SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah Dearest Srivaishnavas, mannumaama larkkizhaththi vaiyamankai mainthanaay, pinnumaayar pinnaithOLma NampuNarntha thanRiyum, unnapaatha mennasinthai mannavaiththu nalkinaay, ponnisoo zharankamEya puNdareeka NnallaiyE? (55) The loving ever Youthful master of Periya PiraaTTi Lakshmi (residing eternally on the grand lotus flower), BhUmi PiraaTTi; and further more, enjoyed uniting and hugging the bamboo like shoulders of beautiful cowherd girl Nappinnai PiraaTTi; and not just that; You placed Your tender divine lotus feet in my mind and ensured that they are firmly seated there and blessed me. Because You are none other than the Grandest Supreme Lord of Sri Rangam mercifully showing Yourself here to devotees. In as much as You enjoyed with Sri and Hri at Paramapadham, You enjoyed being with Nappinnai PiraaTTi when You appeared as cowherd Boy KaNNan. Still, it would not have been easy for adiyEn (me) to meditate on Your lotus feet and enjoy them here based on your KaNNan leelAs alone. Simply because You are mercifully showing Yourself gracefully at Srirangam for the sake of devotees even this day, You have enjoyed placing my lotus feet in my heart as much as You enjoyed being with the divine consorts and Nappinnai. [this is similar to NammAzhwAr?s namakkum poovin misaim mangaikkum nAthan] You are the One at Srirangam for the sake of all of us. This nammAzhwAr's namakkum poovin misai nangaikkum nAthan [master for us- and also for PiraaTTi- Mahalakshmi] - reminds me of Sri Madhavchariar's narration of how Sri Thirukkudanthai Andavan enjoyed this line ... When a man buys a good most valuable sari for his spouse, he is affectinate and loving towards his wife- and he wants her to know by the purchase of such a valuable item for her. If he also buys the same quality of a sari- (identical to the wife's) for his vElaikkaari (maid servant), then on whom does He have more affection?- Naturally on the maid... Similarly, PerumAL (the Lord) is the master for us and in same way for the PiraaTTi- meaning- He is more affectionate and loving towards us- is Acharyan's anubhavam.. [This is to be enjoyed in lighter vein- do not take it serious- the undrelying anubhavam of Lord's compaasion needs to be understood] Kizhatthi- old or Grand or rightful lady- Periya PiraaTTi; She is the Mother of the jagath; akila jaganmAtharam; asmadhmAtharam (says Sri Bhashyakarar in Sanagathi gadyam). You are the eternally Youthful Lord of that BhUmi PiraaTTi and Periya PiraaTTi. But You enjoyed being with cowherd beautiful Nappinnai (as she is younger than others). Now my mind being the youngest of all is the object of greater enjoyment for Your lotus feet.
