Section - 10: SrI NammAzhvAr reveals all these so far described, in the first
verse of his work, Thiruviruttham.
----
After listing out all the favours the Lord does to a jIva from the
beginning till he attains His abode and enjoys the full and perfect Bliss equal
to Himself, SwAmi Desikan now gives an introduction before taking up his
commentary on the first verse in the Thiruviruttham of SrI NammAzhvAr in this
section:
ippadi nammudaiya apEkShA-nirapEkShamakath thannudaiya

Meaning:
Thus, the Supreme Lord, the Consort of SrI, has done a series of
favours to us in the absence of any plea from us; purely out of His helping
nature and perhaps due to the eternal relationship that exists with us. This
resulted in the development of a desire for liberation that leads to the
ultimate aim of rendering divine service to the Lord unrestricted either by
place or time. Being such one, SrI NammAzhvAr who has been blessed with the
j~nAna-bhakti faculty by the Lord of the blemish-less eternal devotees, begins
to submit his plea for further favours, in the first verse of his work,
Thiruviruttham, the first of his four compositions, which are but out-flow of
his own experience. This he does keeping in mind the favours done by the Lord
earlier. The first verse is:
âpoinninRa j~nAnamum pollA ozhukkum azhukkudambum
inninRa neermai iniyAmuRAmai uyiraLippAn
enninRa yOniyumAi piRanthAi! imaiyOr thalaivA!
meininRu kEttaruLAi adiyEn ceyyum viNNappamE.â
