Q and A Text responses
Q. What is kOyil thiruvAimozhi?
kOyil thiruvAimozhi is a collection of important padhigams (dhaSakams) from thiruvAimozhi.
Q. When reciting the first line of a dhivya prabandham, why do we omit the initial words, as in ‘thingaL’ instead of ‘marghazhi thingaL’? Is this only for dhivya prabandham or any other sthOthrams?
The concept is – AchAryan will commence and we will follow. So, it is the practice in some dhivyadhEsams and mutts that we will leave the first two words and then proceed. Usually, this practice is seen only for dhivyaprabandhams.
Q. Does kaNNinuN siRuththAmbu prabandham glorify krishNa?
Yes – in the first pAsuram itself, madhurakavi AzhwAr glorifies krishNa and then goes on to glorify nammAzhwAr.
Q. Which pAsurams in thiruvAimozhi refer to thiruvEnkatamudaiyAn?
thiruvAimozhi 3.3, thiruvAimozhi 6.10, periya thirumozhi 1.8 to 2.1, perumAL thirumozhi – UnERu selvaththu, nAchchiyAr thirumozhi – kArkOdal pUkkAL. Many other individual pAsurams.
Q. What is the reason for each Ayiram of dhivya prabandhams being derived from the 4 vEdhas by AzhwArs?
nammAzhwAr’s 4 prabandhams are said to be equivalent to 4 vEdhams. In AchArya hrudhayam, sUthrams 42, 43, etc., (in about 10 sUthrams) – comparison between prabandhams and vEdhams are seen – https://granthams.koyil.org/acharya-hrudhayam-english/ .
