(Meaning): Among the mantrams used for consecration are : ApOhishtA
mantrams recited at the beginning of sandhyA vandhanam , PavamAna mantrams
recited during PuNyAhavAchanam , AgamarshaNa mantrams used during the time of
snAnam , AshtAkshari , Gaayathri , yEkAkshari PraNavam , Purusha Sooktham
and VyAhruthi mantram used during prOkshaNam ( sprinkling for pavithrIkaraNam).
Oh Mahaa Lakshmi ! Your NaamAs have the same power to consecrate any one and
any thing . There is none who is outside their power of consecration . Such is
the power and Vaibhavam of Your NaamAs ! Who will fail to be purified by them ?
None !
(Comments ): Here , the poet , who is a Parama Vaidhikar and a performer of
many
Yaj~nams states from experience that the NaamAs of Mahaa Lakshmi are as powerful
as Mantrams from several Veda Bhaagams :
1) PuNyAhavachana Parisuddhi mantram : PavamAna mantram starting with "
PavamAna:
suvarjana: " . This is the heart of the PunyAhavachana rites . The sankalpam
for
PuNyAhAvachanam states clearly that it is for ganing all types of parisuddhi :
" sareera SuddhyarTam , Aathma SuddhyarTam , sarvOpakaraNa SuddhyarTam ,
Gruha SuddhyarTam Suddhi puNyAvAham vaachayishyE ". This sankalpam clearly
points out the PavamAna mantram is to be recited is for purification of the
site ,
body , manas and the utensils used in the AarAdhanam /Yaj~nam . Therefore ,
it is a consecration mantram for removing dhOshams from every thing .
Other than PuNyAhavachanam in the households , the PuNyAhavachanam used at
the temples ( VaasudEva puNyAhavachanam ) reiterates Suddhi at many places .
Examples are :
SuddhayE VaasudEvasthu laangali SuddhayE taTaa
Pradhyumna SuddhayE chAsthu AniruddhOasthu SuddhayE (3)
ashDAthrimsA imE dEvA: SuddhayE lOkapAvanA:
dEvyaS-SriyAdhayassanthu SuddhayE VishNuvallabhA : (19)
SuddhayE VainatEyAasthu Pakshi raaD uraga aasana:
SuddhayEasthu guNAdhyaksha: VishvaksEna: prathApavAn (21)
VibhO: karishyamANasya YaagasTAnasya SuddhayE
yOgOpakaraNAnAncha SuddhayE yaaga KarmaNAm (27)
yEthath puNyAham uddhishDam VishNOr-Yaagahdhi-karmasu
yEthan mantra jalairEva prOkshaNam SuddhiruchayathE (35)
The above mantram says that sprinkling of all the sites , vessels used in
VishNu yaagam with the waters consecrated by the VaasudEva PuNyAhavachanam
will remove all aSuddhi and consecrate them for use in the Yaj~nam .
2) AapOhishtaa Mantram used at the beginning of daily sandhyA vandhanam
and during the Mantra snAnam has the same putificatory effect .They are for
gaining parisuddhi.
3) Similarly , MadhyAhnika prASana mantram ( Aapa: punanthu--) clearly points
out
their efffect of achieving purification . Similar are the abhlinga mantrams
such as
" AapO vaa idham--) .
4) AgamarshaNa mantram : it has the words PunAthu and punanthu often in its
midst.
The usage of PunAthu indicates a prayer for purification .
5) AshtAksharam : Its sacredness is matchless . "PavithrANAm pavithram yO
Moola Mantra: sanAtana: " is the reference to the purificatory power of this
ancient mantram .
6) Gayathri : When we do not recite Gaayathri Mantram daily , one is considered
impure and unfit to do any Vaidhika karmaas ( SandhyAheena: aSuchi: ) .
7) PraNava mantram & Purusha Sooktham : They confer special Jn~Anam on
the reciters ( ViSuddhi: paramaa mathaa ).They consecrate the mind .
8) VyAhruthi Mantrams : With PraNavam in front , these three VyAhruthi
mantrams are uttered for all purification purposes thru sprinkling with
water and for sarva PrAyascchittha AahUthi in Yagams .
Therefore , these 8 Veda and Aagama BhAgams are key for cleansing
and consecration of one's sareeram , upakaraNams and Yaaga BhUmi.
The poet points out Mahaa Lakshmi's naamAs confer a similar purification
on those who recite them with devotion .The poet asks a rhetoric question:
" tE namabhi: kO naama Suddhim na bhajathE ? "
who indeed among the reciters of Your nAmAs not get purified ?
The poet's answer is every one will be purified and recieve
the anugraham of Mahaa Lakshmi .
Let us recite some of these NaamAs of Lakshmi for our own purification .
