The 67th Naamam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam:
****************************************
Thrivikramaaya Nama:

One who took Thrivikrama avathAram to curb the hauteur of Bali Chakravathi  and help the dEvAs regain their lost kingdom.

SeerkAzhi ( KaazhiccheerAma ViNNagaram ) and ThirukkOvalUr dhivya Desam paasurams of Thirumangai AzhwAr and Swamy  Desikan's SrI DehaLeesa sthuthi as well as the Paasurams of the Mudal AzhwArs ( Poygai, BhUtham and PEy) have to be recalled for the enjoyment of the Tatthvam behind the Thrivikrama Naamam.He took the First aasramam of  BrahmachAri to recieve Bikshai from Bali Chakravarthy . Had He gone as  a grahasthan (second aasramam) , He would not have recieved the gift of three feet of land that He wanted from Bali. He hid His inseperable  Consort undr the deer skin in His sacred thread and went as a dwarf BrahmachAri, got what he asked and then grew to the giant size of Thrivikraman and measured the worlds with His two steps and sent Bali to the nether world with the third step. .

This Naamam is also 533rd SrI VishNu Sahasra Naamam . Swamy ParAsara Bhattar intreprets it as the Lord , who traverses or pervades the three VedAs.He is the main subject matter of the three VedAs and all the VedAs speak in one voice about Him and His glories (ThreeN VedAn kramathE yO hi mahimnA sa Thrivikrama:).

Swamy AlavanthAr prays for that Thrivikrama Paadham to decorate his head as aabharaNam ( Thrivikrama ThvaccharaNAmbhuja dhvayam madheeya moordhAnam alankarishyathi). AchArya RaamAnuja salutes the Thrivikrama avathAram and performs  His prapatthi: " Loka VikrAntha charaNou saraNam tEavrajam VibhO".
