Significance of the number 7

From the Bhakti List Archives

Sri:

Respected Vaishnavas,
                     I have always wondered, what is
the significance of the number 7?? If one reads the
4000, he/she can observe the number 7 being repeated a
lot for enumerative purposes. For eg., in
Thiruppallandu, we have Sri Bhattar going, 

 "Endhai thandhai thandhai thandhai tham moothappan
EZH padigAl thodangi..."

or Banar goes, "aNDaraNDa bagiraNDathu oru mAnilam
EZHU mAl varai..." in amalanAdipiran.

And many more. Can the learned in the fora answer this
query thats arising from my ignorant mind??

Dasan,

Kidambi SoundararAjan.
