Sri : Dear BhakthAs : After enjoying the AchArya and Bhagavath-bhakthi laden , moving paasurams of PeriyAzhwAr on Soumya NaarAyaNan , we hear the foot steps of the peripatetic Thirumangai Mannan in the garbha Graham . A veritable flood of Bhagavath anubhava preethi soaked paasurams immersed the Lord . Thirumangai dedicated 13 paasurams through his dhivya Vaak along the path laid out by PeriyAzhwAr , BhUthatthAzhwAr , Pey and Thirumazhisai AzhwArs . Let us enjoy first the paasurams of the of BHUtham , Pey and Thirumazhisai AzhwArs , who performed the MangaLAsAsanam of the EmperumAn of ThirukkOttiyUr with one paasuram each . BhUthatthAzhwAr ( IraNDAm ThiruvandhAthi : 46th Paasuram) ***************************************************************** PayinRathu Arangam THIRUKKOTTI pannAL payinruthavum VenkatamE pannAL-- payinRa taNI thihazhum sOlai aNi neermalayE maNi thihazhum vaNN tadakkai Maal (Meaning) : Oh my dear Mind ! I performed upadEsam for you to engage in the pracise of meditation on the sacred feet of the Lord. Meanwhile , our most compassionate Lord has started on His own initiative . This Lord , who is like a flawless blue gem with His powerful and bounteous arms has settled for our sake at Srirangam , ThirukkOttiyUr , ThiruvEnkatam , ThirumAlirumchOlai and Thiruneermalai. He has taken permanent residence to cultivate our friendship and win us over .He has nithya Vaasam at these dhivya dEsams for a long time to await our arrival . His vaathsalyam for us propels Him to take His residence as ArchA Moorthy at many dhivya dEsams like ThirukkOttiyUr to await our arrival at any one of the places . How much more generous can we expect HIm to be ? The incomparable soulabhyam (ease of access to one and all ) and the unlimited DayA of the Lord is saluted here . Pey AzhwAr ( MoonRAM ThiruvandhAthi: 62nd Paasuram) *********************************************************** ViNNagaram VehhA viri thirai neer Venkatam MaNNaharam MaamADa VeLukkai-- MaNNahattha Tenn Kudanthai tEnAr Thiruvarangam TENNKOTTI tannkudangai neeR yERRAn thAzhvu (Meaning) : Sriman NaarAyaNan relishes as His preferred places of residence the folowign dhivya dEsams to demonstrate His souseelyam and Soulabhyam and to confer on us His paramAnugrahams : ThiruviNNagar , ThiruvehhA , ThiruvEnkatam , ThruvELukkai , Thirukkudanthai , Thiruvarangam and ThrukkOttiyUr. The Lord who demonstrated His souseelyam through accepted the gift (dhAnam) of the three feet of land from MahA Bali by recieveing the symbolic water on His cupped hand . He put aside HIs Supermacy as the Lord of the Universe and begged for three feet of land with His dwarf form and sealed the acceptance of the gift by lowering His palm to rcieve the water poured there by MahA Bali. This magnanimous Lord stays at dhivya dEsams like ThirukkOttiyUr as sarva sulabhan( most easy to access) to grant us all the boons that we seek as SaraNAgathAs . Thirumazhisai Naanmukhan ThiruvandhAthi : Paasuram 34 *************************************************************** kuRippenakkyk-kOttiyUr mEyAnai yEttha kuRppenakku nanmai payakka , - - veRuppanO Venkatatthu mEyAnai meyvinai nOy yeythAmal, ThAnn kadatthum tanmayAn thALL (Meaning) : This Paasuram is one of the beautiful ones by Thirumazhisai on ArchAvathAra Moorthys at ThirukkOttiyUr and ThiruvenkadamudayAn .Here AzhwAr walks a delicate diplomatic line and confesses : " Yes , I am indeed firm of intent to eulogize Sri Soumya NaarAyaNan of ThirukkOttiyUr . There should not be any doubt about that heartfelt desire . Inspite of that driving interst , I have not forgotten the Lord of ThiruvEnkatam even for a moment . I meditate on Lord VenkatEsan's sacred feet for the removal of all samsAric afflictions and to gain ParipoorNa BrahmAnandham through nithya kaimakryam at His Supreme Abode of Sri Vaikuntam . After all , the name of the Lord of the Seven hills is Thiru VenkatatthAn (i-e) vEm kadayathi ithi Venkatam ( That which destroys all pApams and causes thereafter bliss : vEnkAra: amrutha bheejam syAth kadam iswaryam uchyathE ). In the next posting , we will focus on the Paasurams of Thirumangai AzhwAr on ThirukkOttiyUr Soumya NaarAyaNan.
