(Meaning): Among
the mantrams used for consecration are :
ApOhishtA
mantrams recited
at the beginning of sandhyA vandhanam , PavamAna
mantrams
recited during PuNyAhavAchanam , AgamarshaNa mantrams
used during the time of
snAnam ,
AshtAkshari , Gaayathri , yEkAkshari PraNavam , Purusha Sooktham
and VyAhruthi
mantram used during prOkshaNam ( sprinkling for
pavithrIkaraNam).
Oh Mahaa Lakshmi ! Your NaamAs have the same power to
consecrate any one and
any thing . There is none who
is outside their power of consecration . Such is
the power and Vaibhavam of
Your NaamAs ! Who will fail to be purified by them ?
None !
(Comments
): Here , the poet , who is a Parama
Vaidhikar and
a performer of many
Yaj~nams states from experience that
the NaamAs of Mahaa Lakshmi are as powerful
as Mantrams from several Veda
Bhaagams :
1) PuNyAhavachana Parisuddhi mantram
: PavamAna mantram starting with " PavamAna:
suvarjana: " . This is the heart of
the PunyAhavachana rites . The sankalpam
for
PuNyAhAvachanam states clearly that
it is for ganing all types of parisuddhi :
" sareera
SuddhyarTam ,
Aathma SuddhyarTam , sarvOpakaraNa SuddhyarTam ,
Gruha SuddhyarTam Suddhi puNyAvAham vaachayishyE ".
This sankalpam clearly
points out
the PavamAna
mantram is to be recited is for purification of the site ,
body , manas
and the utensils
used in the AarAdhanam /Yaj~nam . Therefore ,
it is a consecration
mantram for
removing dhOshams from every thing .
Other than PuNyAhavachanam in the
households , the PuNyAhavachanam used at
the temples ( VaasudEva puNyAhavachanam )
reiterates Suddhi at many places .
Examples are :
SuddhayE VaasudEvasthu laangali SuddhayE
taTaa
Pradhyumna SuddhayE chAsthu AniruddhOasthu
SuddhayE (3)
ashDAthrimsA imE dEvA: SuddhayE
lOkapAvanA:
dEvyaS-SriyAdhayassanthu SuddhayE
VishNuvallabhA : (19)
SuddhayE VainatEyAasthu Pakshi raaD uraga
aasana:
SuddhayEasthu guNAdhyaksha: VishvaksEna:
prathApavAn (21)
VibhO: karishyamANasya YaagasTAnasya
SuddhayE
yOgOpakaraNAnAncha SuddhayE yaaga KarmaNAm
(27)
yEthath puNyAham uddhishDam
VishNOr-Yaagahdhi-karmasu
yEthan mantra jalairEva
prOkshaNam SuddhiruchayathE (35)
The above mantram says that sprinkling of
all the sites , vessels used in
VishNu yaagam with the waters consecrated
by the VaasudEva PuNyAhavachanam
will remove all
aSuddhi and consecrate
them for use in the Yaj~nam .
2) AapOhishtaa Mantram used at the
beginning of daily sandhyA vandhanam
and during the Mantra snAnam has the same
putificatory effect .They are for
gaining parisuddhi.
3) Similarly , MadhyAhnika prASana mantram
( Aapa: punanthu--) clearly points out
their efffect of achieving purification .
Similar are the abhlinga mantrams such as
" AapO vaa idham--) .
4) AgamarshaNa mantram : it has the words
PunAthu and punanthu often in its midst.
The usage of PunAthu indicates a prayer for
purification .
5) AshtAksharam : Its sacredness is
matchless . "PavithrANAm pavithram yO
Moola Mantra: sanAtana: " is the reference
to the purificatory power of this
ancient mantram .
6) Gayathri : When we do not recite
Gaayathri Mantram daily , one is considered
impure and unfit to do any Vaidhika karmaas
( SandhyAheena: aSuchi: ) .
7) PraNava mantram & Purusha Sooktham :
They confer special Jn~Anam on
the reciters ( ViSuddhi: paramaa mathaa
).They consecrate the mind .
8) VyAhruthi Mantrams : With PraNavam in
front , these three VyAhruthi
mantrams are uttered for all purification
purposes thru sprinkling with
water and for sarva PrAyascchittha AahUthi
in Yagams .
Therefore , these 8 Veda and Aagama BhAgams
are key for cleansing
and consecration of one's sareeram ,
upakaraNams and Yaaga BhUmi.
The poet points out Mahaa Lakshmi's
naamAs confer a similar purification
on those who recite them with devotion .The poet asks a rhetoric
question:
" tE namabhi: kO naama
Suddhim na bhajathE ? "
who indeed among the reciters
of Your nAmAs not get purified ?
The poet's answer is every
one will be purified and recieve
the anugraham of Mahaa
Lakshmi .
Let us recite some of these NaamAs of
Lakshmi for our own purification .
