SrivaishnavamSri:

Dear Sri Hayagriva BhakthAs :

adiyEn is including the Prapatthi Sri Sookthi of Sri KumAra VaradAchAr
Swamy at the sacred feet of his Father and AchAryan , Swamy  Desikan .

KumAra VaradAchAr consecrated his AchAryan's dhivya MangaLa 
Vigraham at many dhivya dEsams including Thiruvaheendhrapuram,
where the Vigraham was created by Swamy Desikan Himself is being
worshipped even today . That special Vigraham of extraordinary 
beauty and tEjas will climb the steps of Oushadha Giri on the PurattAsi 
SravaNam day (October 12 , 2005) to perform MangaLAsAsanam
for Lord HayagrIvan from the four pillared Mandapam , which is being
expanded on both sides by the MahA Mandapam under construction .
Please send your SamarpaNam checks and drafts directly to Sriman 
Soundararajan Swamy at the address given in the Srikainkarya Web site :

      This SrI sookthi has 10 slOkams and was composed by Swamy KumAra 
VaradAcchAr , the son and sishyar of SrI NigamAntha MahA Desikan.This SrI 
sookthi celebrates the glories of the sacred ThiruvadigaL of Swamy Desikan and 
each of the slOkams ends with the refrain of:

      " VedAntha Soori CharaNou SaraNam prapadhyE "

      SrI U.V. T.E. SrIrangam RanganAthAchArya Swamy has authored this article 
in the Special Souvenir on ThiruvahIndhrapuram and adiyEn will translate from 
that article with occasional cadded comments. The author observes that this 
Desika Prapatthi grantham was used as a model by later-day AchAryAs, who 
composed Prapatthi SrI Sookthis such as SrI Venkatesa Prapatthi (PrathivAdhi 
Bhayankaram Annan for ThiruvEnkatamudaayAn at the niyamanam of His AchAryan, 
Swamy MaNavALa MaamunigaL).

earth and which knocks on the heads of all Para Vaadhis , chastises them for 
their wrong views on Tatthva Thrayams and corrects them .

      In the first two lines, Swamy Desikan's soulabhyam is referred to and the 
last two lines hint at His Parathvam (Supermacy).

      It is interesting to note that the first letter of each of the four 
Paadhams of this Prapathti start with "V" or its variations like "Vi" or "vE" 
in all of the ten slOkams . Consistent VakAra prayOgam is noteworthy... (V.S)
