56) TheerTaswamy Saras-snAtha JanAbhIshta pradhAyinE SrI VenkatEsAya Nama:
 
Salutations to Lord Venkatesa , who confers all the boons by those , who take their
sacred bath in Swamy  PushkaraNi before arriving at His Sannidhi !  

The previous nama told us that all negative effects of sins were washed off by Swami Pushkarini. This tirunama indicates that there is also the positive effect to bathers, of their desires being fulfilled--thus not only "anishta nivritti" but "ishta praapti" is also assured to those who seek out this Lord among holy waters.
 
Though innumerable seekers have attained their heart's desires by having a holy dip in the Swami Pushkarini, mention  must be made of an illustrious few beneficiaries. One is Dasaratha, whose desire for a son to carry on the lineage was satisfied when he begot the Paramatma Himself as progeny.  Sri Rama is reputed to have bathed in this pond and achieved the twin goals of Ravana Samhaaram and regaining Sri Sita. Kaashyapa, a Brahmin who knew the art of curing people from snake bite, but who did not extend his services to Parikshit maharaja who was bitten by the serpant Dakshaka due to the riches offered by the snake king and contracted sin thereby, also washed his sin off by bathing in the Swami Pushkarini. We have already narrated the boundless benefits obtained by Shankha Raja of Hehaya dynasty, by worshipping the waters of this Pushkarini.
 
It is clear from the aforesaid that the Swami Pushkarini is indeed a "Kaamadhenu", satisfying the desires of seekers. Since all its powers flow from the Lord HImself, Srinivasa Himself is adulated as the bestower of boons to those who bathe in the Pushkarini.
The importance of bathing in Swamy  PushkaraNi is referred to here. Those who bathe in this sacred body of waters linked to Lord VenkatEsA's own SrI Vaikuntuam are blessed to recieve whatever purushArTam ( Dharma, arTa , Kaama and Moksham).
 
Lord VenkatEsan is the grantor of all kinds of boons (Sarva vara PradhAyakan ) in this Kali Yugam ( Kali Yuga Varadhan).Those
who bathe in the sacred pond of Swamy  PushkaraNi  and arrive at His sannidhi with folded hands seeking boons are granted
their desired boons .
 
Lord VenkatEsan is omnipotent(Sarva Sakthan) and easy to approach ( Sulabhan). He is eternal (Nithyan) and stands on top of the Venkatam hills by the side of Swamy PushkaraNi to grant all mangaLams (auspiciousness) to His dear devotees.bathing on all days in Swamy  PushkaraNi pleases Him and bathing in Mukkotti DwAdasi in particular pleases Him immensely.
 
The sight of devotees performing anga pradhakshiNam after bathing in Swamy PushkaraNi and rolling with all of  their limbs around the prAkArams of the Lord's sanctum is a moving one.
 
This naama salutes the Lord"s sacred PushkaraNi as " TheerTaswamy Saras". One can also intrepret "TheerTa-Swamy "as
TheerTEshu Swamy or the Emperor among the sacred waters . The other intrepretation is Swamy's theerTam or the sacred waters
associated with the Lord of Venkatam .
