Sri:

Dear BhakthAs of Thiruvaheendhrapuram Achyuthan:

Let us study 5 more slOkams ( 41- 45 ) today .

SlOkam 41:( The description of the Lord's Thighs)
***************************************************************
DhaasAnAm Sathya dhrusyathE 
dhAnava veerNAm dheerga nidhrA Sayanam 
tavOdhara-sTitha thribhuvana prasAdha 
stambha-sacchAyam UrU-yugam

(Meaning according to D.R.Swamy): Daasa Sathya ! Your twin thighs 
are the final resting place for the vanquished asurA chiefs and they 
appear to be the sturdy pillars supporting the mansion of Thy stomach 
containing the three worlds .  

( Comments) : Adiyavarkku MeyyavanE ! Your thighs are the death bed
for the asura kings like Madhu-KaiDabhAs , HiraNyakasipu et al . They were 
crushed there and destroyed by You ( Tava Uru yugam dhaanava veerANAm
dheerga nidhraa Sayanam ) Swamy Desikan jokingly alludes to death
as dheerga nidhrA for the asurAs . Further , Your thighs are like the twin
pillars for supporting Thy palatial stomach holding all the three worlds
inside it  ( Tava Uru yugam udhara sTutha thribhuvana prasAdhAsya 
sTambhacchAyam bhavathy) .  

SlOkam 42:(The description of the Lord's sacred feet )
***********************************************************************
Jaanu MaNi dharpaNEna cha 
jangaa marakatha kaLAchikayA cha dhanyA
Achyutha na munjathy kaanthi
Lakshmeeriva sarOjalAnchanou Tava charaNou 

(Comments):The key words are : " Achyutha !  Jaanu jangaa Kaanthy
Lakshmi iva , SarOja-laanchanou Tava charaNou na munjathy ". Oh Lord!
Your knees and ankles do not part with Your lotus-emblemed feet like
MahA Lakshmi . Your knees shine like a mirror of gem . Your ankles with
the lustre of green gem , Maragatham  , are like the beautiful vessel for
holding thAmpoolam . Your sacred feet are marked by such signs of
beauty and have the lotus emblems on their soles . MahA Lakshmi 
presses those feet with Her lotus hands and is never seperated from 
them . Just like MahA Lakshmi does not leave them , the kaanthi of 
those feet never leave those sacred feet as well ( dhanyA kaanthii: 
Tava charaNou na munjathy) .

SlOkam 43 ( Continuation of the Salutation to the Lord's Thiruvadi)
*************************************************************************************
Sruthi seemantha prasUnam SObhathE 
natha Sathya Tava sarvacharaNyam
kramaNa kshaNa janitha sura-nadhee 
praSamitha thrailOkya pAthakam Padha padhamam 

(Meaning according to D.R.Swami) : Daasa Sathya ! Thy lotus foot , 
from which the Deva GangA emerged at the moment Thou didst measure 
the world  and thereby destroyed the sins of all the three worlds , that foot 
serves as the flower that bedecks the head of the VedAs and shines as 
the Protector of one and all .

(Comments): Thrivikrama avathAram is the focus of this slOkam .
The Veda Siras (Upanishads) adorn the Thiruvadi that measured 
the three universes as their head ornamnet ( Tava Padha Padhmam
Sruthy seemantha prasoonam) . The Divine GangA river , which arose at 
the time of Your measuring the universes with Your steps (kramaNa kshaNa
janitha Sura Nadhi ) removes all the sins of the people of these worlds 
thru Your sambhandham ( Sura Nadhi praSamitha thrailOkya paathakam ) .
Those sacred feet of Yours shine as the Protecting object for all (  Sarva
SaraNyam SObhathE ) . 

SlOkam 44 ( The enjoyment of the Lord by His adiyArs)
***********************************************************************
ithi thribhuvanaika moolam 
AasvAdhayanthyanagaa amrutha-svAdhu-rasam
Oshadhi Maheedhara paarsvE
udhitham ThvAm Oshadheemiva dhAsarujAm  

(Meaning according to D.R.Swamy) : The faultless ones thus enjoy Thee , 
Thee who didst emerge near(an) Oushadhi hill , who art the sole root for
all the three worlds , who art sweet as nectar , and who art the herb 
capable of curing Thy devotees of their sins .

(Comments) : With the previous slOkam , the limb by limb enjoyment
of the Lord's ThirumEni ended . This slOkam sums up the samudhAya (Collective)
Sobhai (beauty) of the Lord's dhivya MangaLa vigraham celebrated in slOkams 29
to 43 and enjoyed in  a rapturous manner by the blemishless BhAgavathas
of the Lord (Anagaa:AasvAdhayanthy ) . Swamy  Desikan salutes this nectar 
that appeared at the side of the Oushadha Giri in Thiruvaheendhrapuram
( Oushadha maheedhara pArSvE udhitham) and compares Him to the tap
root for all the three worlds ( Thribhuvana yEkamoolam ) . Swamy Desikan
goes on next to salute the Lord Achyuthan's s SubhASrayathvam . His divine 
auspicious form ( Dhivya MangaLa vigraham) has Subhathvam (MangaLam) 
as well as Aasrayathvam( qualities as the refuge for those seeking
His protection ) .

In the context of SubhAsrayathvam of the Lord's ThirumEni , D.R.Swamy quotes
the following slOkam that points out the destruction of all the sins for those ,
who have the bhAgyam of seeing the PurushOtthaman's ThirumEni from
His lotus peetam to the crown :

AapeetAn MouLi paryantham pasyatha: PurushOtthamam
PadhakAnyAsu naSyanthi kim punasthu  upapAdhakAn 

Achyuthan is saluted further as the samsAric disease-curing effective
herb , which also has the further trait of being delectable to enjoy like
sweet tasting nectar (Amrutha svAdhu rasam ) , while serving as 
the curative herb for  the samsAric diseases of His daasAs ( Daasa-
rujAm oushadhi) .

SlOkam 45 (The Lord's ThirumEni revealing His Svaroopam)
*****************************************************************************
siddhAnjanamiva SyAmam Tava tanum
nija vilOchanEshu kshipantha:
Achyutha Lakshmee-nivAsam 
nithya nigUDam nidhimiva pasyanthi ThvAm

( Meaning according to D.R.Swamy ) : Achyutha ! Those who apply 
(take in and gaze with love and devotion )  Thy ShyAma ThirumEni 
to their eyes  like anjanam (collyrium) prepared by the siddhAs ,
are able to percieve Thee , who art the residing place for Lakshmi ,
as an ever-hidden treasure (concelaed )when wealth is in abundance .

(Comments) : In the previous slOkam , the power of the sEvai of the Lord's 
ThirumEni was covered . Here , Swamy Desikan compares the Lord's 
dark bluish-black body to the anjanam (collyrium ) used by the SiddhAs 
to reveal hidden things . Here the reference is to the Lord's ThirumEni
revealing the Svaroopam ( inherent nature) , guNAs ( attributes) and
VibhUthi ( wealth/ Lakshmi-NaarAyaNathvam ) . The above factors that 
one was not aware of before becomes patently visible now after 
the darsana soubhAgyam of the Lord's ThirumEni .

The key words of this slOkam are : " SyAmam  Lakshmi nivAsam Tava Tanum 
(pasyantha:) , nithya nigooDam ThvAm , nidhim iva pasyanthi ". When your 
dhivya ThirumEni is adorned by the blemishless BhAgavathAs
in their eyes (SiddhAnjanamiva nija vilOchanEshu kshpantha: ) , then 
they see Your svaroopam , attributes and wealth clearly like a treaure 
in front of them .
