Srimath Azhagiya Singar's approaching 75th Birthday completion celebration (Nov 26): Vedic Reflections NavAham (Nine days of salutation based on the Seventh canto Rg Veda Manthrams ): Seventh Day of salutation to the Vaibhavam of HH Sri NaarAyaNa Yat

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Lakshmi Nrusimha BhakthAs:

 

There are many insightful words in

the Rg Vedam in the Sapthama Mandalam .

We covered Four of them in the last two

postings :Usharbhuda:, anthivAma: , SumEdhA

and HiraNyavAsi .

 

These words caught my attention in the context of

my illustrious AchAryan , HH Sri NaarAyana

YathIndhra MahA Desikan's kalyANa gunams .

 

In this seventh day's posting , adiyEn will

focus on three more Saptha ManDalam words

that qualifies Sri NarAyaNa YathIndhra MahA

Desikan as an AchArya Saarvabhouman.

 

1. UrugAya:( Rg Rk VII.100.1)

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

UrugAya: means the One , who is widely renowned .

" UrugAyAya Bahubhi: keerthaneeyAya " is the definition

of this word by Saayanaa .His scholarship is renowned.

His AchAram , anushtAnam and Guru Bhakthi is renowned.

Such is the wide remown of asmath AchAryan .

 

The entire manthram is :

 

nU marthO dayathE sannishyanyO

VishNava UrugAyaya dhAsath

pra ya: sathrAcha manasA yajAtha

yEthAvantham naryam avi-vAsAth

--Rk VII. 100.1

 

(Meaning): " The mortal who covets wealth

has no disppointments , in case he presents

his homage to the widely renowned all-pervading

Lord and in case he worships Him with solely

devoted and dedicated mind. Our reverence to

such a great benefactor of mankind."

 

"Sannishyan" means desirous of wealth (Dhanam Icchan)

and "dhayathE" means presents that wealth. " SatharAcha

manasaa" means with entirley devoted spirit .

 

"yajathE " means adorable worship ( YajAthE prakarshaNE

poojayEth according to Saayanaa ).

 

asmath achAryan through His loving aarAdhanam adoringly

worships MaalOlan every day. He presents his homage

to the widely renowned all-pervading Lord and worships

Him with solely devoted and dedicated mind. He becomes

widely renowned thus and becomes a benefactor

to mankind as a result of that power.

 

2. " Sadharchasam " ( Rk VII.100.3)

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

Sadarchasam means the bright One with hundred

splendours. This Veda manthram celebrates Lord

Thrivikarama VishNu and His grandeur , which

illumines the world with hundred splendours.

This Rk takes the following form :

 

thrir dEva: prithvIm yEsha yEthAm

vi chakramE SATHARCHASAM mahithvA

pra VishNur-asthu tavasas tavIyAan

thvEsham hy asya STHAVIRASYA naama

 

(meaning ): " In all His grandeur , the Lord strides

in three paces (like the celestial Sun ) over this earth,

bright with hundred splendours. May the all-pervading

Lord , most powerful among powerfuls , rule over us.

For, illustrious is the name of this everlasting One."

 

Sthavirasya means the One, who lives forever in human

minds as well as the everlasting Lord. There is no doubt

in my mind about the Vaibhavam of HH Sri NaarAyana

YathIndhra MahA Desikan as the 45th PeetAdhipathi of

Sri Matam.

 

3. Sujanimaa and VayunAni VidvAn

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

As the words of the next manthram adore this nobly born

(Sujanima --Rk VII.100.4) as the knower of sacred customs ,

we acknowledge that he knows all that is worth knowing

( vayunAni VidvAn--Rk VII.100.5).He is indeed an AchArya

Saarvabhouman. Our deep salutations are to Him as

He crosses His 75th birthday mile stone.
