Dear BhakthAs:

Salutation to the Blemishless AchArya Paramparai
*************************************************
Once again , Swamy  Desikan is overwhelmed by 
the NirapAya Desika paramparai and the SrI NadAthUr
AmmAL's celebrated KaalakshEpa ghOshti and the sacred 
pravachanams there leading up to the creation of 
Srutha PrakAsikA and other SrI Sookthis by his sishyAs.

Ten of Swamy Desikan's slOkams from his various works 
and one benedictory slOkam of NadAthUr AmmAL are recited 
here to salute the AchArya Paramparai . 

First SlOkam saluting SrI AmmAL KaalakshEpa GhOshti
****************************************************
A slOkam from SrI Sankalpa SooryOdhayam is recited now in
anticipation of the imminent visit to the sacred site ,
where the KaalakshEpa GhOshti including Swamy  Desikan's
own AchArya thrived: 

dhivi bhuvi cha nivishtAn DEsikAN dhivya bhUmna:
  praNathi niyatha vrutthi: prArTayE kanchidharTam
adhijigamishurAdhyam dhAma yushmath prabhAvAth
  priyagathiranugruhya prEkshyathAm bhruthya yEsha: 

As the one belonging to the illustrious line of AchAryans 
of resplendent glories staying in SrI Vaikuntam or here , 
Swamy Desikan prays for their anugraham as the servant
indebted to them. 

Second SlOkam saluting NadathUr AmmAL KaalakshEpa GhOshti
*********************************************************
asmath guru paramagurUn Yathivara Poornou cha Yaamunam Raamam
PadhmAksha Naatha SaThajith sEnEsa RamA RamApathIn vandhe 

The entire series of AchAryAs (AchArya paramaparai ) starting 
from AthrEya RaamAnujar (Guru of Swamy  Desikan) to the Lord 
Himself is saluted here . AchArya RaamAnujA , His AchAryan 
Periya Nampi( MahA PoorNar) , Yaamuna Muni , Raama Misrar
(MaNakkAl Nampi) , UyyakkoNDAr ( PundareekAkshar) , Naatha Muni, 
SathakOpar (Swamy NammAzhwAr ) , VishvaksEnar , Periya PirAtti 
and Her Divine Consort are saluted Here in the ascending order.

Third SlOkam saluting NadathUr AmmAL KaalkshEpa GhOshti
*********************************************************
SamsAradhva gathAgatha sramaharas sarvAvagaahya : svayam
  SrIsamlEsha samullasathganarasa: SrIsastaDAkO mahAn
nEdhishtEna mahApaTEna sugamO yEshAm prasAdhadh abhUth
  thIrTam tathra subham prakAsayathu nastEbhyO GurubhyO nama:

The analogy of relief (Srama haram)from the horrid summer heat 
( the experiences of SamsAric afflictions) by dipping deep 
in to the cool pond of AchArya anugraham is recognized here 
and salutation is made to those AchAryaas and their paramparai.

Fourth SlOkam saluting NadAthUr AmmAL  KaalakshEpa GhOshti
***********************************************************
A slOkam from SrImath Rahasya Thraya Saaram from
the Guru ParamparA chapter is recited now:

Gurubhyas Tadhgrubhyasccha namOvAkam adhImahE
vruNImahE cha tathrAdhyou DampathI JagathAm pathI

We invoke the namas sabdham for our immediate Guru
and His Gurus. Among them , we elect the SaravalOka 
SEshis , the Lord and His PirAtti both as UpAyam 
and Phalan.

Fifth SlOkam saluting NadAthUr AmmAL KaalkshEpa maNDapam
**********************************************************
yEthE mahyam apODa manmaTasarOnmATAya NaaTAdaya:
  trayyantha: prathinandanIya vividhOdhanthA: svadandhAmiha 
sraddhAtavya SaraNyadampathi dayAdhivyApagA vyApakA:
  sparthA viplava vipralambha padhavI vaidEsikA DesikA:

This slOkam is an echo of the thoughts housed in the 65th slOkam of
SrI YathirAja Sapthathi . The VyApaka AchAryAs belonging to
the sath sampradhAyam are celebrated here and contrasted 
with the aadEsa VaidEsikAs ( outside the divine directions of 
SadAcAryAs belonging to the veda Maargam) , who bring misery.

EmperumAn and His Divine Consort are the trust worthy 
SaraNya Dampathis celebrated through many charithrams 
in Veda-VedAntham.Those who spread the GangA of their 
DayA to us are AchAryAs like NaaTa Muni. These AchAryAs 
are far away from inauspicious codes of behavior such as
(1)insulting others because they are learned (2)destroying 
ancient sadAchArams (3)being decietful. In this SamsAric
world full of temptatations like lust for the other sex
induced by the arrows of ManamTA and other disturbances
arising from inappropriate desires , May the Vaibhavams 
and UpadEsams of these AchAryAs become enjoyable to adiyEn !  

Sixth SlOkam saluting NadAthUr AmmAL KaalakshEpa GhOshti
*********************************************************
HrudhyA Hrudhpadhma simhAsana rasika HayagrIva hEshOrmighOsha
kshiptha prathyarTi dhrupthir jayathi bahuguNA pankthir-asmath gurUNAm
dhik-soudhAbaddha jaithra dhvajapaDa bhavana sphAthi nirdhUtha Tatthath-
siddhAntha sthOma thUla staBaka vigamana vyaktha-sadhvarthaneekA

The glory of the illustrious AchArya paramaparai and its victories 
in establishing our siddhAntham with the blessings of the Lord
HayagrIvan sitting in the heart lotus of the AchAryAs is celebrated
in this slOkam. The auspicious sounds of the neighing (kanaippu)
of Lord HayagrIva BhagavAn as Sarva VidhyAdhikAri is saluted.
The fluttering of the victory flag of our AchAryAs over 
Para mathams is rememembered.

