text. 
This might take a long time, though.

Meanwhile, you may kindly commence posting. 
I am sure that members of "Sri Ranga Sri" will be happy 
to read the same.
