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.
