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..
