Shree NammAlwar: Personal Shriman Narayana and Upanishadic Siddhantas...

AS WE ALL KNOW ALWARS' PRABANDHAS ARE IMBUED WITH PURELY UPANISHADIC SIDDHANTAS. 

IN THE FOLLOWING EXCERPT FROM #"NAMMALWAR"# A. SRINIVASA RAGHAVAN EXPLAINS THE INTERCONNECTION OF JNANA-TINTED UPANISHADIC SIDDHANTAS AND EMOTIONAL BHAKTI CONTEMPLATIONS WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN SHRI NAMMALWAR'S "TIRUVOIMOZHI":

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: Nice research with a philological tint (a common case for Sahitya Akademi editions, as they always focus on philology). 

Bridal Mysticism (Nayaki-Bhava) of Shree NammAlwar is also discussed in the Grantha, I liked the following translation on page 82:

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: Lovely vintage edition! The 1st part of the Grantha is about Shree RangaKshetra, while the 2nd part is about Alwars. 

Shreemati RangaNayaki-Devi is called "KamalaValli" in the story about Her Marriage with Bhagavan Shree RangaNatha. Very Beautiful Name!

Sudarshana Alwar (enhanced image)...

I liked very much the following image of Sudarshana Alwar from #"SRIRANGA KSHETRA MAHATMYAM" by R. Narasimhan#. The scan is of vintage quality, so I have recovered the image via GIMP ["bilateral-repair"-filtre and "retinex"-filtre]:
