NamO VenkatEsAya 

Dear BhakthAs of the Lord of Saptha Giri :

The 28th Naamam:(PraNavam) YaadhavEndhrAya Nama:
*************************************************
This SrI VenkatEsa Naamam is close to
the 710th Sri VishNu Sahasra Naamam (SVSN):
"Yadhu SrEshtAya nama: " ( The pre-eminent 
among the YaadavAs).

Meaning of  NamaAm " YadhavEndhrAya Nama:"
*****************************************
Salutation to the Lord of Sapthagiri , who
is the best among the rulers of the Yadhu 
Vamsam as Venkata KrishNan .

Additional Comments on the YaadhavEndhra Tatthvam
*************************************************
The Yadhu clan arose from Chandran , His son Budhan
and then on to YayAthi and king Yadhu . VasudEvar who
married Devaki belongs to this Yadhu Vamsam .
KrishNa was born as the son of VasudEvar and Devaki
to destroy Kamsan (asuran KaalanEmi's rebirth )
and to perform many miracles as avathAra purushan. 
The Lord's avathAram as YaadhavEndhran is saluted by 
SrI NaarayaNIyam: " BhavAmi Yaadhava kulE sOham
samagrAthmanA" ( The Lord's words: I will incarnate in
the Yaadhava Kulam in my ParipoorNa Svaroopam to
destroy the kings like Kamsan , who terrorize
others on Earth).

Swamy Desikan has created one of the greatest Kaavyams
celebrated as YaadhavAbhudhyam . KrishNa is the IndhrA
( the famous ruler) of the Yaadhava vamsam. He is 
the Yaadhava kula DhIpam and Tilakam .The other Indhran
( King of DevAs) performed Govindha PattAbhishEkam to
the Indhran of YaadhvAs to acknowledge the divinity of
KrishNa and His role as SarvEswaran. This was after 
the Lord destroyed Indhran's power by lifting Govardhana
Giri and protected the terror-stricken GopAs and Gopis
as well as the cattle of Vraja BhUmi. The humiliated 
Indhran brought the divine cow , KaamdhEnu , and performed 
AbhishEkam for the Lord Govardana GiridhAri with
KaamadhEnu's milk. Indhran fell at the feet of 
the YaadhavEndhran and saluted the Lord this way:

PithA Gurusthvam jagadhAmadhIsO 
dhurathyaya: kaala upAttha-dhaNDa: 
hithAya svEcchAtanubhi: samIhasE
mAnam vidhunvan-jagadhIsa-maaninAm
--SrImad BhAgavatham: X.27.6

Oh Lord! Thou art the father , AchAryan and 
the ruler of this world. As the Emperor of 
this world and its controller , Thou as 
the wielder of Time punish the trespassers
of Your commands swiftly for the benefit of
the world. Thou incarnates in different forms 
and engage in Your dhivya leelais to humble
those , who believe that they are the masters
of this world .

namas-Thubhyam BhagavathE PurushAya MahAthmanE
VaasudEvAya KrishNAya SaathvathAm PathayE Nama:
--SrImad BhAgavatham: X.27.9

Lord of Thirumalai is this YaadhavEndhran 
(Venkata KrishNan )who is the Omniscient One .
He is the Divine PurushOtthaman  , who has assumed 
His form on top of the Saptha Giri out of His own
will and is of Suddha Satthva svaroopam.He is
the Jagath KaaraNan and is the AntharyAmi Brahman 
for all chEthanams and achEthanams.
