SriRAma Jayam, SrimatE RAMAnujAya nama: Dear Krishna, I made a statement explicitly saying that "off-handedly (without referring to the text)" in those two AzhwAr's pasuram,we recognize "praLaya". If I'm right(my tamizh has become weak due to lack of touch)amalan means world and adipirAn means the First/Beginning Cause/God. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong. Kulashekhara Azhwar says in mannu pugazh "pundarIka malar adan mEl bhuvani ellam padaiththavanE....RAghavanE tAlElO". What does this mean? HE creates the worlds/universes not that they co-exist with Him. Nammazhwar says in Ozhilvil kAlamellAm (Koil Tiruvoimozhi 3:3:5)that HE is the Prime God. These are the pasurams I chant daily,so I said "off-handedly". All I meant was AzhwArs had said that it is HE who creates the Universe.