Seventh sLokam saluting NadAthUr AmmAL KaalakshEpa GhOshti
*********************************************************** 
Aabhagavattha: praTithAm anagAm AchArya Sathathim vandhE
manasi mama yath prasAdhAth vasathi Rahasyathrayasya sArOyam 

adiyEn salutes the AchArya Paramparai starting from BhagavAn
Himself. The essence of Rahasya Thraya Saaram resides in my 
mind due to their anugraha Balam. 

Eighth SlOkam saluting NadAthUr AmmAL KaalakshEpa mantapam
***********************************************************
Karma-BrahmAthmakE SaasthrE kouthaskutha nivarthakAn
vandhE HasthigirIsasya VeeTi sOdhaka kimkarAn

The salutations here are to the SadAchAryAs , who 
kept the highways(Veedhis) of the Lord (i-e)., Veda Maargam , 
free from any defects and blemishes (spic and span)
through their tireless AchAryaka Kaimkaryams .

Ninth SlOkam saluting NadAthUr AmmAL's KaalakshEpa mantapam
************************************************************
adhyAseena turangavakthra vilasaj-jihvAgra simhAsanAth
  AchAryAdhiha dEvathAm samadhikA manyAm na manyAmahE
yasyAsou bhajathE kadhAchidahadhbhUmA svayam bhUmikAm
  magnAnAm bhavinAm bhavArNava samuttharAya NaarAYaNa:

The great AchArya Bhakthi of Swamy Desikan is evident here.
He asserts that he will not consider any dEvathA equal to
or greater than AchAryAs. Tribute to Lord HayagrIvan 
sitting on the throne at the tip of the AchAryA's tongue and
the merciful act of PrathamAchAryan, SrIman NaarAyaNan in
uplifting those who are drowning in the bottomless Ocean of
SamsAram .

Tenth SlOkam saluting the AchArya paramparai
*********************************************
prapadanamayE vidhyAbhEdhE prathishititha chEthasa:
  prathipadamiha praj~nAdhAyam disanthu dayAghanA:
SaTharipu Suka VyAsa PrAchEthasAdhi niBhandhana
  srama pariNatha sraddhA suddhAsayA mama DesikA:

The UpakArams done by His AchAryAs and the times at 
which the AchAryAs come to rescue ( steep flight down
from the auspicous path, time of delusion about 
the vEda maargam established by the praTamAchAryan)
are listed here. With sraddha ( conviction/faith),
they (AchAryAs) perform their duties and bless us through
their AchAryakathvam bound by the doctrines established by
Swamy NammazhwAr , Suka Brahmam , VyAsa BhagavAn and 
Aadhi Kavi VaalmIki.

Eleventh slOkam saluting the NadAthUr AmmAL KaalakshEpa Mantapam
*****************************************************************
prathishtAipitha VedAntha: prathikshiptha Bahirmatha:
bhUyAs thrai vidhyamAnyasthvam bhUrikalyANa bhAjanam

This is the benedictory slOkam from NadAthUr AmmAL,
when He met the five year old VedAntha Desikan at
His KaalakshEpa Mantapam . NadAthUr AmmAL was so
taken up by the dhivya tEjas of the child and its
precocious talent that His blessings poured forth
spontaneously: " Oh Blessed Child! You will establish
the deep meanings of VedAs with pramANams! You will
destroy the arguments of the enemies of sath sampradhAyam.
The great scholars well versed in VedAs and VedAnthams
will recognize and praise your erudition with reverence.
May all MangaLams come Your way in great quantities !

Swamy  Desikan went on to become VedAnthAchAryar 
and Sarva Tantra Svatanthrar .

Salutation to Swamy  Desikan (Kattiyam) & Yehtsarikai
*****************************************************
SrImadh-Varadha-GurukrupA-lambhithOddhAma Vaibhava !
SrI VaadhihamsAmbhuvAhAdhAchAryAth aaptha Saasthra!

Oh Swamy Desika , who was the object of the KrupA of
Varadha Guru (NadAthur AmmAL) and became celebrated 
for Your Vaibhavam as a paramAchAryan ! Oh Swamy DesikA,
who acquired all SaasthrA instruction from AthrEya 
RaamAnujA (SrI VaadhihamsAmbhuvAahar), the disciple of 
NadAthUr AmmAL ! Yethsarikai Swaami Yethsarikai! 
Vijayee Bhava Vijayee Bhava Vijayee Bhava ,
Yethsarikai Swami Yethsarikai !

Now Swamy  Desikan travels to the Sannidhi of his dear
Lord VaradarAjan fro MangaLAsAsanam on his birth day of
PurattAsi Sravanam .The Lord has ben waiitng patiently 
for His dearst one to arrive all morning ! 

The archakAs hold gently the kaitthalam on which Swamy
Desikan is sitting and bring him close to the space below 
the sacred feet of the Lord . The AchAryan and the Lord 
are now united together .

adiyEn will describe the special alankAram for Lord
VaradarAjan as KaNNan ( KaNNan Karigiri mEl ninRu 
anaitthum KaakkinRAn --Swamy  Desikan) for this occasion . 

There will be a huge throng of devotees and famous AchAryAs
assembled at the Sannidhi to have the unique darsanam of
the Lord and His famous AchAryan together on this auspicious day.

The deeply moving MangaLAsAsanam with recitation of many
slOkams from Swamy Desikan's SrI Sookthis take place now .
The Garbha Gruham resonates with the MangaLa sabdham of
vedAnthAchAryan's SrI Sookthis after haratthi is performed 
for Lord VaradarAjan.
