As said above when there is dearth of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bhagavatas<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it is equally difficult to do service to them.

The nature of the wealthiest in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parankusa <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has three things \u2013 1. Experiencing the Lord, 2.

These three must be there before doing service to Lord, like feeling hungry before taking food. When there is no hunger, the food will not be tasty. \u00a0Likewise, if these three does not exist, our service to Lord is futile. Hence, this word, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Srimath<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> enlightens that Nammalvar possesses those three attributes and its effect of experiencing service to Lord.

Such kind of attribute <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parakala<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> himself mentioned in the hymn <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Periya Tirumozhi<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 4.9.6.

Sita safeguarded the single eyed demons who troubled her in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ashoka vanam<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Likewise Naluran, who is the cause of Kuresa\u2019s loss of sight, was granted liberation by the limitless grace of Kuresa. One can notice the equality of these incidents. In the first <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sloka<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the worship by bowing down head was done in the words <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pranamami murdhana<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
