Dear BhakthAs of Sri Lakshmi
Nrusimhan :
Today , we wil focus on two
more Lakshmi Sahasra SlOkams
that celebrate Her Naama
Vaibhavam .
May the power of those
Naamams shower Kanaka DhArA
for Srimath Azhagiya Singar's
Thirunakshathra Uthsavam !
Power of SrI Naamam : Ishta
Kaamya Siddhi granting Names

Special
Observations
****************************
(1) Oh DEvi ! For any one ,
who utters even one of Your Names
( Ya: Thvadheeyam padham yEkam api vakthi)
, all words/speech
will always manifest themselves in his mind
( Tasya hrudhi sarvANi
padhAni sadhaa bhAnthy).
(2) When all these right words
appear on a cue thru the
utterance of
even one of Your limitless
names , then the utterer has the
power
to become an Aasu kavi
( a poet , who composes poems
instantaneously) .
Once one masters
the recitation of even one of
Your sacred names ,
all speech (Vaak )
will come under his power
(aadheenam) .
(3) For power over words , for mastery as a
speaker or efficacy as
an illustrious kavi , SrI Naamams
will empower one .When SrI Naamams
are mastered , then every other word
will respond with alacrity and fall
in line , one after the other
.
(4) Padham means Naamam ( soll ) . Padham
also means Padhavi or position
( sTAnam) . In the latter intrepretaion ,
Brahma Padham , Indhra Padham
or even Parama Padham will come the way of
One , who recites even
one name of SrI Devi
.
(5) The poet gives an example to show
how that disproportionate reward
happens :
" NithyOnnatha: Nrupathi: yEva vaSeekrutha:
chEth , purajanA: kimkurvathE
ithi ka: prayathna? " . Here , the poet
asks a rhetorical question , which has its
own answer . There is a king , who has
always an exalted status ( NithyOnnatha:
Nrupathi asthi) . When one gets that
exalted king himself under one's control ,
the citizens of that king become
automatically one's vidhEyars / servants .
"NrupathrEva vaSeekrutha: chEth , PurajanA:
( Citizens) kimkurvathe (serve)
ithi ka: prayathna:(Special effort ) ? When the Master (King)
is under one's control ,
why worry about taking any special effort
to make the citizens obey one ?
No prayathnam (effort) is needed then
. PurajanAms will follow the lead of
the Nrupathi .
Similarly the Mastery of one of
the names of the SarvalOkEswari
will bring under one's influence all the other servants of Hers
.
The NaamAs of MahA Lakshmi
ripening one's good fortunes
******************************************************************************
In this slOkam , VenkatAdhri
Kavi states that the utterance of Lakshmi's
NaamAs result in the perfection of one's
bhAgyams :
KshamA-nidhE !
yamyadhipa-abhidhEyam
vachO-vidhEyam Tava
NaamdhEyam
PadmAlayE Yasya guNOdhadhEyam
pachELimam vindhathi
bhAgadhEyam
Special Comments
:
**************************
A. In this beautiful slOkam ,
the word dhEyam is woven in six times
either as a self-standing word or as a sandhi :
(1) NaamadhEyam = Name or Peyar in Tamil
(2) bhAgadhEyam = Good Fortune or adhrushtam
(3) (VachO) VidhEyam = One who has Your name as Mukhastham
or has one of Your name under the
influence of his speech
(4)( Yami-adhipa) abhidhEyam = fit for the king of SanyAsis to
utter
(5) GuNaO-dhadhEyam = this Ocean of KalyANa
guNams
(6) KshamAnidhE-yami can
be split in to Kshamaa nidhEyam
B. The Musical effect of
reciting this slOkam is beautiful as in the case of
one
of the VairAgya Panchaka slOkams , where Swamy Desikan uses
the
word " dhanam " melliflously many times in the same slOkam .
C. In this slOkam , the
Kavi addresses MahA Lakshmi as " KashamA NidhE "
and
"GuNOdhadhE " . She is the treasure (nidhi) of Kshamaa (
Forbearance).
She
is also (kalyANa) GuNOdhadhi ( Ocean of GuNams) .
D. She is saluted as well as
" PadhmAlayE " ( One who has Her abode in the Lotus).
E. Kavi points out that Her
auspicious names are appropriate / fit for utterances
by
the
highest among the Yathis ( Yami adhipa abhidhEyam Tava nAmadhEyam)
.
F. Kavi reveals that for one
who has Her NaamadhEyam under the control of
his tongue (Yasya vachOvidhEyam ) gains the ripe (PachELimam) good
fortunes
(BhAgadhEyam ) of every kind ( ayam pachELimam bhAgadhEyam
vindhathi).
G. Such is the power of
Japam of MahA Lakshmi's NaamAs !
H. Yami adhibha or the
Leader among the Yathis can refer to Maharishi
SanathkumArar
or Swamy AlavanthAr or YathirAjar
(Udayavar) . Swamy AlavanthAr was the first
among AchAryAs , who
composed ChathusslOki , the poem celebrating the power
of
Lakshmi's NaamAs . YathirAjar performed
SrI DEvi SaraNAgathy in His Gadhyam
by addressing Her as " Akhila
JaganmAtharam , asman Maatharam , Bhagavathy
et al .
J. PachELimam: Our
PuNyams reach a ParibhAga nilai ( ripened state)
/pachELima
state ,
when we utter the sacred names of MahA Lakshmi and blesses us
with
all kinds
of good fortunes ( BhAgadhEyams).
