Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,
We are studying the naama "vaarijaa sana aadhi vandhitha paadhaaya nama:" and "Sanakaadhi yOgi brundha vandhya paadhAya nama:' together. That krithi first wherein this 'sanakaadhi â naama' appears, for this again is a rarely heard krithi in katchery platforms.
nenaruncharaa naapaini â raagam simhavaahini
simha vaahinee is durgaa or paarvathee.
Pallavi
nenaruncharaa naapaini chaala
nee dhaasuDanu kaadhaa sree raama
Anupallavi
sanakaadhi yOgi brindha vandhya paadha
saakEtha vaasa sadh-bhaktha pOsha (nenaru)
CharaNam
thalli thaNDri guru dhaivamu neevani
tharuchugaanu ninnu nammiyunna nE
thallaDilluchuNDa dhari joopavEmi
thyaagaraaja paripaala suguNa seela (nenaru)
meaning: [summarized] O Lord sree raama! O Lord, you, whose feet are worshipped by the multitudes of sages or ascetics like sanaka sananthana and others, O Lord, residing at ayOdhyaa! O Nourisher of true devotees! O Nourisher of this thyaagaraaja! O Lord, you who is naturally virtuous! Please show kindness towards me in full measure; am I not Your servant? While I, who has believed You so much that You are my mother, father, preceptor and God, am perplexed, why don't You give me refuge?
As a sidelight, in the list of 'manOhari' in raagams in post 1 [containing 8 nos] this "Bhudha manohari" is to be added - another raagam having 'manohari' as part name, which makes total number now as 9. learned bhagavathas are welcome to add more to this total.
Now to get the reference for sanaka aadhi rishis were worshipping the lord - in sreemadh bhaagavatham, skandham 3, chapter 8, slOkam 3 reads
SlOkam 3
aaseenam urvyaam bhagavantham aadhyam sankarshanam dhEvam akunTha saththvam |
vivithsavas thaththvam athah parasya kumara-mukhyaa munayO~anvapruchchhan ||
meaning: Some time ago, being inquisitive to know, Sanath-kumara, the chief of the boy-saints, accompanied by other great sages, inquired exactly like you about the truths regarding VaasudhEva, the Supreme lord, from Lord Sankarshana, who is seated at the bottom of the universe.
POINT: Vidhura, the brother of dhrutharaashtra and uncle of 5 paaNdavaas asks sage maithreya the question about creation. In turn maithreya replies to vidhura saying - "Great sages like Sanat-kumara asked questions similar to those put forward by you Vidhura, and Lord Sankarshana [later balaraama], the snake support of supreme lord Vasudeva, answered them", or can take as the vyooha avathaaram of lord himself - one of the 4. [then it goes that bhagavatham was spoken by anantha the sankarshana and then it came down to vyaasa and sukha to pareekshith.]
Slokam 4
svam Eva dhhishNyam bahu maanayantham yam vaasudhEva abhidhham aamananthi |
prathyag-dhrutha aksha ambuja kOsam eeshadh unmeelayantham vibudhhOdhayahya ||
meaning: At that time Lord Sankarshana was meditating upon His Supreme Lord, [whom the learned esteem as Lord VaasudhEva], but for the sake of the advancement of the great learned sages, He slightly opened His lotus like eyes and began to speak.
Slokam 5
svardhhuny udhaardhraih sva-jata-kalaapair upasprushanthas charaNOpadhhaanam |
padhmam yadh archanthy ahi-raaja-kanyaah sa-prEma naanaa-balibhir varaarthhaah ||
meaning: The sages came from the highest planets down to the lower region through the water of the Ganges, and therefore the hair on their heads was wet. They touched the lotus feet of the Lord, which are worshipped with various paraphernalia by the daughters of the serpent-king when they desire good husbands.
Point: dear all, you are getting wherein the reference is there, the sages lead by sanaka and others are worshipping the lord's feet, vaasudhEvaa's or raama for thyaagaraaja or vishNu or naaraayaNa â one and same.
Let us see how brahmaa also worshipped the lord's feet and how these 4 sanaka aadhi was born in next post.
