The goal established by AzhwAr<\/a> in this decad is “bhagavAn<\/a> should engage AzhwAr exclusively for his own pleasure like garland, sandalwood paste etc [garland, sandalwood etc have no self-interest, they only exist for the pleasure of bhagavAn; AzhwAr desires for similar state]”.<\/p>\n Here, embAr<\/a> explains – “sarvESvaran engages all three types of chEthanas (sentients) according to their nature; AzhwAr<\/a> says ‘let me also attain the same thing [according to my nature]’ “. mukthas (liberated souls) and nithyas (eternally free souls) enjoy themselves and bring joy to bhagavAn<\/a>;\u00a0 badhdhas [bound souls] bring joy to bhagavAn without themselves enjoying [as they are suffering in material realm]. emperumAn is explained as in thiruvAimozhi 3.10.7 “inbuRum ivviLaiyAttudaiyAn<\/em>” (one who enjoys this sport of creation, sustenance, annihilation etc in the material realm).<\/p>\n When piLLai thirunaRaiyUr araiyar asked embAr<\/a> “Why is AzhwAr<\/a> who is blessed with ‘mayarvaRa madhinalam’<\/em> (pristine knowledge\/devotion) praying in this pAsuram ‘thanakkEyAga enaik kOLLumIdhE’<\/em> (he should engage me for his exclusive pleasure) instead of letting emperumAn<\/a> deal with him as to his satisfaction?” embAr mercifully explained “Good question; SrI mAhAlakshmi never separated from emperumAn in the past; nor will she ever separate from him in the future; yet, even though she is staying right in his chest, she says as in thiruvAimozhi 6.10.10 ‘agalagillEn, agalagillEn<\/em>‘ (I will not leave, I will not leave) – this is because of the greatness of emperumAn; similarly, the desire in the goal (of being engaged for exclusive pleasure of emperumAn) makes AzhwAr<\/a> say these words”. AzhwAr requests emperumAn this (exclusive and total dependence on emperumAn) which is “emmA vIttil emmA vIdu<\/em>” (emmA vIdu decad is the most important decad in thiruvAimozhi, and this pAsuram is the most important pAsuram in the decad), the great wealth for vaishNavas, the most confidential principle expounded in the upanishaths, that which is prayed from emperumAn and attained, that which is apt for the jIvAthmA<\/a>.<\/p>\n enakkE Atchey ekkAlaththum enRu – en<\/em>![\"krishna-gopi\"](\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/krishna-gopi.jpg\")
