ACHARYA HRDHAYAM 211 CONTD. Thus , it is seen that primarily thiru voiz mozhi speaks on a. The nature of the LOrd. b. The nature of the soul c. The means to attain Him. d. The end to be attained and e. obstacles for attaining the service to HIm. These are explained in twenty thiru voi mozhi-s . The other 80 thiru voi mozhi-s are just an extension of this philosophy further. However, it is also stressed that the two aspects namely the means and end are the prime focus. How is this ? "mayaRvara mathi nalam aruLinan" is the commencement and "vEdu peRRa" is the finish. aruLInan refers to the fact that He has blessed and that is the means. further, "thozhudhezhu en mananE" 1-1-1 of thiru voi mozhi; " sol paNI sei Ayiram" indicate that kainkaryam is the ultimate aim. Hence, both the means- HIm and the end-kainkaryam are the basic subject of thiru voi mozhi. The other three namely, the obstacles are the hurdles in the way to attain this kainkaryam; the nature of soul is discussed to understand the characteristics of those who have Him as the means; The subject matter of the whole means and end being the LOrd, He is also discussed. It is thus emphasised that means and end are the prime focus while other three aspects , Lord,soul and obstacles are the supplementary points while discussing the above two. vanamamalai padmanabhan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
