Thirupparkkadal Ksheeraabdhi Naathan
The 38th Naamam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam:
 *****************************************
Chathur-bhujAya Nama:

One who has the four arms to bless bhakthAs  with the four kinds ofPurushArTams.( " ChathurthAnAm  PurushArTAnAm  chathurbhujOVishNu: ).

 MahA BhAratham salutes Him as the MahA Purushan with four arms( Bhujai: chathurbhi: SamEtham). This is the Para Roopam or the transcendental form of the Lord.

The udhAra limb ( chathur Bhujam ) is saluted by VishNu PurANam
as: " Chathur-bhujam udhArAngam ChakraadhyAyudha BhUshaNam".

He is the Sundara Naal ThOLan (One with four Beautiful arms )as saluted by AzhwArs.His hands are long and are known fortheir matchles generosity to reach out to the ends of the world.He blesses His BhakthAs with any one of the four PurushArTams that they seek such as Dharma , ArTa, Kaama and Moksham.

In His GeethOpadesam , our Lord points out there are  fourtypes of Men of good deeds  who  worship Him.He identifies them asthe distressed , the seekers after Knowledge , the wealth seekersand the men of knowledge.The last believes that the Lord alone is the highest goal to reach (Parama PurushArTam) and does not seekany thing else from the Lord ( Bhagavath Gita : 7.16).

Our Lord identifies with the Jn~Ani, the man of knowledge as beingvery  dear to Him and being with Him always in YogA and devoted totally toHim .Our Lord acknowledges that this Jn~Ani is very dear to Him and
vice  versa:

tEshAM Jn~Ani nithya yuktha yEka bhakthir-visishyathE
priyO hi Jn~AninOathyarTamaham sa cha Mama Priya:

--Bhagavath Gita : 7.17
