Summary: AzhwAr desired to attain the holy feet of the Lord at the

earliest. This was seen in the last posting. What type of 'thiruvadi'

is this? is the description now being given. This divine feet, blessed

one and all - without discerning betweeen good and bad souls. There

was no distinction between vashistA and chandAlan. Everyone was

graced by this divine feet. When? When the Lord Almighty measured all

the worlds. This is likened to a mother embracing a child when the

child is sleeping. The parental protection is stressed here - which

the child might not realise, in fact. What are these attributes?

 

The Lord who graces one and all out of His voluntary affection

reflects----> vAtsalyam--motherly love.

The Lord who presents in form in person in this world reflects---->

saulabhyam--easy accessibility.

Since the Lord is rescuing the souls out of His volition reflecting

that He is the owner of the souls--swAmithwam-The Lord of one and

all.

The great deed of the Lord Almigthy reflecting His extraordinary

strength and knowledge--gnAnam and shakthi.

 

Thus, it is elaborated here that all the attributes which behove

paramAthmA who is precisely appropriate and the only one whose divine

feet is the feet for being surrendered.

 

Thus, the emphasis is on AzhwAr surrendering in the divine feet of the

Lord who conqured all the worlds with His holy feet---mirrorring all

the attributes which has to be in the feet in whose feet one is to

surrender.
