Dear BhakthAs of SundarabAhu  PerumAL of ThirumAlirum ChOlai :
 
We will study the SlOkams 20-21 of SundarabAhu Sthavam today .
 
SlOkam 20
***************
vandEya Sundarabhujam bhujagEndhra bhOga-
   saktammahAvanagiri praNaya praveeNam
yamm tamm vidhu: dharam ashDaguNOpajushDam
   aakAsam oupanishadheeshu Sarasvatheeshu
 
This slOkam summarizes the Dahara Vidhyai of ChAndhOgya Upanishad .
The essence of this Vidhya is : " This body is a fit place for the residence of
Brahman and hence it is appropriately recognized as Brahmapuram . In this
sareeram , ParamAthmA resides always in a small place ( daharAkAsam) inside
the heart lotus (Hrudhaya Kamalam) . He has limitless auspicious attributes .
One has to comprehend these anantha kalyANa guNams of the Lord and
meditate on Him " . The supreme JyOthi of the Lord and His anantha
kalyANa guNams are not affected even by one iota inspite of  His residence
in that small place inside the heart lotus . Out of His great vaathsalyam for
the Jeevan , He resides there and comes to the rescue of the Jeevan .
Sri BhAshyam's AakAsAdhikaraNam focuses on this Dahara Vidhya .
 
Extended Meaning of the 20th SlOkam
****************************************************
The Yogis clearly visualize the Lord occupying a small space inside 
their hrudhaya aakAsam as described by the ChAndhOgya Upanishad
in the Dahara vidhya section . His sarvEswarathvam is indicated by
Him having the eight guNams ( ashta guNa upajushtam) . These 8 guNams
start with apahatha pApmathvam ( Freedom from Sins ) and go on to vijaraa
( devoid old age) , Vimruthyu: ( eternal) , VisOka: ( without sorrow) ,Vijigathsa:
( no need for food  ) , apipAsa: ( no need for quenching thirst) , Sathya kaamathvam
( possessing true auspicious attributes) and Sathya Sankalpathvam ( ability to complete
what He wishes to do at the place and time of His wish ) .     
 
That same Lord who is fond of reclining on AadhisEshan (inside the DaharAkAsam )
is residing now at ThirumAliruchOlai hills as the leader among those , who claim this
dhivya dEsam as their place of residence ( Tamm BhujagEndhra saktham  MahA Vana giri
praNaya praveeNam Sundarabhujam vandhEya) . May adiyEn be blessed to have
the darsana soubhAgyam of this Azhagar ( Sundara Baahu) ! It has been pointed out that
the slOkam is about MaalalankArar , one of the Pancha Moorthys inside the Garbha graham ,
who is in Bhujanga Sayanam pose(Sayanak-kOlam)  .
 
SlOkam 21
**************
yath svaayattha-svaroopa-sTithi kruthika nijEcchA niyAmya svasEshA
   nandhAsEsha  prapancha : tatha  iha chidhiva-achidhvapurvAchi sabdhai:
visvai: sabdhai: pravAchyO hatha-vrujinatayA nithyamEvAnavadhya:
    Tamm vandhE Sundaraahvam Vanagiri nilayam PuNDareekAyathAksham
 
This slOkam is a terse one summarizing the siddhAntha TatthvArTams contained in
AchArya RaamAnujA's gadhyam pasage : " SvAdheena-thrividha-chEtanAchEtana
svaroopa-sTithi-pravrutthi bhEdham " and  the contents of Sri BhAshyam's 
navilakshaNathva adhikaraNam , VaiswAnara adhikaraNam and athra adhikaraNam .
Each of the references in this slOkam carries the essence of VisishtAdhvaitha
VedAntham ; the object behind these  sruthi passages is recognized by KurEsar as
Sri Sundara Baahu (Brahman) standing as the Supreme JyOthi at ThirumAlirumchOlai .
KurEsar is thrilled over the bhAgyam  of worshipping this quintessence of
VedAntham named Azhagar with matchless lotus eyes at the dhivya dEsam of
Vanagiri ( ThirumAlirumchOlai) .
 
Extended Meaning of SlOkam 21
******************************************
The Lord at Vana Giri dhivya dEsam has the ashta guNams referred to
in the previous slOkam . He is also free from any hEyam and is
nithya anavadhyan ( eternally blemishes) . He has eyes that are beautiful
and soft like the red lotus ( PuNDareeka aayathAkshan) in His dhivya
MangaLa vigraham . His sacred name  as a dhivya MangaLa vigrahan
in archA form is Azhagar ( SundarAhvam) . His dhivyAthma svaroopam 
is the One celebrated by the Sruthis  as free from any dhOshams and
possesssing ashta GuNams . His Svaroopam is such that the entire world of
chEtanams and achEtanams are under His control and are His vibhUthi (Iswaryam) .
Their existence and activities are totally under His control .These are markers
(lakshaNams) for His dhivyAthma Svaroopam as well as elaborated under the different
adhikaraNmas of Sri BhAshyam . All the chEtanams and achEtanams ultimately
points to Him according to the rules of aparyavasAna Vrutthi . The Sruthi vaakyams ,
" Sarvam khalvidham Brahma , VisvamEdham Purusha: , Purusha yEvadham Sarvam ,
JyOtheeshi VishNu: BhuvanAni VishNu: " underline the fact all these universes and
their entities are blessed by His auspicious glances and attain steadiness and stay
under His sole control and as such all of them are Him alone (Sarvam khalvidham Brahma) .
Such a Lord consistent with all these features in His dhivyAthma Svaroopam  as well
as His dhivya MangaLa vigraham shines as the Param JyOthi at ThirumAlirumchOlai
with the name of Azhagan (Sundaran) .
