Alternatively, the words mun ninRu pin thAzhndhu<\/em> could be construed as referring to those who have locks of hair on their front and back sides of head and the creepers would grow on them. In other words, they have locks of hair on front and back sides of their head due to their greatness.<\/p>\n piriyAdhu pUm kodikkaL vaigum<\/strong> \u2013 the creepers, without leaving that place, will carry on with their activities. The creepers will think that if they (who are fully integrated with the path in thiruvEngadam) are human beings, they will move at some point of time or the other and since they are not moving, the creepers will consider them as supporting poles for growing further.<\/p>\n porupunal kunRu ennum vEngadamE<\/strong> \u2013 thirumalai having abundance of streams. This mentions about the waterfalls and springs which are seen in abundance in thiruvEngadam.<\/p>\n pUm kodikkaL vaigum<\/strong> \u2013 vEngadam which has flowering creepers which take residence on the hills.<\/p>\n yAm virumbum veRpu<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr<\/a> says that it is the place that he desires. While those who are carrying out penance in thirumalai would leave their bodies and go to some other world and assume different physical bodies, AzhwAr says that he has reaped the benefit of being born with this body in this world itself and that he desires to enjoy the thirumalai hills.<\/p>\n Let us take up the 54th<\/sup> pAsuram next.<\/p>\n adiyEn krishNa rAmAnuja dhAsan<\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 https:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Full Series << Previous avathArikai AzhwAr says that he has very high regard for thiruvEngadamalai [thirumalai] where emperumAn, who has the nature of showering mercy even on mahAbali, has taken residence so that he could offer himself to everyone.
