Periya aazhwaar.

He is one of the 12 revered aazhwaars belonging to 7 th centuryAD . He is also popular as the father of Andaal, the only woman vaishnavaite saint.Periya Aazhwaar has to his credit nearly 500 verses. the most famous of them is the hymn of 12 verses blessing Narayana with several100 crore years of reign and supremacy.

Pallandu pallandu palla kodi noor aandu---is the begining of the verse in Tamil.

Apart from Thirupallandu he has written Thirumozhi, 461 in number, which mainly seek to potray the experiences of Yasodha as the mother of Sri Krishna ,as divined by Peria azhwar ,in touching verses.
I have attempted to translate few other hymns from Thirumozhi.
