SlOkam 24 ************** sadhA shAdguNyAkhyai : pruTula Bala vij~nAna Sakana prabhA veeryaiswaryai: avadhi vidhurai : yEdhitha dasam dhrumasthOma kashamAbhruth parisara mahOdhyAna mudhitham prapadhyE adhyArooDasriyam imamaham Sundarabhujam (Meaning) : adiyEn takes refuge ( aham prapadhyE ) in this Lord , who has beautiful shoulders , MahA Lakshmi on His chest and who is residing at the flower gardens in the foothills of Solai Malai dhivya dEsam . He is always of a joyous temperament . He has the six GuNams of Jn~Anam , Balam , Sakthi , Iswaryam , Veerayam and tEjas befitting His name as BhagavAn . Each of these six guNams have other guNams embedded in them and thus are limitless . For instance , Souseelyam and Vaathsalyam are included under KaaruNyam , which in turn is part of one of the six guNams referred to above . He is thus known for His limitless , " six guNams " ( avadhi vidhurai: praTula Moorthy) . These six guNams have been saluted as " ShaDEva PraTamE guNA : " . His guNam of Balam makes Him bear (support) all the sentients and insentients tirelessly . His Jn~Anam ( Vijn~Anam ) makes Him see(comprehend) every thing directly . His Sakana Sakthi enables Him to complete every thing undertaken by any means . His PrabhA guNam is the supreme jyOthi svaroopam that dulls every other light through its splendour . Veerya guNam of the Lord is the one that transforms every thing else without Himself undergoing any changes . Iswarya guNam relates to His status as Ubhaya VibhUthi NaaTan ( LeelA and Nithya VibhUthis) . He shines eternal with these guNams at Solaimalai . These six guNams are always present in His five manifestations as BHagavAn ( Param , VyUham , Vibhavam , Archai and AntharyAmi states) . SlOkam 25 ************* souseelyAsritha vathsalathva mrudhuthA souhArdha sAmyArjavai: dhairya sTairya suveerya Sourya kruthithA gAmbheerya chAthuryakai: soundharyAnvitha soukumArya samathA lAvaNya mukhyai: guNai: dEva: SrI taru ShaNDaSaila nilayE nithyam sTitha: Sundara: ( Meaning) : The Lord of ThirumAlirum ChOlai graces us all from His dhivya dEsam of VanAdhri ( Taru shaNDa Sailam ) . There one has the blessings of His Sevai with every limb of His sacred body resplendent with His youthful Soundharyam . The samudhAya (collective) soundharyam (Beauty) of the Lord here is without parallel justifying His ThirunAmam as Azhagar ( the Beautiful One) .The auspicious guNams that have sought refuge in this beautiful body of the Lord of this dhivya dEsam are : Souseelyam ( moving with the lowly ones and blessing them) , Aasritha vAthsalyam ( the deep affection for those , who seek His protectionn thru SaraNAgathy ) , Mrudhuthvam ( Soft heart for His devotees) , SouhArtham ( good will towards all ) , Saamya nilai ( state of being attained by one and all ) , aarjavam ( Straightforwardness , rectitude) , Dhairyam ( Courage and unperturbedness) , sTairyam ( steadfastness , resolutenss in the execution of Sankalpam ) , Suveeryam ( power to engage all enemies all alone against a multitude of enemies ) , Souryam ( independent prowess that enables Him to meet the enemies at his own base and destroy them ) , KruthithA ( joyous attitude after placing those who sought His protection by His sside in Sri Vaikuntam ) , Gaambheeryam ( Majesty ) , ChAthuryam ( conductance with exemplary cleverness and diplomacy with all ) . His unparalleled beauty blends with these auspicious and limitless guNams at His divine abode of ThirumAlirumchOlai . SlOkam 26 ************ yEshvEkasya guNasya vipruDapi vai lOkOttharam svAsrayam kuryAth thAdhrusa-vaibhava: agaNithai: nisseema-bhUmAnvithai: nithyai: dhivya-guNai: tathOdhika SubhathvaikAspadhAm-Asrayai: iddham SundarabAhum-asmi SaraNam yAthO VanAdhrIswaram (Meaning) : adiyEn performs SaraNAgathy at the sacred feet of Lord SundarabAhu of VanAdhri ( ThirumAlirumchOlai) . The possession of even a trace of any one of His most auspicious guNams ( yEshu yEkasya guNasya vipruDapi ) saluted in the previous slOkam ( Souseelyam , aasritha Vaathsalyam , SouhArdham , Aarjavam , Dhairyam , sTairyam , Suveeryam , Souryam , Kruthaj~nathai , SrImath Gaambheeryam , ChAthuryam et al) will qualify a human being to become worthy of praise in this world . Our Lord is however the abode of all of these limitless , auspicious attributes ( Taadhrusa Vaibhava: ) , which are beyond our full comprehension . He possesses these countless and supremely glorious attributes ( agaNithai: nisseema bhUmAnvithai : GuNai forever . Vedam flounders in its attempt to describe fullyHis GuNams and Sakthi : " Paraa asya sakthi: vividhaiva srUyathE " . Rg Vedam chimes in : " na tE VishNO jaayamAnO na jaathO deva mahimna paramanthamApa " . None who ever lived or yet to be born will equal or surpass the Mahimai of VishNu . The dhivyAthma Svaroopam , the abode of such anantha kalyANa guNams and the dhivya MangaLa vigraham of Sriman NaarAyaNan have elected as their permanent abode , the dhivya dEsam of ThirumAlirumchOlai .
