SrImathE Gopaladesikamahadesikaya namah:
 
Dearest Srivaishnavas, 
 
Let us continue to enjoy PeiyAzhwAr?s wonderful
anubhavams on ThiruvEnkatam. Today?s verse on
ThiruvEnkatam is the 70th verse. 
 
pukumathatthaal vaaypoosik keezthaaznthu, aruvi
ugumathatthaal kaalkazuvik kaiyaal, migumathatthEn
viNdamalar koNdu viRalvENG kadavanaiyE,
kaNdu vaNangum kaLiRu.                                
 70
 
Yet another poetic skill and narration by AzhwAr! 
The male lion generally has waters oozing out of its
hood and also from its eyes. The waters that ooze out
of its hood trickles down its face and so does the
water from its eyes. It appears these waters enter
into its mouth and the elephant washes its mouth. The
water coming down like the water-falls washes off feet
also. Thus cleansing itself, plucking the honey
dripping fragrant flowers with its trunk, the elephant
offers the same at the feet of ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan,
knowing the Supremacy of ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan; it
prostrates and pays its obeisance. 

One should approach Bhagawaan with clean body, [and
mind also]. AzhwAr sees the elephant having its face
and mouth with waters and waters flowing down to its
legs - enjoys that the elephant performs Achamanam
uttering achuthaaya namah: ananthaaya namah: and
Govindhaaya namah: 

It plucks the flowers and offers at the feet of the
Lord ? the unparalleled One- ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan and
prostrates at His Feet. Even the elephant (the animals
are not supposed to have as much intellect and vivEkam
as human beings) realises His greatness and pays its
obeisance, performs Saranagathi. Should we, so called
more intelligent not realise and be aware of His
Supremacy, our eternal belongingness to Him and follow
aachaaram and anushtanam by going to Him purer;
perform nithya karma like Sandhyavandhanam etc.. ? The
list will go on... 

He is Sarva Swami; akila jagath Swamin; asmath
swaamin. He is the only one who can save us from
samsaaric affliction.

This reminds me of: [Sri Satakopan Swamin's post few
years ago- extract is given below]

Sriman KrupAjala Nideh sritha sarvaloka
Sarvajna saktha natha vatsala sarvaseshin I
Swaamin Suseela Sulabhaasrita PaarijAtha 
Sri Venkatesa charaNou saraNam Prapathyeh II

The slokam goes on to offer Prapatthi at the Lotus
feet of the Lord. This slokam addresses the easily
accessible Paarijaatha pushpam standing on the top of
the seven Hills as Sarva Seshin [master of all]   
Sarvajnan [the Omniscient], Krupaajala Nidhi [the
wealth of Krupai- grace and compassion], Sarva
Shakthan [Omnipotent] and SwAmin [Master]. Each of the
Naamaas incorporated in this verse are powerful
reminders of the Lord of Alamelu Mangaa , who has
Dayaa as His cardinal Kalyaana GuNam. 

Each of these Naamaas can be connected to Dayaa DEvi
saluted by Swami Desikan in his Daya Sathakam. Swami
Desikan has invoked Lord Srinivasa's Dayaa as a Devi
and conversed with Her through the Slokas of DayA
sathakam.
