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]. 

Thirumangai AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam
