SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama: Dearest all, Using his mind, speech, AzhwAr performs Thirumanjanam (sacred bathing) for the Lord in the next two verses. First verse on Rama avatharam and the latter verse is on various avathArams. munpolA irAva NanRan muthumathi Lilangkai vEviththu, anpinA lanuman van^thaaNG katiyiNai paNiya ninRArkku, enpelA muruki yukkit tennutai nenca mennum, anpinAl NYAna neer_koN tAttuva Nnatiya NnEnE. 15 mun- during thrEtha yuga, anumAn ?

Even though Rama had melted, now there is a chance for Asritha rakshaNam and hence did not completely melt; (urvaagi ninRaan). I, the eternal servant of such greatest Asritha rakshakan, Sarva Swami, Lord Sri Raamaa, languish for Him and my body and bones started melting with such a longing and languhsing for Him. But when I was blessed the jnAnam to think of His rakshakathvam, Swamithvam, Vaathsalyathvam and Seshithvam vis-à-vis my eternal seshathvam, and enjoyed His kalyANa guANas as SitA Rama. My love for Him flowed from my heart. That love alone nbecame the nutrient and instrument for my jnAnam in the lines of ?bhakthyA saasthrAth vEdmi janArdhanam?. The jnAnam (preethi poorva bhagavad anubhava janitha) became the pure waters that would be used for the sacred bath of my Lord in my heart. Similar to Namaazmhwaar, poosum saandhu en nenjamE?, AzhwAr also considers his heart and the jnANam therein as the thirumanjana theertham. Sri Satakopan Swami adds: Azhwaar is in an exalted mood of offering Kainkaryam to the Lord. He thinks of incidents related to the Vibhava Avatharams of the Lord. He offers first Snaana Alankaram and then Garland alankaram. In the 15th pasuram, he thinks of Ramaavatharam and the incidents of Sundara Khandam. Azhwaar says that he conducted Thirumanjanam (Snaanaalankaram) for the Lord with that perfumed water constituted by Divya Jnanam.
