AchArya Hrdhayam sUthram 227-3

THE NINTH TEN
kUvudhal varudhal seiyyAi


"Aruyir ennap paduthina Athma dharsana palAnubhava parambaraiyai kUvudhal 
varudhal enRu muduguvittu.."


What happened in the eighth ten? The Lord out of His grace and affection 
voluntarily blessed AzhwAr with His presence and exchanged Himself with AzhwAr 
which He does so with the nihya-sUrigaL. These experiences were all exchanged 
in the thiru-voi-mozhi 'iruthum viyandhu' in the earlier ten. AzhwAr then 
realised the nature of the soul as explained by the Lord Almighty. The 
sequential and logical fallout is to achieve and fulfill the nature being 
service to the Lord. For this the Lord;'s blessing is necessary. His Graceful 
glance is a must. His divine feet is the need.The service to "Him with His 
consorts" is to be sought after.His affectionate words are the requriement. 
Azhwar desires these and due to the extreme expectation and deep attachment 
towards this, was not able to wait till this got automatically. Hence, Azhwar 
requests the Lord "If I am not to go to YOur divine place and serve You, let me 
be blessed with serving You here in thiru-p-puLingudi".' Call me and give me 
the opportunity to serve YOu' is AzhwAr's scream.


pAsuram-s

The experience with the Lord is elaborated in the thiru-voi-mozhi 
"iruthum viyandhu" 8-7-1;
The Lord's exchange is akin to that with that of nithya-sUrigaL.
"Aruyir pattadhu, enadhuyir pattadhu" 9-6-9.

AzhwAr desired this experience culminating into service to the Lord Almighty 
being the nature of the soul forthwith. This is all reflected in the 
thiru-voi-mohzi "paNdai nALAlEa".

"thoNdarOrku aruLi, vun sOdhi vAi thirandhu, vun thAmariak kaNgaLAl nOkkAi" 
----> 9-2-1--"Oh! Lord, Bless Your disciples by spelling out a few words and 
gracing us with Your divine eyes.
"pAdha pangayamEa thalaikku aNiyAi"--9-2-2---> Your divine lotus feet is the 
adorning ornaments for our heads.
"vun thAmarai mangaiyum nEyum idam koL mUvulagum thozha irundharuLAi" 9-2-3--> 
Please grace us by YOur presence alongwith pirAtti in this world.
"nin pal nilA mutham thavazh kadhir muRuval seidhu, nin thirukkaN thAmarai 
thayanga ninRaruLAi" 9-2-5--> Bless YOur smile to us. Grace us with your divine 
glance.

Instead of watiing for the time to ripe for reaching the Lord,AzhwAr 
immediately desires to meet the Lord Almighty. Hence,AzhwAr wants The Lord in 
this world, and call him to serve 'Him with His consort' in this world.

'nila magaL pidikkum, melladiyai koduvinaiyEanum pidikka, nE oru nAL kUvudhal 
varudhal seiyyAyEA' 9-2-10;


kUvudhal varudhal seiyyAi
