puruShaha (star-aSwini) = puru sanOti iti puruShaha = The one who gives in 
abundance.

pASuram : iraNDAm tiruvandAdi - 38 (bUttatALwAr tiruvaDigaLE SaraNam)

samanvayam with pASuram : His total grace is required for fulfilling all our 
good wishes. Our mother LakShmi is instrumental in giving them. The one who 
gives them is the nArAyaNa. We on our part have to just recite His divine 
names. No additional effort is required from our side. Infact, this secret was 
disclosed by the vEda itself. Our mother just signals her wishes through the 
movement of her eye brows and He at once fullfills all our good wishes. And 
hence, the puruSha sUktam declares Him as the one and only 'puruSha'.

pASuram :
yemakkenru iru nitiyum yEmAntu irAtE
Not mistaking the wealth to be the protection

tamakkenrum SArvam arindu namakkenrum mAdavanE yenrum manam paDaittu
Knowing well in the heart that mAdhava is our greatest wealth and our sole 
refuge.

martru avan pEr OtuvatE nAvinAL Ottu
And reciting His names with your tongue is the vEdam.

Detailed Interpretation : 
1) Not mistaking the wealth to be the protection : We consider that, which 
fulfills our wishes and removes our difficulties/dislikes as our protection. 
Never mistake it to be the wealth that we possess. It is only due to His 
bountiful grace on us.

2) Knowing well in your heart that mAdhava is the sole refuge & the greatest 
wealth :
Knowing well that our mother SrI dEvi is instrumental in giving us the 
protection and our father is our sole protector ;

3) And reciting His divine names with your tongue is the vEdam : To please that 
Lord srIman nArAyaNa, all that we need to do is to recite His divine names with 
our tongue. Thats all. Just reciting His name with the tongue (even though we 
may not believe it in our hearts) is all we need to do. He showers all the good 
wealths on us bountifully. The effort on our part (if we feel so) is negligible 
and the results are huge and ever lasting. 

If this is the case with us, then what to say about those who sing His glories 
and names with utmost love. He makes those fortunate souls enjoy His endless 
kaLyANa guNAs and He finally gives Himself to them.

Thats why our swAmi is the one and only 'puruSha'. - The one who gives in 
abundance.

Jai Sriman Narayana
