SrI: 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 the 40th in Naanmukhan ThiruvanthAthi.. veRpenRu vEngadam paadinEn, vIdaakki nNiRkinREn ninRu ninaikkinREn, - kaRkinRa nNUlvalaiyil pattirundha nUlaatti kELvanaar, kaalvalaiyil pattirundhEn kaaN. 40 I just wished to utter a mountain name and have sung the Thirumalai mountain. Immediately, I am standing here as my home and with the certainty of mOksham i.e this mountain residence itself for me. I am enquiring myself as to how a simple one utterance, with such a small deed of uttering ThirumalA, I am blessed with SUCH GREATEST pErAnandham /mOksham i.e. staying here. I am by getting myself caught and be there forever in the trap (net) of the Lotus Feet of Sri LakshmI Nathan, Sriya: Pathi -SarvEshwaran Sriman Narayanan, who is trapped in the net of Vedas and SaasthrAs- i.e. adhering to saashthrAs and Vedas- that are apaurushEyam, and proclaim the Supremacy of Sriman Narayanan. I have been meditating only on His Blessing of my being in this ThirumalA and on Himself- the Sriya: Pathi.. A wonderful verse. Having looked into, studied the Vedas, Vedantha saasthrAs, Smruthi, Ithihasas[epics] puraaNaas, etc., in tandem, one would be blessed with an unambiguous knowledge of Supremacy of Sriman Narayanan and Sri Mahalakshmi as the Divya Dampathi. They both adhere to the saasthrAs ?which are authorless and are apourushEyam. One can only comprehend Divya Dampathi only through saasthrAs and not thorugh logic or perception. The same saasthrAs [Vedas] proclaim that He is also in the net of Sri MahalakshmI?s spell and listens to Her.. He is Sriya: Pathi and She is Vishnu pathnee. Thus both adhere to saasthrAs and abide by SaasthrAs. They both are saasthra vasyars. It is They ? who have taken a pledge to protect and save those who have surrendered to Them; and because they both are sathya sankalpars, They do not go against their word. Also He listens to Her; He is in Her net and hence the most compassionate Mother- due to Her vaathsalyam on Her children, appeals to Him to save the Saranagathars. She is the personification of anugraham. She will not change; Nor will He as He listens to Her and is in Her net.. [In the PancharAtra smahitA, SrI Maha Vishnu explains to his senior disciple VishvaksenA, the nature and attributes of His consort, Sri Mahalakshmi. He states that She is the resting place of all Gurus, ruler of all worlds, eternal and imperishable. He elaborates further on their relationship: Just as the Universe is pervaded by me both in essence and quality, all this is pervaded by Her also . Therefore, She is the disposer and ruler of all.... She is pervaded by me and similarly, I, the Lord, am also pervaded by Her. The difference between me and Her is that She, who is the ruler of all is subservient to me on Her own accord being sahadharmachaarinI.. To Her as well as the Universe that I am the Lord, is well known in Vedas. In the same PancharAtra SamhitA, Sri Mahalakshmi herself has explained about Herself and Her consort, their pervasion and their ruler ship. Sri Vatsya Varada Guru [also called as Nadhadhoor ammaaL, the author of the illustrious work on SaranAgathi known as Prapanna ParijAtha has elaborated on the relationship between the divine couple as follows : That supreme energy of Brahman, which is as is lustre to the moon, is the Goddess Lakshmi , who is coexistent with Brahman in all His conditions, and who is in His own nature and is indestructible. Thus She is endowed with the three capacities of UPAYATVA(being the means), UPEYATVA (being the end) and PURUSHAKAARA (being the mediatrix) and is the ruler of the whole world] AzhwAr says: Hence I am also blessed to be in Their net, having surrendered to Their Lotus Feet- says AzhwAr. I had just wished to utter some mountain name; and started singing ThiruvEnkatam only. He, out of His dayA on me, has blessed me the same as my home itself. That itself is mOkshasthAnam for me. When am simply flabbergasted and amazed by His vaathsalyam and overawed, I can not but meditate in His Lotus Feet and Sri Mahalakshmi. Here AzhwAr mentions first, singing; standing in Thirumala; and thinking or meditating on Him. Vaak, kaaya and manas are referred to. the speech, body and mind all act in unison..
