Yatiraja vimsati


Sloka 13

 tApatrayIjanitaduHkhanipAtinopi *
                dehasthitau mama rucistu na tannivR^ittau |
        etasya kAraNamaho mama pApameva * nAtha!
                tvameva hara tadyatirAja! shIghram ||                (13)



Sloka 13
Oh, Yatiraja, my Master! Pray deliver me very soon
From my Sins which tempt me to tend with loving care,
This body, albeit the home of miseries charged with the triad of pain,
Instead of seeking means of extrication from this snare
 

Notes:        
?Tapatrayee?- The three categories of pain to which we, in this world, are exposed, are:
a.        Adhyatmika
Sufferings, both physical and mental, the source of which is to be found within ourselves (intra-organic)
b.        Adhi-bhautika
Pain, the source of which lies outside of us (extra-organic), such as sufferings caused by birds, beasts, devils, fellow-beings, atmospheric changes of extreme heat and extreme cold, radioactive fall-outs etc.
c.        Adhi-Deivika
Sufferings due to causes beyond human control, like cataclysmic forces of nature, volcanic eruption, earthquake, etc.
                         
The release from all these sources of sufferings is either consciously or unconsciously sought after by every individual, for relief from pain is one of the major activities of mankind.  And yet, the poet says here that he does not fall in with the normal trend, as above, because of his massive sins which make him hang on to this body, willy-nilly, with stupid tenacity.  It, therefore, behooves the Great master, Ramanuja to extricate the hymnographer from this unenviable mesh.
