AchArya Hrdhayam SUthram 226-3
 
THE EIGHTH TEN
 
" Arath thzhuvi en vuyirai aRavilai seidha naR sOdhi"
 
 
"thalai sirppath thandavadhil kruthanjgadhA  pala pradhupagAramAga vEndhar thalaivan kanyakA dhAnam pOlEa Arath thazhuvi aRavalai seidha AthmalAbathAlEA athEva viLangip paNaithu"
 
The Lord Almighty becomes very happy and shining on getting the soul -which actually, already belongs to Him - of the AzhwAr. The sparkle and splendour which adorns the Lord, makes Him multifold - multifarious in His form. This is what is termed by AzhwAr as
" Arath thzhuvi en vuyirai aRavilai seidha naR sOdhi"
 
 
AzhwAr recalls the great Grace of the Lord in having getting thiru-voi-mozhi being sung through him. Again he expresses the gratitude by submitting his self/soul at the feet of the Lord Almighty,  forgetting the fact that AzhwAr did not submit this earlier on the grounds that this already belongs to the Lord. However, akin to janakarAjan presenting sEthA pirAtti to sri rAmA, AzhwAr submitted to the Lord and the Lord accepts this with glee.
 
Though sEthA pirAtti belongs to the Lord already, sri rAmA accepts her with happiness and sparkled. Similarly, the Lord Almighty became brighter and glittered after having accepted Azhwar's AnmA-soul. The Lord became embedded with splendour and sparkled and multiplied multifold into several shoulders, several countenances, several divine eyes, several divine feet and several divine names on having repossessed AzhwAr's AnmA.
 
pAsuram-s:
 
"malar adip pOdhugaL en nenjathu eppOdhum iruthi vaNanga" --7-10-5--> were the emotional outpouring of AzhwAr being the gratitude for having being made him as a channel for thiru-voi-mozhi.
 
"thALgaLai enakkEa thalaith thalaich sirappath thandha pEArudhavi" 8-1-10; The gratitude is again expressed in this eighth ten beginning.
 
"vEandhar thalaivan janaka rAsan" periAzhwAr thiru mozhi 4-1-2 where sEthA pirAtti was presented to sri rAmA. Though, sEthA pirAtti incarnated for sri rAmA, sri janaka rAjan declared her as his daughter-"iyam sEthA mama sudhA"
 
Similarly, AzhwAr presents His soul to the Lord and on receiving the Almighty bcomes shining and happy and takes multifarious forms
"thOLgaL AyirathAi!mudigaL AyirathAi!thuNaimalar kaNgaL AyirathAi!thALgaL AyirathAi! pEArgaL AyirathAi!".
 
The splendour resulting from this submission of the soul is thus described aptly as:
" Arath thzhuvi en vuyirai aRavilai seidha naR sOdhi "
