Dear BhakthAs of the Lord of Saptha Giri :

Let us reflect today on the Thirteenth
naamA of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam today :

11.(PraNavam) KesavAya Nama:
12.(PraNavam) DevAya nama:

13.(PraNavam) MadhusoodhanAya Nama:
************************************
14.(PraNavam) AmruthAya Nama:

16.(PraNavam) KrishNAya Nama:
17.(PraNavam) SrIharayE Nama:
18.(PraNavam) Jn~Ana PanjarAya Nama:
19.(PraNavam) SrIvathsa VakshasE Nama:
20.(PraNavam) SarvEsAya Nama:

The 13th Naamam: (PraNavam) MadhusoodhanAyaNama:
************************************************
This is the 74th naamam in SrI VishNu Sahasra
nAmam(VSN). 

Meaning: 
********
Madhusoodhana means the slayer of the asuran Madhu .
Madhusoodhanan conferred immeasurable prosperity to 
the DevAs by slaying Madhu .

The other meaning of "Madhusoodhanan" relates to His 
matchless Savroopam,Roopam and GuNam that attracts 
and draws close to Him all the Muktha Jeevans and 
Nithya Sooris effortlessly .

Madhu is the name of the sense organs that distract 
the chEthanams from the enjoyment of the VailakshaNyams
(glories)of His DhivyAthma Svaroopam and Dhivya ManagaLa Vigraham .
Out of His great affection for us, Lord Venkatesan as
Madhusoodhanan attracts us to Him and blesses us with
the Parama PurushArTam of Mukthi and residence at His
Supreme Abode.

Additional Comments
********************
The Madhusoodana Naama is invoked , when a SrI VaishNava
adorns the Urdhva PuNDram on his right , upper arm with
the manthram: "Chathur-mulsamaBjAbham SamsrayE Madhusoodhanam ".
He is the Lord of the South Eastern Direction ;His hue is that of 
a red lotus; The weapons seen in His four hands are four pestles
( Ulakkai ).The order of the 12 NaamAs are: Kesavan, NaarAyaNan ,
Maadhavan , Govindhan , VishNu ,MADHUSOODHANAN , Thrivikraman,
Vaamanan,SrIdharanHrishikEsan , PadhmanAbhan and DaamOdharan.

Swamy Desikan salutes Him in His SrIsookthi of Panniru ThirunAmam
this way: " Mudhumaa VinaikaL aRukkum muyalankaL IriraNDAn ".
He identifies the Lord in this paasuramas also as "Ponn Mmathu 
uRai Pankaya VaNNan " or the Lord of lotus hue (Madhusoodhanan) ,
who has MahA Lakshmi residing on His Chest always. Swamy Desikan
also instructs us that this SrInivAsan is also Venkatesan ,
since He destroys all of our ancient paapams by burning them
away( mudhu maa = ancient and huge , vinaikaL = paapams ,
aRukkum = cutting asunder ). In this passage of the Paasuram ,
Swamy Desikan instructs us that Madhusoodhanan's weapons 
for destruction/pulverization of our paapams are four Pestles
seen on each of His four hands. He has His seat on the upper
right hand shoulder of the SrI VaishNavan through the adornment
of Urdhva PuNDram there every day .
