He created heaven for enabling dhEvas (celestial entities) who have done more puNya than pApa to live. AzhwAr thought all along that there was no purpose for the four directions east, west, north and south. Now he has realised the reason for creating these four directions. He has realised that the purpose of creating chEthanas is only to make them long for mOksham (liberation), the purpose of creating the worlds is to enable jIvAthmAs to live and the purpose of creating the directions is for keeping his divine head and divine feet so that the chEthanas get a taste for mOksham.<\/p>\n<p><strong>kudadhisai mudiyai vaiththu<\/strong> \u2013 in order to benefit the western direction, he kept his divine head adorned with the crown that indicates that he is the Lord of both nithyavibhUthi (spiritual realm) and leelAvibhUthi (materialistic realm). Just as <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/nammazhwar\/\">nammAzhwAr<\/a> had called out in thiruvAimozhi 3.8.1 \u201c<em>mudiyAnE<\/em>\u201d \u2013 one with the divine crown, keeping his quality of being the Lord, he kept his divine head in the west direction so that those in the west direction would prosper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>kuNadhisai pAdham nItti<\/strong> \u2013 nammAzhwAr had called his divine feet in thiruvAimozhi 3.8.1 as \u201c<em>mUvulagum thozhudhEththum sIradiyAn<\/em>\u201d \u2013 one with the beautiful divine feet which are worshipped by people in all the worlds. He stretched such divine feet, which are the refuge for all worlds to prosper, in the eastern direction. <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/thondaradippodi-azhwar\/\">AzhwAr<\/a> points out that <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a> stretched his divine feet all the way to thirumaNdangudi (AzhwAr\u2019s place of birth) in order to attract him. When the western direction, which was the direction in which dhuryOdhana sat [in krishNavathAram, when dhuryOdhana went to seek help of krishNa, he sat near his head] itself prospers, is it required to say that the eastern direction in which he stretched his divine feet, where arjuna sat, will also prosper? It is pertinent to note here that <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/parasara-bhattar\/\">parAsara bhattar<\/a> [<a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/kurathazhwan\/\">SrI kUraththAzhwAn<\/a>\u2019s son] used to tell his disciples \u201cwhenever <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/alavandhar\/\">ALavandhAr<\/a> [one of our important preceptors]went to worship periya perumAL, he would never stand near his divine head which he used to call as dhuryOdhana\u2019s position. There was not a spot on the eastern side, towards emperumAn\u2019s divine feet, where ALavandhAr had not stood while worshipping him\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>vadadhisai pinbu kAtti<\/strong> \u2013 the northern direction is inhabited by people who are proficient in tough samskritham (Sanskrit language) and where AzhwArs\u2019 bhakthi (devotion) laden words are not much heard of. To correct the people in this direction, he wanted to show his back side rather than the front as his back is considered to be more beautiful than the front. As said in these words \u201d<em>pUrvAngAdhadhikaparAnkhakalaham<\/em>\u201d \u2013 the back side of <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a> is more beautiful than his front side&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>thendhisai ilangai nOkki<\/strong> \u2013 Until now, in each of the directions he kept one part of his dhivya thirumEni (divine physical body) in order to remove the purposelessness in those directions. He looked at the southern direction to remove the shortcoming in him. The others were the help that he rendered out of his mercy. This (looking in the southern direction) is the help that he rendered himself to overcome his powerless state. <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/kulasekarazhwar\/\">kulaSEkara AzhwAr<\/a> in his perumAL thirumozhi 1.10 said \u201canbodu thendhisai nOkkippaLLikoLLum\u201d \u2013 lying down, looking at the southern direction with affection. <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a> looks at the southern direction which is the dwelling place of his protector vibhIshaNa. <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/periyazhwar\/\">periyAzhwAr<\/a> in his periyAzhwAr thirumozhi 4.9.2 says \u201c<em>mannudaiya vibIdaNarkA madhiLilangaith thisai nOkki malar kaN vaiththa ennudaiya thiruvarangaRku<\/em>\u201d \u2013 after removing the hurdles for