SrI:
           
Dear BhakthAs of  Lord  DevanAtha PerumAL :

Macroscopic view of this Prabhandham
*******************************************
In this Prabhandham of Nava MaNi Maalai , Swamy  Desikan
speaks about the glories of EmperumAn's sacred feet and 
next about His ten avathArams .He follows it up with 
the salutation to the sacred theerthams creeated at
Thiruvaheendhrapuram by Brahma , Garudan , Aadhi Seshan 
and BhUmi Piraatti on the banks of which the  Lord stays
with affection . Swamy  Desikan next elaborates on 
the walk to the seas side during the month of Maasi
to enjoy His uthsavam at the sandy dunes and points out 
that those who have not forgotten His beauty will be
freed from the cycles of births and  deaths .He concludes 
the Nava MaNi Maalai by pleading with the Lord to grant 
him abhaya pradhAnam during his last moments on earth
and acknowledges his composition of nine SrI sookthis 
( 2 in Sanskrit and 7 in Tamil) at the command of his Lord.

ulaham adanga vaLarnthu aLanthana

(Meaning ) : The sacred lotus feet of  Lord DevanAthan ,
who is true to His devotees , enchant the minds of 
the ParamaikAnthis and make them meditate on
those holy feet all the time. Such are their Vaibhavam !
Those sacred feet rose to a gigantic size and contained all 
the worlds under them . They created the GangA river 
and made Lord Siva a Parisuddhan by letting Him hold
that sacred river in His matted locks. During KrishNAvathAram , 
those sacred feet used the hoods of the fiercely 
poisonous serpent , KaaLIngan as the theater 
for their dance and danced there .

Dharuman iranthathu isainthu senRana 
sakadam udainthu kalanga venRana

(Meaning): These sacred feet are powerful to grant 
adiyArs their desired phalans by manifesting as 
the unique and wonderous upAyam . They dared to 
go to DuryOdhanan's court even as an ambassador 
at the request of Dharmaputhrar . Those feet destroyed
into shreds the asuran , who came in the form of a wheel 
to kill Him during KrishNAvathAram .They are saluted by
the SaasthrAs as the insatiable nectar and medicine for
removing the sufferings from worldly afflictions (SamsAra
tApams) .

(Meaning): Those sacred feet unite with the tender
hands of MahA Lakshmi , when She presses them .
They are fragrant with the perfume of sacred TuLasi 
from the archanais  of adiyArs. They shine with the lustre of 
the gem-studded ankle ornament and add beauty to 
the rathna silampu through their union . During RaamAvathAram ,
they blessed Ahalyai to appear again in her beautiful
form as the wife of Gouthama and freed her from
the curse of her husband .

(Meaning): Those sacred feet have the vaibhavam of 
housing themselves inside Upanishads (VedAnthams) .
They sat on the head of BrahmA and rose further up.
They arrived at Thiru Ayindhai to bless Their adiyArs .
Those are the lotus soft and beautiful feet of the Lord
eulogized as Natha Sathyan ( Adiyavar Meyyan)  .
