I thank Sriman Sadagopan for reminding me of Swami Desikan's hymn on

Jatayu,"paramArtha-stuthi" !!

 

All that I had tried to essay in more than two dozen laborious postings,

Swami Desikan captured in ONE sterling verse #7 in the 'paramArtha-stuthi'

and here it is :

 

 

avadhIrya chathurvidham pUmartham

bhavadharthE viniyUkthajIvithaha san I

labhathE bhavathaha palAni janthuhu

nikhilAnyatra nidarshanam jatayuhu II

 

My personal English paraphrase of the above :

 

"Any living entity which "transcends" the 4 'purUshArthA-s' and embraces

instead You and dedicates its very life for Your Sake, will obtain all

fruits -- of the here and the hereafter -- from You !! Jatayu is the

grandest example of this truth !! "

 

Dear 'bhAgavatOttamA-s', look at the exquisite brevity of Swami Desikan's

Verse here where he has packed into 4 lines of simple Sanskrit what I

struggled and could never properly express in thousands of words in my

postings of the past two weeks !!

 

I beseech the blessings of our great 'achAryA' and pray to him here to

forgive me if in the course of my own so-called "ramblings" on the net I

have in any way inadvertantly distorted or otherwise misrepresented the

essential message embedded in the above gem of verse in the

'paramArtha-stuthi' !!

 

Sriman Sadagopan has promised me that he will give his remarks on this

'paramArtha-stuthi' shortly on the 'bhakti-list'. I request him to elaborate

on this particular Verse #7 which virtually is a HEART-STEALER !!!!

 

nrsumha-priyan,

sudarshan
