In the sixth pAsuram he expressed his desire to see emperumAn\u2019s divine form by saying \u201c<em>karumAmuRi mEni kAttudhiyO<\/em>\u201d. As a means of fulfilling AzhwAr\u2019s desire, emperumAn showed his divine form to AzhwAr\u2019s heart. Not satisfied with this <em>mAnasa sAkshAthkAram<\/em> (seeing through the mind), AzhwAr expresses his sorrow in this pAsuram saying \u201cI am not fortunate to see his divine form and being embraced by him. The difference between what I desired and what I got is similar to that between a mountain and a molehill. I did not get the experience which my heart obtained\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Let us go through the pAsuram and its meanings:<\/p>\n<p><em>yAmE aruvinaiyOm sEyOm en nenjinAr<\/em><br \/>\n<em>thAmE aNukkarAych chArndhozhindhAr pUmEya<\/em><br \/>\n<em>semmAdhai nin mArbil sErviththup pAridandha<\/em><br \/>\n<em>ammA nin pAdhadhdharugu<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Word by Word Meanings<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>pU mEya sem mAdhai \u2013 periya pirAttiyAr (SrI mahAlakshmi) who was born in a lotus flower and who has a reddish complexion<br \/>\nnin mArbil \u2013 on your divine chest<br \/>\nsEriviththu \u2013 making her unite (during the time of churning of milky ocean for nectar)<br \/>\npAr idandha \u2013 digging out earth (during the time of deluge)<br \/>\nammA \u2013 Oh my swAmy!<br \/>\nnin \u2013\u00a0 your, being the lord<br \/>\npAdhaththu arugu \u2013 near the divine feet<br \/>\nen nenjinAr \u2013 my mind<br \/>\nthAmE \u2013 on his own (without my permission)<br \/>\naNukkarAy \u2013 being a confidante (to emperumAn)<br \/>\nsArndhu ozhindhAr \u2013 attained<br \/>\naruvinaiyOm \u2013 having cruel sins<br \/>\nyAmE \u2013 we<br \/>\nsEyOm \u2013 are at a far distance<\/p>\n<h3><strong>vyAkyAnam<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>yAmE aruvinaiyOm sEyOm<\/strong> \u2013 I, having great sins such that I cannot see you and embrace you, am at a very far distance from you.

Due to this, I too, though did not get what I desired, could get the benefit of enjoying [emperumAn] with my heart. Unlike me who decided to go away from emperumAn since I am not qualified to experience him, my heart, which went ahead of me towards emperumAn, fell head over heels and enjoyed him, thus carrying out the benefit for me, of seeing emperumAn through the mind. Since the heart carried out such benefit for him, AzhwAr is referring to his heart as \u201c<em>nenjinAr<\/em>\u201d (a respectable term).<\/p>\n<p>Through the rest of the pAsuram, <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/nammazhwar\/\">AzhwAr<\/a> gives the reason for his leaving <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a> and for his heart falling head over heels on emperumAn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>pU mEya sem mAdhai nin mArbil sErviththu<\/strong> \u2013 having periya pirAtti (SrI mahAlakshmi) who is residing on a lotus flower, who is of reddish complexion and who has great qualities, to unite with his chest during the time of churning the milky ocean for obtaining nectar. The meaning for this could also be construed as mentioned in <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2018\/06\/thiruvaimozhi-6-10-10-agalagillen-part-1\/\">thiruvAimozhi 6-10-10<\/a> \u201c<em>agalagillEn iRaiyum enRu<\/em>\u201d (not leaving <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a> even for a moment), of having pirAtti always on the divine chest. The reason for mentioning that emperumAn is the consort of pirAtti is to justify his leaving emperumAn who is such a great entity and he, assuming of himself as a lowly entity. At the same time, his heart thinks \u201cShould I lose out on emperumAn when pirAtti is always dwelling on his chest\u201d and hence approaches emperumAn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>pAridandha<\/strong> \u2013 this refers to <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a>\u2019s taking the incarnation as a great boar during deluge and digging out the earth. The opinion here is that this activity is the reason for his leaving emperumAn thinking \u201cIs it appropriate on my part to approach someone who has carried out a super human task?\u201d and, at the same time, for his heart to approach him saying \u201cWhen he is there to uplift lowly people, should I lose out on him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>ammA<\/strong> \u2013 this would refer to his being the supreme entity as well to his being the ordained lord.
