The mahima of Thayar's divine names is matchless! Sri Venkatadwari Kavi embeds the essence of the rig Sooktham salutation "thAm padhminImIm sharaNamaham prapadhyE alakshmIrmEnashyathAm thvAm vruNE". This salutation glorifies meaning of the term Sri signified by ShruNAthi (i.e., one who destroys the impediments in the path of a Prapanna seeking the grace of Lord Narayana). The foremost impediment in this context is the mountainous pile of sins accumulated from beginningless time. This is the "alakshmI" precluding the attainment of the Dhivya Sampath (eternal Kaimkaryam rendered to the Divine Couple for their pleasure and at their behest). However, the compassionate glances of Thayar effortlessly destroy this sin pile enabling the Prapanna to become privy to the grace of Lord Narayana. Swami Desikan glorifies this mahOpakaram of Thayar in the Daya Shatakam salutations "karuNE nishkaruNanirUpaNEthvam athayEvahi thAvakAshrithAm dhurithAnam BhavathithvadhEva Bhiti;" and "sathyApitham thavabhalAdha kuthO Bhaya thvam" Thanks again for reminding adiyen of these nuggets about thayar.
