6.The Transformation Let us trace how God transformed the corporal body of the Saint Maanickavaachagar into a body of Bliss. This is actually the formation and development of ambrosia in his body even displacing the marrow of his bones. The saint wonders whether there is any other marvellous deed akin to what God has done in him. Ridding him of all fears He made his heart to thaw and entered it making ambrosia well up in it (5:29), as He is Ambrosia in the minds of those who thaw and melt for Him (4:142). He has sung that His jewelled flowery Feet entered in him, softened his mind and made ambrosia well up in it (23:1), (22:1). God entering in him that he may no longer be tossed about by birth and death, bestowed His grace on him, by ordaining a mysterious flow of marvellous ambrosia in his body. So he sings “Oh! My owner You have bestowed your Grace-filied ambrosia and Ihave guipedit. But I choke as I am not destined to swallow the ambrosia due to my Koroa. Give me honey-like water to drink as I am suffering. This slave is Your Protege” (24:10). He has disclosed the great secret of his achievement here. “The Lord abiding in Thirupperumthurai showed me His Feet saying, “Behold these in your body as ambrosia welling up and welling up in its "Our heads will rest and flourish at such perfect rosy Feet (42:5)”. “He ordained sweet ambrosia to collect in the hair roots of my body" (3:170). “He pumped streams of marvellous ambrosia right into the cavities of my bones” (3:174). He fabricated for me an ecstasy-bubbling body as if with a melting heart punpigg pure honey of His Mercy mixed with sweet Ambrosia” (3:175-173). % * Hiroo pointed out to the saint to behold His F-ei i: inn a a...brosia wells up in his body, the transformation of hood into a ceiestial body to rejoice and 54
