Dear BhakthAs : Today , we will study the last three paasurams of Mey Viratha Maanmiyam , where Swamy Desikan acknowledges the abundant grace of Lord VaradarAjan , who empowered him to compose this SrI Sookthi of Mey Viratha Maanmiyam about Him. 234. The Lord's grace as the cause of creation of this Prabhandham **************************************************** PuNDareekam uyirttha PurANanAr poyy il maa maka utthara vEdhiyil koNDal aar aruL maari pozhinthidak- koNDathu Ohr uyar koormathi anbinAl paNDai naanmaRai mouLi padintha yaan paaril Meyvirathak-kavi paadinEn ThoNDai maNdala vEdhiyar vaazhavE Thooya tenn maRai vallavar vaazhave Swamy Desikan is approaching now the end of Mey Viratha Maanmiyam. With a reluctant heart , he bids farewell to the Prabhandham and acknowledges that it was the grace of the Lord of Hasthigiri that made it possible for him to compose this pranhandham . With the three concluding paasurams , Swamy Desikan offers his salutations to the Mey Viratha KshEthra Naathan and the BHaagyasaalis blessed to live at this sthalam . Meaning of the first of the Triad of Benedictory paasurams : ********************************************* adiyEn , who is deeply linked to the ancient Vedams sang this prabhandham with the power of sharp intellect and deep devotion granted as boons by the Lord of Sathya Vratha KshEthram . He arose from the Utthara vEdhi of the blemish-free AswamEdha yaagam performed by Brahma Devan and drenched all participants with the nourishing nectar-like rain of His dayA . May the VaidhikAs and BhAgavathAs as well as the true devotees of AzhwAr's dhivya prabhandhams residing in ThoNDai MaNDalam with sambhandham to Lord VaradarAjan recite this prabhandham on the Lord's avathAram and vaibhavam and live long on this earth distinguished by their Kaimkarya SrI ! Here Swamy Desikan identifies himself as " PaNdai Naann MaRai MouLi padintha yaann " ( The one , who is deeply rooted in the ancient VedAs and the Siras of the Vedams , Upnishads /VedAntham).He identifies BrahmA as " PuNDareekam uyirttha PurANanAr " ( the ancient Brahma Devan who was created by the Lord from His Naabhi kamalam).The Lord , who arose from the Yaaga Kuntam of the AswamEdha Yaj~nam is recognized as " Poy il Maa maha Uthara vEdhi" ( the vedhi of the Yaj~nam , which was conducted with deep devotion and free from any deciet). The Lord is saluted as the sweet , dark rainy cloud showerign every one with His mercy ( KoNDal aar aruL maari ). The effect of that rain showers on Swamy Desikan is described by him as deep devotion to the Lord and a sharp intellect to comprehend His tatthvams. Swamy Desikan says that He sang this Prabhandham on the Mey Viratha KshEthram ( Mey Viratha kavi pADinEn). He concludes this paasuram with benedictions to the ThoNDai MaNDala vaasikaL ( ThoNDai MaNDala Vediyar Vaazhi , Thooya Tenn MaRai vallavar Vaazhi). Swamy Desikan's salutations are thus to Ubhaya VEdAntha Paramparai blessed to claim Lord VaradarAjan's ThoNDai Mandalam as their home. 235. Creation of this ithihAsam to shine s VedAnthaachAryan *********************************************** uyy viratham onRu inRi adainthAr uyya oru viratham Thaann koNDa uyarntha Maalai sey viratham onRAlum teLiyahillAc- chinthayinAl disai padaittha disai muhan thaan poy viratha nilamellAm pOyE meeNDu puhal ithuvE puNNiyatthukku yenRu sErntha Meyviratha nannilatthu mEnmai yEtthi VedAntha Aasiriyan viLanginanE The meaning of the second Paasuram of the Benedcitory Triad ************************************************ The Lord of Kaanchi with the sole vratham of SaraNAgatha RakshaNam blessed Brahma Devan , who wandered all over the world fruitlessly for witnessing and enjoying the Lord with his own physical eyes . Lord of Mey Viratha KshEthram blessed Brahma Devan to have His darsana soubhAgyam and made Brahma ecstatic over that rare bhAgyam . Brahma got the boon he sought from the Lord of Sathya Vratha KshEthram through the performance of the AswamEdha Yaagam . adiyEn sang about the glory of the Lord's avathAram and Vaibhavam and became VedAnthAchAryan. In this Paasuram , Swamy Desikan salutes this kshEthram of the Lord as " Mey viratha Nannilam " ( The auspicious kshEthram , where the observed vrathams yield the desired phalans without fail). Swamy identifies this sthalam as the safe and sure source place for the acquisition of PuNyam ( " PuNNiyaithaRkku puhal ") due to the residence of Lord VaradarAjan , whose sole vow is to come to the rescue of those , who seek His protection (SaraNAgatha Vrathee) . Sage VyAsa (VyAsa BhagavAn) compiled and organized the Sanaskritic VedAs and acquired the title of VedAchAryan. Our Sawmy Desikan composed the Tamil prabhandham of Mey Viratha Maanmiyam and became entitled to the birudhu of VedAnthAchAryan. 236.
