Sri HayagrIva SthOthram: Part XXI-SlOkam 11

[Guest guest]

SriamthE RaamAnujAya nama:

 

Dear BhakthAs:

 

In the eleventh slOkam , Swamy Desikan

reveals that Sri HayagrIvan is of the form of

PraNavam , which is the source of all

letters and the underlying cause of

the Universe .

 

This slOkam is as follows:

 

"Yanmoolameedhruk prathibhAthi tatthvam

yaa moolam aamnAya mahAdhrumANAm

tatthvEna jaananthi visuddha SatthvA:

thAmaksharamAthrukAm thvAm "

 

(meaning): Oh Lord HayagrIvA ! This prapancham

(universe)is made up of devAs, humans, animals,

plants et al and divides in the form of agni,aakAsam ,

vaayu , jalam and bhUmi Tatthvams. They have to be

created with the help of the VedAs, which in turn have

many SaakhAs (branches or rescensions ).These VedAs are

like big trees with many branches. The principal

root for all these VedAs is the manthram celebrated

as PraNavam. This PraNavam , which is recognized as

"yEkAksharam" is indestructible aksharam and

is the foremost among letters (akshara maathrukA) .

The righteous ones correctly comprehend through

Tatthva Jn~Anam that You are the the PraNava svarUpi .

They also understand You as the collection or

assembly of all the aksharams as well .They thus

recognize that PraNavam (Yourself) is the source

or origin of all letters and VidhyAs.

 

Sri D.Ramaswamy Iyengar states that only those versed

in Mantra Saastram can understand the full meaning

of the HayagrIva sthOthram in general and this slOkam

in particular.

 

Swamy Desikan as Sarva Tanthra Svatanthrar had

full command of the Manthra Saasthram and particularly

Sri HayagrIva Manthram to complete his avathAra

Kaaryam of defeating avaidhika Mathams and to establish

Sri VisishtAdhvaitham as the parama Vaidhika Matham .

His Satha dhUshaNi is a classic example for the abundance

of salutations to the hEshA hala hala manthra sabdham

of Sri HayagrIvan.One comes across references to

passages from Sri HayagrIva SthOthram or the tatthvams

behind the sthOthra Vaakhyams quite often in Satha DhUshaNi.

Such Examples are in the follwing Vaadhams of

Satha DhUshaNi: 1 (samAhara saamnAm --hEshA hala hala:,

the third slOkam of Sri HayagrIva sthOthram ),

9 , 11 , 14 , 15 ,18 , 19 , 29 , 34 ,36 , 38 ,

42 , 43 , 49 and 50.

 

Sri HayagrIva BhagavAn sat on the throne of

Swamy Desikan's tongue (JihvAgra SimhAsanam)

and helped him to defeat all the contestants

in the debates relating to Para Matha Bhangam .

 

AdiyEn concludes this posting with a prayer

from Sri HayagrIva Abhigamanam ( arrival) :

 

Sriman LakshmI Hayamukha vibhO svIkurushva-archanam mama

Srimath tEham charaNa kamalam samsrayan saadhu yaachE

Indhu: syandhAdhika subha sudhA saara rUpam thvadhIyam

rUpam chitthE lasathu mahitham sundaram sEndhiram mE

 

(meaning ): Oh Lord LakshmI HayagrIvA ! Please accpet

adiyEn's aarAdhanam and archanams . AdiyEn besseches

humbly Your auspicious , lotus feet as my refuge !

The lustre of Your roopam far exceeds that of

the nectarine rays of the Moon . May the Majestic

and the most beautiful roopam of Yours reside

always in my mind !

 

Please add PraNavam in front of the following
