SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwArs wonderful
verses on Thiruvenkatamudiayaan.

kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram
yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama:

I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the
whole world, to destroy the darkness of
ignorance(a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the
Kali dhOsham.

Let us enjoy Periya Thirumozhi 9.9.9 on ThiruvEnkatam.

Prelude to this ten:

AzhwAr had pleaded Emperumaan to get him rid of the
worldly life to attain Emperumaan. It did not happen.
AzhwAr loses himself and gets into Parakala nAyaki
bhAvam, when she has already had experience of uniting
with the Lord and the Lord has now deserted her. Due
to her suffering, she is not able to express herself
and the ?mother? of Parakala nAyaki speaks.

valampuri yaazhi yaNnaivarai yaar_thiraL
thOLaNnRaNnNnai,
pulampuri nNoolava Nnaippozhil vENGgada vEdhiyaNnai,
chilambiya laaRudai yathiru maaliruNY chOlainNiNnRa,
nNalanNthigazh nNaaraNa NnainNaNu kuNGgoleNn
nNaNnNnuthalE!  9.9.9

The One who has the Divine ChakrA and the Conch on His
resplendent strong mountain like shoulders; who has
worn the thread (pooNool), the darshan of which is the
great enjoyment for all; who stands at ThiruvEmkata
malai; who is the essence of Vedas; -is here at
ThirumaalirunchOlai, - the personification of all
auspicious qualities, Narayanan- will my girl be able
to approach Him?

Here AzhwAr refers to the name NARAYANAN? Naaraanaam
ayanam yasya sa: 
He is the essence of all Vedas; Veda Vaedhyan; He is
the Lord with no imperfections; he is the Lord of
infinite kalyANa GuNAs; 

Uttering or reading Narayanaanuvaakam, Purusha
sooktham, Upanishads- one would realise the Supreme
Lord unambiguously; though Vedas mention about Surya,
Brahma, Rudra, Agni Indra et al, the words need to
understood by looking at the statement before and
after and to be understood in overall context to avoid
getting misled. It can all be clearly understood [says
Alavandhar] that these words all refer to You-
Narayana.  [These verses are to be read as addressed
to Narayana to praise His Supremacy and also in order
to clear the confusion of half baked VaidIka as well. 

Sthothra Ratnam verse 12 refelcts the same essence in
crystal clear manne

Ka:sree: sriya: paramasattva samaasraya ka: 
Ka:puNdareeka nayanah purushOtthama ka:
Kasyaayuthaayuthasathaika kalaamsakaamSE 
Viswam vichithra cidhachith pravibhaaga vrittam. [12]

Who is Lord of even SrI:? Who is Her sole Master? Who
is the SrI of SrI? Who is the personification and
repository, as well as nirvaahakan of Sattva guNA? Who
is the red lotus eyed Lord beyond compare? Who is the
PurshOtthaman- above all beings- chief of Purusaas-
Purushaanaam Utthaman.. whose billionth and billionth
of minutest part of one small portion of Your
multi-folded and manifold powers, is this entire
universe- including jeeva and matter in different
states and existence, functioning? 

There are many statements in Vedas declaring creation
of this world..  if one tries to analyze them in
totality without violating any of these statements
with each other, then one would realize that Sriman
Narayanan alone is cause for of this manifested
worlds. Creator is Brahma; and protector is Vishnu-
you may argue. One has to look at Purushasooktham; It
is the grandest of all sruthis; it is there in all
Vedas; There only Sriman Narayanan is mentioned as
Purushan. He is the Lord of BhUmA Devi and Sree Devi-
says Purusha sooktham. 

Upanishads in one voice have declared that Sriman
Narayanan is the Paradevatha; This kind of scriptural
authority is not at all found in support of other demi
gods in Upanishads. 

In swEthaswathOra Upanishad, yEkO Rudra: viSwAdhikO
Rudra: are mentioned; But even there Purusha sooktha
mantras are mixed; VedaahamEtham purusham mahaantham-
naanya: panthA ; PurusEna sarvam- etc.. Who grants
Sattva guNA correctly?- it is uttered here as : mahaan
prabhurvai purusha satvasyaisha pravarrthaka: means:
Narayanan ? Purusha is the One who blesses with Sattva
gunA; It is very clear to all that BrahmA is the
master of rajasa guNA; Rudra, Thamasa guna and Vishnu
? Satva guNA. If one is blessed with a glance
[kataaksham] of Vishnu at his birth, he is supposed to
be a saatvIkI- and is blessed with Madhusoodhana
kataaksham. Thus, in this Upanishad Rudra word means:
the One who destroys Samsaaris affliction- samsaaric
disease- namely Sriman Narayanan as Sivan also means-
mangaLam- auspiciousness. 

Thu He alone is Utthama purushan- Chief among
Purushas. KaNNan himself declares that in GitA that He
is Purusha Utthaman. In GitA, the entire universe is
housed in a minutest part of His greatness and
glories. 

Who is He? He is the master and Lord of Sree? He is
the Sree of Sree.. Thiruvukkum Thiruvaagiya selvan.
She is His [Vishnu] PathnI and He is Sriya: Pathi.
Have no doubts. He alone is the Lord; He alone can
grant mOksha; The Supreme Lord is only Sriya: Pathi
Sriman Narayanan- declares Sage Veda Vyasa? .

What a brilliant verse ? by Sri YamunAchArya!
