In this way, seeing azhwar highly immersed in the divine qualities of the 
emperuman in the divya deshas perumal wanted to take him to his divine 
abodewhere azhwar will get the ultimate anubhavam for the deep love and 
passionhe had towards emperuman. But for that emperuman decided to show the 
qualities of the samsara to azhwar and hence showed azhwar the samsAric 
difficulties. Azhwar was thereby highly frightened and hence in the 
?mAttramula? padhigam he expresses his fear showing a number of examples. 
Azhwar says that ?he feels like an ant which has been caught in-between two 
burning wood pieces? and that ?he feels like the tree at the bank of the river? 
and that ?he feels like staying along with a snake under a single roof? and 
hence called emperuman for help.

Inspite of azhwar?s rescue call, emperuman refused to come like a mother who 
waits for the child to get good hunger before she feeds the kid. Emperuman 
wanted to make azhwar?s wish to have the darshan of emperuman, to beenhanced 
and full-fledged and hence didn?t show his face to azhwar. Notbeing able to 
withstand his separation from perumal any more, azhwar triedto sustain himself 
by talking about the lord with his mouth, prostrating to the divine feet of 
emperuman with his head and engaging his mind in the divine thoughts of 
emperuman just like a man who is in great thirst falling into the river, 
drinking the water and showing his great happiness by splashing the water all 
over the place, in his second prabhandham ? ThirukkurundAndagam. When a man in 
great thirst drinks water his thirst is further aggravated making him to drink 
more and more water similarly azhwar who enjoyed the kalyana gunas of emperuman 
in the second prabhandam wanted to enjoymore and more of the same
anubhavam further and hence continued to sing the third prabhandam, 
Thiruvezhukoottritukkai where azhwar surrenders by saying, ?I will fall into 
your feet oh! Lord, protect me from all hurdles?.
