Dear BhakthAs of SundarabAhu PerumAL of ThirumAlirum ChOlai :
We will study the SlOkams 24-26 of SundarabAhu Sthavam today .
SlOkam 24
**************
sadhA shAdguNyAkhyai : pruTula Bala vij~nAna Sakana
prabhA veeryaiswaryai: avadhi vidhurai : yEdhitha dasam
dhrumasthOma kashamAbhruth parisara mahOdhyAna mudhitham
prapadhyE adhyArooDasriyam imamaham Sundarabhujam
(Meaning) : adiyEn takes refuge ( aham prapadhyE ) in this Lord , who has
beautiful shoulders , MahA Lakshmi on His chest and who is residing at
the flower gardens in the foothills of Solai Malai dhivya dEsam . He is
always of a joyous temperament . He has the six GuNams of Jn~Anam , Balam ,
Sakthi , Iswaryam , Veerayam and tEjas befitting His name as BhagavAn .
Each of these six guNams have other guNams embedded in them and
thus are limitless . For instance , Souseelyam and Vaathsalyam are included
under KaaruNyam , which in turn is part of one of the six guNams referred
to above . He is thus known for His limitless , "six guNams " ( avadhi
vidhurai: praTula Moorthy) . These six guNams have been saluted as
" ShaDEva PraTamE guNA : " .
His guNam of Balam makes Him bear (support) all the sentients and
insentients tirelessly . His Jn~Anam ( Vijn~Anam ) makes Him see(comprehend)
every thing directly . His Sakana Sakthi enables Him to complete every thing
undertaken by any means . His PrabhA guNam is the supreme jyOthi svaroopam
that dulls every other light through its splendour . Veerya guNam of the
Lord
is the one that transforms every thing else without Himself undergoing any
changes .
Iswarya guNam relates to His status as Ubhaya VibhUthi NaaTan ( LeelA and
Nithya VibhUthis) . He shines eternal with these guNams at Solaimalai .
These six guNams are always present in His five manifestations as BHagavAn
( Param , VyUham , Vibhavam , Archai and AntharyAmi states) .

iddham SundarabAhum-asmi SaraNam yAthO VanAdhrIswaram
(Meaning) : adiyEn performs SaraNAgathy at the sacred feet of Lord
SundarabAhu of VanAdhri ( ThirumAlirumchOlai) . The possession of
even a trace of any one of His most auspicious guNams ( yEshu yEkasya
guNasya vipruDapi ) saluted in the previous slOkam ( Souseelyam , aasritha
Vaathsalyam , SouhArdham , Aarjavam , Dhairyam , sTairyam , Suveeryam ,
Souryam , Kruthaj~nathai , SrImath Gaambheeryam , ChAthuryam et al)
will qualify a human being to become worthy of praise in this world .
Our Lord is however the abode of all of these limitless , auspicious
attributes
( Taadhrusa Vaibhava: ) , which are beyond our full comprehension .
He possesses these countless and supremely glorious attributes
( agaNithai: nisseema bhUmAnvithai : GuNai :) forever . Vedam flounders
in its attempt to describe fullyHis GuNams and Sakthi : " Paraa asya sakthi:
vividhaiva srUyathE " . Rg Vedam chimes in : " na tE VishNO jaayamAnO
na jaathO deva mahimna paramanthamApa " . None who ever lived
or yet to be born will equal or surpass the Mahimai of VishNu . The
dhivyAthma
Svaroopam , the abode of such anantha kalyANa guNams and the dhivya
MangaLa vigraham of Sriman NaarAyaNan have elected as their permanent
abode , the dhivya dEsam of ThirumAlirumchOlai .
