Earlier we saw sri kulasEkara AzhwAr's experience.
Here let us go into the experience of thirumazhisaip-pirAn.
Sri vElukkudi varadhAchAri swAmi often used to
explain this duirng his discourses.
When two persons are very close and intimate they
use to swap their clothes. Likewise, thirumazhisai-AzhwAr and ArAvamudhap-pirAn
exchange their names and became thirumazhisaip pirAn and
ArAvamudha-AzhwAr.
Thirumazhisai AzhwAr had such an intimacy with
thiruk kudandhai perumAL. Thiruch-chandha virutham 61
"nadandha kAlgaL nondhavO, nadungu
gnAlam yEnamAi idandha mei kulungavO,
kadandha kAl parandha kAvirik
karai kudandhai vuL , kidandhavARu ezhundhirundhu
pEsu, vAzhi
kEsanE"
Oh! LOrd of thirukkudandhai ,You are resting after
your measuring the World and rescuing the world.
The Lord initiated to get up and greet AzhwAr, but
AzhwAr requested the LOrd to speak to him on the reclining position and
accordingly the LOrd spoke to him on just lifting His head from a reclining
stance.-"kidandhavARu ezhundhirundhu pEsu vAzhi
kEsanE"
Such was the experience of thirumazhisaip
pirAn.
