that bhagavAn is vasuh because He dwells in the hearts of His devotees as He
is pleased even with the slightest of devotion. SrI v. v. rAmAnujan refers us
to nammAzhvAr's tiruvAimozhi 8. 8. 1, where he declares this saulabhyam of
perumAL: kaNgaL Sivandu peria vAi…. . on Sa'ngu gadai vAL AzhiyAn oruvan
aDiyEn uLLAnE (The one unique Lord shines as my soul's soul inside me). Sri
rAmAnujan's anubhavam is that if someone counts number sequentially starting
from one, when they count 26, He will consider that they have finished
counting the 24 tattva-s, and the 25th as AtmA, and when they count the
number 26, He will consider that this person is thinking of Him as the 26th,
and will rush to dwell in this person. If someone casually keeps recalling the
names of familiar hills, and somewhere mention the names of tirumalai or
tirumAl irum Solai, He will consider this as their recollecting His place, and will
rush to their side. Such is His desire to help the devotee and redeem the
jIva.

name, I am present there. "

because He is the wealth or treasure sought after by great people to the
exclusion of all other wealth - "vAsu-devah sarvam" iti prakAreNa garIyasAm
svayameva dhanam iti vasuh. SrI rAmAnujan points out that these are the
people who consider that "uNNum SORu parugu nIr tinnum veRRilai ellAm
kaNNan" (tiruvAi. 76. 7. 1).
The dharma cakram writer points out that just like a child which gets
distracted with some toys and forgets its mother, we get distracted with the
trivial materialistic wealth often and forget Him; but just as the mother
embraces the child when it cries for her, bhagavAn embraces us when we cry
for Him instead of for the materialistic pleasures, and realize that He is the
wealth of all wealths.
