204. OM SANDHIMATE NAMA: ॐ सन्धिमते नम:
Ensures the devotee's devotion never disappears.
Yesterday was Thirumangai Alwar Thirunakshtram [birth day]. Today [12th December 2008] is Thiruppanalwar Thirunakshatram [Karthigai - Rohini]. He praised the Lord Sri Ranganatha, from His Divine feet to His head or Crown, in Amalanadhipiran [அமலனாதிபிரான்]. He says the Lord's eyes should be seen when He is Sri Narasimha, killing Hiranyakasipu. Sandhita means the Lord never lets down His devotees. This Divine name is dedicated to Sri Malola Narasimha, Who out of mercy had decided to remain in Garudadri in Ahobilam. There is one speciality of Sri Malola Narasimha. Normally, the Lord is seen embracing Sri Maha Lakshmi, seated on His lap. But here, in addition, Sri Maha Lakshmi also embraces the Lord and so Swami Mukkur Azhagiyasingar, composing the invocation sloka for Sri Ahobila Mutt followers, says 'lakshmya sama alingatha vama bagam ' [लक्ष्म्या सम आलिन्गत वाम भागम]. Commentators say 'itthalayil soulabhyam, atthalayile vaallabhyam' [இத்தலையில் ஸௌலப்யம், அத்தலையிலே வால்லப்யம்]. That is She shows mercy on devotees. in spite of their numerous papa, and orders the Lord to save them. Malola indicates the Lord is very dear to Her.
