For instance , the AaarAdhanams by BrahmA during the first yugam ( krutha Yugam ), the AarAdhanam by GajEndhran in the second yugam ( thrEthA yugam) , the AarAdhanam by Deva Guru , Brahaspathi in the third yugam ( DhvApara Yugam ) and the AarAdhanam by AadhisEshan in the fourth yugam (Kali yugam ) are referred to in NaamAs 63, 66, 84 and 90 . Kaanchi GarudOthsavam is saluted in NaamA 100 . PerumdEvi ThAyAr's KalyANa Kodi Vimanam is saluted in nAmA 105. The Lord's appearance wiht PuNya KOdi VimAnam from the Yaj~na KuNtam of Chathurmukha Brahma is saluted in NaamA 26. Lord VardarAjan's happiness in residing at ThoNdai MaNDalam ( ThudIra MaNdalam) is referred to in NaamA 4. His presence as AntharyAmi in DaharAkAsam is saluted in nAmA 50 (Udal misai uyirenak- karenthengum paranthuLan --Swamy NammAzhwAr). Kusa dhvaja MaharAja 's (IshvAku Kula RaajA) PuthrakAmEshti Yaagam at Kaanchi, the birth of a son by name Visvajith and the kaimkaryam of this Raaja kulam for Lord Varadhan are covered in the nAmAs 88 nad 89. King Visvajith built the ramparts of Kaanchi and performed many Kaimkaryams for the Lord of Hasthigiri . The rescue of GajEndran and the destruction of the Crocodile that attacked the GajEndran resulting in the name of GajEndra varadan is saluted in nAmAs 79 and 80.

(PraNavam) nama: PraNathArTiharaaya is the manthram for gaining the boons from Lord VaradarAjan like (PraNavam ) namO VenkatEsAya for Saptha GirIsan. adiyEn will conclude this posting with a famous slOkam saluting the Vaibhavam of the sacred feet of Lord VaradarAjan: maanArham mahathAm mahA naDa jaDA paryantha niryanthrana kreetA bhandhura sindhurAja mahishI janmAspatham Tathpadham MadhangAchala mouLimaNDana maNEr vandhAru brunfdhAraka srENI sEkhara paarijAtha kalikA chUDalamIdAmahE (meaning): Lord VaradarAjAn's sacred feet (ThiruvadigaL) are worthy of worship by even glorious ones like the Chaturmuka BrahmA; these holy feet of the Lord are the place of origin of the beautiful wife of Samudra Raajan , GangA dEvi, who sports without obstruction on the matted locks of the famous dancing God , Sivan; the assembly of devAs relish wearing the paarijAtha flowers from the garlands adorning the Thiruvadi of this Lord of Kaanchi. Those sacred feet adorn the heads of the prostrating dEvAs as alankAram . May we offer our salutations to those Thiruvadis , which shine as the gem stones on the crst of Hasthi Giri !
