Meaning:
KooratthAzvAn's
Sri Sookthis have attained the state of
ThirumAngalyam (auspicious thread
worn by Sumangalis)
around the Vedha Maadha.We recite the word of
Nama:for
the MahA PaNdithar,KurEsar with the same reverence as
we recite
the sacred Veda manthrams.

From
the above thaniyan, inspite of ALwar Sri Sookthis,
other AchArya Sri
Sookthis, IthihAsam such as Ramayanam
Mahabharatam, PurAnams such as Vishnu
Puranam,etc.,
ONLY Swamy KooratAlwan Sri Sookthis have attained
the
state of ThirumAngalayam to Vedha Maadha. Such is the
greatness of
the Pancha Sthavams and the composer Swamy
kooratAlwan !!
His
works has to be read by all SriVaishnavites which
is delicious and sweet to
recite. While reciting Sri
Varadaraja Sthavam, the experince brings
Hastigiri
PerarulAn in front of one's eye. Below is the one of such
beautiful slOkam on Sri hastigiri PEraruLAlan:
