Decad: 34 Uyirunni-p-paththu Decad of life-consuming consciousngss" Sub-title: Civaanandam Meliduththal (Welling up of Bliss of Civan) Abstract: The saint feels depressed that he is bearing in vain the burden of his frame of flesh while the heaven-dwellers perform devoted and penitential meditation (10). He feels vexed and says, “Who am I to embrace His Feet?”(2) However, he makes bold and asks, “Shall I, though a sinner, implore to bestow Yourself on me?”(10). He says that he does not know the trick played on him by the Sage of Thirupperunthurai as He has made him God-mad and has transcended his mind and speech. He sings, “I do not know myself as I? I do not know the recurrence of even day and night !”(3). He expresses in very clear terms that the Lord has entered his body, melted his very bones and He has established Himself there in his mind and in his eyes(4) filling up his body and soul without leaving any space(6) and would not part from him any day whatever(1). He exclaims that God has not only - eternally established Himself in his heart but also stands transformed! (9) The saint is extremely delighted at this supreme spiritual state of ecstasy and is overwhelmed with Bliss. 694