vibhIshaNa, emperumAn gave the kingdom to him and lying at SrIrangam, he is looking at the way in which vibhIshaNa is ably ruling lankA. This is similar to how a mother who is nursing her infant, looks at the infant\u2019s cheerful face. <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/thirumangai-azhwar\/\">thirumangai AzhwAr<\/a> said in periya thirumozhi 6.8.5 \u201c<em>selva vibIdaNaRku vERAga nallAnai<\/em>\u201d \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a> has special affection towards vibhIshaNa who was blessed by <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sri-mahalakshmi\/\">pirAtiti<\/a>. When sugrIva threatened to walk out with his army of monkeys should SrI rAma accept vibhIshaNa, SrI rAma said \u201ceven if I have to forego you and your army, I will not let down vibhIshaNa\u201d. This is similar to a cow, in order to protect its calf that it gave birth to that day, pushes aside the calf which is older, with its horns and hoofs. When that sugrIva did something which could have resulted in harm to him, SrI rAma said \u201c<em>thvayi kinchith samApannE kim kAryam sIthAyA mama <\/em>I <em>bharathEna mahAbhAhO! lakshmaNEna yavIyasA<\/em> \u00a0<em>SathrugnEna cha Sathrugna! svaSarIrEna vA puna:<\/em> II\u201d \u2013 Oh, sugrIva with long arms! If something shameful had befallen you, what benefit would I get through sIthA or bharatha or lakshmaNa or Sathrugna? Oh warrior who kills enemies, what benefit would I get out of my own body? Such was rAma\u2019s affection towards sugrIva. But his affection for vibhishaNa was greater than that which he had towards sugrIva and hence he is lying in SrIrangam, looking in the direction of vibhIshaNa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>kadal niRak kadavuL<\/strong> \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a>, who is constantly desired by nithyasUris, is lying in wait for a <em>samsAri <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/06\/thathva-thrayam-chith-who-am-i\/\">chEthanan<\/a><\/em> (a sentient entity in samsAram). Since his physical form removes the ennui of beholders like an ocean, AzhwAr refers to him as \u201c<em>kadal niRakkadavuL<\/em>\u201d In a way the ocean may match his physical form, but his <em>aprAkrutha thirumEni<\/em> (his divine physical form composed of upanishaths and not the 5 elements that our bodies are composed of) goes beyond the ocean.

His form has enslaved someone like me who is totally under the control of body and senses and who is the epitome of all that is low.<\/p>\n<p><strong>aravaNaith thuyilumA kaNdu<\/strong> \u2013 Just as a gemstone\u2019s value goes many times higher after being fixed on a gold ornament, <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s form became incomparable after lying on AdhiSEsha.<\/p>\n<p><strong>udal enakku urugumAlO<\/strong> \u2013 after seeing emperumAn\u2019s thirumEni (divine physical form) lying on AdhiSEsha, instead of enjoying that, AzhwAr\u2019s body is melting. rAmAnujar in <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2016\/01\/saranagathi-gadhyam-12\/\">SaraNAgathi gadhyam 12<\/a> says \u201c<em>bhagavath svarUpa thirOdhANakarIm<\/em>\u201d \u2013 the body hides the basic nature of bhagavAn. Such a body, which hides emperumAn\u2019s svarUpam is now melting after seeing his divine form. brahma sUthram 3.2.5 says \u201c<em>dhEhayOgAdhvA sO\u2019pi<\/em>\u201d \u2013 the reason for <a href=\"https:\/\/granthams.koyil.org\/2013\/03\/06\/thathva-thrayam-chith-who-am-i\/\">chEthana<\/a>\u2019s svarUpam being hidden is because of its connection with the( gross and subtle forms of) the body. Thus, the body which is supposed to hide the knowledge of AthmA, is not only enjoying the divine form of <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a> but is melting as a result of that joy. When samsAris who came with AzhwAr to worship <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">periya perumAL<\/a> said that their bodies are not melting, AzhwAr responds <em>enakku urugumAlO<\/em> \u2013 see, it is melting for me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>enseygEn ulagaththIrE<\/strong> \u2013 looking at the samsAris who, without showing any difference, are leaving in a firm manner after looking at the beauty of periya perumAL, AzhwAr asks them \u201cwill you not tell me the way to be steady like yourselves?\u201d He cannot ask the other AzhwArs for a remedy as they too are like him when it comes to having dharSan of periya perumAL (they are also like a leaking boat which sinks along with another boat which came to its rescue since the second boat had a bigger hole).
