SrI :
Dear BhakthAs of Periya PerumAL :
The 8 words constituting this slOkam , where Swamy
ParAsara Bhattar compares the Lord to the Vedam , are:
1. amrutha Mayam: (amrutha svaroopan , total nectar )
2. Anantham: ( limitless in every way )
3. Siddha SarvArTa Jaatham (Taking the form of all goals of life)
4. Niyamitha SakalArTam ( Direct every thing as antharyAmni Brahman )
5. niscchithAthmavabhOdham(Niscchitha+aathma+avaBhOdham):
Apprehension of the JeevAthma - ParamAthma svaroopam .
6. kimiha Bahu nirukthai: ? Where is the need for so many words ?
7. manOj~nam = Beautiful and dwelling inside .
8. ThvAm nigamamiva RangarAja adhya manyE: (we consider You now
as Vedam itself ).
Let us look how Swamy ParAsara Bhattar uses double meanings for each of
these 8 words as they apply to the Vedam and Lord RanganAtha .
1. amruthamayam : NaayantE ! You have been saluted by the AzhwArs as
" Yennarangatthin Amudar " and " yenn amudinai kaNda KaNkaL maRRoniranik-
KaaNAvE " . You are thus amrutha mayam .
Rg Veda Manthram 8.74.5 salutes the amrutha svaroopam of the Lord this way :
" amrutham jAthavEdasam tiraamAnsi darsatham , ghrutha havanameeDyam "
(meaning): " He is immortal and all knowing visible through the gloom of
darkness , worthy of praise and worshipped with invocations and affection ."
Vedam is immortal like the Lord (amruthamayam ).
2. Ananatham : Vedam has been saluted as " ananthA vai VedA: " . Limitless
indeed are the VedAs and their branches . Lord RanganathAn is limitless as
well and can not be pinned down by dEsam , Kaalam and poruL/Vasthu
( thrividha aparicchEdhyan) .
3. Siddha SarvArTa jaatham : Vedam according to the statement ,
"ChAthurvarNyam thrayO lOKA : " contains the entire meanings of the world
( VarNAsramAthaadhi SamasthArTam) . Lord RanganAtha ! As per the salutation
,
" VaasudEvOasi PoorNa: " . You are AvAptha Samastha Kaaman( there is nothing
that You do not have ) and You are also siddha SarvArTa Jaathar . You are
Sakala Phala Prathar (grantor of all Phalans) and Sarva PurushArTa roopar
( taking the form of all goals of life) and hence Siddha SarvArTa Jaathar .
4. Niyamitha SakalArTam : Vedam has vidhi ( do this ) and nishEdham ( do not
do it). It has sakala kaarya VaakyArTams . Oh RanganAtha , You control &
command every thing from inside all the Chith and achith ( Antha : Pravishta
SaasthA janAnAm SarvAthmA ) .Through Your sankalpam alone , you execute
Your niyamanams(commands) .
5. niscchithAthmaavaBhOdham : Niscchitha+ aathma + avaBhOdham is common to
both of You . Iswaran is the 25th Tatthvam ( Pancha vimsOyam Purusha:
Panchavimsa aathmA bhvathy ) .This is the Vedic apprehension ( avaBhOdham )
of Aathma-ParamAthma Svaroopam . Oh Lord RanganAtha! Through the
instrument of Your GeethOPanishad , Your Svaroopa Jn~Anam has been
revealed to us ( ThvamEva ThvAm vEtthaa yOsi sOsi ").
6. Kimiha Bhau nirukthai: ? What is the use of saying more ? Vedam is
keertanAbheeshtitham . Just on recitation , the Vedam blesses one with
the boons that they seek. It does not need any other extensive appeals . Oh
RanganAthA ! You grant all boons (sarvApEkshitham including Moksham )
through naama sankeerthanam alone in this Kali Yugam ( " Kulam tarum
selvam tanthidum " , " NediyAn tann nAmam yEtthumin kaL yEtthinAl
thAmm vENDum kaamamE kaattum kadithu ").
7. ManOj~nam : Vedam is beautiful ( yezhil Vedam ) because it reveals thru
its Poorva and Utthara bhAgams the aarAdhana roopa karmAs for You and the
Svaroopa-Roopa-GuNa-VibhUthis of Yourself . Oh RanganAthA ! You are
ManOj~nan , who understands everything from Your seat inside the heart
lotus ( SaakshthkAram of sakala abhiprAyams of the Jeevan from within ) .
8. ThvAm nigamiva RangarAja adhya manyE : Oh Lord , Here on this
Thirumanjanam day surrounded by the Veda ghOsham , You remind us of
your saamyam with the Vedaas . You are called "chathur Moorthy " and
" PiRappili " ( Birthless) . Vedams are four in Number (vasayil NaanmaRai )
and are timeless , anAdhi( Pirappili ) . Both of You are nidhi for Jn~Anis
( anthaNarkku Maadu) .
Both of You are Niradisiya BhOgyar ( matchless nectarine anubhavam to
enjoy).
