Dearest Srivaishnavas, 

Let us continue to enjoy PeiyAzhwAr?s wonderful
anubhavams on ThiruvEnkatam. Today?s verse on
ThiruvEnkatam is the 61st verse. 

paNdellaam vEngadam paaRkadal vaiguntham,
kondaNG kuRaivaarkkuk kOyilpOl, - vaNdu
vaLangiLarum neeLsOlai vaNpooNG kadikai,
iLangumaran RanviN Nakar                           61

AzhwAr enjoys here about the Paramapadha nAthan?s
Divya Dampathi?s compassion and concern, love for us
in taking forms in Vyooha, archA roopams. 

A great verse! The commentary has been excellent and
wonderful.

Vaikuntha nAthan out of His compassion thus resides in
Milky ocean [paaRkadal] for the sake of devas; and
then in divya desams namely ThiruvEnkatam, the
charming place Thirukkadigai sthalam with most
beautiful gardens; and the eternally Youthful Lord
residing ThiruviNNagar Divya Desam [as Oppiliappan]
etc..

AzhwAr here says that Paramapadha nAthan resides in
such places namely Milky coean and the divine Divya
Desams for us to enjoy seeing his Dhivya mangaLa
vigraham. Earlier (paNdu ellaam] he was in
Paramapadham and then later He has come to Milky
ocean; and then to these Divya Desams. As NammAzhwAr
says: angu vaitthu ingu piRandhu.. 

Esha nArayaNa sreemaan ksheeraarNava nikethana: 

Also commentator Sri Periya Vacchaan Pillai very
nicely infers AzhwAr ThiruvuLLam (alternaitively)
here: Earlier [Pandu ellaam] He was residing in
Paramapadham, PaaRkadal {milky ocean), ThiruvEnkatam,
ThiruviNNahgar, Thirukkadigai etc? for the sake of
those devotees.. That?s all. Meaning: what happens
now? If He was there at all tehse places earlier
(paNdu ellaam).. Now He is in my mind- says AzhwAr.
Once upon a time He was there in all these divya
desams; now He has entered into my heart.
 
A great anubhavam! It should not be taken in literal
sense. This is termed as rasOkthi. 

Srimad PaRavakkOttai Andavan about few years ago,
duringa teleupanyasam, mentioned the greatness of
archA roopam very nicely. This is the most appropriate
time to enjoy as it has direct reference to this
subject
 
[Translated by Sri Satakoapn Swami of Neewyork] The
superiority of ArchA rUpam among Sriman NarAyaNA's
pancha rUpams ( param, VyUham , Vibhavam , antharyAmi
roopam and ArchA ).

Parama padham, where the Lord is resident as Parama
padha nAthan is surrounded by the aNDams and the
aavaraNam waters (Oceans ). It is not of easy access
to us residing on earth . We can not travel there even
to get a vessel filled with aavaranam waters .It is
too far away .
Hence param and parama padham can not be enjoyed with
our sthUla sarIram . Only as a muktha Jivan possessing
Sookshma sarIram , one can enter and enjoy the
anthamil pErinbham there .

The second rUpam of the Lord is as Sesha saayee in the
 middle of the milky ocean .Here He is presenting
Himself as KshIrAbhdhi nAthan to DevAs and maharishis
. Again , this is beyond our reach with SthUla sarIram
. hence , it is not of much use either for us to see 
and enjoy. 

The Third rUpam of the Lord is what has been
celebrated as Raama , KrishNAvathArams. These Vinhava
avathArams were enjoyed by those who were
contemporaries. Today, it is history and we can not
enjoy Lord KrishNA as Gopis and AkrUrar did. Thus this
rUpam is in the past
like last year's river water , which is no longer
available to quench our thirst ( dried up river bed).

The fourth rUpam is antharyAmi savrUpam. It is likened
to OoRRu jalam . You have to dig in the river bed sand
and access the water under. Through the difficult
JNa~na Yogam, one can visualize this svarUpam of the
Divya dampathis seated in our heart cavities. Very few
have the power to succeed in such efforts and thus,
this svarUpam is
also not within reach of ordinary folks on this earth.


The fifth rUpam is the One that Sriman NaarAyaNan took
to make Himself easily available to one and all and to
enjoy Him with our own sthUla sarIram and Maamsa
chakshus. No divya dhrushti as needed by ArjunA is a 
must to see the VisvarUpam of the Lord."angu vaitthu,
inghE piRanthathu? is the celebration of this
ArchAvathAram by Eedu grantham 

Srimath Andavan went on to describe the five rUpams
celebrated by Vedams in the manthram in the manner of
tamizh maRai :

ambhasya paarE bhuvanasya madhyE 
naakasya prushtE mahathO mahIyAn 
sukrENa jyOthIgumshi samanupravishta:
PrajApathisccharathi garbhE antha :
-- TaittirIya AaraNyakam : III.13.3

Here in archA avathAram, the Lord has become very
accessible to us.
