SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy AzhwArs wonderful verses on
ThiruvEnkatam. Today?s ThiruvEnkatam verse is:
NammAzhwAr?s Thiruvaaymozhi 6.10.11

`adikkee zhamarndhu pugundhadiyeer!
  vaazhmin' enRen RaruLkotukkum
padikkE zhillaap perumaanaip
  pazhanak kurukoorch chadagOpan,
mudippaan sonna aayiraththuth
  thiruvENG kadaththuk kivaipaththum,
pidiththaar pidiththaar veeRRirundhu
  periya vaanuL nilaavuvarE.    6.10.11

ThiruvEnkadamudaiyaan shows His Feet to His BhakthAs
by pointing His right Hand down and asks them to
surrender at His Feet for their redemption. About that
peerless, unparallelled Supreme Lord, Srinivasa, and
in praise of Him, Sri SadagOpa has sung 1000 pAsurams.
Out of those 1000, these ten are on ThiruvEnkadam.
Those who read these ten are DEFINITE TO STAY AT THE
ETERNAL [EVER PERMANENT] PARAMAPADHAM. Nacha
punaraavartthathE.. nacha punaraavartthathE..

DramidOpanishad Thaatparya RathnAvaLi of Swamy Desikan
mentions that: [about this decad]: 

(1) Vekataadri being the saviour of Akinchanyars
[helpless ones] is SarvalOka SaraNyan; as He (a)
protects everything by retention of the world and
beings in His stomach during Dissolution
[mahApraLayam]; (b) has Sudharsana ChakrA which is
deterrent to enemies (c) He is of the nature ? full of
mercy unbiased like rain  bearing clouds; (d) He
enjoys constant never ever separated ?nithya yoga? of
PiraaTTi MahAlakshmi [nithya anapaayinee] (e) He
overpowered the bulls and gained asrithars? confidence
in Him; (f) He is standing gracefully at Venkataadhri
enabling even Nithyasuris to worship Him therein; (g)
He is at Thirumalai for everyone [irrespective of
caste creed, sex and race] without distinction to take
refuge in His lotus feet; (h) He is amenable to His
devotees and Saranagathars and unavailable to others;
(i) He is in samslEsha with Sri Mahalskhmi who Herself
is the refuge for all;(j) He is full of innumerable
most auspicious kalyANa guNAs like Sowlabhyam
sowlseelya, Vathsalya etc.. 

Thus In Taatparya RathnAvaLi, Swami Desikan captures
in his inimitable style the essence of these 10
paasurams dealing with SaraNAgathi at the sacred feet
of the Lord of the seven hills. He concludes that
Azhwar assessed that Sri VenkatEsan is the most
appropriate one to receive his saraNAgathi and then
performed it.

The last two lines of this summary of Swami Desikan 
is as follows :

prApyA prApyathva yogAth svajana vijanayO: sath
prapatthavya bhaavAth
uchE naatham SaraNyam sruthisatha vidhitham VenkatEsam
SatAri:

The last line describes NammAzhwAr performing
SaraNAgathi to his Lord VenakatEsan , who is
understood well by the VedAs. The first line refers to
his being near to His BhakthAs and AsrithAs ( svajana
prApyathvAth ) and being far away from bhaktha
dhvEshis ( vijana aprApyathvAth ). References here are
to the Paasura vAkyams: vandhAy pOl vArAyi and
vandhAyi polE vArAthAi " 

Finally, Swami Desikan connects " AhalahillEn " part
of the paasuram with "Sath prapatthavya bhAvAth ".  He
salutes the Vaatsalya , SwAmithva , Souseelya ,
SoulabhyAdhi guNams of Periya Piratti that are shared
by Her Lord equally and Her purushaakAram ( merciful
intercession quality/sipArsu to Her Lord ) and
performs the SaraNAgathi to the Sruthi satha vidhitha
VenkatEsan , who is prapadhana sulabhan (easy of
access for Prapatthi )
