adimaith thozhil pUNdAyEa

swAmi nam-AzhwAr has celebrated for having got the opportunity to serve the 
Lord-'vuRREAn vugandhu paNi seidhu". 

Similarly, thiurmangai AzhwAr greatly appreciates his mind for having involved 
himself in service to the Lord.

 thirumangai AzhWar sees around. Several souls think in contrast to vEdhic 
truths.  They end themselves in doom. 

Sri kaliyan thinks aloud that all this interest and involvement in this great 
bhagavath vishayam, interst-ruchi are all because of the Lord. 

This makes him happy and he celebrates this fact along with his mind.- tham 
thiru-vuLLathOdEa kUdi iniyar AgiRAr.

Who are those who think in contrast to vEdhic truths?

This can be seen from the 5th, 6th and seventh pAsuram
-buddhists: 'pongu bhOdhiyum, piNdiyumudai budhhar nONbiyar, paLLi-vuLLuRai.." 
2-1-5;
These buddhists and samaNar-s attribute prime importance to asOkA and arasA 
trees;

-The samaNar-s/amaNars- who shave off their head-hair and who pamper their 
physical body by earting full; Oh!my mind fortunately you have attained the 
service of the Lord.
"thuvari Adaiyar mattaiyar samaN thoNdargaL maNdi vuNdu pinnarum"2-1-6;

-The people who determine things by only logic without vEdhic basis and push 
curd rice disproprotinate to their size and devour with great difficulty and 
breed their physique.
"tharukkinAl samaN seidhu sORu thaN thayirinAl thiraLai.." 2-1-7;

 'Unlike these souls,(thaRkar, samaNar, buddhar and the likes) Oh! mind, It is 
very fortunate that we have ended up in serving the Lord. What a great thing?'
 This is the essence of the first thiru-mozhi of the second ten, where AzhwAr 
again and again proclaims that he embarks on service to the Lord with full 
interest and mentions in rejoices for this at the end of each and every pAsuram:

Then, should we also in these groups - proclaim with vigour :
'adimaith thozhil pUNdAyEA'
