T 10.NOTRU SUVARGAM

There are two addresses in the vocative case in this
pasuram - NOTRU SUVARGAM PUKUKINRA AMMANOY! and 
ARUN KALAME! - both bring out the excellences of this
gopi and thereby imply the excellent characteristics
of good Sri Vaishnavas.
1. SUVARGAM here means only union with God.
Sita says,while pressing Rama to take her with
Him to the forest," If I am with you that is heaven for 
me.Separation from you means hell." The girl here has
completed all her rites by surrendering to the Lord and
hence is enjoying His company.So also for a Sri Vaishnava
there remains nothing to be done by way of" Upaaya" after
accepting Him as the sole refuge(SARANAGATI).

2.ARUNKALAME! "Kalam" has two meanings (a) vessel and 
(b) ornament; A Sri Vaishnava is the vessel to contain
His Grace.A Sri Vaishnava possesses superior ornaments in 
the form of virtues;or he himself is the best ornament
embellishing the gatherings of other Sri Vaishnavas.
SUVARGA can also be broken up into SU+VARGA (SU=good
VARGA=gathering).If a man possesses all good qualities
he will be taken into the fold of Sri Vaishnavites.
(Ref to PERIYAZHWAR TIRUMOZHI 3.6.11 - Saadu kottiyul
kolla ppaduvare.)
