From the Bhakti List Archives

Vijay Triplicane • March 13, 1997 


Hello,
	This is the second pAsuram from periya thirumozhi. This talks about
	the greatness of the women living in thiruvallikkENi in the last
	line (One of the bhakti-list member, Smt. VaidhEhi is from 
	thiruvallikkENi. She would feel very happy that thirumaN^gai AzhwAr 
	has sung about them :-)

	-Viji

knowledge just halts there..)

n^an^dhagOpan

again..)

I (the AzhwAr) had the blessing of such a Lord's dharshan at Triplicane (thiruvallikkENi), which boasts of having incomparably great women living 
there!!
