SrI: SrI MahA Devi SamEtha Sri VaradarAja ParabrahmaNE nama: Dear BhakthAs:After MangaLAsAsanam at ANDAL sannidhi and the recitation of GOdhA Sthuthi, Swamy Desikan arrives at VishvaksEnar sannidhi for offering His worship and thereafter, He arrives at the bottom of Hasthigiri (Malai adivAram). Haaratthi takes place at VishvaksEnar sannidhi . Three slOkams saluting VishvaksEnar (SEnai Mudali), the third in our AchArya paramparai, rings forth: 1) VandhE VaikuNta-sEnAnyam dEvam Soothravathisakham yadhvEthra sikharasphandhE visvamEtadhath vyavasthitham --- YathirAja Sapthathi: SlOkam 3 (meaning): VishvaksEnar resides in SrIvaikuntam and commands all to perform their assigned kaimkaryams to the dhivya dampathis. He is the commander in chief of the Lord's army. He has always a cane in His hand as an insignia of His authority. When he cracks that cane , the fearful world will not swerve from their assigned status and behaves accordingly. The consort of VishvaksEnar has the name of Soothravathi. adiyEn salutes that VishvaksEnar , who has the power to rule the world at the command of His Lord , Sriya: pathi. 2) asesha-vigna-samanam AnIkEswaram aasrayE SrImatha: KaruNAmbhOdhou sikshAsrOtha ivOTitham --- Daya sathakam : SlOkam 5 (meaning): adiyEn offers my salutation to VishvaksEnar , who rose out of the ocean of Lord SrInivAsan's dayA as the instrument(flowing canal) for correcting the offenders transgressing His Lord's sAsthrAs. He removes all obstacles to subha Kaaryams .( we perform VishvaksEna aarAdhanam for that reason first in Vaidhika kaaryams ). 3) SurAsurAdhisvara mouLighAthAth viseerna jAmBhunatha vEthrasrungam aalkashya santhOsham alakshyam anyai: anIkanEthAram aham prapadhyE (meaning ):adiyEn seeks the refuge of SEnai MudhaliyAr (AneekEswaran) , whose cane touches the heads of DevAs and asurAs to keep them in their assigned places. After this last MangaLAsAsanam at the foot of the Hasthigiri, Swamy Desikan rushes towards the waiting Lord VaradarAjan on top of the Hasthigiri. From here on the mangaLAsAsanams are elaborate and will take many postings to cover.
