They are the ones who tell emperumAn \u201cwe do not want the experience of enjoying you; it is enough if we are able to enjoy ourselves\u201d.

Is it possible for them to experience this in thirumalai? One could say that it is only in SrIvaikuNtam that everyone\u2019s thoughts and words would be aligned. But the nithyasUris, who dwell permanently in SrIvaikuNtam, also come to thiruvEnkatam to enjoy the simplicity of emepeumAn.
