SrI:

Dear BhakthAs:

There is a Rg Veda Manthram that triggered my thoughts
on the importance of sthOthrams about SrIman NaarAyaNan.
This manthram is housed in the seventh canto of Rg Vedam
( VII.32.13):

mantram akharvam sudhitham supESasam dhadhAtha yag~iyEshvA
poorviscchana prasitayas taranti tam IndhrE karmaNA bhuvath

(Extended Meaning): oh Mumukshu ! Recite a hymn (eulogy)
that is deep in artham , well composed(uttered) and
which is auspicious by all counts(SravaNa MangaLam ,
Manana mangaLam et al). To such a bhAgyasaali , the snares
and the bonds of the world will stay away ( will not
entangle him ) since he has surrendered himself at 
the sacred feet of the Supreme Being thru his devotion
and MahA VisvAsam .

Swamy Desikan's sthOthrams are in this category .

Swamy Desikan himself was inspired by other 
sthOthrams of PoorvAchAryALs like Swamy ALavanthAr,
KurEsar , ParAsara Bhattar and of rishis .

adiyEn will focus on three sthOthrams .Two of them are
in SrI VishNu DharmOtharam: (1) Srimath ApAmArjana 
SthOthram (2) SrI MaangaLya Sthavam .

The third one is jithanthE Sthothram . It has Vedic
links. Swamy Desikan quotes some of these slOkams 
in his magnum opus , Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram.

Does anyone have a full Sanskrit text of JithanthE 
SthOthram and PeriyavaacchAn PiLlai's Commentary?
Please let adiyEn know. Thanks in advance.

In the coming days , adiyEn will post articles on them
and seek SrI OppilA-appan's anugraham to engage in this 
Kaimkaryam .
