Nilam thuzhAval refers to the aspect of one looking down towards the earth with
a physical activity with one's feet scratching the ground as a reaction to an
embarrasing situation. Azhwar describes how AarAvayitrAan was kind enough to
enter into Azhwar?s body.

antrennaip punarththathen seyvAn?

ondrenakkarul seyya unarththalutrEnE (TVM 10.8.9)
There was an interesting discussion between Bhattar and Nanjeeyar about this
pasuram. Azhwar says that today, Perumal has made him an entity in such a way
that Perumal has entered in to his body, whereas this was not the case until
yesterday - What is the justification for this?
Perumal: Azhweer, you have attained all the aspects that a soul needs to
attain by completely doing Atma samarpanam to me, and that is why I have
entered in to you. You are so special.
Without taking credit for himself, Azhwar replies with the following
statement:
That again is purely because of your nirhEtuka krupai.
For this reply, ArAvayitrAn could not answer any further and hence started to
stand in a postion where He was looking down and drawing circles with His feet.
Perumal is kind enough to do this nilam thuzhAval for bhaktA's sake. In this
context, Perumal could be considered as Krishna in child form as NammAzhwar was
completely immersed in "Krishna trishnA tattvam".
As soon as AarAvayitrAn entered Azhwar?s body, Azhwar expresses his happiness
in the next pasuram, and feels that he cannot ask for anything more than what
AarAvayitrAn has done to him.
