He has His abode in TiruvEnkatam, which too possesses similar Bliss, as SrIvaikuNtam, and makes the BhAghavatas to rush there. "ampon mAmanikaL tisai min-miLirum tiruvEnkadattu vantaL cimayam misai min miLiriya pOvAn vazhikkoNda mEgangaLE." (The clouds, with flashes of lightning, are rushing to the top of the TiruvEnkada hill standing on a strong base. The hill-top is full of elegant gold and lovely gems spreading brightness all sides.) 32. He has such a great compassion as to confer an elegant body, similar to His own, to the devotee who attains Him. "mEgankaLO uraiyIr, tirumAl mEniyokkum yOgangaL ungaLukku evvARu peRRIr?" (Oh Clouds! How did you get such a body similar to that of TirumAl? Please tell me.) [The Lady-love who is in a state of separation from her lover (the Lord) addresses the clouds.] 33. He has taken a vow to destroy the wicked in order to help His devotees to lead their lives. "tirucchakkarattAl agal visumbum nilanum iruLAr vinaikedac chengOl nadAvudIr." (You are ruling justly in such a way as to ensure that there is no wicked activity anywhere in the heaven as well as in the earthly world.) 34. He is adorning Himself with the cool and beautiful Tulasi garland only for the sake of His devotees who can also enjoy wearing it. "unatu taN tAr tataikkinRa taNNam tuzhAy aNivAn atuvE manamAyp pataikkinRa mAtuâ?¦." (This Lady is languishing, with her heart ever on Your cool, beautiful and un-withering Tulsi for wearing it herself.) 35. The divine gift obtained by the BhAgavathas will be enjoyable for their devotees too. "ulakaLanta mAlpAl tuzhAikku manamudaiyArkku nalkiRRaiyellAm chOlvAn pukuntu ituvOr panivAdai tuzhAkinRatE." (This cool breeze is caressing my body with a view to robbing me of the entire Tulasi garland --- of the Lord, Who had once measured all the worlds--- that is normally presented to those who long for it.)
