SrI:
Dear SrI VaradarAja BhakthAs :
Let us reflect today on the tenth Paasuram of Thirucchinna Maalai
( Paasuram 278 of Desika Prabhandham).
Paasuram 278 expresses the paravasam of Swamy Desikan
on the darsanam of Lord VaradarAjan embodying the three
SrI VaidshNava Rahasyams ( Moola Manthram , Dhvayam
and the Charama SlOkam ). This Paasuram is also included
as the 17th paasuram of Meyviratha Maanmiyam ( 224th Desika
Prabhandha Paasuram) that we have already studied .
Please refer to the Oppiliappan Archives for access to

Additional Special Notes on this 278th Paasuram
***************************************
We shall enjoy Swamy KurEsar's and Swamy Desikan's
anubhavams of Lord VaradarAjan in their SrI Sookthis:
SrI VaradarAja Sthavam and SrI VaradarAja PanchAsat
respectively .
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 .
