SrI:
 
Dear Swami Desika BhakthAs:
 
  SlOkams 35 to 38 describe the blissful dOlOtsava anubhavams of Srimad PiLLaipAkkam Azhagiyasingar .He enjoyed the dolais for Lord DEvanAthan,SrI Raghuveeran ,
SrI HemAbhjavalli and Swamy Desikan on the VidAyERRi day following our AchAryan's JanmOtsavam at Thiruvayindhai .
 
SlOkam 35: PerumAL dOlai
 
SwAmin kim DevanAtha Srutisikhara-gurOm viSramArthOtsavAjn~A

yEtajjanmOtsavAdhyai: svavihita- navarAtrOtsava SrAnti SAntyai:
 
SayyAntEnAchAryamAna: PhaNipathi-thvam SayANOasi kim vaa ?
 
(Meaning): Srimad Azhagiya Singar asks Lord DevanAthan why He has decided to enjoy dOlOtsavam at the conclusion of the JanmOtsavam of His son . He asks: Oh Lord ! were You requested by
AdhiSEshan to rest on him to recover from the fatigue arising from the nine day utsavam participation ? Is it because the ghOshti that organized the nine day festival appealed to You to take part in the VidAyERRu Dolai festival ? Is it because you wish to encourage the Jn~Anis by paying attention to them and resting on behalf of them and by turning partially towards them to communicate with them ? Please share with us your reason to bless us with Your dOlOtsavam.           
SlOkam 36: SrI Raaman dOlai  
 
gadhyEnadhyastuvAnE Srutisikhara-gurau VeeraraghveeSamEnam
 
bhUyO rakshOvadhEcchum karadhruta-dhanusham bhUshaNai-bhUshitAngam
 
dhrushDvA bhUyO na: prayata ithi tamm
MeganAthOjeegushu:
 
svam roopam gUhayan sann upari-Saramayam  varshamasyAstruNeetE
 
(Meaning): Today , Sri Raamachandran is enjoying the Dolai . Swamy Desikan eulogized Him with his Raghuveera Gadhyam. Sri Raamachandran holds in His hand the bow , which makes one wonder whether He is going to engage in dushta nigraham . MeganAthan ( Indhra jith ) saw the Lord with His bow and arrow and wondered whether the Lord is intent on destroying him once again.He hides himself as at Nikumbalai with a torrent of arrows as a screen.
The inspiration for this poetic intreprtation came to Srimad Azhagiya Singar from the huge flower garlands that almost hide the Lord from being seen clearly .It is well known that the pushpa alankArams at Thiruayindhai by the archakAs are legendary .Srimad Azhagiya singar is referring to it and is connecting it to the ithihAsam times and the fight between Raghuveeran and the mighty warrior , Indhrajith , who was destroyed by Lord Raamachandran in the battle between them . 
 
SlOkam 37: ThAyAr DolOtsavam

sarvAm sArthikarishyAmyahamiti kathayatyadhya dOlAdhirooDA
 
(meaning): Sri HemAbhjavally is the Mother of the NigamAntha Guru.She wanted to create great Saanthi for Her talented son . She dressed Herself with all kinds of jewelery and with Her loving words and gentle smile promised to make fruitful all the efforts undertaken by him ( hE suta ! thvann-maneeshAm sarvam saartheekarishyAmi  Aham ) as She sat on the dOlai ( dOlAdhirooDA) .      
 
 
SlOkam 38: Desikan's own DolOtsavam
 
sAkshAth VaikuntanAthO nijasuta-nigamAntArya vEshOdhya dOlA-
 
rUDa: kim? putra AtmEyavitanigamAdh-bhAti kim tAdhrukArya:
 
yOayam prAng-moolamantram BahuSa iha japan pAtumaicchat sva sishyAn
 
tadhbhUmnA vaisha Aaseet parama-padahapatir-druSyatE vAasyaroopam
 
(Meaning): Swamy Desikan was placed on the swing( dolai) and His bhaktAs thronged to enjoy this sEvai. To them , the enchanting beauty of Swamy Desikan durign this occasion loked like SaakshAth NaarAyaNan Himself had left Sri Vaikuntam and incarnated as Desikan to bless them with that unforgettable dOlai sEvai( SaakshAt VaikuntanAthO nija suta nigamAntArya vEshOdhya dOlArooDa : kim ? ). They wondered whether the Lord as the father was enacting the Sruti Vaakyam to keep it true:" AatmA putra-NaamAvaLi".The beauty of Swamy Desikan during dOlai sEvai as the swing comes closer and moves away is like the waves of beauty ( soundharya lahari) striking one's senses anew each time. SishyAs wonder whether the immaculate lustre of Swamy Desikan is tied to the huge avrutthi ( recitation/Japam) of Moola Mantram on their behalf by their compassionate AchAryan to protect them ( prAng moola mantram BhahuSa iha japan paatumaicchat sva sishyAn) from sins .

of Swamy Desikan at Their dhivya dEsam ( yEvam tu Prativatsaram PhaNipatE: puryAm mitha: tE hitai:) .Srimad Azhagiya Singar seeks the krupai of the divine couple to bless the scholars to conduct this utsavam in the future in the most traditional manner ( DampatyOr-dayayA Bhudhai: suvinatAm jyOgEsha jEjeeyatAm ) .

He could never be satisfied to the fullest extent in enjoying the Lord's dhivya MangaLa vigraham and dhivyAtma guNams ( bhaktyA truptim na lEbhE nayanayugam ithi prAha) . Srimad Azhagiya Singar points out that the anubhavam of the beauty of Swamy Desikan's limbs ( anga soundaryam) and vaibhavam was at a par with the anubhavam of the beauty of the Lord Himself .
