 The 32nd Naamam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam:
 *****************************************
AchyuthAya Nama:

 (Meaning):  Achyuthan is the One who never abandons His BhakthAs;  He is the One who never slips form His role as the Supreme Being .

 As Achyuthan behind the Achyutha tatthvam , SrI VenkatEsan is saluted also by three SrI VishNu Sahasra Naamams( 101st , 320th and 557th). Swamy Desikan has saluted VenkatEsa Svaroopan at ThiruvahIndhrapuram with the 100 slOkams in PrAkrutham through his SrI Achyutha Sathakam .

 Chyuthi means leaving or abandoning .Achyuthi means  the act of never leaving one , who has sought refuge. In MahA BhAratham , Achyuthan declares His vow as " na thyajEyam kaTanchana" ( Never will I abandon
 my  bhakthAs).

 In SrImad RaamAyaNam , which is SaraNAgathy sAsthram , the Lord declares : "TasyAham na praNasyAmi" ( I do not disappear from him ). It is His dharmam and Karmam . Aasritha rakshaNam is His chosen duty.

 SrI VishNU sahasra Naamam passage containing the 320th nAmA elaborates on the Achyutha Tatthvam this way:

 " ACHYUTHA : praTitha: PrANa: praNadhO VaasavAnuja: apAm nidhi: adhishDAnam apramattha: prathishtitha:"

 As Achyuthan , He never loses His supermacy and loses His  position as SarvEswaran even if He takes an avathAram as Brahma , Indhra et al. There is never ever chyavanam on any occasion.He does not come down from His exalted status ever as the Overlord of all .Brahma , Indhra are Karma-vasyAL and suffer rebirths and come down from their appointed positions. Our Lord as Achyuthan never ever slips from His position as SarvEsvaran and Sarva Rakshakan.

 To celebrate the Achyutha Tatthvam , Swamy Desikan salutes Him as "sTira JyOthi: " , the enduring Radiance , which never dims. He is also saluted as "DaasAnAm Sathyam", the One is true to His dAsAs . He never plays games with them . He is always there for them.He is " SaraNAgatha Sathyan " and stays as Achyuthan for them.His sankalpa Jn~Anam stays steady as the brightest lamp on the hills of ThiruvEnkatam for all to see and experience.This Achyutha Sakthi (PrabhAvam) is a wonderous power (adhbhutha sakthi) that is not shared by any others ( sadhrysa abhyakA: na khalu/ There is no one equal or superior to Him as Achyuthan).There is no one to give the hand to lift us out of the miseries of  SamsAram ( " Thvath anya: hastha aalamBa: na asthi " according to Swamy Desikan). Rest of the DevAs have Isvara BhAvam and have limits to their powers , which are granted in the first place by Achyuthan Himself. They have limits in coming to our rescue. Our Lord VenkatEsan is Achyuthan and never fails in His vow to protect us.
