AchArya Hrdhayam SUthram 226-3

THE EIGHTH TEN

" Arath thzhuvi en vuyirai aRavilai seidha naR sOdhi"


"thalai sirppath thandavadhil kruthanjgadhA pala pradhupagAramAga vEndhar 
thalaivan kanyakA dhAnam pOlEa Arath thazhuvi aRavalai seidha AthmalAbathAlEA 
athEva viLangip paNaithu"

The Lord Almighty becomes very happy and shining on getting the soul -which 
actually, already belongs to Him - of the AzhwAr. The sparkle and splendour 
which adorns the Lord, makes Him multifold - multifarious in His form. This is 
what is termed by AzhwAr as 
" Arath thzhuvi en vuyirai aRavilai seidha naR sOdhi"


AzhwAr recalls the great Grace of the Lord in having getting thiru-voi-mozhi 
being sung through him. Again he expresses the gratitude by submitting his 
self/soul at the feet of the Lord Almighty, forgetting the fact that AzhwAr did 
not submit this earlier on the grounds that this already belongs to the Lord. 
However, akin to janakarAjan presenting sEthA pirAtti to sri rAmA, AzhwAr 
submitted to the Lord and the Lord accepts this with glee. 

Though sEthA pirAtti belongs to the Lord already, sri rAmA accepts her with 
happiness and sparkled. Similarly, the Lord Almighty became brighter and 
glittered after having accepted Azhwar's AnmA-soul. The Lord became embedded 
with splendour and sparkled and multiplied multifold into several shoulders, 
several countenances, several divine eyes, several divine feet and several 
divine names on having repossessed AzhwAr's AnmA.

pAsuram-s:

"malar adip pOdhugaL en nenjathu eppOdhum iruthi vaNanga" --7-10-5--> were the 
emotional outpouring of AzhwAr being the gratitude for having being made him as 
a channel for thiru-voi-mozhi.

"thALgaLai enakkEa thalaith thalaich sirappath thandha pEArudhavi" 8-1-10; The 
gratitude is again expressed in this eighth ten beginning.

"vEandhar thalaivan janaka rAsan" periAzhwAr thiru mozhi 4-1-2 where sEthA 
pirAtti was presented to sri rAmA. Though, sEthA pirAtti incarnated for sri 
rAmA, sri janaka rAjan declared her as his daughter-"iyam sEthA mama sudhA"

Similarly, AzhwAr presents His soul to the Lord and on receiving the Almighty 
bcomes shining and happy and takes multifarious forms
"thOLgaL AyirathAi!mudigaL AyirathAi!thuNaimalar kaNgaL AyirathAi!thALgaL 
AyirathAi! pEArgaL AyirathAi!".

The splendour resulting from this submission of the soul is thus described 
aptly as:
" Arath thzhuvi en vuyirai aRavilai seidha naR sOdhi "
