******************************************************

10)praNavam svasva-kAla-anantaguru-kRita-jAtakriyAdikAya namaH .

(Meaning): Salutations to the Acharyan , who recieved 
Jaathakarma and other samskArams at the prescribed age from 
his father, Ananatha Soori! 

(Commnets):There are 40 samskArams defined by the kalpa soothrAs
for one who is born in this world.The first seven are done by 
the parents and the most of the others are done by 
the individual. The first of these SamskArams after birth
is JaathakaramA. This is done soon after the birth of 
the child .The tongue of the child is touched three times 
with ghee to the accompaniment of appropriate Veda ManthrAs 
seeking protection from inauspiciousness with prayers for 
long life (Veda PrAyam ).Gifts are given away during 
this occasion. 

11)praNavam anantArya kRita shrImadvenkaTeshAbhidhAnakAya namaH .

(Meaning):Salutations to the Acharyan , who was given 
the name of "SrI VenkatEsan" by his father, Anantha Soori!

(Commnets):NaamakaraNam is a samskAram that is performed on 
the 11th day after birth. This is the second of the samskArams 
done by the parents for the newly born child . Swamy Desikan is 
the incarnation of the sacred hand bell of Lord VenkatEsan of 
Thirumalai. He was also born on the PurattAsi SraVaNam day , 
which is the birth day of Lord VenkatEsan .Hence Ananatha Soori 
chose the appropriate name of "Venkatesan " for his son.
There is a saying : "Kalou VenkatanAyaka: " to indicate
that Lord VenkatEsan is the powerful medicine for destroying
the samsAric ills in Kali Yugam . Swamy Desikan , as 
the avathAram of VenkatEsan of Thirumalai removed our 
samsAric ills through his UpadEsams and SrI Sookthis
as celebrated by his son ( KumAra VaradAchAr ):" maNN
mEl ninRa nOykaL tavirtthananE " ( He cured all the ills
of samsAram ). 

12)praNavam varadAchArya-rAmAnujArya ubhaya kRipekShitAya namaH .

(Meaning):Salutations to the Acharyan , who was blessed 
to recieve the merciful glances (krupA katAksham ) of 
both VaradAcchAr (NadAthUr AmmAL ) and RaamAnujAcchAr(AppuLLAr)!

(Commnets): Swamy Desikan joined his maternal uncle , 
AppuLLaar to prostrate before the KaalakshEpa GhOshti of
NadAthur AmmAL (grandson of the nephew of AchArya
RaamAnujA ) on the west prAkAram of Lord VaradarAjA.
Swamy Desikan was just five years old at that time. The child's
dhivya tEjas attracted the attention of all the attendants
of the GhOshti including the great NadAthUr AmmAL. He blessed
the child to become an illustrious sampradhAya pravarthakar 
and asked AppuLLAr to be the achAryan to instruct the child
in VedAntha Saasthrams and SaamAnya Saasthrams. Thus Swamy
Desikan was blessed to recieve the paripoorNa anugraham
of both NadAthUr AmmAl and his disciple , AppuLLAr.Swamy
Desikan refers to this anugraham in one of the slOkams of
adhikaraNa SaarAvaLi.One can witness the place where this 
happening occured even today on the Hasthigiri.

13)praNavam vishvAmitrAnvaya-abdhIndave namaH .

(Meaning):Salutations to the AchAryan , who served as 
the Moon for the ocean of ViswAmithra kulam !

The Moon that rises from the Ocean is the cause for
the rising of that ocean. Similarly , Swamy Desikan 
was born in the ViswAmithra gOthram and enriched
the fame of that kulam.Sage ViswAmithra had the power 
based on penance to create Indhran and Svargam. Swamy
Desikan as the most distinguished descendant of this vamsam
was able to accomplish extraordinary things due to his
mastery (PaaNDithyam )of Tarkam and other related
vidhyAs.The moon that arises from the ocean gladdens 
the hearts of the world and its beings. Similarly ,
Swamy Desikan arose from ViswAmithra Kulam and 
conferred immense auspiciousness on the world. 

14)praNavam jagatpuNya mahAphalAya namaH .

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who is
the magnificent fruit of all the ausoicous deeds 
(PuNyams ) of this world !

(Comments):Swamy Desikan's avathAram was for fortifying 
the Veda maargam and protect Prapatthi as an upAyam for
Moksha anugraham.It is our blessed fortune that 
Swamy incarnated to guide us in following the Vedic
way and to recieve the blessings of Nithya Kaimkaryam
to SrIman NaarAyaNan at SrI Vaikuntam through the performance of 
prapatthi at the sacred feet of a SadAchAryan.

Swamy Desikan saluted AchArya RaamAnuja in his 
YathirAja Sapthathi as " Thri-jagath PuNya PhaLam ". 
Swamy Desikan's own avathAram resulted also from the integrated
puNyams of the world. He was the fruit of that collective
puNyam. He established the importance of many ancient
samskArams like Pancha MahA Yaj~nams for a grahsthan.
This fits with the observation : "parasparam bhAvayantha:
srEya: param avApsyatha" ( Parama SrEyas resulted to the entire 
world and Vaidhika SrI grew as a result of the Pancha MahA
Yaj~nAnushtAnam and other Vaidhika karmAs ). The DevAs ,
the humans and all chEthanams benefitted from these observances
of the sadAchAram and anushtAnam recommended by Swamy Desikan.
That became the Jagath PuNya MahA Phalam. 

15)praNavam anantArya-AchArya-ratna-kRitopanayana-samskRitaye namaH .

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who recieved 
the sacred rites (samskAram) of Upanayanam from the AchArya 
SrEshtar , Ananatha Soori !

(Comments): One who performs BrahmOpadEsam and instructs 
the BrahmachAri in the VedAs is recognized as the AchAryan.
This is smruthi vachanam.Anantha Soori thus became the AchAryan
for his son , VenkatEsan. Upanayanam follows the SamskArAs of
GarbhAdhAnam , Pumsavana , Simantha ,Jathakarma ,NaamakaraNa ,
Anna prAsana (a t Six months), ChauLa ( First cutting of 
hair to form Sikhai). After Upanayanam ,Pancha SamskAram
under a SadAchAryan takes place for a VaishNavan. After
that the child enters Gurukulam and follows the Veda VrathAs 
known as PrAjApathya . At the conclusion of the Veda adhyayanam , 
avabrutha snAnam is performed , guru dakshiNai is given and 
the bachelor returns home and is ready for entering married
life (GrahasthAsramam).
