SlOkam Fifty Two: (Prayer for Nithya Vaasam at Thiruayindhai)
*************************************************************
Jaya ViBhudhapathE Thvam darsithAbhIshta dhAna:
saha SarasijivAsA mEdhineebhyAM vasAbhyAm
nalavanamiva mrudhnan pAparAsim nathAnAm
GarudasaridhanUpE gandha-hastheeva dheevyan

General Meaning
****************
In this slOkam , Swamy Desikan like the Father-in-law
of SrI HemAbhjavalli ThAyAr prays to the Lord to reside
permanently ( nithya vAsam) at this Dhivya dEsam to bless
generations of His BhakthAs and BhAgavathAs.

Oh the Lord of DevAs( ViBhudha PathE)! You are roaming
joyously on the banks of Garuda nathi like a mighty elephant
in rut(Gandha Hasthi) with ichor flowing from its eyes.
Your kOlAhalam in that state is most enjoyable to watch.
Your sevai is also majestic in that state. Just as ichor flows
continously from the eyes of the elephant in rut, Your hands
are granting the desired boons to Your bhakthAs without stopping.
The elephant in rut will move wildly through the lotus ponds
and destroy them . Similarly , You destroy the huge
assemblies of sins accumulated by Your devotees by stomping
on them . The male elephant in rut would sport with his wives on
the banks of rivers and roam in the forests.Similarly , You sport
with SrI and BhU Devis on the banks of Garuda nathi at
this dhivya dEsam.Thus Thou should reside forever at
at ThiruvahIndhrapuram with Your unmatched Parathvam(Supermacy),
Soulabhyam (neermai) and Soundharyam (Vadivazhahu).

********************
Swamy Desikan is now at the very end of the SrI Sookthi
and is praying for the nithya Vaasam of the Lord at
ThiruvahIndhrapuram just as Brighu Maharishi did
as the father-in-law of the Lord.Brighu Maharishi
sits with folded handson the right side of the Lord
at the garbha graham . The Lord heard the prayer of
His father-in-law and responded positively . Opposite
Her foster father , SrI HemAbhjavalli ThAyAr sits with
folded hands. Moolavar stands facing both His divine consort
and His father-in-law at this dhivya desam.

Swamy Desikan is overcome by the majestic gait of
the Uthsavar on sanchAram with His Ubhaya NaacchiyAr
on the banks of Garuda nathi and has His sevai as a majestic
elephant in rut (Gandha Hasthi) strutting about . Swamy salutes
Him as the One , who grants all the boons that a BhakthA desires
( darsitha abhIshta dhAnan).Swamy visualizes Him destroying
the mighty piles of accumulated sins of His bhakthAs prostrating
before Him just as an elephant in rut tramples the lotuses in
the pond ( naLa vanamiva nathAnAm pApa raasim mrudhnan).
The sanchAram of the Lord with His two Devis on the banks
of Garuda nathi in the majestic Gaja gathi overwhelms
Swamy Desikan(Gaja saridhanUpE vasAbhyAm sarasija VaasA
MEdhineebhyAm saha dheevyan DEvanAtham dhrushtvA ,
Jaya vijayee bhava ithyAhu:).
