On this day, emperumAnAr ascends into sUrya prabhai in the morning and chandhra prabhai in the evening. Just like emperumAn who can dispel all darkness, emperumAnAr also can do the same. This can be seen in today's uthsava vaibhavam where emperumAnAr ascends into the same vAhanams emperumAn uses during his uthsavams.
