37. Pidiththa Paththu God condescended to enter into his reasoning mind and showed His Feet(37:7); He occupied his thinking mind as His shrine and bestowed immeasurable Bliss on him (37:6). He had been much more solicitous than a mother who suckles her child with thoughtful and timely care in increasing in him the inner light that his very flesh melted in ecstasy and in squirting in him the never drying honey of bliss (37:9). The moment God bestows that unique love on him the inner light in him increases to glow (31:9). That light develops more and more by His Grace (8:18). It is this light of grace that the saint desired for to see by thawing and melting (25:4). As his flesh and bones melt out of love for Him, His Light of Grace shines in brilliance. The saint visualizes this light as God and exclaimes, “Oh Light which gleams in my mind! Oh Image of profuse Flame Whose splendour no tongue can tell! Oh Love Who bestowed the quintessence of Yourself! (37.5) Not-only is He resplendent as Effulgence to his eyes but tastes as delicious Ambrosia, thereby He has very graciously bestowed on him perfect Civan-hood. Therefore he extols, “Oh Civaperuman I have caught hold of You upon this earth firmly 1" (37:3), depicting his experience of supreme Bliss during deliverance. Such a kind of sacred salvation signifies the content of the sub-title of this decad. 47
