Dearest all,

Let us conclude the 4th decad of azhwAr?s verses on
ThiruvEnkatam. A brilliant set of verses.

111th verse today?

manniyathaN saaral vadavENG kataththaanRan
ponniyalum sEvatikaL kaaNpaan purinthiRaiNYchi
konnavilum koorvEl kulasE karansonna
panniyan^ool thamizhvallaar paangaaya paththargaLE

Kulasekara - The king who has mastered the art of
conquering the enemies with his sharp spear, has sung
this ten  With an intense desire to see, enjoy the
golden hued, red lotus most beautiful feet of Lord who
has shown himself so gracefully on the mountain of
ThiruvEnkatam, where the soft, chill drizzles of water
falls sprinkle everywhere. Those who have recited
these ten [or read these translations] would be
blessed by the Lord to be well-ripened devotees
[paangaaya patthargaLE]. 

KualsekarAzhwAr mentions in his phala sruthi that
those who recite these ten would be great bhakthas.
They will be ripened ,well qualified, deemed fit to
perform kaimkaryam that pleases the Lord most. He
means to say that the reciters would not have to seek
as AzhwAr sought asking from fish, stork, etc. The
Lord Himself would grant them what is the best.
Commentators enjoyed. 

AzhwAr had beautifully sought for various sthaavara
jangama births (none moving and moving beings] in the
mountain of ThiruvEnkatam. This is also stated by Sri
Azhagiya ManavaLa perumAL Naayanaar [as narrated in
Sri Velukkudi Krishnan upanyasam]- based on ?Let me be
born as anything in ThiruvEnkatam.? 

Aniya oora punaiya 
Adiyum podiyum pada 
Parvatha bhavanangaLilE 
yEdhEnum onRaauy janikka vENum. 

Aniya- AdhisEshan kaimkaryam... As bed, as seat... As
His sandals [seNraal kudaiyaam, irundhaal
singaasanammam; ninRaam maravadiyaam]

Oora- Riding on Garuda
Punaiya- to be worn as garland (be a garland) on the
divine chest of the Lord. The flowers go to the
corpses; some go to dust; some are blessed to reach
the Lord?s dhivya mangaLa vigraham.
Adiyum podiyum pada- The dust at the feet should touch
us. When Kutti Krishnan jumped into the pond to dance
on Kaalingan head, from the kadhamba tree Hence the
kadhama tree is so blessed to have got the dust from
His Lotus Feet.  

[Thirumangai AzhwAr addresses Mahaa bhali as
Kaamaruseer avuNan- the asura who is desired after [be
me] as his head was touched by the Lord Himself] 

parvatha bhavanangaLil- In the mountains where the
Lord resides, and in the palaces of His or the
residences of Bhaagawathaas? Let me be blessed to be
born there as ANYTHING.

Sri Alavandhaar also mentions that he would rather be
an insect in the residence of a Bhaagawatha [Sthothra
Rathnam] 

thava daasya sukhaika sanginaam
bhavanEshu asthu api keeta janma mE
idharaavasathEshu maa sma bhoodh
api mE janma chathurmukhAthmanaa              [55]

Please bless me to be born as even a small worm at the
thirumaaLigai (house) of
Bhaagawatha-Paramaikaanthin-who are devoted only at
Your Lotus Feet and enjoy only the Lotus Feet of
Yours; may I be born so. BUT PLEASE DO NOT let me be
born even as the Chathur mukha brahmA [the four faced
Brahmaa] in the residence of those who do not consider
themselves as devotees of Yours.

The Bhaagawathaas- are grander and more glorious than
even the rivers like Ganges, Cauveri, etc. The fruits
of taking holy baths in the sacred rivers- are perhaps
the association with Bhaagawathaas. The white cloth
gets its colour when other colours join the same;
similarly, the sathsangam makes one shine like gold
and be resplendent with Bhakthi for the Lord.
Hencethere should be nithya vaasam (permanent
residence) in the ThirumaaLigai (residence) of
Bhaagawathaas. Instead of being born as human beings
and then have association with the Bhaagawathas and
then leave them due to some reason, it is even better
to be born as worm in the residence of Bhaagawathas-
thereby there is no chance or avenue to even go out of
the house.Even if it gets crushed inadvertently by
Bhagawathas, it is even grander to die there. During
its short life, there will be at time occasional
kataaksham at those worms by those Bhagawaathas. That
itself is enough. Pasur manushya pakshI vaa- they
bless all beings with benevolent grace.

Instead, even it is equal to the status of Chathur
mukha Brahmaa, OR even given a chance to rule this
entire universe as Brahmaa (four faced one) it is
still lowly and will do no good to Athma vichaaram.
Also brahmaa?s life is so long, one needs to suffer
and suffer and suffer with samsaaric affliction. What
is the use of education, wealth, power, fame- when
there is no devotion for Bhagawaan, no detachment
(vairAgyam) etc?
