 PERIYAZHWAR TIRUMOZHI - 4.5 PASURAMS 371 - 380 4.5 - AASAIVAI Azhwar's advise.  Here Azhwar advises to involve in nAma sankeertanam and hence  name our children after HIS divine name so that we utter his nAmam automatically. 371:## aasaivaay senRa sindhaiyaraahi* annai aththan enpuththirar boomi* vaasavaar kuzhalaaL enRu mayaNGgi* maaLum ellaik kaNvaay thiRavaadhE* kEsavaa! purushOththamaa! enRum* kEzhalaakiyakEdilee! enRum* pEsuvaaravar eydhum perumai* pEsuvaan puhil n^am paramanRE. (2) 1. 371. Even as the soul is leaving the body, do not let your mind  waver  and lament - “my mother, father, children, land and my wives with fragrant hair”, instead cry out KESAVA, PURUSHOTHAMA, THE BLEMISHLESS VARAHA MOORTHY!!. No words can explain the bliss that one gets by chanting these names.

(2) 1. 360. The people of Tirukottiyur hardly speak that which is forbidden. Performing their daily Pooja they practice chanting of vEdA and are very hospitable as well. This lord TirumAl of Thirukkotiyur is the unique one who drove away the hardships of brahma, Rudra and Indra. I really wonder how, those who don’t think of Him are even created!
