The Significance of ânArAyaNanAyaâ
---
Swami Desikan summarizes all these points in a beautiful Tamil verse:
âyAthAmivaiyanaitthum padaitthEnthum iRaiyavanumAik
kOthAm kuNangaLuDan kuRukAtha guNatthanumAi
mAthApithAvena mannuRavAik kathiyenna ninRAn
pOthAr thirvuDan ponnaruL pootthanam puNNiyanE.â
Meaning:
âpOthAr thirvuDanâ -- Along with SrI Who resides in flower;
âponnaruL pootthaâ â full of great compassion;
ânam puNNiyanâ â Our Lord Who appears to be the very personification of
our good deeds;
âpadaitthEnthum iRaiyavanumAiâ â Remains the Lord by creating and
protecting;
âyAthAmivaiyanaitthumâ â All these sentient beings and non-sentient
things
âkOthAm kuNangaLuDan kuRukAtha guNatthanumAiâ -- Having all the
auspicious qualities without a trace of any bad quality;
âmAthApithAvena mannuRavAiâ â Being a strong relative like Mother or
Father;
âkathiyenna ninRAnâ â Stands as the goal.
The Lord is known through the name, ânArayaNaâ as the One Who,
accompanied by Sri, is full of compassion; is the very personification of our
good deeds; is the Creator, the Protector and the Ruler of everything, both
sentient beings and non-sentient things; is without any trace of any of the bad
qualities but full of auspicious qualities; remains a close relative like a
mother and a father; and is the ultimate goal to be attained.
