SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all, 

After mudhal aazhwArs, next we have begun to enjoy
Thirumazhisai AzhwAr?s verses on thiruvEnkatam.
Today?s verse is 39th in Naanmukhan ThiruvanthAthi.. 

Why this word naanmukhan ThiruvanthAthi- you may
wonder. AchAryAs enjoy this AzhwAr?s works, and
address them as the sword that has been taken out of
its cover (from the waist band) to destroy other non-
vaidika and non-truthful, false notions and doctrines
and to establish that Sriya: pathi Sriman Narayanan is
Parathvam and AzhwAr has NOT still put the sword back 

Since the 1st pAsuram starts with Naanmuganai, this
work is called ?Naanmugan Thiruvandhaadhi (NMT in
short). 
The first verse is: 

naanmuganai NaaraayaNan padaitthaan* Naanmuganum/
thaan mugamaay sankaranaip padaitthaan * yaan
mugamaay/
andhaadhi mElitaaRivitthEn aazhporuLaich*/
sindhaamaR koNmin neer thErndhu./

NarayaNan created BrahmA (chathur mukha- naanmugan-
four faced one); BrahmA (thus became the instrument)
and created the universe starting with Sankaran. And
this I have been blessed to announce in this most
important truth. Oh People! you all see, understand
the truth in this and don?s let it get out of your
mind. MahOpanishad declares this truth that Narayanan
is the One who cause of creation for all dEvAs through
BrahmA whom He first created.  (Thus, AzhwAr implies,
by getting to know the Creator, and the births of
BrahmA and Sivan, you all can get rid of your future
births.) He- sriman Narayanan is the Only One who has
not parent.. or Father. Chathur mukha BrahmA?s father
is Narayanan; Rudran?s father is Chathurmukha brahmA; 

Swethaswathara Upanishad states that the Supreme Being
first created Brahma. [yo brahmaanm vidhadhaathi
poorvam]. The Upanisahd clearly points out that Brahma
was brought into existence by Narayanan and that from
Narayanawas born Rudra etc.. [Narayanaat Brahmaa
jaayathE; Naaraayanaath RudrO jaayathE] In the same
manner, MahOpanishad relating to primary cause of the
Universe says: [In the beginning] only Narayana
existed, nether Brahma, nor Isaana [Rudra], nor the
heaven; nor the earth; nor the stars; nor the water
and the fire; nor the moon and the sun. [ekO ha vai
nArAyaNa Aseeth; na brahma nEsAnO nApO nAgnisOmau meme
dhaavaa prthivI na nakshathraani na sooryO na
chandramaah:] 

Let us now come back to our enjoyment of
ThiruvEnkatam.. 

azhaippan thiruvENG kadaththaanaik kaaNa,
izhaippan thirukkoodal kooda, - mazhaippE
raruvi maNivaranRi vandhizhiya, yaanai
veruvi yaravodungum veRpu.            39

I am calling sincerely ThiruvEnkadatthaan, and am
blessed with His darshan. On this huge Venkatagiri,
when the rains waters fall down with vociferous roars
carrying with them, the bright precious gems and
stones with lustre, the elephants get scared of the
brightness thinking that it is all fire sparks; the
long deadly pythons run away with fear thinking that
it is the lightning. Such wonderful ThirumalA, I would
like to join with it. (Here AzhwAr says Thirukkoodal
kooda azhaippan means: To find out if what we wish
will materialise, there is a method. i.e. Keep drawing
concentric circles, one inside the other, and check if
it even in number or odd. If it is odd, it will not
materialise. Thus, AzhwAr tries to see if he is going
to join Thirumalai Srinivasan) and he gets even? 

The Azhwar refers to the celebration of the Thiruvonam
festival at Thiruvenkadam (Tirumala) when every God
including Brahma and Rudra propitiate Him. Though the
39th verse beginning with the word, Azhaippan, is said
to be Azhwar's call to the Lord of Tirumala by a
method known as Koodal Izhaithal (drawing circles), it
is considered by the Acharyas and other scholars as a
reference to the Lord of Thirukkoodal (Madurai).
