SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, Now Alavandhaar describes the Lord being seated with Her in Srivaikuntam. thayaa sahaaseenam anantha bhOgini prakrshta vignAna balaika dhaamani paNaamaNi vrAthamayooka maNdala prakAsamAnOdhara dhivya dhaamani [39] With such Greatest PiraaTTi [ocean of dayaa- compassion], You are seated on the Divine Body of ThiruvananthAzhwAn [AdhisEshan], who has aprAkrutha dhivya maNi maNdapa above him; who is the sole seat of infinite effulgence, jnAnam [knowledge] and strength; with the whole SrIvaikunta illumined by the rays arising out of the gem stones in the thousand heads or hood of AnanthaazhwAn. vaikuNtEthu pare lOkE sriyaa saarddham jagathpathi: aasthE vishNu rachinthyAthmA?. ? Alavandhaar mentions the same here. Just like the Lord, even Adhi sEshan is addressed as Ananthan. Sri Visnu purANA also mentions AnanthAzhwAn as: naantham guNAnAm gacchanthi dhEnAnanthOyam ucchyathE? whatever size, form, the Lord takes, AnanthAzhwAn also takes the same compatible size to serve Him. He performs immeasurable, innumerable kinds of service [kaimkaryam] to the Lord. Though he has many guNAs, he exhibits only jnAna, bala guNAs to match abd enjoy being the favourite of the Lord ? who is SankarshaNan. SaasthrAs say that the five forms of jyOthisha sasthrA was established by AnanathAzhwAn only. Also it is AnanthAzhwAn who blessed us with Sri Bhasshyam [by taking the most compassionate Acharya avathAra namely Sri Ramanujacharya]. Not only does He support the worlds; He lets the Lord and Sree, bhU, neelA dEvis sit on him and crush his body with their leelAs and playful deeds. He is possessed with such bala [strength]. During mahaa praLayam, when none is there except the Lord as a small Baby having all the worlds in His stomach lying down on the little Banyan leaf, AdhisEshan was the leaf; When He took takes avathArams, He also appears as brother, or umbrella (in Vamana), in the padhukas during ParasurAma, as the horse in Kalki avathAram. He is thus Paraanujan; vibhavaanujan; archAnujan as well He is the kuNdalini in the Haarda avathAram. He is the beauty, softness, fragrance, and tenderness personified for the Lord?s bed. The beauty of Adhi sEshan with his radiant white hue is captivating. He is like a mountain made up of dazzling silver. On that soft and beautiful seat, the Lord is resting like an emerald mountain. From there, our Lord, the master of all nithya sUris, rules all the universes. Swami Desikan describes the Lord as Marathaga Giri ( emerald mountain) seated on the rajatha giri (silver mountain) of Adhi sEshan , which is His bhOga Paryankam (enjoyable throne /bed) The brightness from gems from the thousand heads hides the real light of Srivaikuntam and shed this light. Such effulgent form is AdhisEshan?s. Thus along with Periya PiraaTi, You are seated on top of AnanthAzhwAn. You are Sriya: Pathi. Here one can enjoy and contemplate Savya paadham? the dhyAna sloka of Ashtaakshara manthra.
