AchArya Hrdhayam - sUthram 220
Contd.
Second Ten
Contd.
Continuing on the second ten of thiru-voi-mozhi it was
noted that the Lord who is the cause of all the worlds and souls, blessed AzhwAr
with knowledge who desired for mOksham and nithya sUri ghOshti. AzhwAr became
crestfallen on not getting this. The Lord poured His affection on Him which
flowed down to generations of AzhwAr's sambhandhi-s. However, when the Lord
tried to grant salvation, AzhwAr rejected on the grounds that it should be for
His sake and not for the sake of AzhwAr and he always requested for His divine
feet, thus underlining the nature of both. Further, It was seen that those
qualities which go to establish the supremacy -parathvam-namely, sagala pala
prathathva, kAraNathva, shEsha sAyithva, sriyapathithva and saulabhyAdhigaL were
seen in the thiru-voi-mozhi-s "thiNNan" and "aNaivadhu aravaNai". It was also
observed that vision by arjunA and an utterance by shivA was shown as
another instance which go to establish the supremacy of the Lord. The grief
associated with this world; the happiness linked with the mOksham and the yield
which is generally final, is right from the inception stage, is
enunciated.

Summary: The obstacles which hinder approaching Him
are all mentioned and the underlying disadvantages are spelt out. The
accumulated effecrts submerge inescapably one into this world.
In Contrast, at a young age, choosing a dhivya-dhEsam as
one's abode, singing hymns in praise of Him, thinking of Him always are indeed
soul's nature and appropriate to the means which is apposite.
