SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all, 

After the first four AzhwArs namely, Poigai, bhootha,
Pey and Thirumazhisai Azhwars? anubhavams, next we
immerse ourselves in the most wonderful verses of
Kulasekara PerumAn?s on ThiruvEnkatam. It is the
fourth decad of his PerumAL Thirumozhi. 

pinnitta sadaiyaanum piramanu manthiranum
thunnittu pukalariya vaikuntha neeLvaasal
minvattas sudaraazhi vEngatakkOn thaanumizhum
ponvattil pidiththudanE pukappeRuvE NnaavEnE    4.3

In the last verse 4.2, AzhwAr had pleaded to
ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan for being ordained to be born as
a fish in the Swami Pushkarinee. Azhwar then reasons
out that the stream could perhaps dry up and the fish
may die, thus denying him further Anubhavam of
Bhagavan. The thought of separation from Bhagavan is
extremely painful to the Azhwar. This must be noted in
the context of the Azhwar's desire for daily
pilgrimage to Srirangam so that he could constantly be
by the side of his Abhimana Dhaivam, Lord Rama and
enjoy Bhagavath and Bhaagavata Kainkaryam. Therefore,
he seeks a better way to remain by the side of the
Lord. {which leads us to the next verse 4.3]

The matted lock haired Rudra, the Chathurymukha
Brahma, Devendra and all other devas rush to your gate
in order to have darshana bhaagyam of Yours at
ThiruvEnkatam. To such Supreme Lord Sri Srinivaasan,
may I blessed to be the kaimkarya parar [humble
servant] to hold the golden bowl for Him to spit after
rinsing His ThiruppavaLa chevvaay [red coral lipped
mouth]. 

Thereby, adiyEn can enjoy his yoga nithrA; He gets up
and looks at me first? hence adiyEn gets the bliss of
having his divinely Beautiful ThirumEni as a feast for
my eyes. And also adiyEn is at His beck and call to
hold the golden bowl for Him to spit after rinsing His
most beautiful mouth.. He would also call me or
address me perhaps? [What a great anubhavam by AzhwAr
to aspire for this position! The King who had ruled
chera, Chozha Paandya dEsam, has aspired for holding
the golden bowl for the Lord to rinse His mouth and
spit into the bowl] It is a message to us, to be a
humble servant to Bhagawaan and Bhaagawathas and not
to be proud, arrogant, and great that we are equipped
with few cents in our bank or few huts in one corner
of His Kingdom. That is also His Blessing and His
property.  

Sri Muralidhar Rangaswamy shares His anubhavam for
this vers: In the third Pasuram, the Azhwar desires to
hold the spit bowl of Lord Srinivasa. The message here
is that when the Lord cleans his mouth with the water
from the bowl while brushing his teeth, his benign
glance will inevitably fall on the person who holds
the bowl. This is a sure shot method to obtain the
grace of the Lord. In the Daya Shatakam, Swami Desikan
states that a mere benevolent glance of Lord Srinivasa
is sufficient to absolve an individual of Deva Runa,
Rishi Runa and Pitru Runa. The Azhwar points out an
excellent method for obtaining this blessing. This
Pasuram is also indicative of the fact that Bhaktas
throng to the Temple of Srinivasa in large numbers and
vie with one another to have a Darshanam of Lord
Srinivasa just like Brahma, Indra and Rudra compete
with one another to get a Darshanam of Lord Narayana
at Thirumala. Hence, the entrance gate to the Temple
of Lord Srinivasa is just as difficult to enter as the
door to Sri vaikuntam. "Wouldn't it make my task
easier if I wait for the Lord at the gate [Vaikunta
Dwaram] holding his spit bowl, and be assured of his
Darshanam?" This seems to be the thought of the
Azhwar.
