has SrIvathsam mole as a mark of auspiciousness
in Him being the dear consort of MahA LakshmI.

Additional Comments on the Jn~Ana Panjara Tatthvam
***************************************************

The second half of the SrI VishNu sahasra nAma slOkam
housing the SrIvathsam on the chest of the Lord as a
symbol of the Lord being Sriya: Pathi takes this form :

"SrIvathsavakshA: SrIvAsa: SrIpathi: SrImathAm vara:"

SrIman NaarAyaNan is identified here as the unmistakable
One with SrIvathsam on His chest as well as MahA Lakshmi
residing there . His chest is Her eternal abode and She never 
leaves that abode and gives Him thus the title of SRINIVAASAN. 

SrIvathsam is recognized as the unique symbol(Chinnam) of 
SrInivAsan underlining the Vaallabhya and SoubhAgya 
tatthvams of MahA LakshmI. PerumAL's other name is 
SrI Vallabhan. 

Swamy Desikan salutes the auspicious chest region of 
the Lord in His SrI Bhagavath DhyAna sOpAnam following 
the way shown by ThiruppANar in His AmalanAdhipirAn:

SRIVATSENA praTitha-vibhavam SrIpadha-nyAsa dhanyam
madhyam BaahOr-maNivararuchA ranjitham RangadhAmna:
sAndhracchAyam taruNa-tuLasi-chithrayA VaijayanthyA
samthApam mE samayathi dhiya: chandrikOdhAra-hAram

--The Sixth SlOkam of SrI Bhagavath DhyAna Sopanam 

(Meaning): The SrIvathsam mole shines on the chest 
of the Lord to reveal the grand vaibhavam of the Lord's
chest.That chest has attained the greatest of auspiciousness
through the residence of MahA Lakshmi there and the contact
with Her Thiruvadi . The resplendent Kousthubham gem ,
the white pearl necklace and the fresh green TuLasi
garland on the Lord's chest combine to beautify and
sanctify the Lord's chest with its well known symbol
of SrIvathsam.

Thirukkudanthai Desikan , the founder of the Munithraya 
SampradhAyam was a great devotee of Lord AarAvamudhan of
Thirukkudanthai. Following the lead of Sawmy Desikan's
Bhagavath DhyAna sOpAnam , this AchAryan composed a sOpanam
of his own named AparyApthAmrutha DhyAana sOpAnam . 
The seventh slOkam salutes the Lord's auspicious chest 
and the SrIvathsam (MaRu ) found there as a SrInivAsa-
chihnam:

RamA-Vaasa-sTAnam MaNivararuchA bhAsvad-anagam
mahAhArOllAsam nikhila jagadhAdhi prakruthibhU:
Sunaddham sUthrENa dhrutha-kanaka-bhAsvath svavapushA
sadhA VakshascchitthE mama lasathu SaarngAkhya-dhanusha:

(Meaning): " The lovely CHEST of the Lord-- who wields 
a bow reputed as Saarngam -- is flawless and harbours on it:
MahA Lakshmi , the Kousthuba gem ,the SrIvathsA curl of
hair (Which is regarded as the representative of Moola
Prakruthi, the basic element of the world), a large garland
made up of wild flowers and the Yaj~na Soothram , which is
a veritable flow of pure gold . May the sight of this chest
of our Lord remain in my heart for me to enjoy its loveliness!

Such is the glory of the Lord's chest in general and
the SrIVathsam mole there in particular to signal
the residence of the auspicious Periya PirAtti on
Lord SrInivAsan's Thiru Maarbhu (Chest)!

SrIvathsa VakshasE Nama:
