Nyasa Tilaka says the blind man walks on being led by one who is not blind. The lame man is taken across by the boatman being placed within the boat. The children of the Kings servant enjoy the pleasures of the palace although they do not know the King. so also my acharya who is compassionate is capable of making me attain thee. O Lord of Srirangam.
The favour of Bhagavatas residence in holy places. Whether it be beast or man or bird- those who are held by bhagvatas as their own will go to the supreme abode of Vishnu for that very reason.
