Dear BhakthAs :

As the debate on the excellence of the different 
ArchA mUrthys continues , I thought I will intersperse 
the divya naamAs from Swami Desikan's Sri Sookthis 
(primarily ) and compose a few songs and gadhyams 
to offer my salutations . To those , who are knowledgable 
in Sanskrit , please excuse any errors that creep in 
during the samarpaNam of these naama kusumaanjalis .

These songs are part of the series on 
Sri lakshmi Narasimhan , Sri Oppiliappan and 
Sri HayagrIvan posted earlier . 

The following krithi could be sung in Revagupthi
or BhouLai Raagam and salutes the SIX EmperumAns of 
ThirumAlirum Solai ( Sundararaajan) ,Thiruvantha-
puram ( Sri PadmanAbhan ), Vada Mathurai ( Govardhana
GirIsan ) , ThirucchitthirakUtam ( GovindarAjan ),
