I wish to celebrate that parama BhAgyam with a krithi set in the majestic NaatAi raagam that rmeinds one of the ghOsham of the Kodhandam of Sri Raghuveeran on the battle front in action . I conclude this kruthi with a personal prayer in gadhyam style from the divya naamAs used at this divya desam .F irst the kr*thi and then the Gadhyam paasage. The inspiration for these krithi and Gadhya vaakyams have come from reading the ThiruveLLUr Sthala PurANam , Sri KimgruhEsa SthOthram , Sri Veerarghava AshthOthra Satha NaamAvaLi , Sri Swathi ThirunAAL's naatai Krithi on Sri Aantha PadmanAbhan of Thriuvanathapuram .
