SrI:

Dear BhakthAs:

We will be covering today the thrid slOkam of DS.

This great analytical composition of Swamy Desikan 
is in high flown Sanskrit and assumes a lot of familiarity 
with Sri VaishNavite doctrines. It takes a lot of effort
to understand even a fraction of the great AchAryan's
composition.The commentaries are in MaNIpravALam 
(Sanskritized Tamil ) styleand they are pretty terse too!
.Hence , it is not easy to summarize the high lights of 
either DS or its companion Sri Sookthi, DhramidOpanishad 
Taatparya RathnAvaLi.

In this context , I seek the indulgence of those , 
who may not be familiar with Sanskrit or Tamil to read
these postings.I will try to explain to the best of my ability 
the subtle and unusual use of words and terms that have 
special meanings in Sri Vaishnava conversational parlance. 
Inspite of these efforts on my part ,the text may be hard 
to read for some of You. Please do not worry about it now. 
If it is too complicated ,Please use your delete button. 

A good understanding of Swamy NammAzhwAr ThiruvAimozhi 
is a must for any one intersted in Sri VaishNavaite views.
That is why I am focusing on this composition containing 
26 slOkams summarizing 1,000 plus paasurams .

Thanks for your understanding ,
V.Sadagopan , New York.
