bhUta bhavya bhavath prabhuhu 
(star ? Ashwini)

The one who is the Lord (swAmi) of everyone/everything at all times (bhUta, 
bhaviShya & vartamAna kAlams).

pASuram : perumAL Tirumozhi ? 2-6 ( KulaSEkharALwAr TiruvadigaLE SaraNam)

[ Before continuing with this post, a message from my father in the context of 
Sri KulaSEKharALwAr?s pASuram.

?This work of BhOgyAmrutam started with blessings of Sri Ramanuja (?inamutan 
uttukkEn inkEvA painkiLiyE?). Here Sri Ramanuja had called upon Sri 
KulaSEkharALwAr to enjoy this divine nectar. So, Sri Ramanuja was considered to 
be the convener and Sri KulaSEkharALwar as the chair person who used to invite 
each Alwar to present His pASuram. Thus, this work was carried out by Sri 
Ramanuja and Sri KulaSEkharALwAr. And we proceed praying to their SrI pAdams, 
to give us an oppurtunity to enjoy the anubhavams of all our AlwArs.?

EmberumAnAr divya TiruvadigaLE SaraNam

KulaSEKharALwAr divya TiruvadigaLE SaraNam ]

Samanvayam with pASuram : You are the Lord of those who exist. This tag ofreal 
existence can be given only to those who are eternally in communion with you. 
In the past (bhUta kAlam), they were your divyAbharaNams & divyAyudhams. 
Currently, they are decorating all these worlds as our AchAryAs & AlwArs. In 
the future (bhaviShya kAlam), they will be again shining as your divine 
ornaments and matchless weapons. In this way, you have become their Lord at all 
times. Thus you get the name bhUta bhavya bhavath prabhuhu.

Others who do not realize their svarUpam are equal to non-existing. Through our 
AchAryAs & AlwArs, you give us our svarUpa jnAnam and thus make us the dAsAs 
(servants) of your great devotees. Thus you are the Lord of all bhUtams at all 
times.

pASuram :

Ati antam anantam | arputamAna vAnavartam pirAn

The source (beginning), the end, the infinite, the amazing one and the 
controller of all the nitya sUrIs.

pAtamAmalar sUDum - To decorate the unparalled SrI pAdams (of such Lord). 

patti ilAta pAvikaL uyandiDa - To uplift & elevate the sinners who lack such 
Bhakti (to decorate those divine feet).

tItil nannerikAtti ? (The one) who shows the spotless & sublime path.

yengum tirindu arangam yemmAnukkE ? (To that) Lord who is on the move 
everywhere & who resides in SriRangam.

kAtal sey toNDArku ? To those who lovingly serve Him.

yeppirappilum kAtal seyyum yennejnamE ? My mind is extremely eager to serve 
them lovingly for any number of lives to come. 

Detailed Meaning :

Source : He is the kAraNam behind the incarnations of all our AchAryAs 
andAlwArs. In the past, all of them were glowing along with Him as His 
divyAbharaNams and divyAyudhams. Then, He was the only source for their 
sustainance and Anandam, through His inseperable association with them.

Even now, when they have descended to this earth as our AlwArs & AchAryAs,He 
remains their only source and Lord. Thus He was their Lord in the past and is 
their Lord in the present.

The destroyer : In the future (i.e., after praLayam), all our AchAryAs & AlwArs 
will continue to glow with Him as His divine ornaments and weapons. They 
decorate His divya mangaLa vigraham with extreme pAratantryam (as per His 
wishes) and love. Thus, He continues to be their Lord in the bhaviShya kAlam 
(future) also.

The one who is the infinite and the astonishing : As He cannot bear the 
seperation from our AchAryAs & AlwArs, He comes and takes the archA forms at 
their places and the divya dEShams. This aspect of He having both the paratvam 
and Soulabhyam simultaneously is a most amazing rarity. Through His extreme 
Soulabhyam as the archA mUrti, He has won their hearts and has become their 
Lord in the vartamAna kAlam too.

The controller of nitya SurIs : Not only does He Lord over and enliven 
thebhAgavatAs who have descended to this earth, but simultaneously He presides 
over and entertains the nitya SurIs in the paramapadam also.

O such Lord, You show the spotless & sublime path : You show the peerless path 
for the upliftment of those who do not have the Bhakti & thus are not fit to 
decorate your unparalled SrI pAdams. 

What made you create and maintain all these worlds?. What for have you sent all 
our AchAryAs & AlwArs?. What is it that is being achieved through allthis 
effort in this vartamAna kAlam?.

All of this is mainly aimed at our upliftment by guiding us through the divine 
pathways leading to your SrI pAdams. 

We do not have Bhakti to decorate your SrI pAdams. To fill that void in our 
hearts, our AlwArs have graced us with the 4000 divya prabandha pASurams.Our 
AchAryAs are reinforcing them by providing us with their divine and esoteric 
meanings. And You (Lord SriRanga nAtha) are protecting all of them as their 
Lord.

Thus people like me are the reason behind You becoming the bhavath 
prabhu.Really we are great and fortunate.

My mind is eager to serve for any number of lives, the bhAgavatAs who are 
devoted to that Lord : My mind is extremely eager to serve all the bhAgavatAs 
who are devoted to that Lord at Sri Rangam 

That Lord has created this great wish in me and transformed me. This is His 
most remarkable achievement as bhUta bhavya bhavath prabhu. He has kindled this 
lamp (this feeling) of eternal servitude to His devotees in my mind and heart.

Everyone/being in all these worlds belongs wholly & solely to that supremeLord. 
We have been graced with our bodies only to serve all of them. Thus,there is no 
feeling which is higher than this feeling of being a faithful servant of all 
those who serve that Lord SriRanganAtha. Is there a means better than this for 
my upliftment?.

That Lord (Sri RanganAtha) is the Lord for all, at all times (bhUta 
bhavyabhavath prabhu) and I am the servant of all who serve Him as their Lord 
with utmost love. All this play of vartamAna kAlam (being carried out by Him)is 
only to make us realize this (our svarUpa jnAnam).

Jai Sriman Narayana
