Respected Sri. Sadagopan Swamy,  I try to read the postings but never
write.  To day you have asked the readers to identify some slokams that
are recited in Hasthigiri as part of the purattasi Sravanam uthsavam.
It is a great pleasure to read and think about these slokams.  They are
the third and fourth slokams of Sri. Nyasa Thilakam.  What joy to think
of the great acharya first doing saranaagati at the lotus feet of our
mother who happens to be the Jaganmaatha also, taking her kind advice to
heart.  The next slokam so beautifully shows how Piratti  because of her
vathsalyam and vaallabyam makes the inaccessible lord(inaccessible due
to our misdeeds)  easily available to us (purushakaaram) and then again
as nithyaanapaayini is ever upayam and upeyam for our total surrender.
Sri. Ranganayaki seems to be doing more than the Lord who is upayam and
upeyam while thayar is purushakaram which probably is most important,but
for this role of piratti there would be no chance of approaching the
lord for very grave sinners, upaayam and upeyam equally with Him.
  
There is one more slokam that you would like to be identified.  I do not
know the source.  I am eagerly looking forward to learn that.

Thank you so very much for your postings.  They are great sources of joy
and knowledge.  Kindly pardon the mistakes I might have made
