Dear BhakthAs of Sri RanganAyaki ThAyAr:

 

In the 55th slOkam , Swamy Parasara Bhattar

states that all the modes of Lord's Vaibhavam

is only a miniscule of the bliss arising from His

leelA vilAsam (love play ) with Her ( "Bhagavatha:

SarvaprAkara vibhava: api Lakshmi vilAsa-lava

anubhavE na paryAptha:" ):

 

dasa-satha-pANi-paadha-vadhanAkshi mukhai:akhilai:

api nija-vaisvaroopya vibhavai: anroopa guNai:

avataraNair-athaisccha rasayan KamithA KamalE

kvachana hi vibrama bhramimukhE vinimajjathi thE

 

(Meaning): Oh Periya PirAtti ! Your beloved One displays

Visvaroopam with thousands of hands , legs, faces,eyes

and other limitless limbs . His auspicious attributes

are limitless (anantha kalyANa guNams). In addiiton to

Visvaroopam , he takes other avathArams such as the four

VyUhAvathArams , another one as VishNu among the Trinity

and yet another one as UpEndran as well as mathsya-

KoormAdhi avathArams and enjoys Himself and makes

all chEthanams happpy. Inspite of all these

avathAra aanandhams , He has the greatest of bliss

when He engages in srungAra leelai with You. The other

aanandhAnubhavams pale into insignificance before

the bliss of srungAra leelai with You . He gets lost in

the whirl pool of that bliss . You are a flood of

great bliss . In that flood of bliss , His other

aanandhams get subsumed as a fraction of a drop.

 

Additional Comments:

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

Oh KamalA PirAti ! VedAs & Sruthis salute Your dear

Lord as " Sahasra sIrshA Purusha:, SahasrAksha:

Sahasra Paadh" and as " anantha baahu-udhara vakthra

nEthram " in the context of His visvaroopam. He enjoys

revealing His Visvaroopam and gladdens the mind of those ,

who are blessed to see it as Arjunan in the battle field

of Kuru KshEthram .

 

The joyous and awe struck Arjuna broke into sthuthi

of this extraordinary visva roopam this way:

 

anEka baahu udhara vakthra nEthram

pasyAmi ThvAM SarvathO-anantha-roopam

naantham na madhyam na punastavAdim

pasyAmi VisvEsvara Visvaroopa --GIthai: 13.16

 

(meaning ): With multifold arms , stomachs , mouths

and eyes , I witness Your infinite form on all sides.

I see no end , no middle nor the beginning too of You.

Oh Lord of the Universe ! Oh You of universal form!

I behold only Your infinite form on all sides with

endless limbs .

 

You are aadhi-madhyAntha rahithan.You are anantha

veeryan. With Your own tEjas , You are warming

the universe (SvatEjasA visvamidham tapantham

ThvAm pasyAmi).

 

In addition to the Visvaroopam that He delights in

revealing , He also enjoys taking the four vyUhAvathArams

as Para VaasudEvan, Pradhyumnan , SankarshaNan and

Aniruddhan. He takes the VishNu avathAram to protect

the Universe and enjoys those leelAs. he incarnates as

dasAvathAran and Your PirAtti takes on the appropriate

matching roopam as Your consort for Your sport.

 

All these enjoyments that you experience is one thing .

Your love play with Your Devi and the aaanandham

that You experience from that love play is some thing

else again. You are lost in that aanandham . The other

aanandhams (arising from the leelA chEshtithams of

Viswa roopam , VyUhAvathArams ,DasAvathArams) become

a drop in the flood of the bliss experienced by You

during Your leelA vilAsams with Your Piratti.You are

drowned in that aanandhAnubhavam like one being caught

in a powerful whirlpool and losing His foothold.One

aanandham is vast like the ocean ; the other aanandhams

combined together are like a dew drop in magnitude compared

to the LeelA vilAsa aanandham generated by the DEvi's

amorous sport with Her Lord (SamudhrE ThushAra iva).

Such is the bewitching power of Sri RanganAyaki

over her Lord , which makes Him appear like some one

swept in a flood and swirling inside a whirlpool

formed by that flood.
