What happened in the eighth ten? The Lord out of His
grace and affection voluntarily blessed AzhwAr with His presence and exchanged
Himself with AzhwAr which He does so with the nihya-sUrigaL. These experiences
were all exchanged in the thiru-voi-mozhi 'iruthum viyandhu'
in the earlier ten. AzhwAr then realised the nature of the soul as
explained by the Lord Almighty. The sequential and logical fallout is to achieve
and fulfill the nature being service to the Lord. For this the Lord;'s blessing
is necessary. His Graceful glance is a must. His divine feet is the need.The
service to "Him with His consorts" is to be sought after.His affectionate words
are the requriement. Azhwar desires these and due to the extreme expectation and
deep attachment towards this, was not able to wait till this got
automatically. Hence, Azhwar requests the Lord "If I am not to go to YOur divine
place and serve You, let me be blessed with serving You here in thiru-p-puLingudi".' Call me and give me the
opportunity to serve YOu' is AzhwAr's scream.
pAsuram-s
The experience with the Lord is elaborated in the
thiru-voi-mozhi
"iruthum viyandhu"
8-7-1;
The Lord's exchange is akin to that with that of
nithya-sUrigaL.
"Aruyir pattadhu, enadhuyir
pattadhu" 9-6-9.
AzhwAr desired this experience culminating into
service to the Lord Almighty being the nature of the soul forthwith. This is all
reflected in the thiru-voi-mohzi "paNdai
nALAlEa".
"thoNdarOrku aruLi, vun sOdhi vAi
thirandhu, vun thAmariak kaNgaLAl nOkkAi" ----> 9-2-1--"Oh! Lord,
Bless Your disciples by spelling out a few words and gracing us with Your divine
eyes.
"pAdha pangayamEa thalaikku
aNiyAi"--9-2-2---> Your divine lotus feet is the adorning ornaments
for our heads.
"vun thAmarai mangaiyum nEyum idam
koL mUvulagum thozha irundharuLAi" 9-2-3--> Please grace us by YOur
presence alongwith pirAtti in this world.
"nin pal nilA mutham thavazh
kadhir muRuval seidhu, nin thirukkaN thAmarai thayanga ninRaruLAi"
9-2-5--> Bless YOur smile to us. Grace us with your divine
glance.
Instead of watiing for the time to ripe for reaching
the Lord,AzhwAr immediately desires to meet the Lord Almighty. Hence,AzhwAr
wants The Lord in this world, and call him to serve 'Him with His consort' in
this world.
