SlOkam 9: The Supreme Nature of both SrI DEvi and Her Lord
****************************************************************
ThvAmEvaahu: kathichidhaparE Thvathpriyam lOkanATam
kim thairantha: kalahamalinai: kimchidhuttheerya magnai:
Thvath-sampreethyai viharathy Harou sammukheenAm srutheenAm
bhAvaarUDou Bhagavathi YuvAm Dampathee dhaivatham na:
(Meaning ): Oh the Divine Consort of BhagavAn ( Oh Bhagavathee ) !
Some say that You alone are the Mistress of the Universe
( Kathichith ThvAmEva aahu: ); Others are of the opinion
that Your dear Lord as the Master of this Universe (aparE Thvath
Priyam yEva lOka nATam aahu: ). These two groups dispute with
each other about the Supermacy of one of You over the other .
There is not much to be gained to sort them out ( Thai: kim?).
They themselves get exhausted with their heated arguments
and drown in their own disputations ( antha: kalaha malinai:
kimchith uttheerya magnai: ) These disputes are not at all
necessary. They should know that both of You together as
dhivya dampathis are our ParadEvathais ( Dampathee yuvAm
na: Dhaivatham). This is the essence of VedAs ( SrutheenAm
BhAva aaarUdou ) . These VedAs speak with equal reverence
about You both. In some Vaidhika karmAs , two dEvathAs
are united as One and the Havis is offered to that united
dEvathA . In a similar manner , during the Yaj~nam of
Aathma SamarpaNam , both of You have to be the goal
of aathma samarpaNam for success in realizing Prapatthi.
The intent is to perform eternal kaimkaryam to You BOTH
at SrI Vaikuntam . Together , You shine as the means (UpAyam)
and the fruit ( Phalan ) of one's self-surrender.
SlOkam 10: The Unanimity of thought among the dhivya Dampathis
***********************************************************************
ApannArthi Prasamanavidhou Bhaddha-dheekshasya VIshNO:
aachakyus-ThvAm priyasahachareem-iykamadhyOpapannAm
prAthurbhAvairapi samatanu: prAdhvamanveeyasE THvam
dhUrOthkshipthairiva madhurathA dhugdharaasEstatangai :
(Meaning): The VedAs declare that You are the indispensable
and most merciful , eternal companion of Your Lord , who has taken
the vow to destroy the sufferings of those , who sought His refuge
( aapanna aarti prasamana vidhou Bhaddha dheeksha:
VishNu: ; tadh VishNO: iykamdhya upapannAm priya--sahachareem
ThvAm VedA: aachakyu:) . Your Lord will not be able to complete
HIs vow , if You are not there to participate with Him
as SahadharmachAriNi . You follow Your Lord hecne in all His
avathArams in appropriate forms (SithA in RaamAvathAram ,
RukmiNI in KrishNAvathAram et al).He is never without You.
Just as the sweetness of the waves of the Milky Ocean
is associated inseperably with the waves independent of
the distance they travel to reach the shores , You are united
inseperably with Your Lord during His various avathArams
by taking appropriate forms as He descends from the far off
Sri Vaikuntam to this earth . Unique indeed is the convergence
of thoughts between You as the Divine Couple !
