நானிலத்தில் குரு வரையை நாடினான் வாழியே நலம் திகழும் நாதமுனி நற்பதங்கள் வாழியே

Aani Anusham is the thirunakshathiram of Sri. Nathamunigal. It is by listening to the pathigam of 11 pasurams "ஆரா அமுதே! அடியேன் உடலம்" Nathamunigal's curiosity was propelled to explore the 1102 pasurams of Thiruvaaimozhi. He chanted Kanninun Siruthambu 12000 times and earned the grace of Sri Nammazhwar and not only got the 1102 pasurams of Thiruvaaimozhi but also pasurams of all Azhwars and consolidated them into Divya Prabhandham. He categorized those that can be set to music in one category and rest as Iyarpa. He taught his nephews to sing these pasurams set to music. Sri Nathamunigal may be considered as Bhageeratha for Divya Prabhandham.
