Each is 'worthy' of the one above.\n\nThe word 'thakka', worthy, is the heart of the verse. To sing of the great, one must be fit to do so. Nammalvar was fit to sing of Thirumal, and Kambar was fit to sing of Nammalvar, says the preface. For us who read the book it is also an invitation: let us read it worthily, with love.","story_title_ta":"\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bc2\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0b9f\u0b95\u0bcb\u0baa\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b8f\u0ba9\u0bcd \"\u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcd\" \u0b86\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd?","story_ta":"\u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba3\u0bb5 \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bc2\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb1\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \"\u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0baa\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0bae\u0bb0\u0baa\u0bc1 \u0b93\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb4\u0b95\u0bbe\u0ba9 \u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc7 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \"\u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b86\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb4\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc7 \u0b85\u0bb0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \"\u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bc8 \"\u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd; \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8 \"\u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd. \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0b89\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bcb\u0b9f\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb4\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \"\u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcd\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1 \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba3\u0bb5 \u0baa\u0b95\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bc7 \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bc1\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc2\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0ba9\u0bcd \"\u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0b9f\u0b95\u0bcb\u0baa\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bcb?\" \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bc7 \u0b95\u0bc7\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.\n\n\u0b85\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bb0\u0bc8 \u0ba8\u0bae\u0bcd\u0bae\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \"\u0ba4\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\" \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb2\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0bb0\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bbe\u0b9f, \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc8\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0b95\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b95\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0b9e\u0bb0\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd.","story_title_en":"Why He Is Called 'Our' Alvar","story_en":"From Vaishnava tradition. Tradition gives a lovely reason why Maran of Kurugur is called Nammalvar, 'our Alvar': the Lord of Srirangam himself called him 'nam Alvar' with affection. And devotees call that same Ranganatha 'Namperumal', 'our Lord'.\n\nThe Lord calls the devotee 'ours'; the devotees call the Lord 'ours'. In this little word 'nam', spoken with the right of belonging on both sides, lies the essence of Vaishnava devotion. In the third prefatory verse too, Ranganatha asks, 'Have you sung of our Sadagopan?'\n\nThat is why this preface calls Kambar the poet 'worthy' of Nammalvar.
