SrI :
Dear BhakthAs of Periya PerumAL :
During the occasion of a MahOthsavam for Lord RanganAtha ,
Bhattar was overcome by the dhivya soundharyam of the Lord
enjoying Thirumanjanam and the Veda ghOsham all around .
Bhattar composed the verse below , where He compares the Lord
to His divine Vedams and describes his deep involvement with
both( Lord RanganAtha and His Vedams) :
amrutham-ayam-anantham siddhasarvArTa-jAtham
niyamitha-sakalArTam niscchithAthmaavaBhOdham
kimiha Bahu nirukthai: keertanaabheeshDadham ThvAm
nigamamiva manOj~nam RangarAjAdhya manyE
The Comments of Dr.S.Padmanabhan : The Lord is compared here
to the Veda , which is endless (ananta) , of the nature of nectar
(amruta-immortality) and contains everything ( siddhasarvArTa) in
itself . It has positive guidelines regarding the nature of the self .
It confers what all one desires by its mere recitation (Chanting) .
Lord Ranganatha too has these features . He is of the form of
immortality and infinity (amruta and ananata) . He has created
the entire universe and has set standards for everything (through the Sruti
and smruti and controls everything as their innermost Self . The real nature
of His Self is known only to Himself . He blesses all , when propitiated
through the Keertanaas .
The Significance & Centrality of the Vedams in Lord's Scheme of things

VedAs

You are the creator of these VedAs and performer of all the Veda Karmaaas

Srirangam ,
aasthikAs and Veda Vithpannars ( " aRam thihazhum manatthavar " ) raise the

You respond to those Vaidhika aarAdhanams and present Yourself before these
dharmachAris and all the aasthikAs ( become akhila jana nayana

On the Thirumanjanam days , You bless them all with Your apAnga VeekshaNams
( auspicious glances ) and adorn Sandal paste and Kumkumum to enjoy Your
Thirumanjanam .
