Notes The origins of this translation It is well known that Lord Ve nkat tham and cane down to the holy Thiru. esvara grew disgusted with Vaikun .. pathi Hills in Bharata Vars a . Later, out his innite kindness towards those who left Bharata Vars . . a for various reasons, he came to America to reside in many cities. Poets have described these tours. Of the many such cities, He very much liked the city which is at the conuence of three rivers (Monongahela, Allegheny and Ohio). This city is Pittsburgh, PA. In that city, lives a devotee of Maha Periavaa called Ravi Venkatraman. Through mutual friends, he approached me for a translation of Maha Periavaas namavali. While some of the namavalis were simple to translate, there were many that need more preparation, knowledge and insight. (We can all agree that the meanings of the namavalis are absolutely beautiful and divine - we cannot but be transported to a higher level after reading them.) I began inquiring about the author of this namavali. I learned that Shri S. V. Radhakrishna Shastrigal (SVR) of Srirangam who is close to Kanchi Matam would be able to help me. It was my good luck that I was able to get Shri SVRs phone number during my visit to Madras in December 2002. Luckily, Shri SVR was coming to Madras itself for a short visit. I was given a narrow window of 2 hours to meet with him, right in the middle of a conference I was attending. Without any hesitation, I deserted the conference, and I ran to meet Shri SVR. The two hour window grew to four hours. He cleared all my doubts and gave clear translations to the ones I could not get. In fact, I phoned him a couple of times to get more clarications later, with the help of his nephew Madanagopal and grand daughter Lakshmi. I also sought clarication with S. Yegnasubramanian on Kundalini seats. I heard the following from Shri SVR concerning the author of this namavali. One time, the late Sri P. H. Subrahmanya Shastri, Principal of Sanskrit College, invited the Paramacharya for padapuja at Madras. In return, the Paramacharya asked him himself to compose a new namavali for that purpose. Highly honoured by this request, Sri P. H. Subrahmanya Shastri undertook that task and composed this beautiful namavali. That was some 30 years ago. This is the origin of this namavali. Namavali no. 24 was defective in all versions available to me (It contained only 15 syllables). Shri SVR suggested a correction, which I modied a little with his concurrence. Without the blessings of all the Sri Periavaas, such eorts will not bear fruit. I place this at Their feet for their blessings. All errors here are due only to me. Please point them out to me and I will correct them. .......J. Sethuraman Shrii Chandrashekharendra Saraswathi followed the 67th Ponti Shankaracharya, Shri Mahadevdevendra Saraswathi, as the 68th Ponti Shankaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam.

The six seats of kun ul adh aram, sv adhis t anam, man urakam, an ahatam, visuddhi and .d . alini, namely m .. . ip j a n a, are well known in the standard and yogic literature. For instance, see Lalit a Sahasran amam 98108. An accomplished and dedicated yogi is able to raise the kun d alini s akti through these six seats along the sus .. . umn .a n adi which is between two other n adis called id a and pi n gal a . . astra, there is mention of more In the commentary svacchandasa ngrha on yogic texts like Pata njali Yoga S yogic mental states:

This talks of two Shiva seats (thousand petaled lotus seats) called kula and akula, one, below and the other, above the six seats of kun adi. The akula seat is .d . alini, which also are to be experienced along the sus . umn . a n also identied with the brahmarandra p tham, which may be equated to the sahasradalapadma p t . ham described a Sahasran amam. in shlokas 109-110 1 2 of Lalit Still more commentaries talk of more yogic seats between aj n a and akula = brahmarandhra. In one set of commentaries the following names are given (1) ardharandhra, (2) n ada, (3) n ad anta and (4) sakti. This makes brahmarandhra the 12th seat. In other commentaries, the yogic seats between aj n a and akula = brahmarandhra are listed as (1) ardharandhra, (2) rodhini, (3) n ada, (4) n ad anta, (5) sakti, (6) vy apik a, (7) saman a and (8) unmani. This makes brahmarandhra the 16th seat. The kula and akula seats are called siva seats and the others are called sakti seats. (This is my understanding gleamed from conversations with Shri S. V. Radhakrishna Shastrigal. All errors in this discussion are due only to me.)
