Nammazhwar's Contribution
To
Nalayira Divya Prabhandham
Lord Sriman Narayana is the origin of four vedas. He created it and gave it to Brahmma to preserve, administer and spread it. Veda is a priceless possession and is eternal truth.
There are four Vedas namely the Rig Veda, the Yajur Veda, the Sama Veda and the Atharvana veda. Vedas are in Sanskrit.
They are also known as sruthi
Nammazhwar composed and sang four prabhandhams namely Thiru Viruththam, Thiruvasiriyam, Peria Thiruvandhadhi and Thiruvaaimozhi reflecting Rig, Yajur, Atharvana and Sama veda. These Divya Prabhandhams got the name Dravida Veda Sagaram because they were in Tamil and essence of corresponding Sanskrit Veda
Thiruviruththam with 100 pasurams essence of Rig Veda is a message to emperuman from His Consort "Sri". Thiru mrans Sri or Lakshmi, Viruththam implies message
Thiruvasiriam with 7 pasurams, essence of Yajur Veda describe the scene of Srimana Narayana lying on Adhisesha on Thiruparkadal ( Milky Ocean)
In Peria Thiruvandhadhi with 87 pasurams, essence of Atharvana Veda, Nammazhwar dwells on the greatness and gloty of Sriman Narayana and instructs his mind to dwell on them.
THIRUVAIMOZHI with 1102 pasurams, essence of Sama Veda. All the 1102 Pasurams are presented as Thiruvaaimozhi group of 11 pasurams each. Ten such Thiruvaaimozhi pasurams are called a Paththu and there area total of ten Paththu in entire Thiruvaaimozhi. Each paththu focuses on one Kalyana Gunam of Sriman Narayana.
After Nammazhwar's ascendance to Paramapadam, the
Nalyira Divya Prbhandham was lost and later when
Nathamuni channter chanted "Kanninun Siruthambu" 12000
times with devotion, Nammazhwar appeared before him and
gave him not only Thiruvoimozhi but entire Divya
Prabhandham sung by all Azhwars.
