SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwArs wonderful
verses on Thiruvenkatamudiayaan. 

kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram
yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama:
 
I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the
whole world, to destroy the darkness of ignorance
(a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the Kali
dhOsham. 

aNnRiya vaaNa Nnaayiram thOLum
 thuNiyavaNn RaazhiThot taanai,
miNnthigazh kudumi vEngada malaimEl
 mEviya vEthan^al viLakkai,
Then_thisaith thilatham aNnaiyavar naangaich
 ChemBoNnChey kOyili NnuLLE,
maNnRathu Poliya magizhnthun^iNn Raanai
 vaNangin^aan vaazhnthozhin^ thEnE       (4.3.8)

Emperumaan, who had cut the 1000 shoulders of VaaNan,
with His ChakrAyudham, who stands on the mountain of
Thirumala,
who is praised and is the essence of all Vedas, like
the lamp
shedding light everywhere, who stands firm and solid,
where His
devotees enjoy seeing His Divine Beauty and where He
continues
to stay at all times for them; - Such most glorious
SarvEshwaran,
I am blessed to have seen Him at this sthlam of
SemponseykOil
and been saved..

VaNaasuran incident is referred to by other AzhwArs as
well in their verses in many places. PeriyAzhwArs
mentions this in ThiruppallANdu verse 7

theeyiRpolikinRa sensudaraazhi?. 
maayap porupadai vaaNanai, aayirandhOLum pozhi kuruthi
paaya
suzhaRRiya aazhi vallaanukkup, paLLaaNdu kooRuthumE.

We and all our family members need to serve Thee and
hence, we have undergone SamasrayaNam (in which we
have been given ChakrA (that has been placed on fire
and is red luminous in color) on our shoulder to mark
ourselves as Srivaishnavas to serve You. [While
singing about the mark on shoulders, AzhwAr remembers
the shoulders that got cut by Him- When thousand
shouldered baaNAsuran (for obstructing the marriage of
Usha and Aniruddhan- KrishNA's grandson) fought with
KrishNA, with the support of even Rudran, SubramaNian
and Vinayaka, they were all conquered effortlessly by
KrishNA and were chased away..AzhwAr here infers that
if one does not undergo this ChakrA marking on his or
her shoulders, he is like that bAaNAsuran ]

Let us sing pallAdnu to Him who cut asunder the 1000
shoulders of BaaNAsuran with his resplendent shining
Divine ChakrA - the river of blood flowing from the
cut shoulders! (ChakrA on the shoulders for marking
Srivashnava and the eternal servitude to Him on one
side; ChakrA for the 1000 shoulders for the enemy too
for punishment)

AzhwAr syas here -aazhi vallAnukku- the One who can
effortlessly send this divine Great chakra and utilize
the same.

Thirumangai AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam

Namo Narayana
