Respected members,

I have been reading with interest and reverence the postings on the Periya 
Tirumozhi and would like to put forth a couple of observations re.  the 
recent one of Sri Madhavakkannan:


>Thiruvaali Naadu: 6 miles east of Seergaazhi.

>AzhwAr pleas to Thiruvaali Emperumaan for blessing
>him with Nithya kaimkaryam to him and declares to the Lord that without
Him

>never ever (allow you to) leave. Interesting, most anubhavam filled ten!

>Thiruvaali Naadu: 6 miles east of Seergaazhi.
>Moolavar:Sri Lakshmi Nrusimhar.
>Uthsavar: Thiruvaali NaragaaLan.

I suppose it is Lord of Tiruvali Nagar(-city) and not Lord of Tiruvali
Naraga (-Hell?)

>2. (neelath thadavarai maamaNi nigazhak kidandhadhu pOl/

I suppose what is being alluded to is the boiling of sugarcane juices. I may 
be wrong of course and beg for clarification on this.

Also this temple is a fairly large one in good condition mid fields but one 
had to go in search of the priest!  One of those large structures 
languishing for want of sevaarthis...

With kind regards,

Bhuvana
