Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Kulasekhara Azhvar states in his Perumal Thirumozhi 4-10,
that he would want to be born as anything on the divine
mountain of Thirumalai ("emperumAn pon malai mEl EdhEnum
AvEnE").

Anandazhvan made the following comment about it: "Azhvar's
desire is to reside forever on Thiruvengada mountain. If
that can be achieved only by becoming the Lord of the Hills
Himself, then Azhvar would be ready even for that".

The true nature of the soul is servitude to the Lord. To 
abandon that and wish to become the Lord Himself is 
contrary to the nature of the soul. Anandazhvan said that
Azhvar is ready even for that, as true living is only
being on Thirumalai.

Bhattar interpreted the phrase "EdhEnum AvEnE" differently.
He said "Azhvar is saying that 'Let's not be aware as to
what we are on Thirumalai; Let Him also not be aware of
who we are on the Hills; Let no one praise us for being
on the divine mountain or wishing to be on it; Let us
just be something on Thirumalai. All we want is that we 
somehow reside on Thirumalai'."
