The Lord is not only great in gracing even those who are considered as His equal, but also He is easily submissive to His devotees. ?adaikkalatthu Ongku kamalatthalar ayan chenniyennum mudaikkalatthu ooN mun aranukku neekkiyai, Azhi cangkam padaikkalm Enthiyai, veNNaikku anRu Acchi vanthAmbukaLal pudaikka alanthAnai, emmAnai, en chollip pulambuvanE?? (What can say about my Lord, Who once cleared Shiva of the curse of begging for food in the skull of Brahma?s head, Who carries the weapons of discus and conch in hands, Who appeared pathetic when He was bound in strong ropes by Yashoda, the cowherd-woman, for stealing butter?) 87. He is loved by SrI who is the cause for His grace. ?ThirumAl? (The Lord is affectionate to SrI.) 88. He appears to devotees along with His Consort. ?thirumAl uruvokkum mEru, ammEruvil cenchudarOn thirumAl thirukkait thirucchkkaram okkum, annakaNdum thirumAl uruvOdu avanchinnamE pithaRRA niRpathOr thirumAl thalaikkonda nangkatku enkE varum theevinaiyE?? (The Meru mountain is similar to the Consort of SrI. The reddish bright Sun near the Meru mountain is similar to the Discus held in the hand by the Lord. When I have acquired such a unique devotion for Him as to start blurting His names and His symbols, on merely looking at similar objects, how would I commit sin that may lead to separation from Him?) 89. Just because of His association with Sri, the Lord removes the sins of His devotees and blesses them with the pleasure of serving Him. ?theevinaikku Arum nanjai, nalvinaikku amudatthinai, poovinai mEviya dEvi maNALanai, punmai eLkAthu Avinai mEikkum vallAyanai, anRulaku eeradiyAl thAvina eRRai, emmAnai, ennjnAnRu thalaip peivanE? ? (When will I attain my Lord, Who is the effective poison to the sins of His devotees, Who is the nectar for their virtuous acts, Who is the Consort of SrI who stays in the lotus, Who was once a shepherd efficiently grazing the cows without despising it as a mean job, Who had long ago, proudly measured all the worlds in just two steps?) 90. He adds greatness to the devotees? bodies that are adorned with His feet. ?thalaippeithi yAnun thiruvadi choodum thakaimiyinAl nilaippeitha Akkaikku nORRa immAyam? (What mysterious act have I done to get this body which proudly carries Your lotus feet on it?) (To continue) dAsan Anbil S.
