218. OM VACHASPATAYE NAMA: ॐ वाचस्पतये
By delivering Vedas, attained fame as great preacher.
Swami Sankaracharya had commented taking vachaspati udaradi as a single Divine name. But Swami Parasara Bhatta has counted these as two Divine names. Vachaspati means God of speech or knowledge. We are at Srirangapatna, which is also like Srirangam, amidst Kaveri's two branches. The Lord here also is Sri Ranganatha. Temple is rich in sculptures.

The Lord has blessed lord Brahma and Saraswati with knowledge. Swan will never take to ponds, visited by crows, even if they were pure otherwise. Likewise, scholars never appreciate the words of persons if they have used the speech for praising other than the Lord, even if they were well learned.
On 25th January 2009, in Chettipunyam on the road to Chengalpet, one day Laksharchanai is being performed for the benefit of students appearing for ensuing examinations. All are welcome.
