dear bhAgavathAs,

In the previous decade, the state of helplessness that the AzhvAr
achieved was very unusal (when compared to the state of  everyone 
else in the world).(please see 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ramanuja/message/5869); 
He became moved, without being even able to say any words; in such a 
state of being moved by the kalyANa guNAs of the Lord, since it is 
the norm that the Lord appears and makes the AzhvAr recover from the 
state, the Lord came and did the same. Immediately, the state of 
helplessness that the AzhvAr had went away. Now, AzhvAr, knowing that 
talking about the Lord's saulabhyam will move him to the helpless 
state again, talks about the all-supremeness (parathvam) of the Lord.


Even though AzhvAr sings about the parathvam of the Lord in the very 
first thiruvAymozhi 
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ramanuja/message/4020), there is a 
difference between that and this decade in the following manner - in 
the first thiruvAymozhi, AzhvAr sings about the parathvam of the Lord
to His own heart (thozhudu ezhu en mananE!). In this thiruvAymozhi, 
AzhvAr sings about the parathvam in the mode of upadEsam to others.  
In the first thiruvAymozhi, AzhvAr sings about the parathvam in the 
manner of "THe Lord ONLY is all superior" - this approach is called 
anvayam; in this thiruvAymozhi, AzhvAr sings about the parathvam in 
the manner of "It is impossible for anything else other than the Lord 
to be all supreme" - this approach is called vyathirEkham. In the 
first thiruvAymozhi, AzhvAr's words generally align with the 
upanishads; in this thiruvAymozhi, AzhvAr's words generally align 
with the itihasas and purANAs. In the first thiruvAymozhi, AzhvAr 
generally talks about the parthvam in the para form of the Lord; in 
this thiruvAymozhi, AzhvAr talks about the parathvam in the vibhava 
form of the Lord (in the avatArAs).

For those who are devoted towards the feet of nammAzhvAr, after 
knowing the manner in which nammAzhvAr enjoyed the all-supremeness of 
the Lord in His avatArAs and told that beautifully and strongly, the 
effects of the bodily association will not accrue.
