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.
