HER MANY AUSPICIOUS NAMES :
CREATRIX
************************************************************
She is Loka Maatha (Visva
Jananee) , who is the creatrix of the ChEtanams
and achEtanams of the world
.She is also the Mother of the VedAs since She is
recognized as releasing the
VedAs from BhagavAn during the time of Creation .
This relationship between the
dhivya dampathis is summarized by Sri VishNu
PurANam at many places . One
such passage reveals : " BhOdhO VishNupriyam
Buddhi: " . That illumines
Tattvam and Vasthus is "BhOdham " according to
Sridhareeyam . Buddhi is
the power to clarify that Tattvam or Vasthu and its
Svaroopam .
HER MANY AUSPICIOUS NAMES :
ISWARYAVATHY
******************************************************************
She is HiraNmayee . She is
abundant with Gold and all other kinds of
wealth . Under Her sacred
feet are the two kinds of Iswaryam known as
Sangha Nidhi and Padhma Nidhi
that flow forever . She is the abhimAni dEvathai
for Iswaryam . She is
DhArithrya Naasini ( one who destroys all kinds of
poverty through mantra japam

Swamy
AlavanthAr's dismay
************************************
As Swamy
AlavanthAr starts his eulogy of Sri Devi through his ChathusslOki
,
he is so
overcome in grappling with the myriad auspicious guNams of Sri
Devi
that he
is about to give up and asks a rhetoric question : Oh DEvi with the name
of
SrI ! who
indeed can venture to describe Your Vaibhavam adequately (
SrIrithyEva
cha nAma
tE Bhagavathy , BhrUma: kaTam ThvAm vayam ? ) . Here Swamy
AlavanthAr
salutes
Her Parathvam (Supermacy) .
In the
next slOkam , Swamy Alavanthar reveals that even Her own husband
,
Sriman
Narayanan does not know the full magnitude of Her glories ( Thvadh
VallabhOapi
Prabhu:
naalam mAthum iyatthayA ) . LokaikEswari! dhAnthE ! ( Oh Empress
of
the
Universe and KaruNA Moorthy ) ! adiyEn is an ignoramus and
yet ventures
to salute
fearlessly Your vaibhavams by using my rights
as Your Prapannan
( ThAmm
ThvAm dhAsa ithi Prapanna ithi cha sthOshyAmyaham nirbhayO )
.
Swamy
Desikan drew up his pramANams from all these
PoorvAchArya
SrI
Sookthis and SrI Sooktham and composed
spontaneously
the SrI
Sthuthi to help a poor BrahmachAri acquire dhanam to
get
married .
All of this happened right in front of Perum Devi
ThAyAr
at Her
sannidhi at Kaanchipuram some 700 years ago .
We will take up next the
first SlOkam of Swamy Desikan's Sri Sthuthi .
