AchArya Hrdhayam
sUthram 224
The Sixth Ten -Introduction
AzhwAr practising what he had preached- The Lord as the means
 
 In the fifth ten Lord's immense Grace was highlighted by swAmi nam-AzhwAr.  Due to this Grace Lord becomes approachable by one and all and is subject of surrender by them. AzhwAr who had no other refuge, had the divine feet of the Lord as given out by the Lord Almighty. However, the Lord did not show Himself in person which made AzhwAr to send emissaries. Still the Lord did not show His vision forthwith. AzhwAr became very frustrated and angry and turned his countenance the other way akin to a 'thalaivi' being temporarily indifferent (vUdal-praNaya rOsham) towards her ' thalaivan'.The Lord removed this indifference by showing His greatness, strength . AzhwAr, who was not able to cherish the tenth thiru voi mozhi in the fifth ten=being piRandhavARum= which talks about the deeds of the Lord, as AzhwAr melted on contemplating them, enjoyed thoroughly the deeds which are narrated in the thiru voi mozhi "kuravai Achiyar" 6-4.
 
While surrendering, AzhwAr withered off the unwanted things (mAlukku vaiyam aLandha maNALaRku-6-6).
The Lord blessed one and all with His divine feet when He measured all the worlds.
AzhwAr completely surrendered himslef to this "Lord with the divine consort"  exhibiting the first sentence of dhvyam, in the 'thirumalai' dhivya dhEsam. ( agala killEan iRaiyum enRu ---6-10-10)
 
Thus, AzhwAr who had counselled, advised and preached the nature of means, exhibited it here in this great divine feet of the Lord, practising what one preaches.
