The word <em>mUrthi<\/em> would refer to both wealth and divine form. Here, it refers to wealth, through which it refers to emperumAn\u2019s <em>SEshithvam<\/em> [being the lord of all]. Through this, the relationship is shown wherein while the AthmAs are unaware of, emperumAn, knowing about them, is contemplating the means to protect them, due to his relationship with them. Apart from being the protector for the world which emperumAn has created, AzhwAr mercifully mentions the benevolent act of creating him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The svApadhESam says that through his <em>ananthaSAyithvam<\/em> [the nature of reclining on AdhiSEshan], emperumAn is radiantly manifesting his being the <em>sarvasmAthparan<\/em> [being superior to everyone else], <em>upAyam<\/em> [that he is the means to attain himself] and <em>upEyam<\/em> [that he is the ultimate benefit, for carrying out servitude to him].
