Today Aippasi Pooradam: Thirunakshatram Of Sri Vishwaksenar

Today, November 5th 2016, Aippasi Pooradam is the Thirunakshatram of Sri Vishwaksenar. The  Slokas relating to Vishwaksena are as follows:

Vandhe Vaikunta Senaanyam Devam Sootravthee Sakham |
Yad Vetra Sikhara Spandhe Viswam Yetad Vyavasthitham ||

(meaning) Next Acharya is Vishwaksena also known as Senai Mudaliar. Staying in Vaikunta, he directs, controls and supervises the duties of all. He is the Commander-in-Chief of the Lord. He wields a whip in his hand. The entire Prapancha functions in the constant fear of the whip-end striking them, if they err. His wife is Sootravathi. He rules over the entire world by his command. I next bow to this Vishwaksena.

Yasya Dvurita Vaktraadhyaa Parishadhyaah Parah Satham |
Vignam Nignanthi Sathatham Vishwaksenam Upaasmahe ||

I worship the one by whose quick commands function the entire Universe right from the Nityasuris downwards, the one who always removes obstacles and impediments (in performing ones duties) – I bow to such a one – Vishwaksena.

இவருக்கு வாஸஸ்தானம் ஸ்ரீவைகுண்டம். இவர் ஆழ்வார் திருநகரிக்கு எழுந்தருளி நம்மாழ்வாருக்கு யோகதசையில் ஸேவை ஸாதித்து மந்தர மந்திரார்த்தங்களை உபதேசித்தார். இவர் அருளிய க்ரந்தம் விஷ்வக்ஸேநஸம்ஹிதை. இவர் திருநக்ஷத்திரம் ஐப்பசி பூராடம்.
