SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest all,

Let us continue to enjoy AzhwArs wonderful verses on
Thiruvenkatamudiayaan. 

BhakthAmrutham viswa janAnumodhanam 
sarvArthatham Sri Satakopa Vaangmayam 
sahasra SaakOpanishadh samAgamam
namAmyaham Draavida Vedha Saagaram 

Meaning ): adiyEn salutes the ocean of Tamizh Vedam ,
which is of the form of Sri SaThakOpan's vaak
(speech/aruLiccheyalkaL). These are linked to the
thousand upanishads and includes in them all the deep
meanings (Taathparyams)of Tatthva-Hitha-PurushArthams
and artha Panchakam. They are nectar to the minds of
the devotees of Sriman NaarAyaNan and they enjoy it
with relish as aparyAthAmrutham [insatiable amirtham].

Today?s ThiruvEnkatam verse is: NammAzhwAr?s
Thiruvaaymozhi 3.3.5

sOthi yaakiyel laavula kumthozum,
aathi moortthiyen RaalaLa vaagumO?,
vEthi yarmuzu vEdhath thamuthatthai,
theethil seer_tthiru vEngadath thaanaiyE.       3.3.5

He, My Emperumaan- is the Bliss of Sweetness of Nectar
as described in VedAs, the rich wealth of Vedic
Brahmins; [dhanam of Brahmins; mama kulanAtham; mama
kula dhanam; mama kula daivatham]. He has got the Most
Auspicious attributes (kalyANa guNAs) with no
blemishes; He is ThiruvEnkadatthAn; If I address  Him
as "the One who is the Cause and Effect of all worlds
and is the Primordial Chief, who is of ever shining,
Most Illustrious Light!" - then, Will it be a Glory to
Him? Will it do justice to His Greatness! Never. 

In 3.3.5 , Azhwaar praises the "simplicity and the
magnanimous grace " of the Lord of Thiruvenkatam ( the
essence of DayaSathakam ) and states that He patiently
stands on top of Thiruvenkatam hills waiting for
Saranagathars, unmindful of the merits or demerits of
them. He is not satisfied even when a large number of
those sought His refuge are redeemed . He waits for
more to grant  them the bliss of Moksham . 

He is Veda Vedyan; essence of all Vedas. It is Vedas
that declare Him to be the Ultimate Cause and Chief of
all worlds, beings. If one tells that and even if
Vedas declare that, will it do justice to His
greatness? Never one can comprehend His greatness.
yathO vachO nivartthanthE aprA aapya manasa sa:

Sriman Narayanan is the supreme being glorified in all
the four Vedas. He is the one who is described as
"YathO vAchO nivartantE AprApya manasA saha" (meaning:
Words cannot adequately describe the
vast expanse of His glory. The mind cannot comprehend
his incomparable mahima.) in the Taittriya upanishad. 

In this connection and conmtext, let us enjoy another
reference to VishNusahasranAmam, wherein there is a
naamam sthuthaya? One who is praised. [Extract from
Sri N Krishnachari?s brilliant compilation]:
stutah - He Who is praised.

SrI BhaTTar's vyAkhyAnam is that bhagavAn is called
stutah because He is praised by everyone including the
nitya sUri-s for the attainment of their respective
desires.  This includes the thousand-hooded
AdiSesha,garuDa who is the embodiment of the
three-fold veda-s, brahma and other gods, and also by
humans being like ourselves (sahasra-phaNa
trayI-mayAdibhih anantaih brahmAdibhih, asmadAdibhiSca
tat-tad-abhilAsha siddhaye stuta iti).   SrI BhaTTar
gives reference to
the Sruti "dhAtA purastAt yamudAjahAra Sakrah
pravidvAn pradiSaS-catasrah" - purusha sUktam - "At
first, brahma, the creator,praised Him, then indra of
great knowledge extolled Him, and then the four
directions".  The reference to the four directions
indicates that He is the Object of praise by all
beings like ourselves.  SrI v.v.rAmAnujan gives
reference to nammAzhvAr's tiruvAimozhi 3.3.5, which
conveys this idea - "SodiyAgi ellA ulagum tozhum Adi
mUrti enRAl aLavAgumO?".
