Condensed Meaning of the Fourth SlOkam ********************************************* Your Lord's ParamAthma Svaroopam is present everywhere along with Yours (DhivyAthma Svarropam) . His dhivya mangaLa vigraham at the site of Paramapadham sits as Para VaasudEvan and is however most enchanting through its soundharyam& guNams to bring His BhakthAs under His spell and is therefore wonderful to behold and enjoy without satiation ( AarAvamudhu) . Your eternal dhivya mangaLa roopam is the dearest to Him . Your roopam is tightly coupled with His other roopams ( Para , VyUha-archA-Vibhava and hArta ) taken with His sankalpam for the purposes of Srushti , sTithi and SamhAram . He is never ever without You in any one of His manifestations and Roopams . This is what the Veda PramANmas and the views of Maharishis hold firm . You both are never sepearated fom one anothe even for a trice .Therefore , there is no confusion about both of You together being the means and the goals of Mumukshus ( those , who desire Moksham). Additional Observations from Commentators ********************************************** 1. Swamy PeriyavAcchAn PILLai (PVP) splits the first compound word of this SlOkam " SaanthAnatha " as "Saantha+aanandha ". Swamy Desikan splits " SaanthAnatha" as "Saantha+ anantha ". According to PVP , the Lord's dhivyAthma Svaroopam is free from the six afflictions that mortals are exposed to and is of the nature of aanandham ( bliss principle / Jn~Anandha Svaroopam ) . Swamy Desikan chooses the " Saantha+ anantha " split based on Lakshmi Tantra Vaakyams (Second Chapter) as moola pramANam for ParamAthma Svaroopam ( DhivyAthama Svaroopam) . Quote " Sarvatha: SAANTHA yEvAsou nirvikAra: SanAthana: ANANTHO dEsa-Kaala-Vasthu paricchEdha varjitha: MAHAA VIBHUTHI: ithyukthO vyApthi: Saa mahathee yatha: tath NaaraaNAkhyathAm- - - anyOnyEna avinAbhAvAth , anyOnyEna samanvayAth taadhAthmyam viddhi sampan Tamm MAMA NAATASYA SOBHAYAA ". Swamy Desikan links the choice of Swamy AlavanthAr words expressed in the fourth slOkam ( Saantha+ anantha ) to the exact words of MahA Lakshmi Herself describing the ParamAthma Svaroopam of Her Lord in His anyOnya avinaa bhAvam ( state of never being seperated from Her ). 2. " MahA VibhUthi " : PVP intreprets these words to refer to the Lord's Vibhuthvam or all pevasiveness .Swamy Desikan intreprets VibhUthi as Iswaryam and on that basis explains that Swamy AlavanthAr was saluting ParamAthmaa as "Ubhaya VibhUthi NaaTan " ( the Lord of both Leelaa and Nithya VibhUthi). 3. " anuroopa roopa vibhavai: " : In Lakshmi tantram , Sri DEvi describes in detail the four vyUham Moorthys , KesavAdhi (Twelve) VyUhAnthara Moorthys , the 38 Vibhavams starting from PadhmanAbhan and gives the names of every one of the amsams of Herself , who accompany the Lord in all these manifestations appropriately . If the Lord has a particular roopam , She joins Him with a matching from ( anuroopam ). Swamy AlavathAr chose the group of words( anuroopa- roopa vibhavai: ) with MahA Lakshmi's own upadEsams in mind. 4. The first line of this slOkam ( SaanthAnantha MahA vibhUthi paramam yath Brahma roopam HarE: ) focuses on the DhivyAthma Svaroopam of the Lord without any of the six afflictions (Oormi: ) and with has none being equal or superior to that dhivyAthma roopam and having Vibhuthvam ( all pervasiveness) as well . 4. The second line ( Moortham Brahma tathOapi tath-priyataram roopam yath adhyadhbhutham) focuses on the dhivya MangaLa vigraham of the Lord Para VaasudEvan presiding over Sri Vaikuntam and at the center of the orbit of the Sun with a crown and beautiful aabharaNams , vastrams , ParivArams et al . 5. "Yaanyaani yathaa sukham viharathO roopANi sarvANi " : Our Lord takes on many avathArams and is born amidst us although He is without birth ( ajAyamAno Bahudha vijaayathE) to reveal His soulabhya GuNam and to mingle with us. He takes His avathArams for protecting His BhAgavathAs and to destroy Bhaagavatha dhvEshis (Dharma samsTApanArTAya ---SambhavAmi yugE yugE ). He incarnates as Raamaa and KrishNaa . 6. " ThaannyAhu: svair--anuroopa roopa vibhavair ghADOpa gUDAni tE " In all these avathArams , Sri Devi joins Her Lord in an appropriate form. In RaamAvathAram , She takes on the form of SithA PirAtti ; In KrishNAvathAram , She becomes RukmiNI PirAtti . She is never without Her Lord and vice versa in other avathArams as well ( RaaghavathvE abhavath SeethA , RukmiNee KrishNa janmani , anyEshu chAvathArEshu VishNurEshA anapaayinee).She takes on the anroopa avathArams fitting that of Her Lord's roopam . Te thundering conclusion of ChathusslOki is that Sri DEvi has Vibhuthvam , Iswarathvam , Jagath--KaaraNathvam like Her Lord and elected (on Her own volition) to be the subordinate to Her Lord(Sesha BhUthai) in Her role as His dharma Pathnee and divides appropriately Their joint duties . She stays as anugrahamayee displaying PurushakAram and displays yEka sEshithvam while staying as UpAyam (Means) and UpEyam ( Goal for SaraNagathan) and accepts the havis/aathma samarpaNam together with Her Lord during aathma samarpaNa samayam . VaikuntE thu parE lOkE SRIYAA saardham Jagathpathi: aasthE VishNur-achinthyAthmA Bhakthair Bhaagavathair-saha (Meaning) : In His Supreme abode of Sri Vaikuntam , the Lord of the universe and whose svaroopam is beyond our imagination sits with Sri DEvi , Their BhakthAs and the BhAgavathAs . Thvam Maathaa SarvalOkAnAm DevadEvO Hari: Pithaa Thvayai yEthath VishNunaa cha Ambha Jagath vyAptham charaacharam -- VishNu PurANam I-9-126 (Meaning): Thou art the Mother of the Universe and its beings . Hari , the Lord of DevAs is the Father of the same universe and its beings.This universe consisting of sentient and the insentient entities is pervaded all around by both Yourself and Your Lord .
