Sri: Dear Sri Mani, Thanks for sharing that. It is really moving and touching to hear about our Lord's Sowlabhyam. AzhwAr had melted at His Sowlabhya GuNAs. NammAzhwAr fainted for six months, it is told after he uttered the ThiruvAymozhi line "etthiRam iNaindhiRandhEngiya yeLivE! (relishing the Lord's sarva sowlabhyathavam of showing His Divine Body to the earthly gifted mother YashOdha for being tied down to mortar with a rope on His waist for His mischief. Thiruvaranga PerumAL Araiyar, whenever he uttered ThiruvAymozhi line, "VandharuLi en nenjidankOnda vaanavar kozhundhE!" (The Cheif of Devas has come on his own and entered into my heart.. ), he used to have his voice choked and could not proceed to utter the next lines.. Bhattar also used to be moved with tears rolling down his cheeks, when NanjIyar utters this line... What anubhavam! What a Sowlabhyan! aNdarkOn aNiyarangan en amudhanik kaNda kaNgaL are still seeing all other things! What a "great" (?) person am I!
