Shiva is mentioned as, “the one who has a crescent moon on his jaṭa,” “the one who has Ganges in his jaṭa,” “the one who has three eyes,” “the one who has a dark neck.” etc. The word Shiva is not used by the Azhvars. “Gods” in the plural refers to other gods. “The god” in this translation means Thirumaal. Does it mean the god is arguable? As much as I know there is no grammar rule for Vishṇu changing to Viṭṭu.). The name Vishnu is not found in the text. 4000 poems (pasurams) were composed by twelve Azhvars who called their god Maal, Neḍumaal, Thirumaal, Kanṇṇan and Nambi. I hope you will enjoy reading this great work of Azhvars.Īccording to Tamil scholars the Vaishnava Bhakthi movement dates from the 5th century CE to the 10th century. This is my own work and if there are any mistakes, they are my responsibility. I hope this work will be helpful for academic scholars, students who do research on the Azhvars and anyone who is interested in the Divyaprabandham. My concern in this book is to provide a good translation of the pasurams. There is much information about Vaishnavism and the Azhvars’ lives found on the internet. The Seven Azhvars in this volume are Periyazhvar, Aṇḍal/Thalaivi, Kulasekharazhvar, Thirumazhisaiyazhvar, Thoṇḍaraḍippoḍiyazhvar, Thiruppaṇazhvar, Madhurakavi Azhvar. How is it that the world cannot understand the nature of the god Maal? (795) That drink honey and fly around the ponds.
