Sri PeriyavAcchAn PiLLAi's Paasurapadi RamAyaNam
is indeed a beautiful version to recite.
His genius in weaving  a garland out of 
the flowers of the AzhwArs' anubhavams 
into a coherent whole is amazing indeed.
Thanks Sri Mani Varadarajan for reference to this
magnificient work by the VyAkhAyana Chakravarthi 
on the the Surya Kula Chakravarthi.
Thanks to Srimathi Vaidehi KrishNa for the translation.
I used to have a fragment of this AruLiccheyal by 
PeriyavAcchAn Pillai .I can not ind it . If some one of our group
has a full copy , I will volunteer to connect the
pieces of this " Jigsaw puzzle " by attempting to 
identify the different word groups with the original sections
of the Pasurams in consultation with other knowledgable 
members of the group and share it with you . The bonus 
will be the understanding of the meanings of the individual
words or groups of words.
Please let me knw , if anyone has the Tamil text of the 
Paasurapadi RamaayaNam .Thanks.
You can fax it to me at 914-923-1103 or mail it to me
at Apt6B-1 , Scarborough Manor , Scarborough , NY 10510
Thanks . V.Sadagopan
