Sri: Dear Sri Mani, What I had heard is: 1. KooratthAzhwAn, (when ordered by the kirumikaNTa chOzhaking, to his guys to pluck KooratthAzhwAn's eyes for his "dhrONamasthi thatha:param") plucked and removed his eye balls by himself. (can't even imagine, Mani, the torture our Kuresan underwent.. He did that saysing "Having committed a sin of seeing such a guy (who had ordered and poked the eyes of Periya Nambhi and blindede him) my eyes do not deserve to see anything else.. 2. When ordered (or appealed) by his AchArya Ramanuja to go and ask the Lord for eye sight, he could not disobey (though he did not want to ask anything from Emperumaan), and asked NOT for Physical eyesight. BUT for the jnAna eye sight, saying "Give me the sight as is seen by Nithyasooris." (and asked also for Nalooraan- the traitor..) Thus AzhwAn got his Divya chakshush.. (sight..)
