SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama: Dearest all, Kulasekara AzhwAr ?s heart melts and gets goose pimples thinking of the bhAgawathAs of Srirangam. What is a kaimkaryam? Kainkarya is a general sense means a service (or seva) rendered to others. Hence kainkarya for Bhagawaan is Bhagavad kainkaryam. Servcie towards BhAgawathas is BhAgawatha kainkaryam. The Srivaishnava sampradaya and the acharyas do not make any specific mention of any specific type of kainkarya or types of kainkarya to be rendered to a bhAgawatha except that whatever is done should be conformity with the dictates if the sacred texts (yathA saasthram). That is, the kainkaryam offered to a bhAgawatha should be within the ambit of the ethical and religious code laid down by the Saasthra. Sri SMS Chari mentions: That is what would please the Lord. Even a respectful attitude towards a devotee of Vishnu is considered as a bhAgawatha kainkarya. Now let us enjoy the verse: poysilaikkura lERReruththami RuththupOrara veerththakOn seysilaissudar soozhoLitthiNNa maamathiLthenna ranganaam meysilaikkaru mEgamonRutham nenciln^inRu thigazhappOy meysilirppavar thammaiyEn^inain^ thenmanammeysi lirkkumE 2.5 The Lord who conquered and killed the seven strong angry bulls; who danced on the heads of Kaalingan snake and crushed them; who reclines in the dhivya desam of Srirangam, surrounded by tall shining and strong ramparts made of rock stones; whose dhivya mangaLa vigraham is like the divine bow and is like the dark, dense, rain-laden clouds, is contemplated by the ardently devoted bhAgawathas of Srirangam in their hearts permanently with hairs standing on its head (with bhagavad anubhavams). My heart thinks of these blessed bhAgwathas and melts at their devotion; with hairs on my body standing on their heads.
