Decad: 45 Yaaththirai-p-paththu (Decad of the Journey) Sub-title: Anuba vaatheethann Vuraiththal (Relating the transcendental Experience) Abstract : Having gained close acquaintance with His devoted saints who have been called upon to go over to Him and have thereby become His own by love, the saint Maanickavaachagar entreats them to gather together as the appropriate time has dawned (1) to go together (3) and enter the city of Civan (5) keeping watch of His sacred sign (4). He declares that He will put off his body stained with sin, keep us in His land of Bliss and allow us to reach His flower Feet (4) perhaps surely with a different ecstatic form. He points our to have clarity of mind (10) and to pause a little and ponder over, “Who are we? Who is our own? What is the bond about? Why all these delusions?” (3). By way of answering these questions which the saint has raised even in the decad of Thirukkoththumbi (10:2) which deals with the manner of uniting with Civan, he has given us the hint that out of His flood of Grace, He unceasingly mingling with us melts our heart (45:1),Catching hold of His sign alone as our guiding sign. we have to march on the path leading to His golden Feet (3) and reach His Feet with rapturous melting heart(6). This is that transcendental experience contemplated in the sub-title of this decad. ՅԱՅ
