Swamy Desikan Thirunakshthram : PurattAsi SravaNam --Part 2

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs :

 

I will continue with the salutations to

Swamy Desikan thru the highlighting of

the kula dhanams that he left for us.

 

7) Sri VairAgya panchakam : Slokam 5

***********************************

 

naasthi pithrArjitham kimchith

na mayA kimchith aarjitham

asthi mE Hasthi sailAgrE

Vasthu PaithAmaham dhanam

 

(Meaning ) : I do not have any wealth bequeathed

to me through my father's earnings ; I do not have

any accumulated wealth from my own efforts. But ,

I have in my possession the wealth bequeathed to me

by Brahmaa . That is the glorious one , which never

diminishes and came into my possession via the

AsvamEdha Yaagam performed by BrahmA on top of

Hasthi Giri .The name of that never diminishing

wealth is PeraruLALan . Why would I be in need

of any other wealth , while I have this special

Isvaryam ?

 

8) Sri SaraNAgathi Deepikai: Slokam 12

************************************

 

tvAm matharam cha pitharam sahajam nivAsam

santha: samEthya saraNam suhrudham gathim cha

nissIma nithya niravadhya sukha prakAsam

DhIpaprakAsa savibhuthi guNam visanthi

 

(Meaning ) : Oh ! Lord DhIpaprakasA !

Those BhagavathAs , who have true knowledge

about You recognize You as their Mother , Father ,

Brother, support (aadhAram ) , friend and the

fruit of the effort and seek refuge at Your

lotus feet . As a result of Your blessing them

with the boon of Moksham , these BhagavathAs

enjoy You without let in Sri Vaikuntham . They

enjoy You immensely as the limitless , eternal ,

undiluted aanandha svarUpan , JnA~nap pirAn , possessor

of limitless auspicious attributes and the Lord

of both Nithya and LeelA VibhUthis .

 

9) Sri VeghA Sethu sthOthram : SlOkma 8

*************************************

 

SaraNam upagathAnAm sOyam aadhEsakArI

samayathi parithApam sammukha: sarva janthO:

satha guNa pariNAma: samnidhou yasya nithyam

vara vitharaNa bhUmA VaaraNAdhrIsvarsya

 

(Meaning ) : The EmperumAn of ThiruvehhA does as

told by the prapannAs , who have performed SaraNAgathi

at His sacred feet . He appears before all beings

and removes their sorrows . Because of His proximity ,

the boon giving power of the Lord of Hasthi Giri

grows one hundred fold .YathOkthakAri thus empowers

the Varadhan's vara dhAna palan multifold .

 

10) Sri Ashta BhujAshtakam : SlOkam 9

**********************************

 

prapanna Jana pAthEyam prapatthisUnAm rasAyanam

srEyasE jagadhAm yEthath Srimadh Ashta BhujAshtakam

 

(Meaning ) : The Lord of Ashta Bhujam is the food

for use for those who have performed Prapatthi

at His lotus feet during their earthly existence .

He is also the curative medicine for those ,

who wish to perform prapatthi at His sacred feet

and that removes their samsAric afflictions . This

sthOthram on Ashtabhuja EmperumAn with His Devi

will confer auspiciousness on this world and its

beings .

 

11) Sri KamAsikAshtakam : SlOkam -8

********************************

 

tvayi rakshathi rakshakai: kimanyai:

tvayi chArakshathi rakshakai: kimanyai:

ithi nischitha dhee: srayAmi nithyam

NruharE VegavathI taDAsrayam tvAm

 

(Meaning ) : On Lord NarasimhA of ThiruvELukkai !

What is the purpose and benefit of other Gods ,

when you have elected to protect us ? None.

What is the use of other Gods , when you have

decided not to come to our rescue ? None.

Understanding this doctrine very clearly ,

I have resolved firmly to seek the succor

of Thou , who resides on the banks of

the river VegavathI .

 

12)Sri ParamArtha Sthuthi: Slokam 6

*********************************

 

krupaNA : sudhiya: krupA sahAyam

SaraNam tvAm RaNapungava prapannA :

apavarga nayAdh anya bhaavA :

varivasyA rasamEkam aadhriyanthE

 

(Meaning ) : Oh Lord who is the foremost

among warriors ! Oh Lord Vijaya RaaghavA

of Thirupputkkuzhi ! The prapannAs , who

comprehend clearly that they are not qualified

to perform Bhakthi Yogam to reach you perform

SaraNAgathi at Your sacred feet driven by

the knowledge that You would protect them

because of Your most merciful nature .

They do not get distracted by other Gods

or any fruits other than Moksham . They

only pray for kaimkarya soubhAgyam here on earth

similar to the one that they covet in Your

parama padham .

 

13: Sri DevanAyaka PanchAsath: slOkam 45

*************************************

 

chithram tvadhIya padha padmarAga parAga yOgAth

yOgam vinApi yugapadh vilayam prayAnthi

vishvanji nirjarapathE sirasi prajAnAm

Vedha: svahastha likithAni dhuraksharANi

 

(Meaning ) : Oh DevanAthA of ThiruvahIndhrapuram !

What a wonder the sacred dust from Your lotus

feet perform ! The Brahma Lipi ( the message

relating to the ills that would befall the people

written by the Brahma Devan with his own hands

at the time of one's birth )is erased instantly

by the contact with the sacred dust particles

associated with Your holy feet . Normally ,

prapannAs perform Bhakthi or Prapatthi Yogam

to erase Brahma Lipi and its ill effects. But ,

in this case , without the benefit of any yogam ,

the dust from Your sacred feet instantaneously

destroys the Brahma Lipi , once it is worn on

the PrapannA's heads .

 

14: Sri Achyutha sathakam : Slokam 15

**********************************

 

na kalu tava sadhrusa abhyadhikA :

nAtha tvamEva SARVALOKA SARANYA:

yEthAvath Jn~Ana saaram ithi

jn~Athum Thridasanaatha ithara vichinthA

 

(Meaning ) : Oh Lord DhaivanAyakA ! Oh Lord

of the Universe ! There is no one , who is

equal or superior to You .You are the refuge

for the entire world and its beings . The whole

research (deliberation )is to understand that

this truth is the essence of what one needs to know.

 

NamO NamO NaarAyaNA !
