SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

After mentioning the key NithyasUris, now Alavandhar
mentions about the rest at srivaikuntam.

hathaakilaklesa Malai: svabhAvatha:
tvadaanukoolyaika rasaisthavOchithai:
gruheethatatttat parichaara saadhanair 
nishEvyamaaNam sachivair yathOchitham [43]

You are the Lord who is worshipped and served by the
Ones- who are free from all samsaaric affliction;
never bound by karma; never caught by ego, or any
other imperfections; whose only duty and pleasure is
to serve You (the Lord) uninterruptedly; who are
eternal ones [at srivaikuntam]; who on their own
nature, [with the blessings of the Lord and due to his
sankalpam] also possess expanded knowledge (dharma
bhUtha jnAnam in expanded form in full glories); who
is ever devoted to You at all times; who match You in
form; and who wait at Your feet waiting for Your agnyA
to serve You- while enjoying You.

In yoga saasthrAs, the five are considered as klEsam..
namely, ajnAnam, ahankaram, desire, enmity and anger, 
etc.. Nithyasuris do not have them. Even mukthas
[jeevans who have been blessed to perform bhakti or
prapatti and have attained mOksham by the grace of
Sriman Narayanan and attained Paramapadham] do not
have; But, mukthas eternally are never like that; as
they were once in our world and were caught by the
samsaaric ocean and were bound by karmas, unlike
Nithyars. They can be thus called equal and matching
to You in all aspects except they can not create or
grant mOksham. Rest of having same roopam, same lokam,
same place and same glories of expanded dharma bhUtha
jnAnam are all equal to You. They always see enjoying
You- sadhA paSyanthi.. Though everyone can serve You
any kaimkaryam, they do not quarrel and fight for the
same kaimkaryam. [That is only for us?º ] Thus, You
enjoy being served by each one the crores of
NithuasUris serving unique kaimkaryam for You- only
You can do that. 

You consider them as equal to You and consider them as
friends. He is such a bhaktha vathsalan! 

He, during raama avathAram introduces SitA PiraaTTi
and Lakshamanan to Guhan as here is Your friend and
Your brother¡K what a sowseelyam! Let us enjoy that
pAsuram of Thirumangai mannan.. 

Ezhai Ethalan keezhmagan ennaa
thirangi maRRavaR kinnaruL suranthu
'maazhai maanmada nOkkiyun thOzhi;
umbi embi'en Rozhinthilai, uganthu
'thOzha Nneeyenak kingozhi' enRa
soRkaL vanthadi yEnmanath thirunthida,
aazhi vaNNa!nin adiyiNai yadainthEn
aNipo zhilthiru varangaththam maanE     (5.8.1)

A great pAsuram!
yEzhai- yEthalan- Keezhmagan- AzhwAr refers to Guhan..
Lord Ramachandran- hugged Guhan and said, "ninnudan
aivarAnOm- with you, we  have become five brothers..
What a quality! Sowseelyam! (ability to mix freely
with those much below one's status and level)

Guhan- illiterate and immersed in sensual pursuits;
always kills (being
a hunter); born in low caste; Still, You did not look
down at him; You 
showered Your grace on him; and also said to him,
further, -This  darting, deer eyed  Seetha is your
friend; this younger brother is your brother too- Not
just that. He added that You are my friend; the fifth
brother (in our family). (Kamban says "Guganodum
ivaranOm.)

Such  a sowseelyam ! These words of Yours are ringing
in my heart always. Hence I have a hope too. Oh
merciful Lord! Sri Ranga swAmI! AdiyEn surrenders at
Your Feet!

He is Sarvagnan- Omniscient; One who knows everything
and about every being. He knows all our thoughts
(however bad or wrong they are! or how much ever we
have tried to hide from others!) But He does not
dislike us for that. He is waiting for us to come to
His Lotus Feet. Once we 
surrender to Him: He (despite knowing all our follies
and deceits /cunning thoughts)showers His affection.
He does not look at our offering (the quantum of
that). He is ParipooraNan; He does not need anything
from us; Still, for a smallest step from us, He gets
pleased and offers Himself to us.

He is Sarva shakthan- Hence, He can grant what He
pledges that He will do. His attributes and kalyANa
guNAs are: Natural, unlimited, 

GnAnam, Bhalam, Aishwaryam, Veeryam, sakthi, tEjas,
such six qualities, 
sowseelyam(quality of mixing with the lower and
inferior ones);
vAtsalyam; mArdhavam (unable to bear the separation
from bhAgavathAs);
Arjavam(nErmai- honest); sowhArtham (thinking of good
to others at all 
times); sAmyam (does not see the level); kAruNyam
(pitying those who suffer); mAdhuryam (being good and
sweet to enemies, too);
ghAmbeeryam; AudhAryam(being "a kodai vaLLal"- Grants
Himself to those who surrender to His Lotus Feet);
chAturyam( capability to change enemies into friends);
sthairyam(determination), dhairyam (being brave);
sowryam( can fight alone in a battle);
parAkramam(ability to win effortlessly);
sathyakAmam(able to get what He desires);
sathyasankalpam(able to achieve what he thinks and
attempts);
kruthagnathai (grateful; not forgetting anyone's good
deeds, however 
smallest they may be like our small saraNAgathy);

Such qualities are flooded in our Lord!

Swamy Desikan says (in adaikkalappatthu):
umadhadigaL adaiginRen enRu oru kaal uraitthavarai....
thamadhu anaitthu avar thamakku vazhangiyum thaam miga
viLangum..

Once one surrenders to His Feet, saying, "I have come
to Your Feet.", He grants all His possessions to the
prapannan.The Lord is resplendent at the sight of the
prapannan and blesses him to enjoy all of His wealth
(Isvaryam) and looks at the prapannA with great
compassion and reveals through the gesture of His Hand
(as abhayam)that his one-time praaptthi alone is
sufficient to enjoy all of that bliss.

Naturally AzhwArs and Acharyas have fallen for the
Lord's such sowseelyam and sowlabhya kalyANa guNAs.

Please forgive me for my digression. I could not
control enjoying His vaathsalyam.
Alavandhaar ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam
