Dear Members , While trying to condense the history
behind the 36,000 Eeedu grantham , I have left
the impression that this grantham was created anew by
Vadakku Thiruveethi PiLLai (VTP ) . As Sri Varadhan has
kindly pointed out in a private mail , VTP transcribed the
kalakshEpams of his AchArya and therefore it is accurate
to call Eedu as NampiLLai eedu . The AchAryA was unhappy
with VTP for writing without his permission unlike
PeriyavAcchAn PiLLai . The angry AchArya kept it out of
circulation until divine intervention made it available to us .
Thus we are blessed with Nampillai's Eedu vyAkyAnam .
Thanks Sri Varadhan ,
