SrI:
Dear Raama Bhakthai :
This is a slOkam recited by those who perform
RaamAyaNa ParAyaNam at the end of the day's
PaarAyaNam or 7 or 9 days PaarAyaNam of
Sundara KaaNDam .
This slOkam is sung at the end of Karnatic Music concerts
by the likes of Sangeetha Kalaanidhs Ariyakkudi RaamAnuja IyengAr
and Semmangudi SrinivAsa Iyer .It is a MangaLa slOkam to
conclude the concert .
The Meaning is :
May Lord Raamachandra , who is like the wish-granting PaarijAtha Tree
to those who seek his AasrayaNam ( protection as SaraNAgathAs) confer
always all MangaLams ( auspiciousness) !
May Sri Raamachandran , the ocean of all all KalyANa GuNams
( Abode of all auspicious attributes ) bless me with all lasting
MangaLams !
May that honey bee circling around the lotus-like (enchanting) face of
SithA PirAtti confer all mangaLams on me that last permanently !
That Lord Raama chandra is Aasritha PaarijAtham ( Divine wish-granting
kalpaka
tree) is a reassuring thought to all Raama BhakthAs . The word Aasritha is
chosen to
emphasize the fact that Srimath RaamAyaNam is SaraNAgathy Saasthram and
every
one of the KhANDams deal with Lord's Abhaya PradhAnam . Swamy Desikan has
blessed us
with a blessed work ( SrI Sookthi ) named Abhaya PradhAna Saaram to clebrate
this Aasritha PaarijAtham aspec tof Sri Raamachandra, the KaruNAmaya Moorthy
.
The salutation to the Lord , " Samastha KalyANa GuNa ambhurAsi: " is
a celebration of the Lord following the Ubhaya Linga soothram of
Sage VyAsA's Brahma Soothrams . Here the Para Brahmam is identified
as SavisEsha Brahman ( abode of all KalyANa guNams and free from
any hEya guNams ( inauspicious guNams) . Ambhu means water and
ambhurAsi refers to the vast Ocean ( of Samastha KalyANa guNams) .
The praNAmams : " SeethA mukha ambhurOha sanchareeka: " refers to the Lord
circling around like a honey bee around the blossomed lotus flower of SeethA
PirAtti's face . This is a poetic expression to recognize the divine
beauty( dhivya
soundharyam ) of SeethA PirAtti and the athyantha ( profound) prEmai that
the Lord has for His Devi .
