The whole tenth Satakam is saluted by Swamy Desikan in his dramiDOpanishad
saaram as “(PraNavam) SatpadavyAm sahAyAya nama:” The Lord is saluted here
as the One, who helps one to attain the residence in His Parama Padham (Sath-
Padhavi). Swamy Desikan connects the key words of each paasuram of this
decad with the appropriate guNam.
In 10.9.1 (SoozhvisumpaNimuhil thUriyam muzhakkina), Azhwar describes the
ghOsham of MangaLa Vaadhyams at the start of this journey. The guNam here
is “svAmitvam”. The Lord is recognized as SvAmi (Lord) to all.
In 10.9.2 (naaraNan tamarik kaNDuhanthu–), AzhwAr refers to the welcome
with poorNa kumbham. The GuNam is nArAyaNatvam (nArAyaNa iti vacasA).
In 10.9.3 (thozhuthanarulakarkaL–), he describes the shower of flowers on
the way. Trivikrama GuNam of measuring the Universe is saluted as
“vishTapAnAm vikramAt”.
In 10.9.4 (ethir ethir Imayavar–), Azhwar notes the upachArams performed by
Agni, Chandran and all the other aadhivAhikAs as a mark of their respect.
Srisatva GuNam (Srimatva guNam) is celebrated based on the Paasura vaakyam:
Maadhavan.
In 10.9.5 (Maadhvan Tamar YenRu–), the warm reception given by VaruNa,
IndhrA and PrajApathis during this journey.The reference here is to
“yAdhavathvAth”. Once again, we have reference to Maadhvan in this Paasuram.
Swamy Desikan recognizes the Lord here as the member of the Yadhu kulam,
which is also known as Madhu Kulam. A scion of this Kulam is the Lord
(Maadhavan).
In 10.9.6 (vELviyuL madutthalum–), the mangaLAsAsanams by dEva rishis, who
are expert in the VedAs and their consorts is accounted for. Paasuram has the
word/salutation: “AzhiyAn”. Swamy Desikan refers to the catru hantAra guNam
of the Lord as “SarathapadhatayA”.
In 10.9.7, The felicitations by all the other devathAs is described
(Madanthayar vAzhtthalum–). Lord’s saulabhyam (ease of access) is celebrated
here with the passage:”SayAnEsmin dvaita:”. The paasuram refers to Sayana
moorthys: “KiDanta em Kesavan” and “KuDantai Kaavalan”.In 10.9.8 (KuDiaDiyAr ivar –), Azhwar arrives here at the divine gates of Sri
Vaikuntam.Kudi is aayar kudi and hence Swamy refers to the naamam “Govindan”
with the expression “GovindAt” to illustrate all the rakshana gunams of the
Lord.
In 10.9.9 (Vaikuntam puhuthalum–), Azhwar crosses the main portal and
experiences the travel inside Parama Padham. The GuNam celebrated is that of
being VaikuNthanAthan. The residents of VaikuNTham are eternally liberated
ones(nithya sooris and MukthAs). The Vaibhavam of vaikuNTham is saluted
therefore as “VaikuNThAdhipa iti vibavAt”.
In 10.9.10 (vidhi vahai–), AzhwAr recieves the additional upachArams of the
Vedic seers and divine damsels. Swamy Desikan salutes the passage of
paasuram: “Vithi vahai puhunthanar” with “prEkshita Ascarya tanvIvyUhai:
sArdhaacanEshTyA”. At the time of crossing the Viraja river, EmperumAn
sends out 500 Nithya Sooris (apsaras ladies), who are described as having
flower garlands on their hands as per Upanishad (Satam MaalA Hasta:).
The eleventh paasuram speaks about the blissful state the AzhwAr was in front
of the Lord and in the company of Nithya Sooris (anthamil pErinbhatthu
adiyarOdu irunthamai). Bhagavaan’s joyous arrangements (kOlAhalam) during
the time of AzhwAr’s ascent is described here. In this concluding 10.9.11
pasuram (Vanthavar ethir koLLa–), AzhwAr enters the ThirumAmaNi
Mandapam, where the Lord is seated on AdiSeshan and His Devis.
