pravESam (Introduction)

Is it that AzhwAr had lost the enjoyment of only krishNAvathAram just like dhEvaki? [7^th decad] He feels that he had lost the enjoyment of SrI rAmAvathAram too, which SrI kayusalyA [SrI rAma’s mother] had enjoyed. In order to overcome that deficiency, AzhwAr enjoys the way kausalyA had sung lullaby for SrI rAma, in thirukkaNNapuram dhivyadhESam, in this decad.

We will take up the first pAsuram of this decad, next.
