                                            GRAND RECEPTION FOR ARRIVAL DEVOTEE OF THE LORD
                                            AT THE ALTARS OF PARAMA-PADHAM                          
 
 When priest who conduct the marriages forget some "manthram-s" what do they do? They request for 'getti mELam'.
 
This whole episode in narrated in thiru-voi-mozhi 10-9 "sUzh visumbu aNi mugil".
Likewise, Lord who did not want to make big of His non-response, immediately brought in front of AzhwAr the vision of big band and paraphernalia, divine sounds from various instruments inviting him to enter the great parama-padham.
 
The waves from the ocean jumped in joy. The bugles raised their typical sounds.  The devotees there offered their seats -emadhidag pugudhum - and place. The divine women spoke good of the souls -madandhar vAzhthal.
"sUzh visumbu-aNi mugil, thUriyam muzhakkina, Azh kadal alai thirai, kai eduthu Adina,
yEAzh pozhilum, vaLam yEandhia ennappan, vAzh pugazh nArANan thamaraik
kaNdugandhEa" 10-9-1;
 
The royal and divine instruments were doing their duty. vAdhya ghOshangaL, mangaLa bhErigaigaL. Songs were sung in celebratin of the occasion. The divine din from the 'valam-puri sanku' originated. The divine souls there, appreciated by reciting 'sthothram-s'. The reception was grand-gala and the arrival of AzhwAr was a great event.
"gEthangaL pAdinar kinnarar garudargaL, kALangaL valam-puri kalandhu engum isaithanar, vALoN kaN madandhaiyar vAzhthinar" 10-9-5;
 
The divine escorts-AdhivAhagargaL, the path of archirAdhi, the affectionate reception into the parama-padham by the souls there, the enjoyable structures there and finally attaining the lotus feet of sriman nArAyaNa were all the priceless and unequal visions which were bequeathed by the Lord on AzhwAr.
 
The highlight of the celbration was for the arrival of the devotee of sriman nArAyaNA.
