Dearest Srivaishnavas, 

After the divine BhootthAzhwAr?s anubhavams, let us
begin to enjoy PEyAzhwAr?s- wonderful anubhavams on
ThiruvEnkatam. 

maaRpaal manamsuzippa mangaiyar_thOL kaivittu,
nooRpaal manamvaikka noyvithaam, naaRpaala
vEthatthaan vEngadatthaan viNNOr mudithOyum,
paathatthaan paatham paNinthu.                        
 14

The Lord of ThiruvEnkatam- the Sowseelyan- one who
resides there on his own for our sake; the One who is
described, mentioned by and is the essence of all four
Vedas; The Feet of this greatest Lord- where the
crowns of Nithyasuris are placed with respect [when
they prostrate at His Feet]. 

My mind that gets involved, immersed and gets
attracted to the beauty of these two Lotus Feet of
Lord ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan due to which the mind is
now easily staying away from the desire to hug the
shoulders of beautiful women and get more liking to
learn and adhere to Vedanthic saasthrAs thereby get
closer to the Lord?s Lotus Feet. 

A wonderful verse from pEyAzhwAr. 

PeyAzhwAr is the third of the Mudhal AzhwArs. He was
born in Mylapore (Maada Maamayilai) inside a red lotus
flower blooming in the well at AdhikEsava PerumAL Koil
as the amsam of the Lord's Sword (Nandhakam).

This AzhwAr was PerumAL-obsessed (pitthan )and hence
was called pEy AzhwAr. Just like PeriyAzhwAr, he was
able to have the direct sevai of PerumAL effortlessly
through his Parama Bhakthi. He performed
mangaLAsAsanam for PerumAL, ThAyAr and PerumAL's
weapons at ThirukkOvalUr just as PeriyAzhwAr did at
Then Mathurai. pEy AzhwAr is considered as an AchAryan
for Thirumazhisai AzhwAr in our sampradhAyam.

we have to remember three gems of spiritual experience
of God in pEy AzhwAr's prabhandham : 
(1) The Supreme Lord is Sriman NaarAyaNan 
possessing Sri Devi in His divine heart
(2) He is the most beautiful and satisfying Being and
(3) He is the most tender healer of of all sorrows and
abolisher of sins and fear of samsAram as well as
granter of Moksham .

In the very first verse of AzhwAr moonRaam
ThiruvanthAthi- pEyAzhwAr describes with exultation
the great joy of the seeing the Lord with Sri Devi and
His dhivya aayudhams (weapons):

thirukkaNdEn ponmEni kaNdEn, thikazum
arukkan aNin^iRamum kaNdEn, - serukkiLarum
ponnaazi kaNdEn puri sangam kaikkaNdEn,
ennaazi vaNNanpaal inRu.               1

Today is a great day .I secured the privilege of
seeing the Lord's Form (ThirumEni), by His grace. I
saw MahA Lakshmi; I saw Her on a pure gold body of the
Lord;His effulgence was like that of the Sun;I saw the
enemy-destroying, fiery, but beautiful chakram (in one
hand);I saw also the bent Conch (Paanchajanyam) in the
other hand. All of these I saw in my dear Ocean-hued
Lord, Sriman NaarAyanan (from SrI Satakopan Swami?s
write up)
