Shri RAmAnujasya CaraNou Sharanam PraPadhyE

NamskAram DAshyai Sumithra VaradarAjan AvarkaLE.

I am sorry for my misunderstanding about the identity of the author of the 
ThirumAlai Series. Please excuse me.

I really enjoyed the piece as it made me think. Thank you for the refernce to 
the Commentaries of Shri ParAsara Bhattar.

I am a teacher of adolescent childern, not of scholars or even university 
kids. When I teach chidren I see a great need to focus and stay on a central 
idea. And it seemed to me that I was missing something central in the 
beautiful and the most famous PAcuram of ThondardipPodi AazvAr. I learnt it 
in my school days in ThirucChirapPaLLi. The song has always left me 
wondering. I have remembered the first two lines for more than 45 years now. 
It is one of very few songs whose first two lines I remember.

The two words that have frustrated me over the years were "Paccai" in 
"PacaiMA Malai" and "AccuthA". Hence my comment. 

Thanks to your posting, I have now resolved the issue to my satisfcation at 
least for the moment. Please keep working. 

Vandhanam.

Visu

Naha SrIkurvaksmAn KrupAm: May He endow us with Grace here and now.
