SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all, 

After the first four AzhwArs namely, Poigai, bhootha,
Pey and Thirumazhisai Azhwar?s anubhavams, Today?s
verse is the eleventh- the last one of KulasekarAzhwAr
verses on ThiruvEnkatam that we will enjoy    

manniyathaN saaral vadavENG kataththaanRan
ponniyalum sEvatikaL kaaNpaan purinthiRaiNYchi
konnavilum koorvEl kulasE karansonna
panniyan^ool thamizhvallaar paangaaya paththargaLE
4.11

Kulasekara ? the king who has mastered the art of
conquering the enemies with his sharp spear, has sung
this ten ? with an intense desire to see, enjoy the
golden hued, red lotus most beautiful feet of Lord who
has shown himself so gracefully on the mountain of
ThiruvEnkatam, where the soft, chill drizzles of water
falls sprinkle everywhere. Those who have recited
these ten [or read these translations] would be
blessed by the Lord to be well-ripened devotees
[paangaaya patthargaLE]. 

KualsekarAzhwAr mentions in his phala sruthi that
those who recite these ten would be great bhakthas.
They will be ripened ? well qualified, deemed fit to
perform kaimkaryam that pleases the Lord most. He
means to say that the reciters would not have to seek
as AzhwAr sought asking from fish, stork, etc.. The
Lord Himself would grant them what is the best.. ?
commentators enjoy.. 

AzhwAr had beautifully sought for various sthaavara
jangama births (non moving and moving beings] in the
mountain of ThiruvEnkatam. This is also stated by Sri
Azhagiya ManavaLa perumAL Naayanaar [as narrated in
Sri Velukkudi Krishnan upanyasam]- based on Let me
born anything in ThiruvEnkatam. 

Anaiya oora punaiya 
Adiyum podiyum pada 
Parvatha bhavanangaLilE 
yEdhEnum onRaauy janikka vENum. 

Aniya- AdhisEshan kaimkaryam.. as bed, as seat.. as
His sandals.. [seNraal kudaiyaam, irundhaal
singaasanammam; ninRaam maravadiyaam..]
Oora- Riding on Garuda.. 
Punaiya- to be worn as garland (be a garland) on the
divine chest of the Lord.. The flowers go to the
corpses; some go to dust; some are blessed to reach
the Lord?s dhivya mangaLa vigraham.
Adiyum podiyum pada- The dust at the feet should touch
us. When Kutti Krishnan jumped into the pond to dance
on Kaalingan head, from the kadhamba tree. Hence the
kadhama tree is so blessed to have got the dust from
His Lotus Feet.  

[Thirumangai AzhwAr addresses Mahaa bhali as
?Kaamaruseer avuNan- the asura who is desired after
[be me] as his head was touched by the Lord Himself] 

parvatha bhavanangaLil- In the mountains where the
Lord resides, and in the palaces of His or the
residences of Bhaagawathaas? let me be blessed to be
born there as ANYTHING.

Sri Alavandhaar also mentions that he would rather be
an insect in the residence of a Bhaagawatha [Sthothra
Rathnam] 

thava daasya sukhaika sanginaam
bhavanEshu asthu api keeta janma mE
idharaavasathEshu maa sma bhoodh
api mE janma chathurmukhAthmanaa [55]

Please bless me to be born as even a small worm at the
thirumaaLigai (house) of Bhaagawatha-
Paramaikaanthin-who are devoted only at Your Lotus
Feet and enjoy only the Lotus Feet of Yours; may I be
born so. BUT PLEASE DO NOT let me be born even as the
Chathur mukha brahmA [the four faced Brahmaa] in the
residence of those who do not consider themselves as
devotees of Yours.

The Bhaagawathaas- are grander and more glorious than
even the rivers like Ganges, Cauveri, etc.. The fruits
of taking holy baths in the sacred rivers- is perhaps
the association with Bhaagawathaas. The white cloth
gets its colour when other colours join the same;
similarly, the sathsangam makes one shine like gold
and be resplendent with Bhakthi for the Lord. Hence
there should be nithya vaasam (permament residence) in
the ThirumaaLigai (residence) of Bhaagawathaas.
Instead of being born as human beings and then have
association with the Bhaagawathas and then leave them
due to some reason, it is even better to be born as
worm in the residence of Bhaagawathas- thereby there
is no chance or avenue to even go out of the house.
Even if it gets crushed inadvertently by Bhagawathas,
it is even grander to die there. During its short
life, there will be at time occasional kataaksham at
those worms by those Bhagawaathas. That itself is
enough. Pasur manushya pakshI vaa- they bless all
beings with benevolent grace.

Instead, even it is equal to the status of Chathur
mukha Brahmaa, OR even given a chance to rule all this
universe as Brahmaa (four faced one) it is still lowly
and will do no good to Athma vichaaram. Also brahmaa?s
life is so long, one needs to suffer and suffer and
suffer with samsaaric affliction. What is the use of
education, wealth, power, fame- when there is no
devotion for Bhagawaan, no detachment (vairAgyam) etc?
