Sri :
Dear BhakthAs :
After enjoying the AchArya and Bhagavath-bhakthi laden ,
moving paasurams of PeriyAzhwAr on Soumya NaarAyaNan ,
we hear the foot steps of the peripatetic Thirumangai Mannan
in the garbha Graham . A veritable flood of Bhagavath anubhava
preethi soaked paasurams immersed the Lord . Thirumangai dedicated
13 paasurams through his dhivya Vaak along the path laid out by
PeriyAzhwAr , BhUthatthAzhwAr , Pey and Thirumazhisai AzhwArs .
Let us enjoy first the paasurams of the of BHUtham , Pey and
Thirumazhisai AzhwArs , who performed the MangaLAsAsanam of
the EmperumAn of ThirukkOttiyUr with one paasuram each .

(Meaning) : Oh my dear Mind ! I performed upadEsam for
you to engage in the pracise of meditation on the sacred
feet of the Lord. Meanwhile , our most compassionate Lord
has started on His own initiative . This Lord , who is like
a flawless blue gem with His powerful and bounteous arms
has settled for our sake at Srirangam , ThirukkOttiyUr ,
ThiruvEnkatam , ThirumAlirumchOlai and Thiruneermalai.
He has taken permanent residence to cultivate our
friendship and win us over .He has nithya Vaasam at these
dhivya dEsams for a long time to await our arrival . His
vaathsalyam for us propels Him to take His residence
as ArchA Moorthy at many dhivya dEsams like ThirukkOttiyUr
to await our arrival at any one of the places . How much more
generous can we expect HIm to be ? The incomparable
soulabhyam (ease of access to one and all ) and
the unlimited DayA of the Lord is saluted here .

(Meaning) : Sriman NaarAyaNan relishes as His preferred
places of residence the folowign dhivya dEsams to demonstrate
His souseelyam and Soulabhyam and to confer on us His
paramAnugrahams : ThiruviNNagar , ThiruvehhA , ThiruvEnkatam ,
ThruvELukkai , Thirukkudanthai , Thiruvarangam and ThrukkOttiyUr.
The Lord who demonstrated His souseelyam through accepted
the gift (dhAnam) of the three feet of land from MahA Bali
by recieveing the symbolic water on His cupped hand .
He put aside HIs Supermacy as the Lord of the Universe
and begged for three feet of land with His dwarf form and
sealed the acceptance of the gift by lowering His palm
to rcieve the water poured there by MahA Bali.
This magnanimous Lord stays at dhivya dEsams like
ThirukkOttiyUr as sarva sulabhan( most easy to access)
to grant us all the boons that we seek as SaraNAgathAs .

(Meaning) : This Paasuram is one of the beautiful ones
by Thirumazhisai on ArchAvathAra Moorthys at
ThirukkOttiyUr and ThiruvenkadamudayAn .Here AzhwAr
walks a delicate diplomatic line and confesses : " Yes , I am
indeed firm of intent to eulogize Sri Soumya NaarAyaNan of
ThirukkOttiyUr . There should not be any doubt about that
heartfelt desire . Inspite of that driving interst , I have not
forgotten the Lord of ThiruvEnkatam even for a moment .
I meditate on Lord VenkatEsan's sacred feet for
the removal of all samsAric afflictions and to gain
ParipoorNa BrahmAnandham through nithya kaimakryam
at His Supreme Abode of Sri Vaikuntam . After all ,
the name of the Lord of the Seven hills is Thiru VenkatatthAn
(i-e) vEm kadayathi ithi Venkatam ( That which destroys all
pApams and causes thereafter bliss : vEnkAra: amrutha
bheejam syAth kadam iswaryam uchyathE ).
In the next posting , we will focus on the Paasurams of
Thirumangai AzhwAr on ThirukkOttiyUr Soumya NaarAyaNan.
