SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwArs wonderful
verses on Thiruvenkatamudiayaan.

kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram
yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama:

I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the
whole world, to destroy the darkness of
ignorance(a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the
Kali dhOsham.

Let us enjoy Periya Thirumozhi 10.1.2 on
ThiruvEnkatam.

In the last ten AzhwAr enjoyed the sowlabhyam of
Emperumaan showing Himself at ThirukkOttiyoor. Now
here AzhwAr pays his obeisance to various Divya Desams
PerumAL in one ten.

[Our verse on ThiruvEnkatam]
2. ponnai, maamaNiyai aNiyaarndhadhOr minnai* 
vEmkatatthu ucchiyil kaNdu pOi* 
ennai yaaLudai Isanai enpiraan thannaich* 
chenRu kaaNdum thaNkaavilE..

He, who is sought after desirously like the Gold; who
is like the lost valuable maNi (gem stone); who shines
like the lightning; who is at the top of ThiruvEmkata
mountain to whom we paid our obeisance [yesterday] and
who enslaved us and rules us,- who is our parama
upakaarakan (most merciful one); - [Today], let us go
and pay our obeisance to Him and ThirutthaNkaa.

This pon [gold]; maNi [gem] reminds me of the most
popular Oppiliappan pAsuram [verse] of NammAzhwAr:
ponnappan; maNiappan; mutthappan; ennappan; than
oppAril appan? Oppiliappan [the unparalleled and
unsurpassed Father; He does not have anyone equal to
Him; why to talk of Superior? 

Oppilappan (Oppilaa Appan ) Koil is known as Thiru
ViNNagar or Vaikuntapuri. Here , on the banks of
AhOratra Pushkarani, the Lord Of Vaikuntam stands
under Suddhaananda Vimanam with his bride Bhoomi Devi.
Four Azhwaars have dedicated 47 Pasurams to him and
have received His Anugraham. He blesses us even today 
with His " Panchaavataaram" or five forms (Viz)., Hema
(Ponnappan ), Muktha (Mutthappan ), Mani (Maniappan ),
Vyoma Pureesan  ( ViNNagarappan ) and Matpathi:
(Ennappan )

In this Kshetram, He hurried to appear before
Nammazhwaar ,
who was about abandon him out of anger at the Lord for
being insensitive to his request to give him Darsanam.
Our Lord could not bear with the thought of losing His
Parama Bhaktha and rushed to his side and made the
Azhwaar enjoy HIS  Ananta Kalyaana Gunas and HIS
unmatchable beauty. The Azhwaar felt thoroughly
appeased and specially blessed and declared :

ENNAPPAN ENAKKAYIGULAAI ENNAI PERRAVALAAI
PONNAPPAN MANIAPPAN MUTTHAPPANENAPPANUMAAI
MINNAPPONMADHIL SOOZH THIRUVINNAGAR SERNDA aPPAN 
TANNOPPAARILLAPPAN TANTANAN TANATHAAL NIZHALEH 

Azhwaar describes the Lord as Panchavataaran here and
states that the Lord travelled to Thiruvinnagar in
search of him  to remove his dejection and united with
him and gave him the comforting and cool shade of his
lotus feet as his solace and refuge.[from Sri
Satakopan Swamin?s write up]. 
I could not resist enjoying Oppiliappan?s glories
here.. as He is also traditionally reported to be
Srinivasa perumAL as well?
Thirumangai AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam

Namo Narayana
