In the earlier thirumozhi<\/em> (4.8), AzhwAr saw the divine qualities and activities of krishNAvathAram, as well as the divine qualities and activities of SrI rAmAvathAram, along with the divine qualities and activities of other avathArams [such as varAha, narasimha et al], shining brightly on periya perumAL. He enjoyed all these, individually. Since thadhIya vishayam<\/em> [the matters regarding emperumAn\u2019s followers or his divine abode] are more acceptable than thath vishayam<\/em> [matters regarding emperumAn himself], AzhwAr enjoyed the eminence of SrIrangam, emperumAn\u2019s divine abode, through many faces. Not being satisfied, despite doing these, desiring to enjoy both again [perumAL and the divine abode], instead of enjoying in the manner in which he had enjoyed in the earlier thirumozhi<\/em>, he looks at the distinguished, divine qualities, activities of periya perumAL through other angles, becoming amazed. In this thirumozhi<\/em>, he enjoys those, along with the distinguished narratives about the divine abode of SrIrangam, from a different perspective from the earlier one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

thiruvAimozhip piLLai, in his svApadhESam, says the following: In the earlier thirumozhi<\/em>, AzhwAr enjoyed about emperumAn\u2019s divine qualities and activities through pAsurams such as \u201cthiruvALan thiruppadhi<\/em>\u201d (4.8.10), \u201curu uruvE koduththAn<\/em>\u201d(4.8.1), \u201ciRaippozhudhil koNarndhu koduththu<\/em>\u201d (4.8.2), \u201cellai illAth thraNiyaiyum avuNanaiyum idandhAn<\/em>\u201d (4.8.8), giving life to the descendent of his nephew, who was like a burnt log as well as lives to the pANdavas, who were the antecedents (4.8.3). AzhwAr says in this thirumozhi<\/em> that it is more difficult to create Athma guNam<\/em> (the qualities of SEshathvam<\/em>, pArathanthryam<\/em> etc] in a person than carrying out these activities, and more difficult than carrying out, through an infinitesimal part of his divine vow, the activities of creation, protection and destruction, giving mOksham<\/em> and controlling a person by remaining as antharyAmi<\/em> [indwelling soul].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
