Dearest Srivaishnavas

Oh Master of all! Devaadhi Devaa! ParadEvathA! The
Supreme One! The One who enters into the mind and
efforts of great yogins, [who are steadfast in their
mediation and their sadhana following yama, niyama,
etc.. and perform bhakti yoga] and remove their sins
and hurdles on their path towards the end! You have
mercifully shown Yourself (on Your own accord) at the
divya desam of Thiruppaadkam, where long palatial
houses are like the huge mountains; at Thiruvooragam ?
standing there majestically and at Thiruve:kaa
reclining like the dam! What a sowlabhya, sowseelya
guNA of yours! 

AzhwAr was enjoying the divya desams one by one-
ThiruvEmkatam, Thiruvarangam and then Thirukkudanthai
individually. Now at Thirukkacchi AzhwAr enjoys these
wonderful divya desam forms in one verse itself so
divinely. You, the one who is eternally at
Paramapadham along with eternal blemishless
NithyasUris therein, are the same one who
compassionately and mercifully stays at the heart and
mind, efforts of the rishis and yogins who, after
suffering in various births in samsaaric affliction,
attempts to adhere to the saashthras and follow yama,
niyama, etc.. and cross karma, jnAna yoga, involve
themselves in bhakti yoga. You being pleased with
their efforts (which are also due to your mercy and
daya), reside with greatest sowlabhyam, in their
hearts permanently and bless them with great
anubhavam. That itself is Your stooping down to their
level and your sowseelyam. [neermai] 

When such is the case, there are these human beings
who are caught terribly in material pursuits, amassing
wealth, build their houses like the huge mountains ?
in and around the temple of this Paadakam, oorarakam,
and ve:kaa, and You have mercifully show Yourself
there to bless even those riches - blessing them with
your divine dhivya mangaLa vigraham thus enabling
their paapams to get burnt? in the process (with the
darshan) and then putting them on  track?.  
 
Paadagatthu- Paadakam- Thiruppadagam- This is
Paandavadhoothan sannidhi. When KaNNan appeared as the
messenger from Paandavas (Yudhishta, Bhima arjuna,
nakula and sahadeva- five paandavas) to come to the
assembly of Dhuryodhanan to seek some land for the
paandavas, and avoid the battle. When Duryodhanan had
heard about his coming, he arranged a rathnAsanam
(chair made of gem stones with silk soft cloth on top)
which- when sitting would drop down to the basement
(paathaLa) ? below the assembly- where there were
Duryodhana?s men were waiting to kill KaNNan. KaNNan-
Sarvagnan ? Omniscient- knew all of this plan and
while sitting took huge viswarUpam ? grandest form-
thereby ?even if the chair falls down, He does not and
His feet touch the basement crushing the men waiting
to kill? KaNNan  thus crushed the plan of DuryOdhanan
and this viswarUpan shows Himself in that form of
PaaNdava dhoothan in this divya desam of Paadakam. The
basement (paadakam) has thus become an ornament for
His feet and hence paadkam. OR paadu + agam= paadgam.
Where His grandness is vivid and manifests here and
hence paadgam. 

Oor +agam= Ooragam. Oor means- ulagam- world. He
houses Himself in the world and took huge Thrivikrama
avathAram- measuring the whole world. Hence in this
dhivya Desam, He shows Himself as ulagaLandha perumAn-
Lord who measures the Universe- Thrivikraman. Also in
this dhivya Desam, He shows Himself [prathyaksham] to
AdhisEshan- uragam. Hence uragam (ooragam). 

Ve:kaa- Thiruve:kaa- For the prayer of asurAs,
Sarasvathi came angrily as Vegavathi river with
tremendous current to destroy yaagam that was
conducted and performed by Chathurmukha BrahmA. BrahmA
and other Devas surrendered to the Lord to save them
from the onslaught by the river, the merciful Lord
immediately reclined then and there as the Dam across
the river to prevent the same from flowing further.
YathOthkaari perumAL. This Vegavathi + aNai (dam) is
veggiNai- veggaNai and thus has become veggaa? ve:kaa.
[This is the same Lord who listened to Thirumazhisai
AzhwAr when he and his sishya kaNikaNNan walked out of
this place and the Lord obeyed- read AzhwAr?s life
history] 

Swamy Desikan mentions the same in VegAsEthu
sthOthram- vEgAsEthurjayathi vipulO
viswarakshaikahEthu: 
Thirumazhisai Piraan ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam
