Oh Master of all! Devaadhi Devaa! ParadEvathA! The

Supreme One! The One who enters into the mind and

efforts of great yogins, [who are steadfast in their

mediation and their sadhana following yama, niyama,

etc.. and perform bhakti yoga] and remove their sins

and hurdles on their path towards the end! You have

mercifully shown Yourself (on Your own accord) at the

divya desam of Thiruppaadkam, where long palatial

houses are like the huge mountains; at Thiruvooragam –

standing there majestically and at Thiruve:kaa

reclining like the dam! What a sowlabhya, sowseelya

guNA of yours!

 

AzhwAr was enjoying the divya desams one by one-

ThiruvEmkatam, Thiruvarangam and then Thirukkudanthai

individually. Now at Thirukkacchi AzhwAr enjoys these

wonderful divya desam forms in one verse itself so

divinely. You, the one who is eternally at

Paramapadham along with eternal blemishless

NithyasUris therein, are the same one who

compassionately and mercifully stays at the heart and

mind, efforts of the rishis and yogins who, after

suffering in various births in samsaaric affliction,

attempts to adhere to the saashthras and follow yama,

niyama, etc.. and cross karma, jnAna yoga, involve

themselves in bhakti yoga. You being pleased with

their efforts (which are also due to your mercy and

daya), reside with greatest sowlabhyam, in their

hearts permanently and bless them with great

anubhavam. That itself is Your stooping down to their

level and your sowseelyam. [neermai]

 

When such is the case, there are these human beings

who are caught terribly in material pursuits, amassing

wealth, build their houses like the huge mountains –

in and around the temple of this Paadakam, oorarakam,

and ve:kaa, and You have mercifully show Yourself

there to bless even those riches - blessing them with

your divine dhivya mangaLa vigraham thus enabling

their paapams to get burnt… in the process (with the

darshan) and then putting them on track….

 

Paadagatthu- Paadakam- Thiruppadagam- This is

Paandavadhoothan sannidhi. When KaNNan appeared as the

messenger from Paandavas (Yudhishta, Bhima arjuna,

nakula and sahadeva- five paandavas) to come to the

assembly of Dhuryodhanan to seek some land for the

paandavas, and avoid the battle. When Duryodhanan had

heard about his coming, he arranged a rathnAsanam

(chair made of gem stones with silk soft cloth on top)

which- when sitting would drop down to the basement

(paathaLa) – below the assembly- where there were

Duryodhana’s men were waiting to kill KaNNan. KaNNan-

Sarvagnan – Omniscient- knew all of this plan and

while sitting took huge viswarUpam – grandest form-

thereby –even if the chair falls down, He does not and

His feet touch the basement crushing the men waiting

to kill… KaNNan thus crushed the plan of DuryOdhanan

and this viswarUpan shows Himself in that form of

PaaNdava dhoothan in this divya desam of Paadakam. The

basement (paadakam) has thus become an ornament for

His feet and hence paadkam. OR paadu + agam= paadgam.

Where His grandness is vivid and manifests here and

hence paadgam.

 

Oor +agam= Ooragam. Oor means- ulagam- world. He

houses Himself in the world and took huge Thrivikrama

avathAram- measuring the whole world. Hence in this

dhivya Desam, He shows Himself as ulagaLandha perumAn-

Lord who measures the Universe- Thrivikraman. Also in

this dhivya Desam, He shows Himself [prathyaksham] to

AdhisEshan- uragam. Hence uragam (ooragam).

 

Ve:kaa- Thiruve:kaa- For the prayer of asurAs,

Sarasvathi came angrily as Vegavathi river with

tremendous current to destroy yaagam that was

conducted and performed by Chathurmukha BrahmA. BrahmA

and other Devas surrendered to the Lord to save them

from the onslaught by the river, the merciful Lord

immediately reclined then and there as the Dam across

the river to prevent the same from flowing further.

YathOthkaari perumAL. This Vegavathi + aNai (dam) is

veggiNai- veggaNai and thus has become veggaa… ve:kaa.

[This is the same Lord who listened to Thirumazhisai

AzhwAr when he and his sishya kaNikaNNan walked out of

this place and the Lord obeyed- read AzhwAr’s life

history]
