Dear Sri Padmanabhan Swamy,

 

Thanks for the clarification. Now it is clear. I did confuse between

the two pAsurams. From your message it is clear that the

Thirumazhisai Azhwar pAsuram is for the soul in this world and the

Thiruvaimozhi is on the sould in paramapadham.

 

Great and lucid explanations. Thank you once again.
