Sri NaarayaNIyam : 99th Dasakam -SlOkam 2

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs :

Today adiyEn will focus on the second slOkam

and discuss its Veda Sambhandham .

 

The slOkam states that the AarAdhanam of BhagavAn

with a devout frame of mind would confer on one

every kind of auspiciousness :

 

AadhyAyAaEshakarthrE prathinimisha naveenAya BharthrE vibhUthEr

 

BhakthAthmA VishNavE ya: pradisathi havirAdhIni Yaj~nArchanAdhou

 

KrishNAdhyam janma yO vaa mahadhiha mahathO varnayEth sOyamEva

 

preetha: pUrNo yasObhisthvarithamabhisarEth prApyamanthE padham thE

 

(Meaning ) : Oh GuruvAyUrappA ! Thou art the One , who

is the primeveal, Adhi Purushan ; Thou art the KaaraNam

for this jagath and its vyApAram ; Thou art the One ,

who presents Yourself afresh in lovely an ddifferent

forms every minute for those ,who lovingly meditate on You ;

Thou art the Lord of MahA LakshmI . Those who perform AarAdhanam

for You or offer Havis in their Yaj~nams dedicated to You or

those who read with bhakthi Your avathAra charithrams

associated with your RaamA-KrishNa avathArams and

describes them to others are blessed with happiness ,

contentment and become yasasvins ( possesors of

undying fame ).At the end of his alloted time on

Your Leela VibhUthi here, that blessed soul reaches

Your Parama Padham to offer uninterrupted Kaimkaryam

to You there in the company of other MukthAs .

 

The Rg Veda manthram connectd to this slOkam is :

 

ya: poorvyAya vEdhasE naveeyasE

sumajjAnayE VishNavE dhadhAsathi

yO jAthamasya mahathO mahi Bhravath-

sEdhusravObhiryujyam chidamyasath

---Rg Vedam : 2nd Ashtakam,2nd chapter,26th Vargam

 

(Meaning): The devotee who peforms Aaradhanam to the Lord and

offers havis to Him , who is the antharyAmi of the Sun,

who is the primeveal, adhi purushan , yet also the most

newly born One (because of the many new ways He presents

Himself to the devotees ), the self-born and the devotee

who describes the great birth and charithams of the primeval

One , that type of devotees alone would attain non-diminishing

wealth and ultimately reach the high status of residence

in the greatest of sthAnams (Sri Vaikuntam ).

 

Ya : VishNavE DhadhAsi is a key passage .

The other key passage in this ved manthram is :

" sravObhir yujyam cidabhyasat sravObhih "

This means the devotee , who hears (sravaNam ),

thinking nad realizing the Lord all the time

attains Parama Padham . Sri NaarAyaNa Bhattadhiri

captured the essence of the Bhaagavatha SlOakm ,

which originated from Veda VyAsar and retained

the Veda Saaram in his eulogy of Sri GuruvAyUrappan .
