Short Meaning according to
Dr. M.NarasimhAchAry :
********************************************************************
Oh Mother!
Both of You
are the recipients of the mental oblations .
Your greatness
is inconceivable
and it makes our hearts dance in ecstasy .
Extended Meaning #
1 according to Villivalam NaarAyaNAcchAr
Swamy :
*******************************************************************************************
Oh Mother ! During the time
of BharanyAsam ( Prapaatthi) , both Yourself
and Your Consort become
the targets for recieving the oblation (havis) of
JeevAthmA
in the homam
performed . This is so because of the homogeneous , Integrated
and unified way in which both
of You stand as One (yEka sEshithvam ) to recieve
such offerings . Our minds
dance with Joy over both of You and Your vaibhavams ,
which are beyond the
power of the Vedams to describe adequately .
Extended Meaning # 2 according to
Oppiliappan Sannidhi Sri SrIrAma DesikAcchAr Swamy
*******************************************************************************************************************
Oh Mother of the Universe ! Oh MahA Lakshmi
! In the ordinary Yaagams of the world ,
oblations ( Ghee , PurODAsam et al)
from the performer of the Yaagam are offered to
the different dEvathAs such as Agni ,
Indhran , Sooryan and others in homa roopam .
The dEvathai for whom the Havis is intended
is known as the UddhEsyan ( One who
is deemed fit to recieve such Havis) ;
That dEvathai recieves the Havis and becomes
delighted . That Havis making the dEvathai
happy is known as sEsham and
the Devathai that recieved the Havis is
described as Seshi for that Havis .
Lord accepting the Havis of Aathma
during extraordinary Yaagam of BharanyAsam
*************************************************************************************************************
Prapatthi performed by the chEtanams is
also a Yaagam . In this extraordinary Yaagam ,
aathmA is presented to the Lord (EmperumAn)
as the Havis . EmperumAn
for whom the Havis is
intended recieves that
Havis of AthmA with delight
as the Seshi for that Prapatthi
Yaj~nam .
EmperumAn becomes UddhEsyan and SEshi in
that Prapatthi Yaj~nam
just as the DevAs like Indhran et al take
on the role of UddhEsyan and
Seshi for the other kinds of Havis. These
dEvAs are subject to the influence of
KarmAs ; they acquire puNyams thru
sath-KarmAs and become dEvAs
qualified to recieve the havis intended for
them and play the role of Seshis.
The dEvAs are not by nature uddhEsyAs ;
they do not have the intrinsic
qualifications to become UdhEsyAs and be
Seshis . Their good KarmAs (upAthis)
elevate them to
their exalted status. This is true of all ordinary Yaj~nams other
than
the extraordinary Prapatthi Yaj~nam
.
In that Yaagam of Prapatthi ,
the situation relating to Havis , UddhEsyan
and the Seshi is quite different . It is a
somewhat unique situation .
The havis of AathmA does not belong to the
Jeevan . That Havis of
Jeevan in reality belongs to the Lord ; it
is His property . Due to one's
ignorance , the sentients think that the
Jeevan is truly independent
and attach themselves to the Jeevan as
their own property . The ignorant
chEtanam thinks that the Jeevan is
His , whereas it really is the property of
the Lord , which leads to the act of theft
of Lord's property ( aathma chOram) .
When the chEtanam gains true knowledge of
the Tatthvams , he recognizes
the importance of returning the Lord's
property (AathmA) to Him instead of
laying claims to it as his own . When the
chEtanam offers the AathmA as havis
to the Lord , the owner , then Lord
becomes the natural uddhEsyan . The jeevans
become His natural servants and He
becomes their intrinsic (SvabhAveeka)
Seshi or Master , who delights in the
offered havis . The Lord's glory in contrast
to the dEvAs as UddhEsyan
and Seshi is that these
roles are natural to Him.
For the dEvAs , it is not natural but
acquired through their UpAthis ( Good KarmAs).
Our Lord is totally beyond the
influence of both kinds of KarmAs ( Paapa-PuNyams)
,
where as the DevAs are Karma VasyALs
. This difference demonstrates the unique
glories of the Lord as the ParamAthmA
or Supreme Being or SarvEswaran or
Sarva Seshi .
Oh Mother MahA Lakshmi ! Your
Lord uninfluenced by the KarmAs has
yet another glory , when it comes to
His UddhEsyathvam (attribute of being
the target of the Havis of AathmA )
and Seshithvam ( enjoyment of that offered
Havis as the Master ) . He does not
stand alone in possessing this UddhEsyathvam
and Seshithvam . He becomes UddhEsyan and
Seshi only in union with You
.
In that Yaagam of Prapatthi , both of
You together become UdhEsyars and
Seshis for the Havis of AathmA . One
should not intrepret here that there are two
UddhEsyars and two Seshis for the
havis of AathmA . United , they become one
uddhEsyar and Seshi . This is
the way to understand their yEka Seshithvam
and Yeka UdhEsyathvam . This unique
vaibhavam of both of You is unlimited .
The VedAs strive to eulogize this
unique glory of You as Yeka sEshithva
dampathys and yet the VedAs do not
fully succeed in their efforts . They keep trying
to find the words to describe this unique tatthvam
adequately . When we think about
this extraordinary yEka sEshithva
yOga tatthvam , our
minds dance with Joy .
Additional
Comments on the passages of this slOkam :
***********************************************************************
(1)
Prathyak roopE Havishi
: This refers to Havis in the form of JeevAthmA
.
(2) ujjitha upAdhi gandham uddhEsyathvam : Targetted to recieve
that Havis of
AathmA without any specific
reason such as earning phalans arising from
sath KarmAs to attain the status of
UddhEsyars like Indhran , Agni et al).
Lord is outside the
influence of KarmAs and hence UddhEsythvam and
Seshithvam has no connection to
KarmAs for Him . It is natural , intrinsic . This way ,
our Lord as Para Devathai differs
from SaadhaaraNa dEvathais , who have finite
spans of life as UddhEsyars and
Seshis for the Havis offered to them .
(3) yEka sEshithva yOgam : having the same
priveleges to recieve the visEsha Havis
in Aathma Yaagam
.
(4) Pathyu: Tava cha MahimA
nigamai: nithyam anvishyamANa: The Mahimai
of
Yours and Your husband's
is being searched always by the Vedams for proper
sthOthram .
They fail and keep searching to understand the dimensions of
both of Your
glories .
(5)
Nigamai: nithyam anvishyamANA: mahimA na: mAnasam nartayan
avacchEdham na
bhjathy : The glories of both of You that is being
searched
unsuccessfully by the VedAs puts us in a state of awe and
reverence . The
fact that both of Your mahimais are unlimited and
therefore beyond
analysis makes our minds dance with great joy .
