Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Sri:Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Shriman Nigamanta Mahadeshikai: anugrihitam Sharanagati Deepika Based on Sri U Ve P B Annangarachariar Swami's vyakahyanam Avatharikai: The divyadesam Thiruththanka (thiruththaNkA) is in Kanchipuram.It is also known as Vilakkoli Perumal Sannidhi. It has been praised by Thirumangai Azhvar in his Periya Thirumozhi 10-1-2ponnai mAmaNiyai aNi ArndhadhOrminnai vEngadaththu uchchiyil kaNdu pOyennai ALudai Isanai empirAnthannai yAm senRu kANdum thaNkAvilEand in his Thirunedunthandagam 14muLaik kadhiraik kuRungudiyuL mugilai mUvA mUvulagum kadandhu appAl mudhalAy ninRaaLappariya Aramudhai arngam mEya andhaNanai andhaNar tham sindhaiyAnaiviLakkoLiyai maradhagaththaith thiruththaNkAvil veqAvil thirumAlaip pAdak kEttuvalarththadhanAl payan peRREn varuga enRu madakkiLiyaik kaikUppi vaNanginALEpasurams. It was near this divyadesam that Vedanta Desikan was born. The Perumal here is called Vilakkoli in Tamil and Deepa Prakasha in Sanskrit. Swami Desikan wrote a stotra in praise of this Lord - he also included the great meanings of Sharanagati in this work. As such this work came to be called Sharanagati Deepika. Who can perform Sharanagati, what is the nature ofSharanagati, the greatness of those who have performedSharanagati and such matters have been explained in a simplemanner by Swami in this work. This work is equivalent to granthas such as Nyasa Dasakam, Nyasa Tilakam and Nyasa Vimshati.
