Sri: Dear BhakthAs : Today , we will continue with the study of three more slOkams of Sri Abheethi Sthavam . SlOkam 6 ********** sTithE manasi vigrahE guNini dhAthusAmyE sathi smarEth akhila-dEhinam ya iha jAthuchith ThvAmajam tayayiva khalu sandhayA TamaTa dheerga nidhrAvasam svayam vihitha-samsmruthir-nayasi dhAma nai: SrEyasam This slOkam is an echo of Sri VarAha Charama slOkam . Word by word Meaning ************************* iha = here ( on this earth) Ya: manasi sTithE = One who holds his mind in a steady and good state vigrahE guNini = and with his body in a healthy state dhAthu SaamyE = augmented by dhAthus (Kapa , Pittha , Vaadham) in good balance(equalibrium) sathy= when the mind , body and dhAthus are in an optimal state of health akhila dEhinam ajam ThVam jaathuchith smarEth = If that blessed person were to then think of You even once and perform Prapatthi one time at Your sacred feet , aTa dheerga nidhrAvasam taMM= for such a person , at the end of his life , when he is in the grip of death (tamm) tayA samdhayA yEva= by that very thought itself of You , the Lord and the power of the earlier Prapatthi done by that Mumukshu Svayam vihitha samsmruthi: = You creat out of Your own sankalpam anthima smrithi of You in that chEtanam's mind during those last moments nai:SrEyasam dhaama nayasi khalu = and You , the Lord leads that Prapannan to Sri Vaikuntam , Your supreme abode . Moksha Sukham is enjoyed by that Muktha Jeevan as a result of thinking of You , the Lord , when the mind , body and faculties were in tact and thru the performance of his Prapatthi at that time . (Extended Meaning ): Oh Lord of Srirangam! If a chEthanan wishes to gain MOksham , He must perform Prapatthi. He must do it once at whatever stage of life he is . It is most desirable to perform this Prapatthi , when the mind is in a healthy state , the body has strength and the controlling dhAthus ( Kapam , Pittham and Vaadham) are in equipoise . In response to the Prapatthi done under the circumstances , Oh timeless Lord of Srirangam ! You remember this chEtanam at the end of his life , when that chEtanam is like a log or stone and unable to think of You , You create then anthima smruthi about You in his mind and lead this jeevan to Your Supreme abode to enjoy Moksha sukham there . The chEtanam is thus freed from the fear of suffering naraka vaasam due to the power of his earlier prapatthi done when his mind , body and dhAthus were at their best state . slOkam 7 *********** Ramaa-dayitha RangabhUramaNa KrushNa VishNO HarE Thrivikrama JanArdhana Thriyuga NaaTa NaarAyaNa ihteeva SubhadhAni Ya: paDathy nAmadhEyAni tE na tasya YamavsyathA narakapAtha bheethi : kutha : Word by Word Meaning : ************************* Ramaa Dayitha = Oh Lord of MahA Lakshmi (RanganAyaki ) ! RangahUramaNa = Oh Supreme One , who relishes Your residence at Srirangam ! KrishNa = Oh KaNNaa ! HarE = Oh Lord who chases away the Sins ! Thrivikrama = Oh Lord who measured the three worlds with your three steps ! JanArdhana = Oh Lord , who puts an end to the cycles of births and deaths in the Prakruthi MaNDalam ! Thriyuga NaaTa = Oh Master with six GuNams leading to Your name of BhagavAn ! NaaraayaNa = Oh NaarAyaNa who performed AshtAkshara manthrOpadEsam to Naran at BadrikAsramam . itheeva tE naamadhEyAni Ya: paDathy = When one recites such auspicious names of Yours like the above , Tasya Yama vasyathA na = for him , there is no fear of being under the control of Yamadharma Raajan . Naraka Paatha bheethi: kutha ? = if that were to be so , whence arises the fear of falling in Narakam and experiencing sufferings there ? (Comments) : Oh Lord of Srirangam ! You have many auspicious names such as RamA Dayithan , RangabhUramaNan ,KrishNan , VishNu , Hari , Thrivikraman , JanArdhanan , Thriyuga NaaTan and NaarAyaNan " . These auspicious names on recitation produce MangaLams for Your bhakthAs . Those who recite such names of Yours do not fall in the hands of Yama dharman. If that were to be so, then the possibility of landing in his Narakam does not arise . SlOkam 8 ********** kadAchidhapi RangabhUrasika yathra dEsE vasee ThvadhEka niyatha aaSayas-thridasa vandhithO vartatE tadhakshatha tapOvanam Tava cha rAjadhAni sTirA Sukhasya sukhamAspadham sucharithsya dhurgam mahath Word by Word Meaning : *************************** RangabhUrasika = Oh Lord of Srirangam , who is enjoying Your residence at Srirangam ! vasee ThvadhEka niyatha aasaya : = A bhagavathan with control over his indhriyams and living with a mind totally focused on You , thridaSa vandhitha: = That bhAgavathan is revered even by dEvAs , Yathra dEsE kadhAchidhapi vartathE = If he lives even for a limited time at one place , Tadhkshatha tapOvanam = That place will becomes a fit place for performing tapas without interruption . Tava sTirA RaajadhAnee cha = That place sanctified by association with the BhAgavathA will transform into a firm capitol for You (RanganAthA ) . Sukhasya sukham aaspadham = That place will become an abode for the quintessence of Sukham . sucharithasya dhurgam mahath = That place blessed by its links to the BhAgavathA will become a great fort for PuNyams . (Meaning): Oh Lord of Rangam ! Even dEvAs prostrate before a chEtanan , who controls his indhriyams and fixes his mind totally on You . He is revered by them as a BhAgavathan . When that BhAgavathan resides at one place even for a short time , that place gets elevated to a grove of penance by sages without any vignams . That place becomes fit to serve as the capitol for Your kingdom . The sukham that arises from living at this place far exceeds all other sukhams. This place becomes an invincible fortress forperforming Bhagavath-BhAgavatha Kaimkaryam and to accumulate PuNyams .
