Rg Veda Manthram & Three Important SthOthrams

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear BhakthAs:

 

There is a Rg Veda Manthram that triggered my thoughts

on the importance of sthOthrams about SrIman NaarAyaNan.

This manthram is housed in the seventh canto of Rg Vedam

( VII.32.13):

 

mantram akharvam sudhitham supESasam dhadhAtha yag~iyEshvA

poorviscchana prasitayas taranti tam IndhrE karmaNA bhuvath

 

(Extended Meaning): oh Mumukshu ! Recite a hymn (eulogy)

that is deep in artham , well composed(uttered) and

which is auspicious by all counts(SravaNa MangaLam ,

Manana mangaLam et al). To such a bhAgyasaali , the snares

and the bonds of the world will stay away ( will not

entangle him ) since he has surrendered himself at

the sacred feet of the Supreme Being thru his devotion

and MahA VisvAsam .

 

Swamy Desikan's sthOthrams are in this category .

 

Swamy Desikan himself was inspired by other

sthOthrams of PoorvAchAryALs like Swamy ALavanthAr,

KurEsar , ParAsara Bhattar and of rishis .

 

adiyEn will focus on three sthOthrams .Two of them are

in SrI VishNu DharmOtharam: (1) Srimath ApAmArjana

SthOthram: Excerpts (2) SrI MaangaLya Sthavam .

 

The third one is JithanthE Sthothram . It has Vedic

links. Swamy Desikan quotes some of these slOkams

in his magnum opus , Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram.

 

Does anyone have a full Sanskrit text of JithanthE

SthOthram and/or PeriyavaacchAn PiLlai's Commentary?

Please let adiyEn know. Thanks in advance.

 

In the coming days , adiyEn will post articles on them

and seek SrI OppilA-appan's anugraham to engage in this

Kaimkaryam .
