SrI:

Dear BhakthAs of MahA Lakshmi:

In the 28th slOkam focusing on the Naama Vaibhavam of
MahA Lkashmi , the poet states that the dhivya nAmAs 
of the Divine consort of the Lord are the most delectable
among all sweet experiences :

Tava dhivya nAmAni madhurE nirAkrutha
vyasanE  sTitEapi rasanEndhriam mama
ramathE RamE kaTamahO rasanAntharEshu
aTavaa tadhasya ghaDathE jaDAthmana:

(Meaning) : Oh Ramaa Devi ! Your divine nAmAs are delectable
to recite ( Madhuram MadhurAksharam) . Your sacred nAmAs have
the power to destroy all sorrows and troubles( nirAkrutha-vyasanE).
While that is so ( ithi sTithEapi) , my sense organ dedicated to 
experience taste (rasEndhriyam) runs after other ignoble sweet 
tastes . adiyEn finds it very difficult to understand this strange 
behavior of my tongue chasing other "sweet " tastes ( mama 
rasanEndhriyam kaTam rasanAntharEshu ramathE ? ). Alas (ahO) !
For this ignoramus , this kind of deluded behavior is perhaps 
appropriate ( aTavaa asya jaDAthmana: tath ghaDathE ). 

I am at a loss to understand this odd behavior of my tongue. 
Knowing fully well that there is nothing sweeter than Your
dhivya nAmaas , my toungue has a fascination for alpa 
pathArthams , which can never ever come close to the depth
of the sweetness of Your sacred names . ahO dhurbhAgyam ! 
I must indeed be a fool to engage in such endeavours to let
my tongue chase all these insignificant " sweets " instead of 
enjoying the greatest of all sweets , the taste of Your nAmAs.

One has to conclude that the person , who prefers an ordinary thing 
over an extraordinary thing has to be a fool

One can only conclude that the perosn who prefers a bitter thing 
over a sweet thing has to be an uninformed fool.

One can only conclude that the person who chases after pain-causing
experiences over those which comfort and delight  has to be a fool .

Your dhivya nAmAs are an integrated essence of three tathtvams:
Madhuram ( sweet to experience ) , banisher of sorrow & suffering 
and sacred . There is no other entity that has all these three in one.
For instance, Paarijatha flower is divine but is not delightful to taste.
The rock candy  is sweet to taste but does not chase away the sorrows.
The curative medicine ( oushadham) is nither sacred nor delectable.
MahA Lakshmi ! Only Your dhivya nAmAs are delectable  , sacred and 
sorrow removing .
