It is getting closer and AzhwAr till last ten was in the stage of Para bhakthi.

In this ten, he gets into Para jnAnam. The Lord shows him the archiraadhi maargam (way to Parama padham) and AzhwAr is terribly excited and enjoys to a great extent. Let us enjoy this Divine route with AzhwAr. This ten is a virtual multimedia presentation of AzhwArs narration! 1. The vast, well spread clouds in the sky are so happy to see Sri vaishnavas, devotees of Sriman Narayanan, and they raise thunderous noise in joy, like beating the large drums; the deep ocean raise their hands so high and make loud noise (with their waves) and express their happiness on seeing these bhAgawathAs. The seven worlds support them happily. (AzhwAr expresses this scene looking at the Srivaishnavas, who are on their way to Parama padham) 2. The dark clouds (filled fully with rain waters) appear as if they are all PoorNa kumbhams kept in the sky, for welcoming the servants of Sriman Narayanan. The waves are shouting vociferously and gloriously. People in all worlds are decorating with long and beautiful thOraNams (sort of crepe papers or banners) and paid obeisance to them. 3. The Rishis of the respective worlds (on the way) offer incense smoke to the BhAgawathAs (of the Lord who measured the whole universe with His Feet then) and shower flowers on them and paid their obeisance, showing this is way to Vaikuntam. They come in front of BhAgawathAs and welcome them (shouting yecchariga) with open arms Please come ; Please come and stand at both sides, with beaming faces. 4. DevAs welcome the servants of Madhavan and the twelve Suns point at them with happiness, Look at them; Look at them (and be blessed!). The huge sound of Jaya bhErigai (Big Drum) is like the roar of the deep oceans. (Madhavan thamarkkE-means , NampiLLai says: Those who got the recommendation of PiraaTTi as Purushaakaram. Those who got enslaved by Sriya: Pathis Beauty and became His servants. NampiLLai also adds: they are so happily welcomed by dEvAs with Greatest upachaarams, and these SrivaishNavas are never supported or respected to such an extent on the earth and are often ignored. (How true! The worldly people never realise the importance and pristine purity of these Srivaishnavas.) 5. dEvAs stand at the entrance at their respective places and plead, Please come in and bless our places. Please take charge of our places and welcome the Srivaishnavas. The Vedic scholars, Rishis, offer the fruits of their dEva poojAs at the feet of these Srivaishnavas. Kinnarars and Garudars sing meldoiously welcoming them. (Here Vaanavar (dEvAs) word implies VaruNan, Indran, Prajaapathi and others as pointed out by NampiLLai). 6. While the Vedic scholars offer the fruits of their yaaghams, others offer the incense smoke and fragrant saambhirANi smoke to these BhAgawathAs. They blow the Thirucchinnams and Conches. The darting,

bright, shining eyed celestial damsels greeted them kindly and happily. They addressed them as Oh BhAgawathAs who are enraptured by Emperumaan! You rule this dEvalOkam. (NampiLLai says: The earthly person, when gets Bhagawadh Sambhandham, is greeted and glorified even by dEvAs; What a mercy by the Lord!) 7. Emperumaan is Gopalan, who is having His Yoga NidrA on the deep Ocean as Kesava PerumAL. He is the One who shows Himself in reclining posture at Thirukkudanthai, wearing the Most brightest, shining Rathna kireetam on His Head. To this Bhagawaan, these Srivaishnavas, have been serving for ages. The moment these celestial damsels greeted these Srivaishnavas, Ashtavasus and Marudhars have come and started praising them continuously. 8. These Srivaishnavas, for generations, have been serving Govindhan as His servants and are now welcomed by NityasUris, on their way to Parama padham and they reach the entrance of Parama padham. There most beautiful and lovely decorated flags appear on the tall ramparts of Srivaikuntam Gopurams (towers). (In the seventh pAsuram, AzhwAr said Srivaishnavas served the archAvataar of the Lord as Thirukkudanthai ArAvamudhan while here he refers to the Vibhava avataar as Govindhan). 9. When the servants of Sriman Narayanan, Srivaishnavas, enter into Srivaikuntam, the Gate keepers (Koil kaapaan) immediately welcome them and admire them for their bhakti and servitude to Emperumaan, and tell them These Srivaishnavas belong to Sri Vaikunta Nathan; Hence, they are our masters and shall rule us herafter and welcome them. When this was going on, and they all entered, those kaimkaryaparars (who are performing their kaimkaryams with Ekaagra chinthana and fully concentrated on their kaimkaraym to the Lord) and other dEvAs who were enjoying the Lords GuNAnubhavams, have started welcoming these Srivaishnavas. They all are greatly excited and happily addressed them as From earth, they have come here; It is their MahA BhAgyam! (adadaaa! From the earth, coming to Srivaikuntam is so difficult- and they have done it! Only by the strength of grace of Lord, and of our AchAryAs, it can happen!) 10. The NityasUris, said Due to our BhAgyam, they all have come here and from their respective locations/places, they washed and cleaned the Feet of BhAgawathAs with enthusiasm and happiness. The beautiful damsels welcomed them with the Thiruvadi nilai (slippers for them), SrIchoorNam, PoorNa kumbhams, and MangaLa viLakku. 11. These BhAgawathAs Srivaishnavas- servants of Sriman Narayanan- who are welcomed by Parama padhanAthan Bhagawaan Sriya athih Sriman Narayanan and VishNu pathni Periya PiraaTTi Sri MahALakshmi Themselves, joined the other Greatest NityasUris at ThirumaamaNi MaNdapam and ATTAINED ENDLESS, UNBOUNDED ABSOLUTE GREATEST BLISS OF PERFORMING ETERNAL KAIMKARYAM TO THE LORD. About this, Sri SadagOpar has sung in

this ten of his 1000 pAsurams, and readers of these ten will sure to become sages.
