sambhandham with their Lord’s dhivya ThirumEni (nija kAnthi hEthO:
bhUshAyudhai: tE vapu: adhigatham). Your dhivya ThirumEni with its attendant
weapons and jewelery is the object of single-minded enjoyment by Your dear
consorts and they do not even wink for fear of missing the anubhavam of Your
dhivya soundharyam (PriyAbhi: tE Vapu: animEsha- vilOchanAbhi: bhuktham).

The First of the PoorvAchAryAs, who composed sthOthram of the Lord in the
form of exquisite poetry, is Swamy AlavanthAr (SthOthra Rathnam). KurEsar
followed the footsteps of Swamy AlavanthAr and blessed us with five brilliant
sthOthrams known for their poetic skills and depth of devotion.
Swamy Desikan was immensely influenced by the poetic devotional works of his
PoorvAchAryAs and with the anugraham of Lord Hayagreevan composed many
sthOthra granthams. One can hear the echo of KurEsar’s slOkams in Swamy
Desikan’s devotional poetry.
The enjoyment of Lord VaradarAjan’s Dhivya soundharyam (limb by limb) by
KurEsar in His SrI VaradarAja Sthavam (SlOkams 22-24) and its echoes are
seen in this fourteenth slOkam:

karNapAsa-parikarmasadamsam |
aayaathAksham abhijAtha kapOlam
paaraneeyathiVarapradha! dhrungmE ||
-- SlOkam 22, SrI VaradarAja Sthavam
Here Kuresar points out that His mind set is like that of those, who undertake
upavAsam and look forward at the end of that upavAsam to their PaaraNais
