Dear BhakthAs of SundarabAhu  PerumAL of ThirumAlirum ChOlai :
 
We will study the SlOkams 16-205 of SundarabAhu Sthavam today .
 
SlOkam 16:
**************
sadhbrahmAthmapadhai: thrayee sirasi yO NaarAyaNokthyA taTA
    vyAkyAthO gathisAmya labdha vishayAnyathva BhOdhOjjvalai:
nisthulyAdhikam adhviteeyam amrutham Tamm PuNDarIkEkshaNam
    prArooDasriyam aasrayE VanagirE: kunjOthitham Sundaram
 
( Meaning ) : adiyEn seeks the refuge of Sundarabaahu of ThriumAlirumchOlai ,
who incarnated in His archA form amidst the hilly , lush green gardens of Vana Giri
( KunjOthitham Sundaram aasrayE ) . He has eyes similar to a soft and beautiful
lotus flower ( PuNDareeka IkshaNam) and has MahA Lakshmi in His Vaksha sthalam
( PrAroodas-Sriyam) . He has no equal or Superior ( nistulya adhikam)  and is nectar like
to experience ( amrutham) as well as matchless ( adhvitheeyam) in every way .
 
The Upanishads (Thrayee Sirasee) reveal Him (Sundara Baahu) to be none other
than Sriman NaarAyaNan following the Gathi SaamAnya NyAyam ( Brahma Soothram 1.1.11).
This NyAyam teaches that Sriman NaarAyaNan ( Brahman) is the First Cause regarding
the origin of the world ( Thrayee Sirasi Gathismya labdha vishaya ananyathvaBhOdham)
and is saluted as Sath , Brahman , Aathmaa sabdhams as well as by NaarAyaNa sabdham .
To that Lord residing forever at Vanagiri , adiyEn performs my SaraNAgathy . 
 
SlOkam 17

Sruthi: BrahmEsAdheen tadhudhitha  vibhUtheen tu gruNathee
     yamAhArooDasrI: Sa VanagiridhAmA vijayathE
 
(Meaning) : This Lord of Solaimalai shines resplendent ( Sa: Vanagiri dhAma:
vijayathE ) over Brahmaa , Sivan and all other DevAs according to the revelations of
the VedAs . They instruct us that He is SaakshAth Sriman NaarAyaNan ( Param NaarAyaNa:
ithi) from whom Brahmaa , Sivan and others recieved their respective Iswaryams as revealed by
the VedAs ( Brahma IsAdheen tu  tadhudhitha VibhUtheen ithi Sruthi: gruNAthee) . He is
the Lord of the Universe ( Viswasya Pathi: ) , He is the Lord of Himself ( aathmEswaram) ,
He is the Supreme Being ( Param Brahma) , the Parama Purushan ( Purusha: ) and
the Supreme JyOthi ( Param JyOthi) .
