= Decad: 36 Thiruppaandi-p-pathikam (The sacred decad of Paandi) Sub-title: Civaanandha Viiaivu (The growth of Bliss of Civan) Abstract: In this decad the saint addresses the people of the world in all but the 1st and the 9th verses. The saint has been merciful enough to advise the people who are anxious to sever their rebirth, that this time is the time of all times when God sets out to fell down their vicious cycle of birthgleath and rebirth (4,5,6,9). He declares that the Lord of Paandi is lavishing the contents of His treasure of Grace and calls upon them to come and rush forward well in advance of their time to love God and be redeemed (5,8). The mystic further proclaims to those with hearts to bathe and swim in the flood of Bliss, that the Lord Paandianaar has assumed a form of flood of Bliss that a flood of Bliss may fill the world, and has taken possession of the mind of His devotees, and calls upon them to plunge in the flood of great Bliss and cherish His Feet (3). In this (third) verse, above all others of this decad, one can see the content of the sub-title expressed in clear terms. 715
