AchArya Hrdhayam sUthram 221
Contd.
The Third Ten
It was seen that the prime quality of
the Lord highlighted in this ten is omni-presence. It was also noted that though
He is spread everywhere, He is not easily pereceptible due to our limited nature
of sensory organs. He is not affected by the defects of the souls or insentients
where He is present.The Lord grants release from cycle of births to those souls
who consider Him as means and end. The initial grant of physical body was wasted
and it distanced one from the Lord Almighty. This led to a situation where the
soul knew only to enter various births but did not understand how to get
release. The yearning grew for AzhwAr towards the Lord which culminated in the
Lord showing Him His abode and granting it to AzhwAr. In the previous ten AzhwAr
desired the brightest mOksham. What is it actually? Service unto the Lord.
AzhwAr cherished the beauty of the Lord with His divine ornaments. The
service mentioned above was desired by AzhwAr at all places, at all times and at
all states. The Lord who is the Lord of the one and all displayed His
presence in all states, all places which AzhwAr apprecaited greatly. :
After having enjoyed the Almighty's prsence in everything, AzhwAr became very
mirthful which trsnposed into AzhwAr appreciating the LOrd through deeds, words,
mind and so on. This led to a state where AzhwAr subservience did not just
stop with the Lord but extended towards His devotees. The service not just
to Him but to His devotees, the shEshathvam not just to Him but to His devotees
is the ultimate, which AzhwAr's mind culminated into.

Text: "A. pai koL pAmbu pOlEa indhriya vruthi
niyamamaRa B.pAda vandha
kaviyanRikkEA padaithAn kavi
slogakkruthAi............"
Summary: A. The
Lord Almighty's bed is thiru ananthAzhwAn whose eyes also perform the role of
ears. Likewise, AzhwAr also desires that these mixed roles to enable him to
experience the Lord's beauty. AzhwAr wants to perform the role of deeds by his
mind, role of hand by his mind, role of eyes by his hands, role of ears by his
eyes thus overshooting the determined roles of the
organs.
B. AzhwAr is not just creator of poems/psAlms to sing praise
of mortals. He is the royal poet of the Lord Almighty. The Lord Almighty has
created all this world. AzhwAr is His poet-padaithAn kavi.
pAsuram-s: A.Desire of AzhwAr to exprience the
Lord
"pai kOL
pAmbu yEaRi vuRai paranEa"----------> thiru voi mozhi
3-8-4;-----------> The bed of the Lord is thiru
ananthAzhwAn.
"nenjamE nEL nagarAga irundha en
thanjanEA"---> thiru voi mozhi 3-8-2---> the role of mind is
desired by the words.
"vAsagamEa yEatha aruL seiyyum
vAnavar tham"----> thiru voi mozhi 3-8-3---> the role of words is
desired by the hands.
"kaigaLAl ARA thozhudhu thozhudhu
vunnai.."------> thiru voi mozhi 3-8=4----> the role of hands is
desired by the eyes.
"kaNgaLAl kANa varungol
