SrI:
 
Dear BhakthAs of ThiruviNNagarappan :
 
In the previous Paasuram , Thirumangai declared that he will not
forget the anubhava sukham of the Lord ( Inbham thuRappEn allan ).
He stated further that he will not forget ever the dhivya soundharyam
of the Lord ( Ninn uruvam yenRum maRappEn allEn ) . adiyEn will
not hence view myself as taking another Janmam based on the reason
of my Tanmayathvam with You , the Lord of ThiruviNNagaram .
 
In this Paasuram , Thirumangai makes some fine distinctions . He responds
to the question that he anticipates from the Lord : KaliyA ! You say that you
will not forsake the bliss of anubhavam about me . You are known for
VishayAnubhava pravrutthi ( engagement in Vishaya sukhams) . How could
you claim that you have developed Tanmayathvam towards Me ?
 
Kaliyan Responds this way to allay the doubts of the Lord :

 
thuRantEn Aarvac-cheRRam suRRam thuRanthamayAl
   siRanthEn NinnadikkE adimai ThirumAlE
aRam thAnn aay thirivAi Unnai yenn manatthu ahatthE
   thiRampAmal koNDEn ThiruviNNagarAnE - - -Periya Thirumozhi: 6.3.2
 
(Meaning ): Sriya: Pathi ( ThirumAlE ) ! adiyEn has abandoned my
relatives filled with desires ( raagam) and dhvEsahams ( hatred ) .
As a result of that initiative , adiyEn's servitude ( dhaasyam ) for Your
sacred feet has grown many fold and has attained a special significance .
Oh Lord , who moves around as the embodiment of SanAthana dharmam
( aRam ThAnAi thirivAi ) ! adiyEn has now kept You inside my  mind securely
( Unnai yenn manatthu ahatthE thiRampAmal koNDEn ) .   
 
Special Notes :
**********************
Oh Lord of ThiruviNNagar ! Not only did adiyEn leave behind
the raaga-dhvEshams but adiyEn also left the Bandhus with
raaga-dhvEshams , who would have stood in the way of perfecting
my striving for You . AdiyEn stays only  with those bhandhUs ,
who kindle and reinforce the sukhAnubhavam about Your
dhivya mangaLa vigraham and anantha kalyANa guNams .
This new state of servitude ( dhaasyam ) has become more
distinguished than the previous state of adimai . adiyEn has
fully absorbed Your upadEsam that You alone are the SanAthana
dharmam and You are the one to be worshipped through
all dharmAs (Sarva Dharma SamArAdhyan) ; as a result ,
my servitude to You has stayed  firm and will not experience
any vikArams (Changes) .   
 
We find the echo of  Thirumangai's moving statement 
in the prayer of AchArya RaamAnuja in his SaraNAgathy
gadhyam SooNikai :
 
pitharam mAtharam dhArAn BhandhUn sakhIn gurUn
rathnAni dhana-dhAnyAni kshEthrANi cha gruhANi cha
 
sarvadharmAmsccha santhyajya sarva-kAmAmsccha sAksharAn
lOka-vikrAntha CharaNou SaraNam tE avrajam vibhO 
 
dhAsabhUtha: SaraNAgathOsmi Tvaasmi dhAsa: 
ithi vakthAram mAmm taaraya !    
 
The Lord's answer for that SaraNAgathy was :  "- - - asEsha-sEshathaika-rathiroopa nithya kinkarO bhavishyasi . maa tE bhUth athra samsaya: "
 
Thirumnagai's SaraNAgathy was performed and the aathma
rakshA bharam was granted by the Lord as in the case of
AchArya RaamAnuja later .
