Introduction

When the supreme masters existence, perseverance and predilection are all for the welfare of the devotees oh mind is it not but natural for us to get into the fold of His excellency?

Commentary

(andRu evvulagam nindRu aLandha asavE kol andRu vELukkai erundhu neenagarvAik kidandhAn) The very same supreme Lord who once upon a time measured the worlds with His divine soft feet traversing through the hard mountains and forests, for all our sake in spite of none of us requesting for the same, probably due to the hardship involved later sat in thiruvElukkAi and further to rest better reclined in thiruvekkA.

“thALAl vulagam aLandha asavE kol.....mAvallikENiyAn IinthalaivAi nAgaththanai” (nan.thiru.35)

“nadandha kAlgal nondhavO....kudandhaiyil....kidandhavAru..”(thiruchan-61)

“kodiyAr mAda kOlooragaththum....eppadi thAn neeNdu thAviya asaivO paNiyAyE” (thiruvai 8-3-5)

In the above paasurams, thirumazhi azhvar and nammazhvar sympathitically sing the state of the resting emperumans in the similar lines of peyazhvar

(kEdil seerAnai) The Lord who has flawless, endless divine qualities;

(mun kanjai kadandhAnai) Earlier, during the krishnavatara, the Lord killed kamsa who plotted in many ways to see the end of krishna but reached that end himself. Small krishna effortlessly overcame all the plots of kamsa and finally kicked kamsa out of this world and treated all of us with His divine stories.

(nenjamE kAN) Oh! Mind always contemplate on Him.
