dear bhAgavathAs,

In this decade of thiruvAymozhi, just as samsAris consider that 
everyone in this world enjoy material things similar to themselves, 
AzhvAr thinks of all the things in the world as being suffering from 
the seperation (vislEsha) from emperumAn just as He is troubled by 
the separation from the Lord. He addresses the stork (naarai), the 
anril bird (anril patchi), sea, wind, moon etc, and thinks that their 
properties are not because they are natural to them, but are because 
of their separation of the Lord, and he feels pity for them! He 
thinks of each one of them having the same properties as himself, and 
asks "Did you also get unhappiness because you were desirous of 
the Lord and His things, and you did not get it?". Thus, in this 
thiruvAymozhi, AzhvAr brings out one guNa of the Lord known as 
unmAtAvahatvam - the property of overhelming the minds of His 
devotees (pichchERap paNNumavan).


thiruvAymozhi nURRandhaadhi 11

vaayun thirumaal maRaiya niRka * aaRRaamai
pOi vinji mikka pulambudhalaay * aaya
aRiyaadhavaRROdu aNaindhu azhudha maaRan*
seRivaarai nOkkum thiNiNdu.

nammAzhvAr - who has the state of being in sadness and crying because 
the Lord, whose natural svabhAvam is to be available to His devotees, 
was not appearing in front of nammAzhvAr,  embraces the things of 
this world and considers them to be his fellow sufferers, will bless 
those who surrender to him.

The Lord who has qualities like superiority, the quality of mixing 
just like water with his devotees and beauty is present in archa form 
in various divyadEsams so that those who were born later do not lose 
Him. Of such divyadEsams, one of the best is thiru-k-kuRungudi. 
Here, nammAzvhAr did not get the complete anubhavam of the Lord, and 
because of that his mind becomes overwhelmed. He then talks about 
stork, anril bird, sea, smell, sky, moon, darkness, lamp as being 
suffering just as himself, and sings about them in this thiruvAimozhi 
vaayum thirai ugaLum. This AzhvAr, who once suffered from separation 
from the Lord, will not allow the devotees to attain the same state 
of separation.
