 The next sUthram is 132: 
SUthram 132: Text: ? achEthyam ennumadhu, Erum vEam EriyAi ulartha ennappatta 
sitham sithAi allEan enRu nEnga, karaNangaL mudiyAnEyil avaiyAga, vudalam 
Athmadharmam koLLa, kARRum kazhiyum katti azha, koNda perungAdhalukku bhathimai 
nUl varambu illaiyE?.



It was seen in the earlier sUthram that AzhwAr?s bhatkhi manifests into several 
forms which does not fall strictly into the formal devotion as in text books. 
Why AzhwAr?s emotions are uncontrolled and overflowing and takes several forms? 
This is being described in this sUthram. 

The soul cannot be cut by sword, cannot be burnt by fire, cannot be dampened by 
water, cannot be dried by sun, . are the words of Srimad Bhagwad Gita. 



AzwAr?s experiences prove different. In thiru voi mozhi 9-9-6 ?vEam amadhu 
vuyir, azahl mezhuginukku?. My soul will melt like the candle. In thiru voi 
mozhi ?kAriyam nallanagaL avai kANil en kaNNanukku enRu, EriyAi? = good things 
seen by AzhwAr are emotionally dedicated to the Lord.?vEatkaiyAl mel Avi vuL 
vulartha? thiru voi mozhi 2-1-10 referring to the pangs of separation and the 
intense pining for Him making the soft soul to bear the burning ache.

Thus, AzhwAr?s emotional experiences and outpourings undoubtedly point out that 
AzhwAr?s soul is not withing the formal sense of soul being not subject to the 
nature mentioned above; 

Likewise, in the thiru voi mozhi? mudiyAnE? 3-8-1, AzhwAr desires to experience 
the Lord by experiencing the function of one sensory organ by another,which 
absolutely contrary to the nature. 

?vudalam nin pAl anbAi,nErAi alaindhu karaiya? thiru voi mozhi 5-8-1 wherein 
the intense desire and the melting of the soul descends even to the level of 
the body being the carrier of the soul.. Thus instead of the desire and the 
place of its being different, becomes one and the same = the desire manifesting 
likening to a form of AzhwAr= and melts alongwith the soul;

(to be continued)
