Summary: The Lord initally made AzhwAr to focus on Him by His sEla guNam. After

having realised the goal of reforming the souls in this world, He wanted to take

back AzhwAr. In this process, however, he forget the purpose and got emotional

entanglement in AzhwAr's physiqe and settled down therein.

 

manam thiruthi--> in the first ten-third thiru-voi-mozhi " vaLavEzhulagin

mudhalAyA " AzhwAr felt that Lord is a very elevated person and himself a small

soul. The Lord Almighty displayed His 'sEla' guNam and mixed with him freely and

made AzhwAr to focus exclusively on Him and Him alone forever and changed

AzhwAr's mind - who initially tried to distance himself considering his

inferiority and Lord's superiority.
