SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest all, [Today is Thirumangai azhwAr Thirunakshathram. Beginning of anadhyayanam. Hence, we will resume this series after Thai hastham- Kooresar Thirunakshathram]. 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. sinthanaiyaith thavanNeRiyaith thirumaalai, piriyaathu vanthenathu manaththiruntha vadamalaiyai, varivaNdaar konthaNaintha pozhilkOva lulakaLappaa NnadinNimirththa anthaNanai, yaan_kaNda thaNinNeerththen NnarangaththE (5.6.7) 7. He -the One who is the Vishayam (Object) of my thoughts always; who directs me to have such an intense desire for Him; who is the Consort of PiraaTTi, who blesses me with the fruit of thinking of Him; who is standing permanently at ThiruvEmkatam and then now in my heart; who lengthened His Feet to measure the whole world- Trivkraman of ThirukkOvailoor;- My Swami- I have seen Him at Srirangam. Trivikrama is very beautifully described by Swamy Desikan in his dehaleesa sthuthi. [dehaleesa perumAL is the Lord of ThirukkOviloor] Swami Desikan was inspired by the special symbolism indicated by Trivikraman ( UlagaLandhAn ) at this divya desam and celebrated it by giving us his blessed work known as Sri Saccharithra RakshA. More about this work later. Sri DehaLeesa Sthuthi is a beautiful eulogy of Trivikraman and salutes the special experience of the three "Mudal AzhwArs" at this divya desam. It has 28 slokAs set in the Vasantha tilakA and Maalini metres . The first 26 slOkams of this sthOthram are in Vasantha TilakA metre and the last two are set in the Maalini metre. DehaLi means a threshhold . DehaLeesa means the Lord of DehaLi or the Lord of Threshhold. DeahaLi in Tamil means the the narrow portion of the house that connects the front door to the inner chambers of the house. The names of DehaLi in Tamil are " rEzhi, idaikkazhi and Nadai" . The leelAs of the Lord of ThirukkOvalUr in the DehaLi of Mrugandu Maharishi's house resulted in us being blessed with with the "advent " of the three thiruvanthAdhis associated withtb he three mudal azhwArs.
