Vyakhyana Saram:
May be Azhvar cannot experience such an act of the Lord;
would Rudra with his great knowledge and capacity to teach
others as Dakshinamurthy understand Him? Azhvar replies -
"I gained the flawless knowledge by His grace and even I
am unable to fathom His greatness; how is it that Rudra,
who gained knowledge and power through penance, assume
that he can understand Him and even begin to teach others
about it?"
