sUthram 228-17

1. I SWEAR BY YOU/PERIYA-PIRATTI- LEAVE ME NOT OH!LORD. -thiru-ANai-nin-ANai
2. THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU/YOUR SELAM-SEIDHIP PIZHAI.

"thalai misaiyAi vandha thALgaLaip pUNdu pOgAmal thaduthuth thiruvANai ittuk, 
kUsam seiyyAdha seidhip pizhai'

1.thiru-ANai-nin-ANai
swAmi nam-AzhwAr realises that the archirAdhi, the royale receiption, the 
unblemished and unalloyed, infinite affection are visions as bestowed by the 
Lord sri Almighty. However, he wanted the Lord not to leave him at all at this 
juncture or subseqently. Hence, AzhwAr literally clasps the Lord's divine feet 
and practically stops him from proceeding away from Him. He also spreads out an 
indefensive net/Order/promise/oath -"thiru-ANai -nin-ANai-kaNdAi" 
thiru-voi-mozhi 10-10-2;

'You should not leave me henceforth- ini nAn pOgal-vottEan' 10-10-1;
'thalai mEal puNaindhEan charaNangaL'--I have adorned the divine feet of the 
Lord - 10-6-6;

thiur-ANai-nin-ANai kaNdAi: I swear by You, Oh!Lord You should not leave me; 
swear by periya-pirAttiyAr-Oh!Lord You should not leave me' are the 
words.10-10-2;

sriman nArAyaNA asks AzhwAr : AzhwAr, you know very well that as per the nature 
and attribute of the soul, you shold not demand such action/inaction from my 
side. Is it fair?

The reply is:-
2.SEIDHIP PIZHAI
nEsam sedhu vunnOdu-vuyir-vEaRanRi voNNagaVEA: Kindly recall what happened 
earlier. That is exactly what I tried to do. I wanted to distance myself from 
You, considering my smallness and Your bigness. You swooped down on me, entered 
my heart, mixed with me obliterating the difference between You and me. Having 
done everything, now You try to blame it on me. Whose intiative and action was 
it all along, Oh! Lord. It is the mistake of the deed on Your part.
That is here termed as -seidhip pizhai. -
'nEsam seidhu-ennai-vuyir vEARanRi voNRAgavEa-kUsam seiyAdhu 
koNdAi....' 10-1;

AzhwAr further, submits justifications for the Lord not to leave him.
