The stage of para-bakthi was explained in the sUthram 230 as having expressed of seeing the Lord through his inner and outer eyes. The stage of para-gnAnam was explaine din sUthram 231 as the ultimate knowledge of being with fellow srEvaishNavites. In this sUthram, the ultimate -passionate-emotional bakthi is stated as "mudindha avA" thiruvoimozhi 10-10-11; Having desired and longed for the Almighty AzhwAr screamed for the Lord. He swore on the name of the Lord and pirAtti and stopped Him from leaving. This culminated into the Lord's desire encompassing and engulfing the big AzhwAr's desire. This is parama-bakthi as mentioned in the final thiru-voi-mozhi 'muniyEA" 10-10. That was para-bakthi, para-gnAnam and finally parama-bakthi-the three divine stages of swAmi nam-AzhwAr.
