(29) On nAthA! My Master! You are higher than the jeevAthmAs- who are above Prakruthi (Matter)[as the chEthanan is above the achEthanAs]! Even then, You came down [from Paramapadham- the Grandest place] to Milky Ocean in Prakruthi maNdalam (paaRkadal] and reclined on AdishEshan [due to Your sowlabhyam and bless the Devas from there! At all times- You are with Periya PiraaTTi- the unparalleled One-in Your divine Chest as You both are inseparable ones- and enjoyed being associated with her always! Even after all that (in spite of PoornAnandham), You appeared (due to greatest sowseelyam and sowlabhyam) out of human bodies and were born as Rama, Krishna and others. What an Ascharyam! Oh jnAnaswarUpI! Who can utter the greatness of Yours as it is like this or that sort! [None can ever.] aksharAtha para: - The jeevAthmAs are grander and greater than Prakruthi (matter); You- the Lord ? are the grandest and greatest of all! mattha: paratharam naanyath; There is none above or equal to You; aksharE paramE; paramE vyOman; thamasa: parasthAth; - You exist as jyOthiswarUpi in Dhivya mangaLa vigaraham in Paramapadham and due to your bhaktha vaathsalyam, stooped down to prajruthi (matter) for the sake of Devas and reclined on paaRkadal (milky ocean); Even then, the beings are scared of Your Superior Lordship and may not face You and hence You have the Divine consort who is the most compassionate and most merciful- and perform the mediator role; Hence you house her always in your divine Chest ? what a compassion of Yours! Even then, it is only for Devas and humans are not able to get benefited and hence You appeared in lowly dirty human bodies! What an ocean of kaaruNyam! Not only do you destroy the evil and establish dharma, You also teach vedic doctrines and instruct esoteric truths during such avathArams! You are avyAjavathsalan. Who can describe Your such greatness and dayA! None. Uratthilum orutthi thannai- the um (there with uratthil- meaning chest) ? Periyavaacchaan Pillai says: SwaroopaantharbhAvam is described. Not only in Dhivya Athma swarUpam PiraaTTi is with Him; also in Dhivya mangala Vigraham (ThirumEni); thAnyAahu: svairanurupa rupa vibhavai: Gaadhopa gutaanidhE ? - says AlavandhAr in ChathuslOkI. ChauthslOkI is a wonderful work by Alavandhar in four slokas- describing the greatness of PiraaTTi. In Chathussloki ( poem of four verses ) , YaamunA focussed on the theme of Purushakaara Prapatthi and Eka Seshithvam principles . He based this work of his on the doctrines outlined by Lakshmi Tantram . Eka Seshitvam refers to the practise of considering both Sri Devi and BhagavAn together as the means and the goal (upAyam and Upeyam ). In this context, they are inseparable and hence She is known as VishNu Patnee and He is known as Sriman NArAyaNan. In the majestic fourth slokam of ChathuslOkI starting with the assembly of well-chosen words ripe with profound meanings "SaanthaanandaMahaa Vibhuthi Paramam Yadh Brahma Rupam Hare: --" and ends dramatically with the words as given above Aahu: svairanurupa rupa vibhavai: Gaadhopa gutaanidhE ". YaamunA asserts here that Sri Devi's Rupams and GuNAs are tightly bonded together with that of Her Lord in an inseparable manner. Whenever He assumes Vyuha -Vibhava - Haartha-Archaa rupaas , She takes the appropriate rupams and is tightly united with Him as Nithya anapAyini. Thus they demonstrate Eka Seshitvam and become UpAyam and Upeyam to us all. Thus ParamAthmaswarUpam is mixed with PiraaTTi?s Purushaakaara (Recommendatory) DhivyAthmaswarUpam due to Their compassion on us. Thus the two vibhUs are intertwined everywhere; in all forms; And the Lord also did it in Dhiva rUpam also in addition to Dhivya Athma swarUpam (hence um- says Periyavaacchaan PiLLai) Naratthilum piRatthi- jnAnamUrthiyaayinaay- Even during Rama Krishna avathAram- You preached and taught. Or it can also mean or be interpreted to read that- He taught and declared the SaranAgatha rakshaNam quite unambiguously and categorically. OR He also appeared as human forms (SadAchAryas like Ramanuja, Alavandhar and Swamy desikan and others ? including the compassionate present day Acharyas). Such greatness of the Lord?s- Yours- can anyone utter fully! None can utter.
