koNdu? Brahma, rudra and the other devas do not just stop with
prostrating the lord for attaining their wishes and getting rid of obstacles
(ishta prApthi/anishta nivarthi) but they are filled with deep involvement to do
kainkaryam (divine service) to the lord.
During the time of divine worship (thiruvArAdhanam) they rush with the
necessary ingredients viz., umbrella (kudai), fan (sAmaram) etc and stand in
front of the lord with folded
hands. (mangul thOi
senni vadavEnkataththAnai) That thiruvenkatavan, one who resides in divine
thirumalai that divine hill that stands so high as if its peaks touch the
clouds; The devas feels that it is against their dignity to place their foot on
this land. But now the lord had
made it easy for the devas to come and prostrate him as the thirumalai almost
touches their feet. (kAppanivAN
kangul pugundhArgal) They come and go every morning and evening (dawn and dusk)
to do thiruvandhikAppu (mangalAsAsanam) to the divine lord at
thirumala. Who are
they? (thingal sadaiyEra
vaiththAnum)
Chandra surrendered to
rudra after severe sufferings due to the curse of dakshaprajApathi. Rudra saved chandra and placed chandra
on top of his head. Even that rudra
and all others who consider themselves to be powerful to save others when they
come to thirumalai forget all their efficiencies and fall to the divine feet of
emperuman. (thAmarai
mElAnum) Brahma, who was born
from the divine stomach of the supreme lord and one who involves himself in the
divine creation of the universe; Inrespective
of rudra who uplifted chandra from his grief or brahma who resides in the
thirunAbeekamalam of emperuman all surrender to the divine feet of
thiruvenkatamudaiyan. (kudaiyEra thAngu viththu koNdu pugundhArgal) All come
to the divine sannadhi of thiruvenkatavan with the necessary articles for
worship like kudai (umbrella) and
others; (thAngu
viththu kondu) ?dhariththu
kondu? Holding the necessary articles reads the vyakhyana srisookthi of
Swamy periyavAchAn pillai.

that even they themselves enjoy seeing that ? reads appillai?s
commentary. (kangul
pugundhArgal) they reach thirumalai during all sandhis (dawn and
dusk). (To
