SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest all, After mudhal aazhwArs, let us continue to enjoy Thirumazhisai AzhwAr?s verses on thiruvEnkatam. Today?s verse is the 42nd verse in Naanmukhan ThiruvanthAthi.. senRu vaNanguminO sENuyar vEngadaththai, ninRu vinaikedukkum nIrmaiyaal, enRum kadikkamala naanmuganum kaNmoonRath thaanum, adikkamalam ittEththu mangu. 42 Reach that tall mountain of ThiruvEmkatam and pay obeisance to Him. This Greatest Mountain, by its very nature, removes the sins of all those who pay their obeisance to this Lord of ThiruvEnkatam at all times. The most fragrant Lotus born BrahmA, and the three eyed Sivan too offer Lotus flowers at the Lotus Feet of Srinivasa PerumAL and pay their praNaamams at this sthalam at ALL TIMES. The ThiruvEnkata veRRpu [mountain] is the One that crushes all our paapams. vEm plus katam means: The one that burns the paapams. This is the mountain where even BrhamA and Sinvan come and offer the lotus flowers at the Lotus Feet of Srinivasan; as it is more easily accessible unlike Milky ocean. Srinivasan is such a sowlabhyan- waiting to crush our paapams- readily standing at all times for our sake. Thus those who can have an access to PaaRkadal also come here and consider this as better. He is The Supreme Lord thus being worshipped by even Chathur mukha BrahmA and Rudran. In mantraraajapadha sthothra, the most eminent Rudra himself declares as follows: dAsabhoothA: swatha: sarvai aathmaana: paramaathmaana: | athO(S)hamapi thE dAsa: ithi mathvA namAmyaham }} All Atmans are the servants of that Paramaathman by their nature. So, I am also Your dAsa. Knowing thus, I seek refuge in You.. It is declared clearly that demi gods like BrahmA, Rudra et al are not upaasyas for a person who is desirous of Moksha. Sriman Narayanan is the upasya of even Brahma and Rudra as well as other aspirants of liberation. samsaaraarNavagnaanaam vishayaakraantha ChEthasaam | vishNupOtham vinaa naanyath kinchithasthi paraayaNam || For people whose minds are over possessed by the objects of senses and who are drowning in the ocean of samsaara, there is no refuge other than the boat of the form of VishNu. Rudra states: Sri Hari alone is to be meditated upon always by you who are established in Satva; That Supreme Lord is verily the Upaaya; I am only a means to that meditation of the Supreme. harirEktha sadhA dhyEya: bhavadhbhi: sattvasThithai: | upAsyO(S)yam sadhA viprA: upAyOsmi harE smruthi: || There can not be any more unambiguous and unparalleled Truth.
