 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 !

SrI MahA Lakshmi ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam ,
