dhAmnA dhruSyEya rAjeeva dhAmnA tEna dayALunA
AamnAnam jAthuchith yasya nAmnAm Jn~Anair yunakthy na:
(Meaning): The splenderous lustre (tEjas) of MahA Lakshmi is recognized
as being rooted in the lotus flower. That tEjas has all soubhAgyams to bless
us.The very mention of Her many nAmAs even occasionally will bless us with
Jn~Anam ( Superior knowledge about the three tatthvams). May the glances
of this embodiment of Dayaa fall on adiyEn !
The superior power of Lakshmi Naama sankeerthanam (nAmnAm AamnAnam)
is referred to here . That sankeerthanam need not be done every day . Even
occasional recitation (Jaathuchith/kadhAchith) ) of Her nAmAs will confer
the extraordinary boon of uniting us with blemish-free Jn~Anam ( nAmnAm
AamnAnam na: Jn~Anai: yunakthy).
She is the embodiment of Dayaa ( DayALu). Her lustre (dhAmnA) has its
home in the auspicious lotus flower ( rAjeevadhAmnA dhAmnA ). May adiyEn
be the object of the mangaLa dhrushti of that lustre ( tEna dhAmnA dhrusyEya).
MahA Lakshmi is identified with tEjas based on the SrI Sooktha salutations as
" Jwalantheem " , "ChandrAm " and "SooryAm ". She is JyOthirmayee ",
JyOthi SvarUpiNi.
The sukhAnubhavam of the usage of similar sounding words that lilt is
adhbhutham : yasya dhAmnA Raajeeva dhAmnA dhAmnA dhruSyEya ! ".
Our ThAyAr is ParamdhAmavathi , Raajeeva lOchanai , PuNDareeka valli
and aravindha dalAyathAkshi . The power of Her MangaLa dhrushti has been
celebrated by Swamy Desikan elaboratlely . Sankeerthnam of Her dhivya NaamAs
will
give us many kinds of boons , the chief among them is the acquisition of
Sadh Jn~Anam . Parama Bhakthi about Her sacred feet is the end result ,
which propells us to Moksha sukham .
The boon granting power of Her nAmAs is such that they even an occasional
recitation is sure to confer the supreme boons on the reciter. Such is Her
oudhAryam
and Dayaa Svaroopam celebrared by Swamy Desikan in His Dayaa Sathakam .
The poet prays here for the dhivya KaDAkshams of the MahA PrabhAvasAli ,
SriKoMaLavalli ThAyAr , who rsored his eye sight with her JyOthirmaya
KadAksha veekshaNyam .
DaasOham ,
V.Sadagopan
