SVS 226 [Surariha - 210 continued] (22.11)

Jwala ahobila malola kroda karancha bhargava |
Yogananda chatravata pavana nava moorthaya ||
We have spent almost one month visiting all sannidhis in Ahobilam, including Sri Raghava Simham at lower Ahobilam. With this we conclude our visit to Ahobilam. Six Hundred years back, Srimad Adi Van Satakopa Yatindra Maha Desika [ஸ்ரீமத் ஆதி வண் சடகோப யதீந்த்ர மஹா தேசிகன்], the First jeer got his sanyasam from the Lord Sri Narasimha, Himself.
Adimarai uruvana adipull verpadanil sodhiyana ulagellam sugam perave vandutitha adiguru narasingan arulale yogiyana adivan seer satakopan adi ani en mudi aniye.
[ஆதி மறை உருவான ஆதிப் புள் வெற்பு அதனில்
சோதி என உலகெல்லாம் சுகம் பெறவே வந்துதித்த
ஆதி குரு நரசிங்கன் அருளாலே யோகியான
ஆதி வண் சீர் சடகோபன் அடி இணை என் முடி அணியே ]
This is a Tamil pasuram on Sri Adivan Satakopa, founder of Sri Ahobila Mutt. It says that in Garudadri [Ahobilam], the Lord, being the First Acharya, blessed Sri Adivan Satakopa, the light of wisdom, to be an ascetic [sanyasi], whose divine feet decorate my head!
We now take leave of this place and start our tour of Karnataka, to visit temples there.
We will worship the Swami Adivan Satakopam standing and with Sri Malola Narasimha in his hands.
