periAzhwAr s anubhavam
Did periyAzhwAr melt during his encounter with the
Lord? It is well known that periyAzhwAr was much more concerned about the
welfare of the LOrd. However, he melted completely and drank the Lord unto
him.
this is brought out in the pAsuram
"kadal kadaindhu amudham koNdu
kalasathai niRaithAR pOl,
vudal vurugi vAi thirandhu maduthu
unnai niRaithuk koNdEan.."
periyAzhwAr thirumozhi
5-4-4
Thus periAzhwAr cherishes the Lord after his whole
physique melts and becomes like a vessel where the Lord fills the
vessel.
Here a question is asked : When the soul is already
in an extreme state, physique has melted, how is it that the Lord is being
filled and stored in the vessel -periAzhwAr?
"vittuchithan manam" enRu avvamirdham
vyAbitha idam ellAm thiruvuLLam vyAbhikkum" enRu bhattar aruLich
cheidhAr.
The mind and soul of the AzhwAr will pervade
wherever the Lord pervades in.
Such an extreme devotion is bequeathed by the Lord
Himself. "aRivai ennum amudha ARu" enRu parama bhakthi piRandhapadi
sonnAr. ingu pirpaitha kramam sollugiRAr.
In the second pAsuram periyAzhwAr mentions the fact
that he was blessed with an extreme devotion. Here he explains how such blessing
has come -"unnai niRaithuk koNdEan
