SrI:

Dear SrI MKS:

The famous Paasuram dealing with the EmperumAn of 
ThiruvahIndhrapuram have a special significance 
to rasikAs of Dhivya prabhandham (Sacred Collect )
of Swamy NammAzhwAr.

This Paasuram (3085 in the 4000 Dhivya prabhandham
count ) is housed as ThiruvAimozhi.10.2.1

kedumidarAyavellAm KESAVAvenna , nALum 
koduvinai seyyum kooRRin tamarkaLum kuruhahillAr
vidamudaiyaravil paLLi virumbhinAn surumbalaRRum
tadamudai vayal Ananthapura nagar PUHUTHUM INRE 

This is the first of the ten paasurams on
Thiruvananthapuram , who points out the importance
of this dhivya desam and the significance of reciting
the Naamam of KesavA in this paasuram for Moksham .

Swamy NammazhwAr instructs us in His AchAryan's
role to utter the name of Kesavan , a celebrated name of
Lord KrishnA. On utterance , all the ills , griefs 
and sins (kodu vinaikaL yellAm ) will be banished 
and the servants of Yama (Yama DhUtharkaL ) will 
run away from You .Let us start on our yAthrai 
to Thiruvanathapuram to worship the Kesava Anantha-
Padmanaabhan TODAY There He is resting on His soft
bed of AadhisEshA amidst the ponds and rice paddy fields ,
where the bees/nithya sooris perfrom Kesava nAma 
sankIrthanam . Any interference to the iniitative to
start on the journey to Thiruvananthapuram itself 
will be destroyed by the utterance of Kesava nAmam.
You do not even need to know the deep meanings 
of this Naamam. Just recite this specail name of the lord
says Swamy NammAzhwAr. 

Swamy AlavanthAr did just that and was totally
lost in the enjoyment of the glories of the Lord of
Thiruvananthapuram and in that process forgot to
return home in time to keep His appointment to 
be iniitated in to His Kula dhanam of Yoga rahasyam
from His grandfather NaaTa Muni's Sishyar. PerumAL
of Thiruvanantha puram adequately compensated for 
that loss.

The slOkams quoted from VishNu PurANam and MahA Bharatham
to infrom us about the greatness of Kesava Naamm are: 

YasmAth thvayaiva dhushtAthmA hatha: kEsI JanArdhana:
TasmAth KesavanAmA thvam lOkE khyAthO bhavishyasi
--VishNu PurANam

NarakE pasyamAnAsthu YamEna paribhAshitha:
kim thvayA naarchithO Deva: Kesava: klesanAsana:
--BhAratham 

Kesava Naama sankIrthanam is thus recommended
for freedom from klEsams in this world and to 
prepare one for Moksha Praapthi.This is the Upadesam
of Swamy NammazhwAr as he hastens towards SrI Vaikuntam
and takes leave of selected dhivya dEsa EmperumAns
in the last centum of ThiruvAimozhi,
