sAra sangraham

The next pAsuram representing the term 'prapathyE' in the fifth pathu of thiru 
voi mozhi is

"ennAn seigEAn?, yArE kaLai kaN ennai en seiginRai? 
vunnAl allAl yAvarAlum vonRum kuRai vEandEan,
...." 5-8-3.

The Edu avadhArigai of this pAsuram aptly summarizes the essence of AzhwAr's 
mindset:

"ippadi nasai aRRap pOlE thudithuk kidandha idathilum, kulira nOkkudhal, 
vinavudhal, seivAraip pOlE, pERu thammadhAnAl peRuvARkkum, sila seiya 
vENumenRu, irundhAn Agak koNdu, nAn en kAriyam seigai enRu vonRundO, nE seidhu, 
thalikattith tharavEnum engirAR"

Even in the phase of suffering from pangs of separation The Lord did not bless 
the AzhwAr nor enquire about him. On this, AzhwAr thought that The Lord is 
waiting for AzhwAr to do something -fulfill something on his part, is there 
anything for me(us) to do. You have to bless and complete my task is AzhwAr's 
plea.

It is obvious from the above that there is nothing separate like means-which 
only separates us from the Lord(nal vEdu seiyyum-thiruvirutham 95)- and only 
the Lord has to bless and rescue us. This reflects again the great conviction 
of AzhwAr.

The next pAsuram is "vuzhalai .....
kazhalgaL avaiyE charaN Agak koNda kurughOrch satakopan" 5-8-11.

The Lord's thiruvadi is taken refuge by AzhwAr -the thiruvadi which grants the 
desired end and removes the obstacles. This refuge again reflects the great 
conviction vis-a-vis "charaNam prapathyE"
