 ***************************************************
 
 Today , we will continue with the meanings &
 Commentaries on the second and third CharaNams .  
 
 Second CharaNam :
 **************** 
 atisaya Subhadham ahObalam
 atula manOhara mahObalam
 hata duritacayam ahObalam
 Yatimata siddham ahObalam 
 
 (Meaning provided by Ambika Ananth and Adviteeya Dixit):
 
 " Bestower of supreme auspiciousness, AhObalam
  Immeasurably magnificient , AhObalam
  Destroyer of sinful ways , Ahobalam
  Yathi Matham is established here , AhObalam"
 
 2.1) ATISAYA SUBHADHAM AHOBILAM : 
 **************************************
 In this HiraNya SamhAra KshEthram , there are 
 nine Narasimha Moorthys : At the foot of the hill 
 is Lakshmi Nrusimhan ; on the way up the hill are
 YogAnanadha and ChatravaDa Narasimhans . 
 On top of the hill are Ugra nad VarAha Narasimhans .
 Nearby on VedAdhri is Parmulithi Narasimhan ; on top of 
 GandhAdhri hill is PrahlAdha Narasimhan . On the banks of 
 BhArgava theertham are BhArgava and Kaarangi Narasimhan .
 The 67th e-book of Sundarasimham series houses 
 the Nava Narasimha Moorthys and their sannidhis ( Pages 37-39):
 
 http://www.sundarasimham.org  ( 67th e-book on Nrusimha avathAram) .
 
 
 The wonderous anugrahams granted by the AhobalEsan 
 are enjoyed by every one . For instance , Dasaratha Raaman
 stopped at Ahobilam and prayed to Lord Narasimhan for 
 victory in the ensuing battle with RaavaNan . This sthOthram 
 is a moving one and Narasimhan blessed Raamachandran 
 to become succesful in His avathAra Kaaryam . The URL 
 for Lord Ramachandran's sthuthi ( Nrusimha PanchAmrutha 
 sthOthram) is :

 2.2) ATULA MANOHARAM AHOBALAM
 **********************************
 Magnificent indeed in vista and majesty is Ahobilam .
 Thirumangai Mannan describes it as : " senRu kANDarkariya
 Koil SingavEL KunramE " . He salutes it as the rarest abode of
 Lord Narasimha , which is not easy to reach and enjoy .
 
 Thirumangai Azhwar is thrilled to enjoy the unique "atula
 ManOharam " of Ahobilam in his ten Paasurams :
 
 Pages 18-31 of the 67th e-book of the Sundarasimham series:

 2.3) HATADUITACAYAM AHOBILAM 
 *********************************
 Annamayyaa points out here that the Ahobila 
 KshEthram destroys one's sinful ways . The classic
 example is the destruction of the sinful ways of
 HiraNyan , who mistreated PrahlAdhan and 
 committed MahApachArams .
 
 2.4: YATHIMATHA SIDDHAM AHOBILAM 
 ************************************
 Yathi Matham is Bhagavath RaamAnuja matham .
 It was established here by Bhagavath RaamAnuja ,
 Swamy Desikan and Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa Jeeyar ,
 who recieved SanyAsam from the sacred hands of 
 Lord Narasimhan Himself . The Saaram of Yathimatham
 as practised by Ahobila Matam Jeeyars is summarized in
 the 74th e-book of Sundarasimham series:
 
 http://www.sundarasimham.org/ebooks/ebook74.htm
 
 Annamayyaa stayed at the sacred feet of AdhiVaNN
 SaThakOpa Jeeyar for Grantha ChAthushtya KaalkshEpam
 and promulgated Yathi Matham thru His sankeertanams .
 
 The choice of word Siddham is also noteworthy here .    
  
 
 
Third CharaNam:
 ********************

 agu SrI Venkata mahObalam
 agamya masurula kahObalam
 agapadu puNyula kahObalam
 agakularAjam ahObalam          
 
 (Meaning Provided by Amabika Ananath & Adviteeya Dixit):
 
 " That Sree VenkatEsa AhObalam
    Unpercievable by the wicked , Ahobalam
    Percieved by the meretorious, Ahobalam
    The King of all mountains --AhObalam ".  
 
 In the final charaNam of this Keerthanam , 
 Annamayyaa that the Lord worshipped by 
 his ishta dhaivam , VenkatEsan is none 
 other than Lord Narasimhan and sees 
 the Lord of Ahobalam as SrI VenkatEsan .
 
 Annamayya also points out that Lord Narasimhan 
 is easily accessible to His BhakthAs and hard to 
 be accessed by the Bhagavath dhvEshis and 
 those who committ apachArams to His BhAgavathAs .
 BhakthAs identify with Him as " Nammudai NamperumAn "
 and the wicked fear Him and He is far away from them 
 ( tinaitthanayum sellavoNNaa AmmAn idam) .
 
 Annamayya concludes this keerthanam by saluting 
 the sacred mountain as "The King of all Mountains"
 because it has the DevAthi Devan , Narasinga Moorthy
 residing there . Thirumangai salutes Ahobilam mountain 
 as the abode of the most sacred ONE , who tore apart
 HiraNyan with His sharp nails alone , while the world
 that watched this adhbhutham and trembled :

 "ankaN- jn~Alam anja ankOraaLariyAi , avuNan
 pongavAham vaLLUhirAl pOzhnthA punithan idam "
   
 NamO Sri NarasimhAyaa !
 Daasan , Oppiliappan Koil V.Sadagopan         
 
 Srimate Sri Laksminrisimha Divya Paduka Sevaka
 Srivan Satakopa Sri Narayana Yatindra Mahadesikaya Nama:
