Dear Madhavakannan swamy,

I have been more or less following ur nice treatise on swamy Deshikan. I just 
was wondering if "Vairagya panchakam " (sweet five & highly meaningful verses ) 
is covered in your treatise (may be.. because I dont claim that I got all). If 
not this along with the anecdote is an important one to be covered too. Another 
aspect is the following which I saw u have touched upon. 

Swamy Deshikan played a great role in safeguarding Lord Ranganatha both 
moolavar & Utsavar against muslim invasion (Uloog Khan attacked srirangam after 
winning the great Kakatiya empire-Prataparudra gajapati was captured & taken to 
Delhi). The swamy built the stone screen ' Kalthirai' with his own hands- the 
great Mason to moolavirat of Sri Ranganatha & has worked out a great strategy 
to take out the wealth of Sri Rangam & Ranganatha to the forests of Tirupathi 
where the Lord spent 14 years (vanavasam). He influenced and in fact was 
instrumental in regrouping the hindu forces under the umbrella of Vijayanagar 
empire to route out muslims from south India, find back the Lord of Sri rangam 
& restore the Lord to his original position. During the invasion he also 
safeguarded 'Srutaprakashikai' a great treatise for 'sribhashyam'
