SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Srivaishnavas,

Ok. We agree that mOksham alone is the goal. But
saasthrAs have glorified even other demi gods- one may
argue. Those who think that they can praise the
swarUpa, vibhUthi (nature and qualities, attributes)
of them (demi gods) and get mOksham, AzhwAr advises
here: listening, contemplation, dhyAnam (meditation),
enjoyment of Dhivya mangaLa vigraha (darshanam) are
all not even accepted by those demi gods. Even if one
does, they can not and are not capable of granting
mOksham- mark my words. All acts of devotion are all
meant only for Sriman Narayanan.

  kaaNilummu ruppolaarse
  vikkinaatha keerththiyaar,
pENilumva rantharami
  dukkilaatha thEvarai,
aaNamenRa dainthuvaazhum
  aathar_kaaL!em maathipaal,
pENin^umpi Rappenumpi
  NakkaRukka kiRRirE.      (69)

Even if one sees- it having a very cruel, ugly form;
even when uttering praises, their glories are not
unpalatable to ears; even when devotedly and lovingly
bow down and prostrate, they can not and are not
capable of granting whatever we ask for.. (There is a
limit for them)- such ones are brahma, rudra et al.
Consdering those demi ones- as the ultimate and
praying to them, ?you alone are the refuge? and enjoy
being their devotees in this life, Oh blind folks!
(adhargaaL).. Jagath kaaraNan (cause and creator of
the whole Universe including your demi gods), Sarva
rakshakan, Sarva shakthan, Sriman Narayanan (One who
is worshipped by us); The Primordial Chief; have love,
devotion, on Him and get rid of that ?peedai? punar
janman (further births) with His benevolent grace. He
alone can do. (PeriyAzhwAr says: 
yerutthukkodiyaanum piramanum indhiranum maRRum
oruttharum ippiRavi yennum nOykku marundhu aRivaarum
illai" (the bull flag one- Sivan, BrahmAn, Indran-
they all do not know the medicine for the disease of
these births and deaths. Not just that. Even if they
know, they are not doctors. Only He knows the medicine
and He knows how to prescribe) 
There is absolutely none else who knows the medicine
to get rid of this disease of births and deaths-other
than Him.

Even if you see them- five heads; three eyes _ with
fire eye; matted locks; fill of ashes on the body;
elephant skin; thigambaram;

Even if one wishes to hear his glories; how he cut the
head of his father (chathur mukha brahmA); how he
troubled and killed his father in law; hw he favoured
the asurAs; how he has destruction and killing alone
as his duty; - is all one can hear. Who wants to
listen to these and above all ? enjoy listening!

Who wants to enjoy such a darshan! Also it is not easy
to get? One has to shave off the head, do severe
penance, sacrifice the son ? is the nature of prayers
they are looking for to get pleased. Ok. We can do
that even those deeds. But what do you get in the
process as a result? They are not capable of getting
our diseases get cured at all! They are not all
capable of granting us mOksham and get out future
births ridden of? 

Simply have devotion on the divine Lord?s ? Sriman
Narayanan?s red lotus feet and that?s all you need to
do. You can get rid if the most deadly disease ?
further births? 

These demi gods are not primordial. He is. They get
their little powers from Him alone. He is our Swami..
Do not get scared. He is so easily accessible. If we
can worship Him, you too can. He is our KaNNan. His
form is sweet; His lips are sweet. His feet is like
red lotus/. Look at His eyes so- divinely charming and
are two large ruddy lined well laid, red lotus eyes.
He never ever lets His devotees down. He forgives all
apacharams (trespasses) of the devotees once they
surrender to Him. He has all glories which themselves
are sweet for our ears; one can keep on hearing them.
They are insatiable nectarine keerthis. Pathram
pushpam phalam, thoyam- even if you offer one flower,
pne fruits, little water, whatever that you have to
His lotus feet, he gets immensely pleased, and thinks
that He is indebted to You for what you have offered
Him. 

He is Jagath kaaraNan; akila jagath swami; asmath
swAmin.. 
He is our kaaraNan ? aAzhwAr says. Sicne He created us
as His devotees, this shrushti has become useful.
Hence our kaaraNan.
