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. AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE saraNam Regards Namo narayana dAsan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
