Nammazhwar could not stop enjoying Nambi?s beauty. He was completely defeated
by Nambi?s Thirumeni Azhagu. In ThiruvAymozhi 5.5 Nammazhwar enjoys the form of
Nambi. This is an important concept called ?Uruva Vazhippadu? or ?Worship of
Form?. This has been touched upon by Swami Desikan in his work, DramidOpanishad
tAttparya ratnAvali. Swami Manavala Mamunigal also has referred to this concept
in ThiruvAymozhi NootrandhAdhi.
Whenever Nammazhwar closed his eyes, he could completely visualize the beauty
of Nambi. When he opened his eyes, he realized that he was not able to embrace
Him. Nammazhwar?s neighbours are asking him about his love on Nambi. Here is
how Nammazhwar replies them,
?My heart has gone behind Nambi. If it comes back, I will listen to you all. I
am very sure it will never come back after going behind Nambi. There is no use
in getting angry with me. It is you people who first introduced me to Nambi.
The fault is with you all, and not mine.?
Here is the beautiful pasuram,
eNGNGanEyO annai meergaaL! ennai munivadhunNeer?, nangaLkOlath thiruk kuRungudi
nambiyai naaNnkandapin, sanginOdum nEmi yOdum thaamaraik kaNgaLodum, senganivaa
yonRi Nnodum selginRa thennNenchamE
Nambi is so beautiful with His sangu and chakram. These are the beauty of His
DivyAyudhams. His eyes are like lotus. The chakram is like sun, and sanghu is
like chandran (moon). When Nambi?s eyes (lotus)see the chakram, they open and
when they see the sanghu (moon) they close. Since they keep doing this
continuosly, Nambi?s eyes are such that whenever we see from any direction it
is as if He sees us. This can even be enjoyed by all of us when we have the
darshan of Nambi. His lips are red in colour.
Azhwar?s heart has gone behind Nambi due to all the all above characteristics.
After enjoying Nambi, Azhwar says that He cannot be understood by anyone, but
one can do so only by His Nirhetuka Krupai. He instructs all of us to worship
Nambi with pushpam and the 10 pasurams. The 10 pasurams tell about the beauty
of various kuris on the Nambi's Thirumeni. If one is able to do the above and
understand the fact that Thirukkurungudi?s greatness is even more than that of
SriVaikuntam (?ariyakkattru vallAr), that SriVaishnavite will be the one who
will enjoy complete happiness even in the midst of samsara.

Nammazhwar calls Him arivariya pirAn. Another Azhwar says that he has
completely known about Nambi, despite the fact that Vedanta has failed to
completely explain Perumal. He calls Nambi as Perarulalan. Let us look into his
anubhavam in the next posting.
