sUthram 228-11

'manam thiruthi, vEdu thiruthap pOi, nAdu thirundhinavAREA, vandhu, viNNulagam 
thara viraindhu athai maRandhu, kudi koNdu, thAm puRappatta AkkaiyilEa pukku..."

Summary: The Lord initally made AzhwAr to focus on Him by His sEla guNam. After 
having realised the goal of reforming the souls in this world, He wanted to 
take back AzhwAr. In this process, however, he forget the purpose and got 
emotional entanglement in AzhwAr's physiqe and settled down therein.

manam thiruthi--> in the first ten-third thiru-voi-mozhi "vaLavEzhulagin 
mudhalAyA" AzhwAr felt that Lord is a very elevated person and himself a small 
soul. The Lord Almighty displayed His 'sEla' guNam and mixed with him freely 
and made AzhwAr to focus exclusively on Him and Him alone forever and changed 
AzhwAr's mind - who initially tried to distance himself considering his 
inferiority and Lord's superiority.

"than pAl manam vaikkath thiruthi" --thiru -voi-mozhi 1-5-10; -- Lord making 
AzhwAr to focus on Him and Him alone forever.


vEdu thiruthap pOi: Observing AzhwAr's feelings and fearing that this inferior 
feeling may surface again, the Lord wanted and hastened to grant Him salvation 
and take him up to parama-padham. 

"vEdu thiruthuvAn" thriu-voi-mozhi 1-5-1;

nAdu thirundhinavAREA": sriman nArAyaNA desired that the whole world should 
reform and become srevaishNavites. AzhwAr's counsel achieved this. 
"vUrum nAdum vulgamamu thannaip pOl, avanudaiya, pEArum...pidhaRRa" 
thiru-voi-mozhi 6-7-2;

"vandhu, viNNulagam thara viraindhu: Having achieved the purpose, the Almighty 
hastened to escort and take up AzhwAr to His eternal abode
'vandhu inRu viNNulagam tharuvAnAi viraiginRAn" thiru voi mozhi 10-6-3;


'athai maRandhu, kudi koNdu' --> The Lord who descended on AzhwAr to take him 
up, forgot this and became emotionally involved in the physique of AzhwAr and 
settled down therein.

"gOvindhan kudi koNdAn" thiru voi mozhi 10-6-7;

"AkkaiyilEa pukku': the physique which is to be left out was actually became 
the residence of the Almighty.

'en mAya Akkai idhanuL pukku' 10-7-3;
