Those who seek the Lord are of two types: those who follow siddhOpAya and those who follow sAdhyOpAya. They are also known as paragatasvIkAra nishtar and svagatasvIkAra nishtar. As mentioned in Nayamatmashruti "yamEvaishavruNutE tEna labhya:", those who are sought by Him will not fail to gain eternal service. Such devotees no longer need to perform any austerities to attain Him. They are described as "seydha vELviyar vaiyaththEvar" by Nammazhvar in his Thiruvaymozhi (5-7-5).
It is this uttamAdhikAri who has completed everything (nOtru) and now performs service forever without any separation (suvargam puguginRa), who is described by Andal in this pasuram in the very first line.
So, where is the experience of the divyadesam of Thirukkatkarai in this pasuram? In his pasuram for this divyadesam, Nammazhvar says "vArik koNdu ennai vizhunguvan kANil enRu, ArvuRRa ennai ozhiya ennil munnam pAriththu, thAn ennai muRRap paruginAn, kAr okkum kAtkarai appan kadiyanE" (Thiruvaymozhi 9-6-10). This is a description of the same adhikAri that Andal has done in this pasuram.
In addition, Azhvar describes this divyadesam as "theruvellAm kAvikamazh thirukkAtkarai" (Thiruvaymozhi 9-6-1). That is, this divyadesam carries a very fragrant smell. This pasuram of Andal carries the fragrance of the divine Tulasi ("nARRath thuzhAy mudi").
Thus, the divyadesam of Thirukkatkarai s experienced in this pasuram.
