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
vanamamalai padmanabhan
