In the fifth decad, AzhwAr<\/a> explained the nature of bhakthi [yOgam] which is a tool for enjoyment, and to explain further about the qualities of such bhakthi, highlights the following aspects about the worshippable sarvESvaran:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. his distinguished name, which is the identity for the [distinguished ashtAkshara] manthram<\/li>\n
  2. his having qualities which are revealed in the meanings of the name<\/li>\n
  3. his activities such as creation<\/li>\n
  4. his reclining on the ocean as a refuge for others<\/li>\n
  5. he being the grantor of liberation<\/li>\n
  6. his easy approachability for the sake of protecting others<\/li>\n
  7. he being the means and goal,<\/li>\n
  8. he being enjoyable for great personalities<\/li>\n
  9. he being easily approachable for those who fully seek nothing but him<\/li>\n
  10. his greatness in protecting his devotees<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Meditating upon these aspects, AzhwAr says “If one enjoys such sarvESvara, meditating upon the principles highlighted in the aforementioned manthra, worshipping him with materials such as flowers, with all the three faculties (mind, body and speech), all the hurdles will go away on their own; ultimate goal will also be attained” and briefly concludes the process of bhakthi yOgam which leads to the goal, to be understood clearly.<\/p>\n

    In the previous decad, AzhwAr explained how bhakthi [yOgam] led to its goal; AzhwAr sees that emperumAn is not patient to let the process work and is eager to take AzhwAr to paramapadham; that is – what is said in thiruvAimozhi 9.10.5 “maraNamAnAl<\/em>” (on death) is considered to be too long by emperumAn, and does not wait till that time and desires to take AzhwAr to paramapadham – thinking about this, AzhwAr thinks further “as it is inevitable for me to leave, as the residents of this world should know the mood and activities of bhakthimAns (devotees practicing bhakthi yOgam), let us advice them”. AzhwAr is as merciful as emperumAnAr [Though emperumAnAr is after AzhwAr, since AchAryas have closer proximity with emperumAnAr, they can relate to AzhwAr by comparing him with emperumAnAr]. AzhwAr thinks “Why should they be missing out on this?” and started giving advice on the nature of such bhakthi; since emperumAn is eagerly waiting to take AzhwAr to paramapadham, and since those who listen to this should become faithful, AzhwAr made the pAsurams brief and started instructing the following aspects:<\/p>\n
