Post 22

 

Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

 

Before taking up the next naama, let us finalise the answer to the question on that phala manjari raagam krithi which led to the naama â sanaathanaaya namah. I was waiting for some clues or reactions from the elit readers. Sinc that is not forthcoming â I myself give the answer.

 

Yes â this krithi is linked to that samudhra raajan episode - it is raama himself who got a bunch of fruits by getting angry with samudhra raajan. In that samudhra raajan also got a bunch of fruits. So it became a mutual beneficial one to both â raama and as well samudhra raajan.

 

To raama what are the fruits â as already stated in post 20 â

 

This is what vaalmeeki has to say on above points --

Point1 and 2:

ayam soumya naLO naama thanujO visva karmaNah |

pithraa dhaththa varah sreemaan prathimo visva karmaNah || 6-22-44

Esha sEthum maha outsaahah karOthu mayi vaanarah |

tham aham dhaarayishyaami thathhaa hi Esha yathaa pithaa || 6-22-45

 

meaning: samudhra raajan to raama, "O, excellent man! This one, named NaLa, a glorious person, is the son of Visvakarmaa; who was given a boon by his father and is equal to Visvakarmaa. Let this greatly energetic monkey [pointing to NaLa] build a bridge across me. I can hold that bridge. He is just the same as his father."

 

On point 3 â about crocodiles â

vidhaasyE yena ganthaasi vishahishyE hi aham thathaa |

na graahaa vidhamishyanthi yaavathsEnaa tharishyathi || 6-22-28

hareeNaam tharaNE raama karishyaami yathhaasthhalam |

 

meaning: samudhra raajan to raama "O, Raama! I shall make it possible to see that you are able to cross over. I will arrange a place for the monkeys to cross me and bear with it. As far as the army crosses me, the crocodiles will not be aggressive to them".

 

The consecration slokams are

jayasva sathroon nara dhEva mEdhineem |

sasaagaraam paalaya saasvatheeh samaah |

ithi iva raamam nara dhEva sathkritham |

subhair vachObhir vividhair apoojayan || 6-22-87

 

meaning: The celestials, Sidhdhaas and others exalted Raama, who was duly respected by kings with their auspicious words as follows: "O, king! Defeat the enemies. Rule the earth and ocean eternally for years."

 

See what vaalmeeki says â 'subhair vachObhir vividhair apoojayan' â the maharshis sidhdhaas and chaaraNaas said subhai vachObhih â said mangaLa vaachakam â aaseer vachanam â words of blessing or vividhaih apoojayan â in different method did poojaa to the lord â that is what thyaagaraaja also says â sanaathanaa â parama pavanaa.

 

These people also blessed raama with 'mEdhineem sasaagaraam paalaya saasvatheeh samaah|' â rule the world eternally. And that led thyaagaraja to add that 'sanaathanaa'.  'saasvatheeh samaah' means eternally ref Monier Williams dictionary. This in other words is sanaathanaa.

 

Dhasan
