SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

Let us continue to enjoy Pey AzhwAr anubhavam on
ThiruvEnkatam. Next verse is 30h of MoonRaam
ThiruvanthAthi:

sErntha thirumaal kadal kudanthai vEngadam
nErntha en sinthai niRai visumpu, - vaayntha
maRai paadakam_ananthan vaNduzaayk kaNNi,
iRaipaadi yaaya ivai.            30

AzhwAr again enjoys the way Lord chooses to reside in
his heart in this verse as well. AzhwAr enlists the
glorious places in which the Lord on his own accord
stays; and also adds that they are all his capital
cities (or important places- raajadhaani). 

The Lord who had joined or reached the Ocean (kadal
sErndha Thirumaal)
Kudanthai, Venkatam, - Thirupathi and Thirukkudanthai
(KumbakONam ArAamudhan]
nErndha en chinthai- my mind that has been blessed and
has been a good one; [The fortunate mind can also be
inferred]
niRai visumbhu- The faultless blesmishless the
grandest, huge Nithya vibHuthi- Sri vaikuNtam
vaayndha maRai- The Vedas and Upanishads which have
been [meant- vaayndha] only to sing His glories;
paadakam- Thiruppadakam Divya Desam- where The Lord
resides most beautifully
Ananthan- Again AdhisEshan [as in earlier verse- 26th]

vaNthuzhaaykaNNi- The most fragrant thuLasai garlanded
[Lord] 
[OR the thUlasi creeper also is the place where He
resides ? can also be inferred here]
iRaipaadi aaya ivai- These places are His iRaipaadi-
CAPITAL cities or Raajadhaanis. 

AzhwAr very beautifully enlists all His favorite
places of residence including his [AzhwAr?s] wonderful
blessed heart] 

Kadal sErndha Thirumaal- Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan
churned the milky ocean [when He had held the
mantharai moutian on His top as Koorma avathAram]; and
He supported the Devas by lending His thousand hands
to churn the ocean [along with asurAs]- to get amudham
(nectar)

Allk He had done not just for getting the nectar for
Devas; But also to get His amudham ? i.e. Sri
Mahalakshmi who appeared from the Ocean in this
churning. She came out with a garland; went straight
to Sriman Narayana in front of 33 crores of Devas and
jumped and sat in His Divine Chest [ahalagillEn iRaium
enRu alarmEl mangai uRai maarbhan]. 

Nanjeeyar asks Parasara Bhattar ?How does a lady [like
Mahalakshmi] without ant feminine shyness go, sit in
the divine chest of Narayana in front of so many
Devas? 
Parasara Bhattar responds: He is the Only Purushan;
PurushOtthaman and why should she feel shy in front of
other women? And only when women are there [all
jeevathmas are like sthrees while He is the Purushan];
Also why should a mother feel shy in front of her
children to sit near the Father? 

Thus Lord chooses to stay with His in-law?s place so
joyously [like we all do- to enjoy staying in our in
law?s residence] i.e. Milky ocean on AdhisEshan.
Similar to Rangamannar who chooses to stay in
PeriyAzhwAr?s residence in Srivilliputthur.

Kudanthai- Kumba kONam- This is the Lord who
mercifully blessed us with naalaayoira Dhivya
Prabandham through Sriman Nathamuni; 
This is the Lord who had blessed Thirumazhisai AzhwAr
or who listened to Thirumazhisai AzhwAr. 
This is the only Divya Desam which has been sung by
Thirumangai AzhwAr in all his six works. 
This is the only Divya Desam mentioned by NammAzhwAr
and Thirumangai AzhwAr in their last divya desam
patthu on ThiruppEr [Both have sung ThiruppEr ten as
their past divya desam and both have referred to
Kudanthai in those respective ten- says Sri Velukkudi
Krishnan Swami in his upanyasam]

Venkatam- ThiruvEnkatam Divya Desam has got
unparalleled greatness in it for the Lord to enjoy
residing here to crush and destroy all our paapams ?
for each one of us. 

nErtndha en chinthai- My mind which had been loitering
at all sides and in all other material, worldly
pleasures; which been going astray; is not blessed and
is thinking of Him at all times; It is His grace that
my mind has been so blessed ? THUS nErndha- and thus
my blessed mind has become His favorite place of
residence. 
         
niRai visumbhu-SRivaikuNatm ? the faultless and
Blemishless SrivaikuNtam- where the imperfections or
faults in leelA vibhUthi is not there; This
theLivisumbu Thirunaadu;
leelA vibHuthi is iruL tharumaa jnAlam. 

Nithya vibhUthi is the land of no return. Swami
Desikan says in DraamidOpanishad Thaathoparya
RathnAvAli: The Lord Himself accompanies those who
have performed Sranagathi at His Feet to his place of
residence SrivaiuNtam and never to come back at all
[nacha punaraavartthathE]; He accompanies them ? His
Asrithars in the archiraadhi maargam and give place in
his lOka [Sri vaikUnram ? Nithya vibHuthi- niRai
visumbhu]; He does all this as He is
(1) Sarva Swami; (2) He is the controller of all; (3)
He measured the worlds as Thirvikraman; (4) He is the
Sriya: Pathi; (5); He holds Sudharsana Chakra in his
resplendent Hand [6] He reclines in the cool ksheera
saagara (milky ocean) (7) He took brith as cowherd Boy
to be easily accessible for all; (8) He is the
controller of Paramapadham and Nithya suris.

Vaaymdha maRai- Vedas and SaasthrAs- are the ones that
praise and talk His glories and hence He chooses to
reside therein. 
Sage Vyaasa says: 

Sathyam sathyam punah sathyam uddhrtya bhujamuchyathE
|
Vedaath saasthram param naasthi na deivam kesavaath
param ||

Raising up my arm, I declare on oath that there is
SCRIPTURE text greater than Vedas and no God superior
to Lord Kesava. This TRUTH TRUTH and TRUTH. 

Aalodya sarva saasthraani vichaarya cha puna: puna: |
Idham yEkam sunishpannam dhyEyO naaraayanO hari: ||

After a deep study of all the saasthrAs and repeated
investigations into their purport, we come to this
CONCLUSION that the Lord to be meditated upon is HARI:
[Sriman Narayanan]

Who says: Sage Vyasa who has compiled all Vedas into
four; who has written Mahabharatha who has written 18
puranas; who has written the greatest Brahma sutra. Do
we need any other authoritative statement? 

These are His most favorite place of residence and His
raja dhaani- says AzhwAr.
