6) VrushAdhri PathayE Nama: Salutations to the
Lord of
Vrusha or Dharmaa hills !
In the third naamaa , salutations were made to
the Lord , who becomes the object of experience of
one's cognitive indhriyams ( Vrusha-dhrug
gOcharAya Nama:).
Here , salutations
are extended to the Lord , who manifested
Himself ( Svyam Vyaktham ) on the foot hills of
VrushAchalam,
where Dharma dEvathai did penance once . Swamy
Desikan
prostrates before this Vrusha Saila NaaTan this
way in the ninth
slOkam of Dayaa Sathakam:
Kamapyanavadhim vandhE KaruNA-VaruNAlayam
VRUSHA SAILA TADA-STAANAM svayam vyakthim
upAgatham
(Meaning): For those , who live near the
VirushAdhri
hill of the Thiruvenkatam chain of hills , there
is an ocean
that has self-manifested for the eternal enjoyment
of
those fortunate to live near it . The Dayaa
(Compassion/Mercy )
of the Lord of VrushAdhri hill is the matter
that makes up
the ocean . That Dayaa is matchless and wonderful
. This
ocean of Dayaa can not be calibrated and
quantified by
either place or time or vasthu. I salute that
incomparable
ocean of Dayaa .
The term "Vrishaadri" denotes further
that these holy hills are the embodiment of
dharma or righteousness. Swami Desikan tells us in
Daya Satakam that to those
who live on or near this Vrishaadri, the
Lord confers the benefit of their last thoughts
("Antima Smriti") being focussed on
Himself, ensuring their emancipation (Moksham) .
