Periyazvar Tirumozhi 2 description

Periyalwar is one of the twelve azhwar saints of South India, who are known for their affiliation to Vaishnava tradition of Hinduism. Vishnucitta or Periyalwar incarnated on this earth in the 47th year after the beginning of the Kali Era (3102 BC).[3] The verses of azhwars are compiled as Nalayira Divya Prabandham and the 108 temples revered are classified as Divya desam His original name is Vishnuchittar and he since he is considered the oldest among azhwars, he is called Periazhwar
Vishnuchittar composed a couplet called Thirup-Palandu translating to "Long live for many years, Long live for many years for Hundreds of thousands of years!" to God. This is a very important prayer in Srivaishnava tatvam. Vishnuchittar composed some pasurams in the 4000 Divya Prabhandham called Perialvar Tirumozhi where he explores a devotee's love for God through the metaphor of Yashoda's motherly love for Krishna. He was the adopted father of Kodhai or Andal, the only woman alvar.
