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.

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 enRAsaiyAl...." ---------> thiru voi mozhi 3-8-5----> the role of eyes is desired by the ears.
            Thus each sensory organs desire the effect of others to experience the Lord Almighty.
B. Whose Poet is AzhwAr?
"vAi koNdu mAnidam pAda vandha kaviyEAn allEAn"---> thiru voi mozhi 3-9-9---> "I am not an ordinary poet singing praise of  mortals. I sing in praise of the Lord"  AzhwAr.
 
"onRi onRi vulagam padaithAn kavi"-------> thiru voi mozhi 3-9-10------> " I am the Royal Poet of the Lord Almighty who created   this world repeatedly for the welfare of the souls" AzhwAr.
