Decad - 5 Sub-decad : 9 Aanantha Paravasarn (Ecstatic Bliss) Abstract In this sub-decad the saint is exuberant in expressing repeatedly that all those Who have been to His liking have gone to Him and have merged in His Feet (81) and all those Who have become His servants have reached His Feet (83). The devotees have gone to enter the city of Bliss(85) and those devotees Who have done notable service and Who know nothing else than Him arriving at the right path have reached His Feet (86). Many of his devotees have entered the world of no return (87). The saint deplores, “I keep on weeping without following those Who with loving mind towards You melting like wax before fire on seeing Your lightning-like golden Feet worshipped them and followed You. I have been born in vain. By what means shall I serve You? Oh Lord! You in Your grace put far the disease of birth of Your devotees who served You and bestowed on them Your jewelled Feet”.(89). Thus the saint mentions this feature in 7 out of the 10 stanzas comparing his lot of his birth in vain. He is pained that he has been abused as His slave by men of the world and pleads that he cannot bear this insult and suffering amy longer(82) nor can he discard his misery-yielding body(83). However, he expects a ray of hope in the last stanza: “I am myself a lie! My heart is another lie! But if I would weep I could gain You! Oh Honey! Oh Ambrosia! Oh Essence of sugar-cane! Oh great One Who is sweet to me! Bestow on 274
