32. Praarththanai-p-paththu c. In the Decad of Vision of the Dance (31) the saint declares in ecstatic exuberance in all the ten verses that he saw the Infinite Bliss in beautiful Thillai. He describes his experience of vision “In the hall in Thillai, I saw Him Who drawing even me--a cur-unto Him and bestowing on me undying love that the light of wisdom may grow in my mind, revoked my Karma, extirpated my (malams) bonds and showed me great Mercy”. (31:9). Having been blessed to visualize Godthus, thesaint in this Decad ofSupplication (32) is highly sensitive and conscious of His devotees gaining His Grace(2,6,7,9,11) and very sensibly prays to bestow upon him true love (3,4,6). He prays to give him that love which His devotees who are close to Him have for Him(8), and who grabbing His grace gather together, dance and laugh in ecstasy and exult in Bliss(11). The saint, becoming vexed when he thinks of his miserable lot, prays, “Thinking that You Yourself will graciously bestow Bliss on me, I remained silent all along without acquainting You of my grief. I have been discarded and I am ruined. Oh Effulgence 1 Decide, at least now to remove my darkness with Your beam of Grace”.(7). He prays to Him to make him melt with love ceaselessly that the sea of His Mercy may overflow in his mind (2) and that he may swell in rapturous Bliss (10-11). 574
