<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n AzhwAr<\/a> says that once he reached the dwelling place of emperumAn<\/a> [thirumalai] his divine mind went running towards emperumAn just as a creeper would go in search of a supporting pole. In the previous pAsuram, AzhwAr spoke about how emperumAn dwells in thirumalai and mercifully showers his grace. Since that abode is in archAvathAram (emperumAn in deity form)<\/a>, he cannot interact with emperumAn fully. He says that his heart runs searching for emperumAn in paramapadham (SrIvaikuNtam) so that he can interact with emperumAn in all the ways he liked.<\/p>\n Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n padhi amaindhu nAdip paruththezhundha sindhai<\/em> padhi \u2013 in the pious place of thirumalai (not stopping with that) padhi amaindhu nAdi<\/strong> \u2013 standing aptly in thirumalai.
