" SrivathsachinhamisrEbhyONama ukthim adheemahE

Meaning:

KooratthAzvAn's Sri Sookthis have attained the state of

ThirumAngalyam (auspicious thread worn by Sumangalis)

around the Vedha Maadha.We recite the word of Nama:for

the MahA PaNdithar,KurEsar with the same reverence as

we recite the sacred Veda manthrams.

-------------

From the above thaniyan, inspite of ALwar Sri Sookthis,

other AchArya Sri Sookthis, IthihAsam such as Ramayanam

Mahabharatam, PurAnams such as Vishnu Puranam,etc.,

ONLY Swamy KooratAlwan Sri Sookthis have attained the

state of ThirumAngalayam to Vedha Maadha. Such is the

greatness of the Pancha Sthavams and the composer Swamy

kooratAlwan !!

His works has to be read by all SriVaishnavites which

is delicious and sweet to recite. While reciting Sri

Varadaraja Sthavam, the experince brings Hastigiri

PerarulAn in front of one's eye. Below is the one of such

beautiful slOkam on Sri hastigiri PEraruLAlan:
