Dear Achyutha BhakthAs :

Some years ago , I had composed a AshtOtthra 
satha NaamAvaLi from Swami Desikan's own words 
used in Achyutha Sathakam and DeavanAyaka 
panchAsath . Here is the fruit of that effort .
I will comment on the meanings of the individual
naamAs later .Thiruvahindrapuram, Kanchipuram and
Srirangam were very dear to Swami Desikan . Many 
illustrious Sri Sookthis were created by 
Swami Desikan at ThiruvahIndhrapuram .Sri mani
Varadarajan has created a most informative home
page for this important divya desam .These postings
on Achyutha sathakam are intended as extension
of the anubhavam of Swami Desikan of
Taranga Mukha Nandini ( HemAbhjavalli ) and
Kinkara Sathyan of ThiruvahIndhrapuram   :
