But for that emperuman decided to show the qualities of the samsara to azhwar and hence showed azhwar the samsAric difficulties. Azhwar was thereby highly frightened and hence in the ‘mAttramula’ padhigam he expresses his fear showing a number of examples. Azhwar says that ‘he feels like an ant which has been caught in-between two burning wood pieces’ and that ‘he feels like the tree at the bank of the river’ and that ‘he feels like staying along with a snake under a single roof’ and hence called emperuman for help. “evar eppadi koopidachcheidEyum, prajai koopidA nirkkachcheidEyum Amamattru pasikkun thanaiyum sOridAdha thAyai pOlE, thannai anubhavikkaikkeedAna vidAi pirakkaikkeedAga Eshwaran mugam kAttAdhozhiya, oru kshanamum dharikka mAttAdhapadiyAlE, peruvidAi pattAr. NeerilE vizhuvadhu neerai kudippadhu, neeraiyErittukkolvadhAmA pOlE, evarum avanai vAyAlE pEsiyum, thalaiyAlE vanangiyum, nenjAlE ninaiththum dharippOm endru pArththu adhilE upakramiththAr – ThirukkurundhAndagaththilE. PeruvidAyarkku kudiththa thanneer ArAdhE menmElum vidAyai pirappikkumA pOlE adhu pazhaiya abhiniveshaththikku uththambhagamAi, ThiruvezhukoottritukkaiyilE “ninadiyinai panivan varumidar agala mAttrO vinaiyE” endru ArththarAi sharanam pukkAr……..” Inspite of azhwar’s rescue call, emperuman refused to come like a mother who waits for the child to get good hunger before she feeds the kid. Emperuman wanted to make azhwar’s wish to have the darshan of emperuman, to be enhanced and full-fledged and hence didn’t show his face to azhwar. Not being able to withstand his separation from perumal any more, azhwar tried to sustain himself by talking about the lord with his mouth, prostrating to the divine feet of emperuman with his head and engaging his mind in the divine thoughts of emperuman just like a man who is in great thirst falling into the river, drinking the water and showing his great happiness by splashing the water all over the place, in his second prabhandham – ThirukkurundAndagam. When a man in great thirst drinks water his thirst is further aggravated making him to drink more and more water similarly azhwar who enjoyed the kalyana gunas of emperuman in the second prabhandam wanted to enjoy more and more of the same anubhavam further and hence continued to sing the third prabhandam, Thiruvezhukoottritukkai where azhwar surrenders by saying, “I will fall into your feet oh! Lord, protect me from all hurdles”.
