Dear BhakthAs of Lord DevanAthan :

Today , we will study the Fourth Paasuram ,
where Swamy Desikan enjoys the dhivyAthma and
dhivya MangaLa Svaropams of Lord DhaivanAyakan
seated with His dear consort , MahA Lakshmi at
Thiruvaheendhrapuram .

The Fourth is a long paasuram having 36 lines set in
the Tamil metre of NilaimaNDila AasiriyappA .
We will study them one section at a time chosen by
self-contained messages .

Section 1( First 4 Lines ) :
***************************
" Mazhayil yezhuntha mokkuL pOl
vyaam azhiya onRu azhiyA Adiyavar Meyya !

aru maRayin poruL aaynthu yedukkum kaal
Thiruvudan amarntha DhaivanAyaka nee ! "

Oh Lord of all gods ! Oh DhaivanAyakA ! When one
evaluates the essence of the message of the precious
Vedas , the greatness of Your Vaibhavam as Sriman NaarAyaNan
( One who is never seperated from His divine consort )
becomes crystal clear . The quintessence of the Vedic message
is that You are the eternal One even at the time of MahA PraLayam ,
when all worlds disappear like the transient bubbles formed from
the downpour of heavy rain into a puddle .Even if the impermanent
prapancham(world) is desstroyed during the time of PraLayam ,
You alone shine permanetly with no dimunition to Your Svaroopam ,
Roopam and GuNam. When one analyses all Veda , VedAntham ,
it becomes clear that You stand as the Supreme principle
( Para Tatthvam) as Sriya: Pathi ( The Lord of MahA Lakshmi).

Context for these lines
**************************
ChetlUr Swamy has pointed out that the above four lines
stand in for the first two adhyAyams of Brahma Soothram
( essence of Poorva dhvikam ). The two lines at the very end of
the Paasuram ( KoNDida Yemmai adaikkalam ulahil kaNDilam
gathi Unai anRi maRRonRum ) summarize the third and
the fourth chapters of Brahma Soothram(Uttara dhvikam) .

The very last two lines of this Paasuram ( palvahai ninRa
ninn paDi anaitthinum tholvahai kAttum tuNinthu thU maRayE )
according to ChEtlUr Swamy , this is the essence of SaarIraka
Saasthram , where the chEthanams and achEthanams are
reconized as the prAkArams of the Lord as ascertained by
the Vedam . Thus the complete meaning of SaarIraka Saasthrams
is enshrined in this fourth paasuram through the genius of Swamy
Desikan with a few choice words .

Section2 ( Lines 5-10):
***********************
Ninn Thirutthanakkum Nee ThiruvAhi
indhu tann nilavudan ilangu tanmainai

nanthuthal illA nall viLakkAhi
anthamil amudha aazhiyAi niRRi

PaaRkkadal tannil pann maNi anna
seer gaNam sErntha seelam yellai ilai

Oh Dhaiva Naayaka! You shine with Your divine
consort inseperably like the Moon with its rays
and enhances the Vaibhavam of PirAtti , who
magnifies Your glories as Her Lord . Oh Lord of
Thiru Ayindhai ! You exist as the insatiable ocean
of nectar for those , who sought Your refuge . You
shine as inextinguishable rathna dheepam and
bless the devotees with the wealth of true Jn~Anam .
Just as the milky ocean houses many kinds of gems ,
You house the assembly of Your limitless auspicious
guNams integrated into the limitless MahA guNam of
Souseelyam ( mingling with even the lowly ones).

Commenting on the passage (lines 7-8) , "nanthualillA
nall viLakkAhi , anthamil amudha aazhiyAi niRRi " ,
Chetlur Swamy identifies " nanthutalilla" with Sathyathvam,
"nall " with amalathvam , " ViLakkAhi" with Jn~Anathvam ,
" anthamil " with ananthathvam , " amudha aazhiyAi " with
Aanandhathvam . Thus , the five Svaroopa nirUpaka dharmams
associated with the Lord's inherent nature are hinted in
the lines 7-8. Next , Swamy Desikan goes on to describe
nirUpitha svarUpa visEshaNams of the Lord of Ayindhai.
