avathārikai (Introduction)
Having been deeply immersed in the divine beauty and glories of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s sacred abdomen, the Āzhvār now elevates his divine contemplation, turning his blissful vision towards the Lord's magnificent and sacred chest. This is the very abode of Śrī Mahālakṣmī, the seat of all auspiciousness and the refuge for all souls.
