Dear BhagavathAs,
after looking into the mail of Sriman Narasimhan
swamin about the enquiry of "Varadaraja Sthavam"
by Swamy KoorathAlwan, adiyEn had the thought of
that SlOkam. Actually it is one among the "Pancha
Sthavam" composed by Swamy KoorathAlwan. THe other
were:
1)Sri VaikunTa Sthavam on Sri Paramapada nAthan
2)Sri Sthavam on Sri Mahalakshmi PirAttiyAr
3)AthimAnusha Sthavam on VibhavAvatAram emperumAn
4)Sri Sundara bhAgu Sthavam on ThirumAlirun chOlai
Kalazhagar-archAvatAram
5)Sri VaradarAja Sthavam on Sri Hastigiri pErarulAlan
Sri Sundara bhAgu sthavam was composed by ALwan when
he was in ThirumAlirunchOlai after he lost his eye
sight due to the atrocity committed by the cruel
King Kirumikanda Chozhan-Sri Vaishnava thvEshi-.
After the return of Swamy EmperumAnAr from ThirunArA
yana puram, Swamy Ramanujar requested Alwan to compose
one Sthavam on behalf of Hastigiri pErarulAlan to get
back his sight again.
Instead Alwan requested PerarulAlan to grant mOksham
to NAlUrAn (his sishyA) who committed bhAgavatha
apachAram, since NaalUrAn is responsible for lost of
his AchAryan eyesight. Such is the greatness of Swamy
KooratAlwan!! Thats why AmudanAr says that "Its
difficult to explain the vaibhavam of Alwan in any
language" in Ramanusa NooTTrandhAthi.
The above five Sthavams are together known as "Pancha
Sthavam". The greatness of these five were stated
by Sri ParAsara Bhattar in Swamy KooratAlwan's
thaniyan as:
"SrivathsachinhamisrEbhyONama ukthim adheemahE
yadhukthyas-thrayeekaNDE yaanthi MangaLasoothrathAm"
Meaning:
KooratthAzvAn's Sri Sookthis have attained the state
of
ThirumAngalyam (auspicious thread worn by Sumangalis)
around the Vedha Maadha.We recite the word of Nama:for
the MahA PaNdithar,KurEsar with the same reverence as
we recite the sacred Veda manthrams.
-------------
From the above thaniyan, inspite of ALwar Sri
Sookthis,
other AchArya Sri Sookthis, IthihAsam such as
Ramayanam
Mahabharatam, PurAnams such as Vishnu Puranam,etc.,
Only Swamy KooratAlwan Sri Sookthis have attained the
state of ThirumAngalayam to Vedha Maadha. Such is the
greatness of the Pancha Sthavams and the composer
Swamy
kooratAlwan !!
His works has to be read by all SriVaishnavites which
is delicious and sweet to recite. While reciting Sri
Varadaraja Sthavam, the experince brings Hastigiri
PerarulAn in fronts one's eye.
In VaradarAja Sthavam, Swamy KoorathAlwan explained
about pErarulAlan in second slokam beautifully as
follows:
(This slokam is adiyens favourite slokam which can be
recited always which gives amrutham like feelings on
pErarulAlan)
Slokam 2
*********
SrInidhim nidhim-apAram-arTinAm
arTithArTa paridhAna dhIkshitham
Sarva-bhUtha-suhrutham dhayAnidhim
dEvarAjam adhirAjam AasrayE |
He is the wealth of PerumdEvi ThAyAr
(Thiruvukkum thiruvAhiya selvA –Kaliyan).
Already mahalakshmi is great nidhi for all.
But in Hasthigiri, HE (pErarulAlan) himself is
nidhi to Mahalakshmi(PerundEvi ThAyAr). Here HE
is like the deep mine of treasures!
He has taken a vow that, by standing on Hasthigiri he
will bless one with whatever they pray for the desired
goals of life (purushArthams) – arTithAaTa paridhAna
dhIkshitham.
HE has taken a dhIkshai that, he will grant the boons
to the bhakthAs whatever they requests (purushArthams)
at HIM.
He always thinks about conferring auspiciousness on
all
living beings (sarva bhUtha suhruth).
He is a treasure house of DayA – DdayAnidhim - DayaiyE
kadaintheduthArpOl iruppan – HE is made up of Dayai.
He
is the Swamy to all dEvAs, He is the King of dEvAs –
dEva rAjam – adiyEn seeks refuge at His sacred lotus
feet – adhirAjam AsrayE –
(If there is any mistake plz excuse adiyEn – as adiyen
is poor in sanskrit)
adiyEn,
senthil.b
