Sri:
Dear Sri Padmanabhan Swamin,
                                    If one becomes a nithyasUri by His grace, how can be subjected to the modes of nature and/or the five senses?? The literal meaning of the word "Vaikuntha" means a place without anxiety. It is fair to assume that a jeevatma is subjected to anxiety when he is subjected to the modes of material nature, or when he uses his five senses for anything but service to the Lord. What we see here seems to contradict the very concept of Moksham. I request you to kindly address this paradox.
 
Dasan,
Kidambi Soundararajan.

Dear Madam,
 
The emphasis here is not on viNNuLAr by itself but for those who serve the LOrd of viNNuLAr. EmperumAn is the even Lord for viNNuLAr. Those who serve this EmperumAn are 'viNNuLAr perumARku adimai seivAr" .
 
Here, viNNuLArrefers to nithya-Suri-s. The question whether these torment even nithya sUri-s there,is taken up. Yes, it does so. Is there a precedent?The incident of Sri Periya Thriuvadi and sumukan is narrated to prove this point. KInldy refer to EDu vyAkyAnam for this pAsuram.'Thirvadiyaiyaiyum 'enakku' ennap paNNiRRirEA.
 
Thus if nithya-sUri-s are tormented by these five senses there, then can the degree of torture be lesser here in this world.  Then why Oh! Lord are you still keeping me here " is the despair words from mARan.

How, then to escape from these .The answer to this also is given in the seventh pAsuram.
 
" enRu yAn velgiRpan  vun thiruvaruL illaiyEAl'
 With the Grace of EmperumAn.
