(i) Śrī Nampiḷḷai elucidates the context of this song, as follows:
Finding the Āzhvār in an extremely critical condition, the Lord calls upon him to enjoy His Iconic Form in Tiruvēṅkaṭaṃ and sustain himself. Thereupon, the Āzhvār feels greatly relieved and gives vent to his sense of relief, in this song.
(ii) Being away from the Lord is as gruesome as suffering
In this tenth pāśuram, the culmination of the decad, our divine preceptors reveal the glorious intervention of emperumān. Having witnessed the Āzhvār's profound state of hopelessness, as expressed in the lament "eṅgu inith thalaippeyvan" ("How am I to attain the goal?"), Sriman Nārāyaṇa perceived that His devotee could no longer endure the agony of separation.
