Dear Balaji SundaraRajan swAmi,Having seen a thirukkuRaL in the first ten let us go to the tenth ten where the thirkkuRaL has been referred to.'thagavailai thagavilaiyEA nE kaNNA, thada mulai thoRumpuNarchikkARA suga veLLam visumbiRandhu..." 10-3-2 of thiruvoimozhi.Here, parAnkusa nAyaki --AzhwAr- mentions that the happiness that is obtained from the togetherness of AzhwAr and the Lord will permeate through the skies and reach the parama-padham. The happiness is not just likened to parama-padham but is expressed as exceeding the hihgest happiness.Is this possible?Here the thirukkuRaL referred to is:'thAm vEzhwAr men-thOl thuyilin inidhi kolthAmaraik kaNNAn vulagu' 1103.Can the paramapadham of thirumAl-the lotus eyed Lord- can give happiness like the lover's shoulders.Here the happiness of the lovers is expressed as that of exceeding the highest happiness i.e parama-padham,.For lovers their happiness is supposed to be biggest ignoring all other things. Incidentlaly, it should be observed that thiruvaLLuvar has mentioned that the highest happiness as that of thAmarai-k-kaNNAn vulagu.I just mentioned a few places where i remembered offhand. You may please continue.regardsdAsanvanamamalai padmanabhan
