Dearest all,

 

Continuing on the wonderful verses on Srirangam by

Kulasekara PerumAL…

When! O! When am I going to bow my head at the lotus

feet of the Lord? " Chenni Enru kolo Vanangum Naale?”

Thumburu Maharishi with his divine veena instrument

and Sage Narada with his unmatched divine voice and

musical veena play them offering praises to the Lord,

and perform saashtAnga praNamams at the lotus feet of

the Lord; And with the unparalleled Veda saasthrAs

Chathurmukha BrahmA seated on the lotus flower out of

the lotus navel of the Lord Sriman Narayanan, praises

Him uninterruptedly with sthothras (verses); The Lord

Sriranganathan, like a blue hued Gem, reclines on the

AdhisEshan in the divine place of Srirangam, which is

center of and is surrounded by seven corridors

(praakaaram)- when will I be able to approach Him at

Srirangam and prostrate at His Feet, placing my head

therein? When! O! When am I going to bow my head at

the foot of the Lord?

 

Sri Parasara Bhattar praises Lord of Srirangam in his

Srirangasthavam.. referring to this saptha prakaara

(seven corridors)

In the middle of the island formed by the two CauvEri

rivers (koLLidam and thula cauveri), in the center of

the seven ramparts (PrAkArams), inside the lotus

bud-like vimAnam known as Sriranga VimAnam

(PraNavAkruthi VimAnam ), the beautiful Lord

RanganAthA rests in YoganidhrA with His right hand

near His crown and

the left hand at the left side in kaDi bhantham . At

His

Paadha Kamalam is seen Sri RanganAyaki pressing the

tender feet of Her dear consort. AdiyEn salutes this

auspicious subhAsrayam of Sri RanganAthan at

Srirangam. [Translation by Sri Satakopan Swami, USA]
