SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest all, Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwArs wonderful verses on Thiruvenkatamudiayaan. kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama: I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the whole world, to destroy the darkness of ignorance (a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the Kali dhOsham. vaanavar thangkaL sindhai pOla en nNeNYchamE! inidhuvanNdhu, maadhava maanavar thangkaL sindhai yamarnNdhuRai kinRavenNdhai, kaanavaridu kaaragiRpugai yOngku vEngkadam mEvi, maaNkuRaL aana anNdhaNaR kinRadi maitthozhil pooNdaayE. 2.1.1 In the first hundred, ThirumangaiAzhwAr enjoyed the Thirumanthra laabham and the esoteric meanings of the same and then realised the Lord housed in Thirumanthram being available so gracefully at Divya dEsams for us as our refuge. AzhwAr looks around and found that none is seeking the Lord?s grace o praying to Him performing Saranagathy.. for serving Him eternally at His Feet. So, AzhwAr admires his mind for being so supportive and co-operative in letting him reach upto this level. In this hundred AzhwAr desires the sustenance of thoughts on Bhagawadh kaimkaryam alone in his mind, always and pleads the Lord for the same. First ten of this hundred, describes AzhwAr's appreciation of his mind for its able support and thought on Bhagawadh kaimkaryam uninterruptedly. 1. On my friendly supportive mind! My Swami- the One who stays permanently in the hearts of [sages] thapasvis- the One who stays at the hills of ThiruvEmkatam where the smoke arising out of burnt "agil" tree branches and stems that are thrown on the fire by the forest hunters- the One who appeared as little dwarf Vaamanan - and to such Greatest Lord- you have desired to perform kaimkaryam; You have sought such Greatest sweet kaimkaryam like Nithya sooris! AzhwAr appreciates his mind for having taken him thus to ThiruvEnkatam when the sages who reside therein are still searching for His Lotus Feet still; AzhwAr wonders as to how the mind is able to guess where the ThiruvEnkatam mountain is and the Lord resides. It is from the sandal smoke that emanates in the skies from the burning of those tree branches.. AzhwAr also is reminded of the Vaamanan and Thiruvikrama avathAram when he thinks of His Parathvam as that is the avathAram where the Lord?s Supremacy is declared unambiguously taking Trivikrama avathAram and measured the whole Universe with His Feet. Chathur mukha brahmA washed His toe thumb and the waters that dropped therein were taken by the matted locks of Rudran and he came auspicious ? Siva- meaning auspiciousness [mangaLam].
