AchArya Hrdhayam 

Recap of Fourth Ten

nAngAm pathu

The prime quality of the Lord dealt in this pathu is the quality of being the 
internal generator/governor of one and all. The fact that the Lord is omni 
presence was seen in the third ten. Unless, one is able to control these, the 
all pervasiveness is not fully uselful. The fact that the Lord is controller of 
one and all is enunciated in this nAlAm pathu.

AzhwAr's desire to experience the Lord at different phases of past times was 
made possible by the Lord - bAlanAi 4-2

AzhwAr's deeds mixed with his organs were themselves accepted by the Lord as 
ornaments in kOvai vAyAl 4-3

However, the feeling of having not attained the Lord surfaces and all the 
things in and around AzhwAr appears like Lord and His related ones which is 
described in 'maNNai irundhu thuzhAvi" 4-4;

To appease this desire, the Lord disclosed the vision of His stance in 
paramapadham with Sri lakshmi and granted the divine vision to Azhwar in 
"vERRirundhu" 4-5;

Further, the futility of appraching the devathAnthram -other deities is 
elaborated in 'thErpArai" ; The futility or incompetence of these are again 
explained in the pAsuram 'ilingathitta";The futility of other philosophies are 
explained in the pAsuram "viLambu ARu samayamum";

Finally, the fact that His divine feet is the ultimate refuge." Service to His 
divine feet is the goal. Go and enjoy this treat" is the counsel by AzhwAr in 
this
nAlAm pathu.
