This Paasuram is also included as the 17th paasuram of Meyviratha Maanmiyam ( 224th Desika Prabhandha Paasuram) that we have already studied .

SrI VardarAja Sthavam of KurEsar **************************** KurEsar salutes the Lord of Hasthigiri ( Atthigiri AruLALa PerumAL ) as " Nissema abhyadhika Hari" ( the One without equal or superior). He is the One saluted by "Oupanishadhee Sarasvathi Sthuthya Devan " ( Praised by the manthrams of Upanishads ). He is in AzhwAr's eulogy : " KoLLak-kuRaivilan VeNDiRRellAm tarum VaLLal " . The 278th Paasuram echos these thoughts on the unmatched OudhAryam of the Lord of Hasthigiri as : " Karudha Varam tarum Dhaivap-PerumAL vanthAr " . Swamy KurEsar salutes Him in this context as the undepletable mine of gold for those who seek varams from Him : " arTinAm apAram nidhim , arTitArTa paridhAna dhikshithan" . He has taken the vow ( Dheekshai) to be the responder for granting the boons(Varams) sought by His bhakthAs . He is the undisputed Varada Raajan. He is " SarvabhUtha Suhruth " ( One who wishes well for all chEthanams ). He is "DayAnidhi" ( possessor of abundant wealth of Mercy ).He is "AdhirAja DevarAjan" ( ImayOr Talaivan ). Lord VaradarAjan is " Mrushta Varadhan " ( ParipoorNan ) according to KurEsar and all the four PurushArTams are granted by Him . KurEsan concludes that He is Iswaran ( Ayam Iswara:/ avanE ParamporuL). He is Tunga MangaLa GuNAspadhan ( the abode of all the auspicious GuNAs that nourish the Bhaktha Janams ). In Swamy Desikan's Paasuram Passage , He is : " Umbar Thozhum Kazhal Udaya Muthti mazhai pozhiyum muhi VaNNar". Lord VaradarAjan is " adhbhuthan" ( Joy geenrating mysterious One) , " Mahath aseema BhUmakan " ( One who has matchless lofy vaibhavams) , "nisthulan" ( Incomparable) .That adhbhutha , Nisthula Vasthu is standing in front of us on top of Hasthigiri ( Tadhidham TaTyamEva KaridhAmni dhrusyathE ) and is experienced/seen by us. In the 12th slOkam of SrI VaradarAja Sthavam , KurEsar pours out his reverence for the Lord of Atthigiri in a most moving manner and salutes Him as: " NirABAadhan " ( One without any changes ) , "Nithyan" ( eternal) , "Niravadhi "( Present everywhere, prathi vasthu poorNan ) , "Nirupaman" ( Matchless) and " SadhA Saanthan " ( always tranquil) . This Vara Varadhan ( Grantor of lofty boons ) is aasritha sulabhan ( easy to reach by those , who seek His refuge) be they humans or animals or birds. When Gajendhran cried out for rescue by addressing Him as Aadhimoolam , He rushed to rescue that elephant ( Moolam yena Olamida vallAr avnthAr). In the ThiruchinnamAlai Paauram , Swamy Desikan salutes VaradarAjan as "Azhagar" From slOkams 21 to 54th slOkams of SrI VaradarAja Sthavam , KurEsar describes the asAdharaNa beauty of Lord VaradarAjan . Swamy Desikan's SrI VaradarAja PanchAsath & the 278th Paasuram ******************************************************* Swamy Desikan's tribute to Lord VaradarAjan in His PanchAsath are the most beautiful and has many echos of this Paasuram. Here are some anubhavams: KaaruNya Raasi: = embodiment of the auspicious guNam of KaruNai avyAja Vathsalan = sahaja vAthsalyan In the 48th SlOkam , Swamy Desikan enjoys the beauty of the Lord adorning many vAhanams ( Garudan , AaaLum PallAkku , Horse , ThirutthEr /Ratham) during the many uthsavams and prays for the daily anubhavam of those pleasurable moments. This is an echo of the 2nd line of the 278th Paasuram : " Aanai Pari thEr mEl Azhagar VanthAr". Propelled by the beauty of the Lord's ThirumEni Azhagu ( Beauty of His sacred Body ), Swamy Desikan swears that he has no interest to lose that experience and opt for life in SrI Vaikuntam ( Vaikunta VasEapi abhilAshaL na ,sathyam sabhE ). Such is the glory of Lord VaradarAjan , who has now arrived amidst us to the accompaniment of His Thirucchinna Oli .
