SrI MahA Devi SamEtha Sri VaradarAja ParabrahmaNE nama:

Dear BhakthAs:

After the honors for Swamy  Desikan at the ThAyAr
sannidhi MahA Navami MaNTapam and recitation of SrI Sthuthi,
hAratthi takes place at Garudan Sannidhi and Four slOkams
in praise of PakshirAjan are recited by the GhOshti :

1) aryamNA dhuryayOkthra grasana bhayabhruthA 
         saanthvithOnuroopaBandhAth 
   kODaNDajyAm jigrushEdhithi chakithadhiyA
         sanktha: SamkarENa 
   talpE kalpEtha maa thE mathirithi HariNA api
         aadharENa anuneetha:
   PakshIndhras-thrAyathAm na: Phanadhara mahishI
         pathrabhangApahAri

-- Sri Garuda panchAsath: SlOkam 27

(Meaning): Here, the fear of Sooryan, Sivan and EmperumAn 
about the destruction of all the serpents due to 
His anger over them en masse. Sooryan was worried 
that the serpents serving as the nostril chain (PoottAnkayiru) 
for His seven-horsed chariot will be devoured. Therefore , 
Sooryan asked for the intercession of AruNan ,His charioter
and the brother of Garudan to intervene and save 
those serpents , which are integral entities of 
His raTam. Sivan had a major  serpent as the chord 
for His bow. Sivan was worried about any harm to His bow . 
EmperumAn was concerned about His bed , AdhisEshan.
He requested Garudan not to think about AdhisEshan 
as His food. In response to these requests from  
Sooryan , Sivan and EmperumAn , Garudan destroyed 
all other serpents and made their wives amangalis. 
May that powerful PakshirAjan protect us !

2) VaamE Vaikunta sayyA phaNipathi kaDakO
         Vaasuki brahmasoothra:
   rakshEnnastakshakENa graTitha kaDitaDs-
         cchAru KaarkODa haara:
   Padhmam karNEapasavyE praTimavathi mahA
         padhmamanyathra Bhibrath
   chooDAyAm SankhapAlam GuLikamapi bhujE
         dakshiNE Pakshimalla:

--SrI Garuda PanchAsath: SlOkam 36

(Meaning): Here , the adornment of famous 8 serpents
by Garudan as ornaments in the different parts of
His body :He wears AdhisEshan and GuLikan as two
bangles on His left and right hands respectively.
Vaasuki is worn as His sacred thread; Takshakan 
is the waist band;KaarkODan is worn as necklace;
on his right ear is seen Padhman and on the left ear 
is seen MahA Padhman as ear rings/KuNDalams;On His
Crown is seen the sarpam , SankachUDan . May this 
Garudan with the adornment of the 8 MahA sarpams 
protect us !

3) This slOkam salutes the kaimkaryam of Garudan to His Lord
during RaamAvathAram from Naaka Paasam on top of SuvEla hills
of the city of LankA:

vEgOdhvEla: suvElE kimidhamithi miTO
    manthrithO VaanarEndhrai:
maayA maanushya leelAmabhinayathi Harou
    labdha sEvA visEsha:
VaidhEhi karnapoora sthapaka surabhiNA
    Ya: samAslEshI dhOshNA 
thrushNA pAriplavAnAm Sa bhavathu GarudO
    dhukkhavaariplavO na:

-- SrI Garuda PanchAsath: SlOkam 48

(Meaning): SrIman NaarAyanan took the avathAram
of a Human Being (Son of DasaraTan) and performed
the abhinayam of one undergoing the experiences of 
joy and suffering with His own sankalpam. During 
that avathAram, He fought RaavaNA , who abducted 
His wife (SithA PirAtti) and engaged Indhrajith,
the son of RaavaNan in combat. Indhrajith used
the serpent arrows (NaagAsthram ) to tie down both
Raaman and LakshmaNan in the battle field .Recognizing
this problem caused by the NaagAsthrams , Garudan
swept down in a big hurry. The monkey chieftains on
SuvEla malai could not figure out the object moving
down with the speed of a missile and discussed among
themselves as to what that object would be . Once the
serpents binding the Lord and His brother saw 
the approaching Garudan, they took flight and 
removed their bonds. Raamachandran got us and 
embraced tightly Garudan for the timely  service 
rendered.Raamachandran's shoulders carried still.
The fragrance of the flowers worn by SithA PirAtti
in Her ears. May that Garudan embraced by the Lord 
help us engaged in pursuit of petty things by taking
the form of a Boat  across the ocean of SamsAric misery.

4) The fourth and  final slOkam used for the mangaLAsAsanam
of Garudan also comes from SrI Garuda PanchAsath and refers
to the kaimkaryam done by Garudan to the Lord during His
KrishNAvathAram:

dugdhOdhanvath prabhUtha: svakamahimA praTur-
           VishNunA KrishNanAmnA   
pincchA kalpAnukalpa: samagaDi sudhruDhO
           yathpradhishDa: kirIDa:
virO VairOchanAsthra-vranakiNa guNithO-
           dhagranirgAthaghAtha:
sanghAtham sarpagAthI Sa harathu mahathAm
           asmath adhyAhithAnAm

---SrI Garuda PanchAsath: SlOkma 49

(meaning): VirOchanan was the son of Bhaktha PrahlAdhan .
He was performing Kaimkaryam for the Lord at the Milky ocean.
Our Lord was deeply engaged in His Yoga Nidhrai. VirOchanan
had an evil thought at that time . He stole the Lord's
crown and ran off to the nether world.When the Lord woke up
and blessed the sages that visited Him , they found that
the Lord's ThiruvabhishEkam (Crown) was missing and they 
figured out that VairOchanan must have absconded with
that divine crown.They prayed to Garudan to retrieve 
the crown from  VairOchanan's secret hide out in PaathALam.
Garudan arrived quickly at the nether world and engaged 
VairOchanan in combat.Vairochanan hurt Garudan with his
arrows and the marks of those arrows added to the welts
formed from the earlier comabts of Garudan with Indhran ,
when Garudan was hit by the VajrAyudham . Garudan chased 
away VairOchanan and ascended from PaathALam and travelled
across the skies. At that time , Garudan had the darsanam of
Lord KrishNan playing with His friends as GOpAlan at 
BrundhAvanam. Garudan recognized His Lord and descended
from the skies and placed that gigantic crown of 
KshIrAbhdhi Naatan on the head of the child KrishNan 
(Baala GOpAlan). Once the big crown was placed on His
head, the Lord made the Crown fit His smaller head 
as a  child. That crown fitted exactly and became second 
to the peacock feather , which was His favorite aabharanam.
May this servant of the Lord , who presented the divine
crown and had the darsana soubhAgyam of His Lord wearing 
this crown destroy the bonds of SamsAram !

At the end of the recitation of the above four Garuda
PanchAsath , MaryAdhais for Swamy Desikan are offered .
Next the air is resonant with the auspicious sounds of 
SrI Garuda DaNDakam . At the conclusion of that recitation ,
Swamy  arrives at Lord Narasimhan's (Guhai Narasimhan's) 
sannidhi . Haaratthi for Lord Narasimhan takes place.
Eight grand slOkams saluting Lord Narasimhan ring forth.
