Sri:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas

In above verses, the Lord?s Supremacy [Parathvam] and
sowlabhyathvam [easy accessibility or stooping down to
our level]; the enjoyment that he grants us; the
sankalpam to get us rid of karmic diseases and hence
creates the universe through Chathu mukha brahmA,
brings out the jeevans, establishes saasthrAs through
sages, acharyans, and AzhwArs. Thinking of these,
Alavandhar desires for getting rid of the samsaaric
affliction and attain mOksham and wishes to take
refuge at His Feet. With an apprehension and fear
about the terrible samsaaram, feeling remorseful for
his own past, with utter helplessness [aakinchanyam],
realising His Parathvam, alongw with His sowseelya,
sowlabhyam, knowing that He is ubhaya vibhUthi nAthan
and it is only He who can take one from this vibhUthi
to another and grant mOksham, none else can be sought
after for this ? Alavandhar clearly understands. And
thus he pleads and appeals for the same and prays for
removing the hurdles for performing his path of
saranagathi- and hence he pays his obeisance again and
again.

namo namo vaangmanasaati bhoomayE
namo namo vaang manasaika bhoomayE
namo namo (S)nantha mahaavibhoothayE
namo namao(S) nantha dhayaika sindhavE [21] 

One who is Beyond the reach of speech, and mind-
obeisance to You again and again; One who is the Only
object of the same speech and mind- obeisance to you
again and again; One who has infinite greatest powers
? Swami for the two worlds- namely leela vibhUthi and
Nithya vibhUthi- obeisance to You again and again; One
who is the repository and ocean of compassion-
obeisance to You again and again. 

Unless He showers His grace, he can not be the object
of one?s speech and mind; Even if one is blessed by
His grace, does not mean, it is poorNam; He can not be
uttered completely fully comprehending His glories.
But He is the sole object of Speech and mind- even
though Vedas mentioned that yathO vaachO nivartthanthE
aprA Apya manasaa sa:? where speech does not reach, my
mind also does not and both return back failing in
their mission to fully praise Him? The very purpose of
our speech and mind ? being blessed with such speech
and mind- is to praise Him and contemplate on Him.
Else they are waste. Like Him, we need to also
comprehend His two vibhUthis quite well and know His
unbounded worlds. He is ubhaya vibhUthi nAthan. Since
He is so, He alone can take the beings from one place
to another. None else can. Then only our mind would
desire to reach his other vibhUthi and for that what
is the means or way to reach? His grace alone is
required. What we can do is to offer our praNAmams
again and again at His feet- so does Alavandhar. 

If one eats thirty two handfuls of food, it is enough
if we say- he ate food. Why should we say again and
again- why did Alavandhar say namO namO so many times.
When someone talks due to ecstatic love and intense
love, the words would come more times; it is normal
and seen in the day to day life itself. Muktha jeevans
always perform their nama: (praNamams) using their
mind, speech and action at all times. 

Also PaaramEswara samhitha says: dwidhA pradhakshiNam
kruyaath praNAmancha thathaavidham; naika thripancha
sapthAkya gaNanaavishamancha yad yadhassamO hi
bhagawaan dEvas sarvasya vai hari: - odd number of
pradhakshinam and praNAmams is not allowed as per this
samhitha. And hence since it should be even,
Alavandhar mentions even numbered nama: Also he
mentions four times twice namO ? meaning- ashtAnga
praNamam to the Lord. Also the mind, speech and body
all- performing praNamams to You again and again- also
may be the interpretation. 

The leelA vibhUthi [this world] and nithya vibhUthi-
Srivaikuntam- both are eternal- meaning- this world
will also remain as sookshuma roopam in his stomach
during mahaa praLayam. The leelA vibhUthi has the
upper boundary- but not lower. The Nitha vibHuthi has
got lower boundary but not upper. Since only due to
Your grace one can get rid of samsaaric world, please
bless me so and hence offering my praNamams.

Alavandhar ThiruvadigaLE saraNam

Namo Narayana
