Once <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/nammazhwar\/\">AzhwAr<\/a> said \u201c<em>yAnum ennenjum isaindhozhindhOm<\/em>\u201d (once my heart and I decided to be in harmony), <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a> became very happy. AzhwAr enjoys that beauty on emperumAn\u2019s face. He is asking whether the beauty that he is seeing on emperumAn\u2019s face is the beauty which was there on emperumAn\u2019s face when he measured the worlds with his divine foot or it is the beauty which was there on emperumAn\u2019s face when he measured the skies with his divine head. Alternatively, we can consider that AzhwAr is referring to <em>muththu<\/em> (pearl) which is one of the nine gems. Later in the pAsuram, AzhwAr is referring to <em>seRikazhal<\/em> which is anklet made with pearls. Also, in thiruviruththam 50 <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/nammazhwar\/\">AzhwAr<\/a> mentions about <em>NIL mudi veNmuththa vAsigaiththAy<\/em> (having his crown with white pearls). Hence we can consider that AzhwAr is enjoying the beauty of divine ornaments on emperumAn by asking whether they are the pearls when he measured the divine worlds or they are the pearls when he measured the skies. Since in <a href=\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/index.php\/2018\/06\/munram-thiruvandhadhi-90\/\">mUnRAm thiruvandhAdhi 90<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/peyazhwar\/\">pEyAzhwAr<\/a> mentions about <em>silambum seRi kazhalum<\/em> whereby the pearl which is inside the ornament is manifested outside or in this pAsuram itself, by referring to <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a> wearing anklets which have pearls packed closely, we can consider that pearls are there on the divine foot. Another interpretation for <em>muththu<\/em> is that in samskrutham, <em>muth<\/em> refers to happiness. Thus we can consider that AzhwAr is asking emperumAn whether the happiness on his divine face is due to his measuring the worlds with his divine foot or due to his divine face pervading the skies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>aRigilam<\/strong> \u2013 we are not able to determine this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Al<\/strong> \u2013 How amazing is this!<\/p>\n<p><strong>nediyAy<\/strong> \u2013 AzhwAr calls out to <a href=\"http:\/\/acharyas.koyil.org\/index.php\/sriman-narayanan\/\">emperumAn<\/a> as <em>Oh thrivikrama<\/em>!
