Of this there is no Thondaradippodiaazhwaar even goes to the extent of saying that he will forgo even Paramapadam in favor of chanting our Lord's name in thirumaalai-2. Thirumaalai-2 pacchaimaa malaipOl mEni pavaLavaay kamalach chenkaN achchuthaa! amara rErE! aayar_tham kozhunthE! ennum, ichchuvai thavira yaanpOy inthira lOka maaLum, achchuvai peRinum vENdEn arankamaa nakaru Laane! Our Aazhwaar feels great joy and bliss in singing the praise of our Lord with words like: "O Lord with a thirumEni like a majestic mountain (pacchaimaa malaipOl mEni)* O Lord with mouth like a beautiful pavaLam (pavaLavaay kamalach chenkaN) achuthaa! (achuthaa means one who does not fail those who embraced Him) O Lord of the nityasuris (amararErE) Jewel of the aayarkulam (aayartham kozhundhE)" Aazhwaar says that the joy that he attains from singing the praise of our Lord is so great that he would not want to give it up even if he were to attain paramapadam. * P.B.Annangaraachaaryaar has a very beautiful explanation as to why aazhwaar uses 'pachchai maamalai' rather than just 'malai'. An ordinary mountain ('malai') can be used as an analogy for the physical beauty of our Lord. But, Aazhwaar uses 'pachchai maa' to qualify the malai to represent our Lord's infinite kindness and especially His quality of granting happiness and bliss for those who see Him.
