There is Nothing that is Not Mingled with Tirumāl.

திருமாலிடம் கலவாத பொருளே இல்லை

2947 என்னுள்கலந்தவன் செங்கனிவாய்செங்கமலம் *
மின்னும்சுடர்மலைக்கு கண்பாதம்கைகமலம் *
மன்னுமுழுவேழுலகும் வயிற்றினுள *
தன்னுள்கலவாதது எப்பொருளும்தானிலையே.

Simple Translation

2947. The One who has mingled with me sparkles like a dazzling mountain. His mouth, eyes, feet, and hands are as beautiful as red lotuses. His stomach sustains all seven worlds, and there is hardly anything that doesn't converge in Him.

Explanatory Notes

(i) Not only Lakṣmī, Brahmā and Rudra, but whatever exists subsists in Him alone. Even so, it is now made to appear that the Lord cannot subsist except by mingling with the Āzhvār. who has, in this context, given Him yet another name (like Nārāyaṇa Vāsudēva) namely, ‘The one iṇ me mingled’.

(ii) The Lord is in full bloom and joy only after He mingled with the Āzhvār

Detailed Explanation

In this third pāśuram, the Āzhvār reveals a profound theological truth concerning the nature of the Supreme Lord and His relationship with His devotee. Sarvēśvara, who is the very abode and sustainer of all worlds and all entities, including deities such as Rudra, experienced such profound separation from the Āzhvār that He felt His own existence was in peril.
