Decad:42 Chenni-p-paththu (The decad of the Head) Sub -title: Civa Vilaivu (Frution of Bliss) Abstract: All the verses of this decad end with a refrain in which the saint declares in ecstasy that his head will rest eternally at the Feet of the Lord. He has disclosed how this achievement has come about and this appears to be a secret in his spiritual development. The Lord showed him. His Feet saying “Behold These in your frame as Ambrosia wells up and wells up in your body". This feature therfore, is the fruition of Bliss befitting the sub-title of this decad. Further, the saint seems to have expressed how this experience could be gained. He who has hitherto been anxiously pleading to be admitted into the galaxy of His devotees, addresses them to come and worship Him that their bonds may cease to be (10). He announces that the fluorescent Effulgence is unknowable to any whosoever they are, unless they are His true devotees(1) and on them alone He bestows in His Grace, the supreme Bliss (9). In order to sever the bonds, He, entering their minds, offered devout devotion necessary for redemption and as they worshipped His Feet by strewing flowers, He would bestow deliverance and keep them beyond all the three worlds(6). 774
