SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

Let us continue to enjoy Pey AzhwAr anubhavam on
ThiruvEnkatam. Next verse is the 32nd of MoonRaam
ThiruvanthAthi:

paaRkadalum vEngadamum paampum panivisumbum,
nooRkadalum nuNNula thaamaraimEl, - paaRpat
tirunthaar manamum idamaakak koNdaan,
kurunthosittha gOpaa lakan.                  32

AzhwAr says: Thus, the places where the Lord chooses
to stay in Divya Desams has got no limits at all. That
is His dayA. 

GopAlan- go pAlakan- The One who protects the cows
(the jeevathmas)- went crawling through the Kurundha
trees [along with the mortar- when he was toed down to
it by YasodhA] and broke the trees; - That Gopala
resides in The Milky ocean; ThiruvEnkatam; The
Paramapadham that is the coolest place- the refuge-
for those who are burning in the scorching heat of
samsaaram. 

Also He resides in the huge vast ocean like vedanthas
and saasthrAs; and also in the hearts of the Rishis or
Sages who always in their loyus hearts, meditate on
His Lotus Feet [knowing fully well and understanding
the unparalleled Supremacy of His Lordship from the
ocean like Vedanthas and saasthrAs] 
He resides in their hearts mercifully forever.

Padma kOsa pratheekasagum hrudhayam? The lotus like
heart. The heart is like an inverted lotus flower-
Acharyas have said.

Sri Krishna Himself says: 

thEshAm jnAni nithyayuktha yEka bhakthir viSishyathE |
priyO hi jnAninO(S)thyarTham aham sa cha mama priya:
|| GitA 6.17

Among the four types, the wise men, the fourth type,
jnAni is the best, because he is always attached to Me
and is single minded in his devotion to Me. The jnAni
mediates on Me while in this world; and then attains
Me. The four types of men are (as mentioned in earlier
verse of GitA 16th verse 7th chapter) aartthi,
arthaarthi, jignAsu and jnAni. First is the one who
wishes to get rid of their sorrows; They wish to
regain their lost wealth; Second type are those who
wish to acquire new wealth; Thirdly, those who want to
realize the real, pure nature of their soul or
jeevathma?s glories. This state is Kaivalyam. Fourth
is the type of jnAnis. Those who know Me and My
greatness; desire to attain Me alone as the Highest
Object of attainment.

The jnAni is devoted only to Me; He is desirous of Me,
I am the only Means and the Goal for jnAnis. He is the
best of men. I am extremely dear to such a man. Even
I, who am omniscient, omnipotent, can not express how
much I am dear to such a wise man- jnAni. In the same
way, he is also extremely dear to Me- says Krishna.   
     

Chathurmukha ShaNmukha Pancha mukha ? Four faced
Brahma, Murugan, Rudran et al come to ThiruvEnkatam
and place their heads at His Lotus Feet. They wished
to adorn their heads with the most precious gem stone
for their heads; they found that the most valuable and
precious One is the Lotus Feet of Srinivasan.

akila deivatha mouLi maNi- He is the gem stone for
every demi god?s for their heads. 

Saranagatha vathsala saara nidhE- He shows His
vaathslayam for Saranagathars- Those who have
surrendered. Like the cow showing towards its calf;
Paripaalayamaam vrushasailapathE:- Oh
ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan! Save me; Remove the anishtam
[hurdles] from me and grant me that we desire for;
     
He is the God of all Devas; All Nithyasuris, demi gods
come to ThiruvEnkatam to pay their obeisance. 

Swamy EmperumAnAr Says: anaalOchitha asEsha visEsha
lOka SaraNyan; He is the SaraNyan for ALL- without any
partiality or bias; He is the One merciful towards
everyone. 

Here in this verse AzhwAr enlists all five forms of
Lord being referred to- namely, Param, vyooham,
vibhavam, Haardha and archA. 

Param- pani visumbhu- Paramapadham
Vyooham- PaarKadal- Milky ocean
archA- ThiruvEnkatam; 
Haardham- Heart ? antharyaami roopam
Vibhavam- Gopalakan.
