Summary: The Lord descended on AzhwAr/ in AzhwAr, and granted the

experience through His immense affection akin to parama padham. The

not only assuaged the yearnings of AzhWar but led him to ecstasy.

The Lord bequeathed His undivieded attention to AzhwAr.

Did this grace stop with AzhwAr? No. This flowed down to those who had

the thiruvadi sambandham of AzhwAr to his followers. The voluntary

grace of the Lord flowed to the devotees of AzhwAr-s on just their

qualification of their nexus-with Azhwar.

However, AzhwAr rejected the salvation or the mOksham if it is given

for the sake of Azhwar. AzhwAr considered such a benefit similar to

materialistic ends. Thus AzhwAr stressed on the nature of end.
