(8) akAla tatthvam-asrAntham aathmAnam anupasyathAm

athrupthyAmrutha -roopAya VenkatEsAya MangaLam

 

Lord VenkatEsA is celebrated for the divine beauty

of His archA vigraham worshipped at Thirumalai. He

is also revered for His attributes as well as His

Aathma svarUpam or Para Brahmam aspects. There has

never been any one in the past or present , who have

been satiated from looking at the matchless physical

beauty or thinking about His incomparable anantha

kalyANa guNAs.In future also , it is unlikely that

we would meet any one , who will fully understand

the Sri VenkatEsa Tatthvam or Svaroopam .Let all

MangaLAs accumulate and reach the divine feet of

Lord VenkatEsA !

 

(9) prAya: svacharaNou pumsAm SaraNyathvEna paaNinA

krupayA disathE Sri VenaktEsAya MangaLam

 

Lord VenkatEsA ! Your right hand has a varadha mudhrA

(gesture). That gesture points to the direction of

Your divine feet. It appears that this mudhrA reveals

Your secret that Your holy feet are the sole means

for deliverance from the ills of samsArA through

the act of surrender (SaraNAgathi) unto them. Let all

MangaLAs come Your way as the revealer of SaraNAgathi

rahasyam out of Your infinite mercy through this mudhrA !

apAngais sinjathE visvam VenkatEsAya MangaLm

 

Lord VenkatEsA looks at the world with His eyes

full of infinite mercy and compasssion. The world

and its denizens respond with supreme joy ;their

happiness is comparable to the joy resulting from

repeated immersions in a wave-laden river of nectar .

The world and its lives are rejuvenated and energized

by the power of that merciful look . Let all MangaLAs

fall on the supreme abode of DayA , Sri VenkatEsA !

 

(11) srag-bhUshaNaambara -hEthinAm sushumAvahamoorthayE

sarvArthi-samanAyAsthu VenkatEsAya MangaLam

 

Lord VenkatEsA has the most beautiful body , which

is adorned by fragrant garlands , powerful weapons

and lovely clothes. He wipes out the sorrows of all

of His devotees. Let all auspiciousness shower on

the beautiful ThirumEni of Sri VenkatEsA !

 

(12) Srivaikunta-virakthAya SvAmi PushkaraNI-thatE

RamayA ramamANAya VenkatEsAya MangaLam

 

Sriman NaarAyaNaa got tired of His abode in

Sri Vaikuntam and abandoned it in favor of

a new residence on the banks of Swami PushkaraNi

at Thirumalai. There , He has incarnated as

Sri VenkatEsA and protects forever His dear devotees;

there, He also sports with Sri MahA Lakshmi and has

given Her a preferred seat of residence on His chest

and thereby acquired the name of SrinivAsan . Let all

MangaLams befall SrinivAsA of Swami PushkaraNi!

 

(13) Srimath Sundara-jaamAthru muni maanasa-vaasinE

Sarvaloka nivAsAya SrinivAsaaya MangaLam

 

Sri VenkatEsA resides in the heart lotus of

great BhakthAs like Sri MaNavALa MaamunigaL.

He is the indweller(antharyAmi) of all living

beings. Let all auspiciousness come the way of

Sri VenkatEsA , who is the succor and sustenance

of all BhaagavathAs !

 

(14) MangaLAsAsana-parair-madhAchArya -purOgamai:

sarvaisccha poorvair-AachAryai:sathkruthAyAsthu MangaLam

 

All of my AchAryAs (preceptors) , their AchAryAs

and the other AchAryAs have sung the glory of

Sri VenkatEsA's auspicious attributes from time

immemorial . AdiyEn's praise of His KalyANa guNAs

is therefore nothing new and does not represent

an isolated act.AdiyEn joins with my AchAryAs

and predecessors in wishing Sri VenkatEsA

all auspiciousness!
