Dayaa Devi adopted Lord who is limitless

Dayaa Devi’s Lord of ThiruvEnkatam is beyond the three limits that
other objects and beings come under and can be described as
“Sathyam, Gyanam, Anantham” and all the NithyasUris enjoy Him.
Any objects other than ParamPoruL will be affected by one of the
three limits. There are things which exist in one place but cannot exist
in other places at the same time. This is called “Desa Parichetham”.
Lord of ThiruvEnkatamutayAn is omnipresent and hence He is
beyond Desa Parisetham. Things that exist at one point in time but
do not exist at other times are under the limitation of “Kaala
Parichetham”. Lord is obviously beyond this limitation as well. Things
that exist only as that thing cannot exist as other things are under the
limitation of “Vasthu Parichetham”. Lord of ThiruvEnkatam can be in
any form at anytime and He is everything and He is in everything. An
important point to be noted here from the second line of the Shloka
is “Sathyam, GyAnam, Thribhi Avadheebhi muktham” is a beautiful
skill of Swami Desikan where he replaced Anantham with the word
Thirbhi Avadheebhi Muktham which explains that Lord is not bound
by any of the three limitations explained above.

Swami Desikan says that Dayaa Devi adopted such a limitless Lord as
her own and hence he is praying her to eternally bliss the
chEthanams to enjoy Him as all NithyasOris enjoy Him. Enjoying Lord
of Thirumala brings insatiable bliss and all other enjoyments become
worthless. Such blessed souls enjoy Him as their treasure in life.

Note: Lord of ThiruvEnkatam is beyond the following three limits-

1. Desa Parichetham – Things existing in one place does not exist
in other places

2. Kaala Parichetham – Things that exist at one point of time but
do not exist at other times.

3. Vasthu Parichetham – Things that exist in one form but do not
exist in other forms.
