SrI Sudarsana Sathakam : Part I

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Jaya Jaya SrI Sudarsana !

 

Let us invoke Sri Sudarsana Bhagavaan and start with

the Taniyan for SrI Koora NaarAyana Jeeyar, the author

of this powerful sthOthram:

 

RangEsa vij~napthi karAmayasya

chakAra ChakrEsanuthim nivrutthayE

SamAsrayEham varapooraNIm ya:

Tamm Koora-NaarAyana nAmakam munim

 

(meaning): adiyEn seeks the refuge of SrI Koora NaarAyana

Jeeyar , who composed the Sudarsana sathakam , which fulfills

all wishes. This SthOthra grantham about SrI Sudarsna

BhagavAn cured the illness of Thiruvaranga PerumAL arayar.

 

Special Notes:

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

Thiruvaranga PerumAL arayar is one of the five

AchAryAs of EmperumAnAr. At one time , he was

unable to perform his regular Kaimkaryam to Lord

RanganAtha. SrI Koora NaarAyaNa Jeeyar was a direct

disciple of AchArya RaamAnuja just as KurEsar from

the same village of Kooram was . KurEsar used to tease

Koora NaarAyaNa Jeeyar about the need for any manthram

other than AshtAkshari for a Prapannan. Koora NaarAyaNa

Jeeyar used to respond with the statement that Sudarsana

Manthram will have a role to play at the right time.

 

When Thiruvaranga perumAL Arayar fell ill and was

incapacittaed , then KurEsar (SrIvathsAnga Misrar)

came running to Koora NaarAyana Jeeyar and aksed him to

intervene with Sudarsana Manthram to help Arayar .

Koora NaarAyana Jeeyar composed this Sathakam and

prayed to Lord Sudarsana with the help of VaidhikAs

at the famous Sannidhi of Lord Sudarsana at SrIrangam

temple. Lo and Behold ! Arayar Swamy was cured of his

incapacitating illness and resumed his interrupted

Kaimkaryam to the Lord. Such is the power of this Sathakam!

P.S: Before we get into the Text of the 100 slOkams of

SrI Sudarsana sathakam , it is customary to recite

Swamy NammAzhwAr"s ThiruvAimozhi decad: 7.4.

adiyEn will translate those eleven Paasurams

next for auspiciousness on the readers and the writer

for kaimkarya Poorthi without vignam.

 

Please recite these eleven paasurams for

success in all of your endeavours !
