Thirukkudanthai Saarangapaani
The 51st Naamam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam:
***************************************
Saarnga pANinE Nama:

One who sports the Divine bow , Saarngam , in His lower right hand.

Saarngam is the divine bow of the Lord , which pours out unfailing arrows at the enemies of His bhakthAs . It is the weapon of Lord Raamachandra .With Saaranga bow in His hand , Our Lord dispels the misery of the oppressed , destroys the fear of the frightened and serves as the instrument of death for the enemies of His aasrithAs:

AartAnAm aarthihanthAram bheethAnAm bheethi-nAsanam
dhvishathAm kaaladaNDam Tamm Raamachandram namAmyaham

The seeking of refuge of the Lord's mighty SaarangA bow is the subject of another PanchAyudha Sthothram:

Yaj-jyaa-ninAda-sravNaath surANAm
chEthAmsi nirmuktha bhayAni sadhya:
bhavanthi Daitya-asani -bANa varshee
Sarngam Sadhaaham SaraNam prapadhyE

(Meaning): For ever I seek the protection of the Lord's bow of Saarangam  , whose twangs of the bow string , when heard  removes instantly the fear from the hearts of DevAs . This bow showers thunderlike arrows on the Asuraas.
