SrI:
 
Dear Sri HayagrIva BhakthAs :
 
Let us study the next few lines of Sri HayagrIva Panjaram :
 
2nd NamaskAram:  Yasya vijn~Ana-mAthrENa VaaNi GangEva nissarEth
 
(Meaning): By mere comprehension of this sacred Panjaram ,
the speech ( words and language ) will flow like the descending
GangA pravAham with majesty and speed .
 
(Comments): VaaNi here is  divine speech ; It also means Saraswathy (Devi
SarOja Aasana dharma pathnee) , the Goddess of learning , who has been
empowered by a lava lesam (Trifle) of Lord HayagrIvan's ( Sakala VidhyA
Moorthy's) dhivya anugraham . VaaNi is also the name for MahA Lakshmi
in Sri HayagrIva avathAram .  Through the anugraham of the Sarva VidhyA
AadhAra Moorthy , Sri Lakshmi HayagrIvan , the reciter of Sri HayagrIva Panjaram
is blessed with divine vaak that flows in an unimpeded manner .
 
3rd NamaskAram : Suddha  sphaDika sankAsam thushaarAchala sannibham .
 
(Meaning ): He is like a pure (blemishless)  sphaDika (White crystal) gem .
SphaDikam is clear rock crystal out of which gems are made . SankAsam
means resembling . Lord Hayagrivan is not only " Suddha SphaDika
SankAsan " but he is also saluted in this namaskAram as "ThusharAchala
Sannibhan ".  Thushaaraachalam  means Himaalaya Mountain . It also means
a white mountain (of dew) . Sannibhan means one that resembles . He is
compared to the mighty king of mountains , which stands as the measuring rod for
the universe ( KaaLi Daasan in the first slOkam of KumAra Sambhavam) .  
 
Lord HayagrIvan is saluted here as a lofty , faultless white crytal mountain .
Swamy Desikan's Sri Hayagriva  sthOthram echos these Salutations:
 
" nirmala sphadikAkruthim " - - - Ist SlOkam passage
 
" Suddha sphaDika manI bhUbhruth prathipaDam " - - -2nd SlOkam passage.
 
This blemishless sphaDika mountain of HayagrIvan however  is self-manifested
(svatha siddham). He makes the three worlds  white with His nectar-like effulgence
( SudhA sadhreecheebhi: dhyuthibhi: avadhAtha thribhuvanam ) .
 
The 15th slOkam of Sri HyagrIva Sthothram is also to be reflected on here :
 
api kshaNArdham kalayanthy yE ThvAm AaplAvayantham visadhairmayUkhai:
vaachAm pravAhai: anavArithaistE mandhAkineem mandhayithum kshamanthE
 
(Meaning): Oh HayagrIva PerumAnE ! You cast Your ThirumEni's white effulgence
on Your adiyArs and cool them . Those who have the bhAgyam to meditate on You
of such attributes  (like the cool HimAlaya mountain /TushAra achalam)
even for half a second are blessed by You to have uninterrupted flood of
dhivya vaak. They are able to have the power of speech , which exceeds
the GangA pravAham in speed of delivery .    
 
4th NamaskAram : svEtha parvatha sankAsa-chandhra maNDala madhyagam
 
(Meaning): He is like a white mountain ( svEtha parvatham ); Lord HayagrIvan's
Suddha Satthvamaya ThirumEni is saluted here . He is also visulized here
as being seated at the center of the orbit of the Moon (Chandran) . This Moon
is no ordinary Moon but the unmistakably bright autumn Moon ( Saradh chandran).
 
Swamy Desikan makes reference to Lord HayagrIvan seated at the center of
the autumn Moon on a freshly blososmed white lotus matching His hue in
the passage from the 26th slOkam of sri HayagrIva SthOthram :
 
" niSAmayE ThvAm nava-puNDareekE SaradhganE Chandramiva sphurantham "   
 
Swamy Desikan states here that he visualizes Lord HayagrIvan's Suddha sphaDika
ThirumEni with his inner eye as the Moon seated on a new white lotus amidst 
the radiant white clouds of the autumn season ( Iyppasi-Kaarthikai months). 
 
Fifth NamaskAram: Chathurbhujam udhArAngam PuNdareekAyathEkshaNam
 
Lord HayagrIvan is visualized at the center of the orbit of the autumn Moon
with four hands , generous limbs and lotus like soft and beautiful eyes .
UdhArAngam can also be understood as aajAnu baahu , the hands that
reach almost down to his knees . This is one of the thirty two SaamudhrikA
lakshaNams .
 
Sixth NamaskAram : Sankha-chakram dEvam kireeDa makuDojvalam
 
The last namaskAram referred to four arms ( Chathurbhujam ); here the divine
weapons adorning two of the four hands are identified as the conch , Paanchajanyam
and the disc, Sudarsanam . On His head shines a crown befitting that of
SarvEswaran .
 
Seventh & 8th NamaskArams: 
 
KousthubhOdh-bhAsithOraskam vanamAlA virAjitham 
PeethAmbharadharam dEvam SrIvathsaankitha vakshasam 
 
Sri HayagrIvan is Deva Devan , Ubhaya vibhUthi NaaTan , Sriman
NaarAyaNan , who has taken the avathAram of HayagrIvan . His
lakshaNams are revealed to us here : His chest is adorned with 
the Kousthubham gem and the garland of wild flowers (Vyajayanthi
Maalai) is also seen on that chest as well . The divine mole of Srivathsam
is visible on the chest of the Lord . He has a yellow silk garment 
(PeethAmbharam ) on His waist . 
 
The 9th namaskAram: Mukhya hastha dhvayEnaiva Jn~Ana mudhrAksha
Pusthakam dhArayantham HayagrIvam dhyAyEth ishtArTa sidhdayE 
 
This passage of Sri HyagrIva Panjaram states that Lord HayagrIvan
carrying Jn~Ana Mudhrai in the right lower hand and a book on His
left lower hand should be meditated upon for ishta kAmyArTa siddhi
( recieving as boon , what one desires among the four PurushArTams).
 
Swamy Desikan's dhyAna slOkam on Sri HayagrIva BhagavAn is connected
to this passage of Sri HyaagrIva Panjaram :
 
vyAkhyA-mudhrAm kara-sarasijai: pusthakam Sankha-chakrE
  Bhibrath bhinna sphaDika ruchirE puNareekE nishaNNa:
amlAna SrI: amrutha visadhai: amsubhi: plAvayan maam
  AavirbhUyAth anaga-mahimA maanasE Vaagadheesa:
 
- - - 32nd slOkam of Sri HayagrIva SthOthram
 
(Meaning): In His upper two hands , Lord HayagrIvan adorns 
the divine Disc and the Conch ; in the front two hands , He displays
Jn~Ana MudhrA as PraTamAchAryan and a Book ( Pusthakam )
to represent an AchArya SrIkOsam . He is seated on a newly blossomed 
white lotus and he appears like a portion of sphaDika maNi hill .
His effulgence never diminishes. There is no limit to His blemishless
Vaibhavam . Swamy Desikan prays to the First Lord of VidhyA to
shower His cool , nectar-like rays on him and immerse him in that
comforting coolness and appear before  his mind and reside there 
forever .
 
(To be continued)
