kaNmoondraththAnumadikamalam ittu Eththum angu"What all of us want is

ishtaprApthi (attain the necessary) and anishta nivarthi (get all the

unwanted removed)? Will thiruvEnkata yathra give us these? Azhvar

answers, it is not even necessary that you should climb the mountain

and have the darshan of emperuman, just go near thirumalai and

prostrate the divine mountain and ishtaprApthi and anishta nivarthi

will occur on its own.

(sendru vananguminO sENuyar vEnkataththai) Go and prostrate the divine

thirumalai that is great both in size and fame. "senni Ongu thAn

thiruvEnkatam" The mountain is so big that we are able to visualize

the high peaks just as we start our divine yathra. The peaks appear

to be engulfing the sky.

As per 'madhyamani niyAyam' the word "nindru" can be attached to

either the front or back and meaning can be obtained.(nindru

vananguminO) Stand and have the darshan without any tension.(nindru

vinaikedukkum neermaiyAl) "vEnkatam" itself means that which removes

all our sins. The divine mountain removes all our sins in a very

easy calm manner. So we need not worry about anishta nivarthi;

What about ishta prApthi:- Even the brahma rudras who you think to be

generous in granting your requirements have obtained their positions

only by prostrating thiruvenkatamudaiyan.(endrum) not at one time;

for ever

(kadikamala nANmuganum) brahma who was born from a divine lotus with

sweet fragrance; the lotus has a sweet smell since it was born from

that divine lord who is adorned as "sarvagandha:"(kanmoondraththAnum)

that siva who has three eyes as if to show the greatness of his

knowledge and power

(adikamala mittEththu mangu) these two worship the lord in thirumalai

with various flowers and attain their positions. So there is no

necessary for us to worry about our ishta prApthi also.(To Be

Continued)
