SrI: Dear BhakthAs of MahA Lakshmi: In the 38th SlOkam , Sri Venkatadhvari Kavi states that after drinking the nectar of MahA Lakshmi's naamAs , he is not disposed to performing Yaagams and Yaj~nams anymore : DayAdhadhE yaa Tava nAmadhEyA bhidhA sudhEyam yadhi thAmm dhayEyam na VaajabhEyam KamalE yajEyam na vaa japEyam mahathOapi mantrAn (Meaning): Oh KamalA ! Oh Ocean of Mercy ! If adiyEn has the bhAgyam of drinking Your nectarine nAmAs , adiyEn need not engage either in the performance of grand Yaagams like VaajapEyam or the recitation of big mantrams to gain the same Phalan anymore . They are superfluous . ( Key words): KamalE ! Tava nAmadhEya abhidhA yadhi dhayEyam , (atha: param ), VaajapEyam na yajEyam , mahatha: mantram na japEyam . Comments: *************** 1) DhayAdadhE : She is the Ocean of Mercy . It is that DhayA of Hers which is behind the Phalans gained from the performance of MahA Yaj~nams like VaajapEyam and the recitation of MahA Mantrams. Her KaruNai grants the same phalans from the sankeertanam of Her nAmAs. 2) SudhA: Her nAmAs are present as the nectar on one's tongue . It is therefore an easy upAyam for recieving Her mahA anugrahams. 3) People perform difficult to execute Yaj~nams like VaajapEyam to recieve the phalan equivalent to drinking nectar . When one can attain the same phalan thru the easy route of recitation of Mother Lakshmi's nAmAs , there is no need for following hard routes like conducting Yaagams and theevra mantra japam over extended times. 4) Sri VenkatAdhvari Kavi is known for performing Yaj~nams like VaajapEyam , Satthram et al. His Lakshmi Bhakthi could be a direct consequence of such performances . As an accomplished anushtAthA of such big Saama Yaagams , the Kavi instructs us that one can get the same phalan and that too easily by performing nAma sankerthanam of MahA Lakshmi's nAmAs. 5) He evokes the word VaajapEyam at two places here . In the fourth Paadham , he brings it out like this: " na vaa japEyam in the fourht paadham and " na VaajapEyam "in the third paadham . 6) The sound "yamm " is heard six times in this slOkam to reveal PrAsa Pushti .
