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.
