	The Naalaayira Divya Prabandham
		The Divya Prabandham is the collective corpus of the passionate hymns of the Alvar mystics (5th-8th centuries A.D.).
		It was the scholar-saint Nathamuni who, in the 10th century, retrieved and compiled this bhakti treasure which is the pride of Tamil classical literature.
		The Divya Prabandham is in the form of adoration of the deities of 108 temples (divya desams) situated in different parts of the country, and employs every form of poetics (aNi) and prosody (chandam) available in Tamil.

		H.H The Jeeyar pointed out that the true comprehension of Para Tattvam is very difficult, even more difficult is the comprehension of the divya dampathis as the manifestors of the doctrine of Ekaseshithvam (mithunam's anyOnya lakshyam).
		H.H. the Jeeyar profusely quoted from Sruthis and Divya Prabhandhams to support this view of Sriman Naaraayanan as PARA DEVATHAI and His Supremacy over all the other subservient Devathaas.

	The Hindu : Miscellaneous / Religion : Unique glory
		A tremendous effort and determination are needed to cull it because the truth is scattered and hidden behind a maze of terse statements.
		But Vedanta Desika's hymn Padukasahasram — a work of exceptional merit in terms of philosophy, poetry and devotion and a direct adoration of the Lord's sandals (Paduka) — takes away the honours, for it is a further refined statement of the eternal truth expressed in the Divya Prabhandham.
