Shloka 38

Dayaa Devi the boat to transport us to Lord of ThiruvEnkatam

Swami Desikan describes a journey in this ocean beautifully. The
ocean is the ocean of SamsArA. The passengers are chEthanams like
us. Dayaa Devi is the boat. This boat is tied strongly with GunAs of
Lord which act as ropes. Our AcharyAs are the captains for this boat.
The shore to go towards is Thirumalai. Such is the message this Shloka
conveys. Here the qualifying people to get on board are those who
are caught in samsArams and commit sins here and there and suffer.
