Marghazhi Month : Day 4 ********************************* Sri: Dear BhakthAs of Thiruvaheendhrapuram Achyuthan: Let us study 5 more slOkams ( 26- 30 ) today . SlOkam 26 ************** amrutha rasa sAgarasyEva AhindhrapuranAtha nirmala mahArgANi Saknuvanthy na vigaNayithum ananyasulabhAni Tava guNarathnAni (Meaning ) : Oh Lord of Ahindhrapuram! The gems in the form of Thy guNAs associated with Thee are unique . If You are like an insatiable ocean of nectar to experience , Your guNAs are like the priceless , faultless gems there ,which are not found in any other gods. Either the people of the world or the VedAs can list or adequately eulogize Your matchless guNAs . In the previous few slOkams , Swamy Desikan was focusing on the svaroopam of the Lord and now Swamy Desikan shifts to a salutation of the kalyANa guNams of the Lord . Swamy Desikan compres the Lord to an ocean of nectar; he churns out of that ocean the essence of that nectar. In that essence of the nectar, our AchAryan finds the matchless, priceless , blemishless guNAs of the Lord like gems belonging to that quintessence of that nectar . SlOkam 27 *************** bhUshitha Sruthi seemantha: bhujagEndhra purEsa sarvaguNa seemAntha: kshapitha thrushA mala mOhO muneenAm hrudhayEshu sphursi SyAmaLa mayUkha: (Meaning according to D.R.Swamy ): Oh Lord of Ahindhrapura ! Thou who art a jewel on the parting line on the hair on the heads of the Sruthi damsels , the ultimate boundary of all guNAs , dispeller of all desire , dirt (sins) and delusion , You shine in the hearts of the sages with a blue effulgence . (Comments) :On the siras of Veda SthreekaL , You are the adorning jewel located at the parting line of their hair(i-e)., the VedAs carry You on their heads in adoration (SirasA vahanthy) . The Yogis meditate on Your divine blue body and You stay in their heart lotuses and shine there andremove their desires , sins and delusions . After saluting the guNAs of the Lord , Swamy Desikan celebrates here the vigraham of the Lord and states that He is the SirOnmaNi (crest jewel ) of the VedAs . He transcends all His GuNAs . His dhivya MangaLa vigraham (SubhAsrayam) has the power to chase away material desires , sins , delusions and illusions. He has a divine bluish hue that thrills the hearts of the Yogis , who meditate on this dhivya MangaLa vigraham . SlOkam 28 ************** SubhalakshaNa SrIvathsa sObhasE nirmuktha viraha kshaNa SrIvathsa: raNadEvatha savidhagatha: udhbhaDa Garudanadhee-theera vana savidha gaja: (Meaning according to D.R.Swamy): With the auspicious mole known as SrIvathsam as Thy identifying mark , and with MahA Lakshmi without a moment's seperation on Thy chest, Thou , who art ever in the vicinity of war which is a sport to Thee , shinest like a majestic elephant roaming at will near the forest on the bank of Garuda river ( vide: DevanAyaka PanchAsath , 52nd slOkam passage : " Garuda sarithanoopE gandhahastheeva dheevyan". His chest has the divine mole , Srivathsam and the mark of the sacred feet of MahA Lakshmi ( vide: 6th slOkma of Sri Bhagavath DhyAna sOpAnam :" SrIvathsEna praTitha-vibhavam, SrIpadhanyAsa dhanyam , madhyam BhAvOrmaNivararuchA ranjitham ") . MahA Lakshmi stays on Her Lord's chest without ever leaving ( ahalihillEn iRayumenRu AlarmElmangai uRai Maarbhan ) . Even in the Vaamana avathAram , She stayed hidden under the deer skin of the sacred thread of Her Lord ( vide : DehaLeesa Sthuthi : KrishNAjinEna yavanikAm kruthavAnn PriyAyA: ). SlOkam 29 ************** akumAra youvana sTitham Aheendhrapura nATa abhimatam-anuroopam nithyam svabhAva siddham SrUyathE soorimahitham sukham Tava roopam ( Meaning according to D.R.Swamy): Oh Lord of Aheendhrapura ! The Sruthis celebrate Your ThirumEni (body) as forever youthful-without even having been a kumAra (boy ) , as eternal , as having naturally coming into being out of thine own will , as befitting Thee in every respect , as very much to Thy liking and as ever praised by the Nithyasooris . (Comments): Seven qualities of the Lord's ThirumEni (Divine body ) is saluted here : (1) It is eternally youthful ( nithya yuvA) (2) it is eternal , it does not get destroyed ever (3)It is timeless (anAdhi) , (4) It came in to being not because of the end result of the KarmAs but out of the Lord's own sankalpam (5) ThiruvuLLatthukku uhappAnathu ( it befits the Lord in every way), (6) It is of the form of bliss and (7) it is highly enjoyed by the nithya sooris in Sri Vaikuntam as Para VaasudEvan . SlOkam 30 ************** thriguNam Tasya vikArA: Achyutha Purusha ithyAgama gaNyamAnA: arTAstava khalu samasthA: parasmin roopE bhUshaNaasthra svaroopA: (Meaning according to D.R.Swamy ) : Oh Achyutha! Prakruthi consisting of the three guNAs , Sathvam , Rajas and Tamas , its other manifestations like mahath , ahankAra etc., and the JeevAthmA and all objects reckoned in the SaasthrAs , they are all embedded in Thy ParavAsudEva ThirumEni as weapons and AabharaNams ( ornaments). ( Comments): VisishtAdhvaitha siddhAntham states that there are 25 tatthvams. The 25th tatthvam is JevAthma and the 26th Tatthvam is ParamAthma . All the other 24 Tatthvams are grouped under Prakruthi ( Mahath, ahankAra , mind , five Jn~ana IndhriyAs , five Karma IndhriyAs , the five elements / Pancha bhUthams and five TanmAthrAs) . The Veda PramANam is that all the 25 tathtvams are incorporated in the body of Para VaasudEavan in Sri Vaikuntam as weapons and ornaments . One of Swamy Desikan's AdhikaraNa Sangraha slOkam ( PuruDan MaNivaramAha--) describes this phenomenon . The 15th SlOkma of DhaivanAyaka Panchakam also elaborates on this matter . On the Lord's body , Moola Prakruthi shines as SrIvathsam ; the growth from prakruthi becomes Mahath and takes the form of the mace KowmEdhaki ; the derivative of Mahath becomes ahankAra and shines as Saarangam bow and the conch Paanchajanyam. The manas tatthvam become the disc , Sudarsanam. The 5 Jn~Ana and the five Karma Indhriyams becomes the ten the arrows in His quiver . Jn~Anam becomes the sword Nandhakam . Ajn~Anam becomes the sheath for the sword. The pancha bhUthams and the pancha tanmAthrais become the forest garland , Vyjayanthy. Jeevan shines as the gem , Kousthubham. Thus all these tatthvams are radiantly present as AabharaNams and Aayudhams in Para VaasudEvan's ThirumEni .
