SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy AzhwArs wonderful verses on
Thiruvenkatamudiayaan. 

BhakthAmrutham viswa janAnumodhanam 
sarvArthatham Sri Satakopa Vaangmayam 
sahasra SaakOpanishadh samAgamam
namAmyaham Draavida Vedha Saagaram 

Meaning ): adiyEn salutes the ocean of Tamizh Vedam ,
which is of the form of Sri SaThakOpan's vaak
(speech/aruLiccheyalkaL). These are linked to the
thousand upanishads and includes in them all the deep
meanings (Taathparyams)of Tatthva-Hitha-PurushArthams
and artha Panchakam. They are nectar to the minds of
the devotees of Sriman NaarAyaNan and they enjoy it
with relish as aparyAthAmrutham [insatiable amirtham].

Today?s ThiruvEnkatam verse is: NammAzhwAr?s
Thiruvaaymozhi 3.3.3 

aNNal maayan aNikoLsenN thaamaraik
kaNNan, sengani vaaykkaru maaNikkam,
theNNi Raiccunai neertthiru vEngadatthu,
eNNil tholpugaz vaanava reesanE.        3.3.3

TirumalA, which contains ponds with crystal clear
water, is the place of ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan, who has
the unbounded glories and attributes; He is the Chief
of NitysUris; The Mayyan- My Lord's eyes are like Red
Lotus flowers which are most beautiful; He, who has
the Most Beautiful Red Coral lips, has got the form
like a Big Black Emerald (karumANickkam);

In 3.3.3 (ANNal Mayan--) : Here Azhwaar salutes the
literally countless auspicious attributes of the Lord
and hints that it is His daya and Sowlabhyam that
stand out and make Him accessible to us readily.

In the last verse.. AzhwAr addressed Lord as the
father of all his forefathers? when he addresses
himself as the dasa of dasa of dAsa of dasa of dAsa of
the Lord sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan. My Swami?s
Swami?s Swami?s Adhibhoothan.. We need to serve Him at
all times. Come on in? he addresses [us]. 

You are asking and wishing. Will you get? When asked,
azhwAr says: He grants Nithyasuriss the kaimkarya
ruchi and praapti; will He not give us? ? AzhwAr
responds. Our aNNal [Chief] is Sarva Swami; He is
Thirumalai Srinivasan; He is maayan- Mysterious most
wonderful Lord; aascharya bhoothan; He is the Chief of
all; yet He is so easily accessible with His
sowlabhya, sowseelya guNas; hence He is Ascharya
bhoothan; He is the most beautiful red lotus eyed Lord
[senthaamaraik kaNNan]. For such most beautiful large,
well laid out dark well spread red lotus eyed Lord,
there is not a need for any other ornament. Those
lovely eyes have coolness, fragrance, bloom, and
beauty and hence are equated to red lotus flowers.
Thus the red lotus like eyes; the red bimbha fruit and
red coral like curvy lips and red mouth.. [jyOthi
vaay]. Dark blue hued gem stone like divine beauty
[karu maaNickam]; [where is He? ] where the crystal
clear water stream flows ? Tirmalai. The mountain ?
cool fragrant one that relaxes the devotees from their
exertion and strains [sramaharamaana Thirumalai]. 

eNNil tholpugazh- when thinking of His most auspicious
attributes [kalyANa guNAs], there is no limit; He
possesses innumerable infinite kalyANa guNAs. Anantha
kalyANa guNagaNouka mahaarNavan; ocean of infinite
kalyANa guNAs. 

His Holiness Thirukkudanthai Andavan adds: yathA
rathnAni jalathE asankhyEyaani puthraka. He is the
Lord of Nithyasuris. He is the Chief of both worlds.
