Dearest all,

 

Let us continue to enjoy AzhwArs wonderful verses on

ThiruvEnkatam. Today’s ThiruvEnkatam verse is:

NammAzhwAr’s Thiruvaaymozhi 6.10.11

 

`adikkee zhamarndhu pugundhadiyeer!

vaazhmin' enRen RaruLkotukkum

padikkE zhillaap perumaanaip

pazhanak kurukoorch chadagOpan,

mudippaan sonna aayiraththuth

thiruvENG kadaththuk kivaipaththum,

pidiththaar pidiththaar veeRRirundhu

periya vaanuL nilaavuvarE. 6.10.11

 

ThiruvEnkadamudaiyaan shows His Feet to His BhakthAs

by pointing His right Hand down and asks them to

surrender at His Feet for their redemption. About that

peerless, unparallelled Supreme Lord, Srinivasa, and

in praise of Him, Sri SadagOpa has sung 1000 pAsurams.

Out of those 1000, these ten are on ThiruvEnkadam.

Those who read these ten are DEFINITE TO STAY AT THE

ETERNAL [EVER PERMANENT] PARAMAPADHAM. Nacha

punaraavartthathE.. nacha punaraavartthathE..

 

DramidOpanishad Thaatparya RathnAvaLi of Swamy Desikan

mentions that: [about this decad]:

 

(1) Vekataadri being the saviour of Akinchanyars

[helpless ones] is SarvalOka SaraNyan; as He (a)

protects everything by retention of the world and

beings in His stomach during Dissolution

[mahApraLayam]; (b) has Sudharsana ChakrA which is

deterrent to enemies © He is of the nature – full of

mercy unbiased like rain bearing clouds; (d) He

enjoys constant never ever separated “nithya yoga” of

PiraaTTi MahAlakshmi [nithya anapaayinee] (e) He

overpowered the bulls and gained asrithars’ confidence

in Him; (f) He is standing gracefully at Venkataadhri

enabling even Nithyasuris to worship Him therein; (g)

He is at Thirumalai for everyone [irrespective of

caste creed, sex and race] without distinction to take

refuge in His lotus feet; (h) He is amenable to His

devotees and Saranagathars and unavailable to others;

(i) He is in samslEsha with Sri Mahalskhmi who Herself

is the refuge for all;(j) He is full of innumerable

most auspicious kalyANa guNAs like Sowlabhyam

sowlseelya, Vathsalya etc..

 

Thus In Taatparya RathnAvaLi, Swami Desikan captures

in his inimitable style the essence of these 10

paasurams dealing with SaraNAgathi at the sacred feet

of the Lord of the seven hills. He concludes that

Azhwar assessed that Sri VenkatEsan is the most

appropriate one to receive his saraNAgathi and then

performed it.

 

The last two lines of this summary of Swami Desikan

is as follows :

 

prApyA prApyathva yogAth svajana vijanayO: sath

prapatthavya bhaavAth

uchE naatham SaraNyam sruthisatha vidhitham VenkatEsam

SatAri:

 

The last line describes NammAzhwAr performing

SaraNAgathi to his Lord VenakatEsan , who is

understood well by the VedAs. The first line refers to

his being near to His BhakthAs and AsrithAs ( svajana

prApyathvAth ) and being far away from bhaktha

dhvEshis ( vijana aprApyathvAth ). References here are

to the Paasura vAkyams: vandhAy pOl vArAyi and

vandhAyi polE vArAthAi "

 

Finally, Swami Desikan connects " AhalahillEn " part

of the paasuram with " Sath prapatthavya bhAvAth " . He

salutes the Vaatsalya , SwAmithva , Souseelya ,

SoulabhyAdhi guNams of Periya Piratti that are shared

by Her Lord equally and Her purushaakAram ( merciful

intercession quality/sipArsu to Her Lord ) and

performs the SaraNAgathi to the Sruthi satha vidhitha

VenkatEsan , who is prapadhana sulabhan (easy of

access for Prapatthi )
