Dear Sri Sadagopaniyengar swamina:, Namaskarams. The present and previous essays were very interesting and informative. Adiyen was sorry that a fall into the trench in tirumalai and consequent injury to you was the cause of this creditable essay on the panchendriyas of God doing all jobs equally well. Well it was an accident that led to Ramayana also. We may add that Lord Ranganatha also has such capabilities vide "nayanasravano drisha shruNoshi hyatha te rangapate maheshitu; KaranAirapi kAmakAriNaste ghatathe sArvapathiinamiikshaNam" from Srirangarajastavam. Regarding "Kan kodutta deivam' which is another fine essay, in the following passage "Repenting having incorporated such disparaging remarks even as a matter of fiction, Sri Venkataadhvari paid obeisance to Perundevi Tayaar and Perarulaala Perumal at Kanchi, composing a thousand verses known as Vishnu Sahasram (including 200 on Devapperumal alone) and another thousand verses on Sri Perundevi, known as Lakshmi Sahasram. These works display deep devotion, excellent poetic imagery and unparalleled ingenuity with wordplay. Pleased with the devotion, Tepperumal made the poet see again, living up to His reputation as a restorer of lost sight." adiyen has a small doubt. In Lakshmisahasram sri Venkatadhvari has described about venkateswara and sheshachala many times but not once has the reference to Varadaraja or Hastigiri is made. Eg "vishvasargAdiliilAya venkatabrahmane nama:" "bhaje bhujangasailesha bhujantara parishkriyAm" "shraye sheshachalamane: shArngiNo hridayangamAm' All these prove that the poet was Lord venkatesa's devotee and prayed to Lakshmi in His chest. Please explain how Varadaraja could have cured the poet's eye problem. Dasan Ramanuja dasan --------------------------------- Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about.
