Post 3

 

Dear srivaishNava perunthagaiyeer,

 

Continuing the 'sooryasya soorya' topic, 'aadhithyaanaam aham vishNu' says

krishNa in bhagavath geethaa,

meaning- among aadhithyaas I am vishNu.

 

Who are these other aathidhyaas. That doubt in the minds of our readers can be

there and to answer that,

here is the 12 aadhithyaas list.

[This I already included in my Sree VishNu Sahasra naamam series of posts in the

bhakti-list].

1. aruNa:

2. soorya:

3. Bhaanu:

4. thapana:

5. chandhramas

6. mithra:

7. hiraNya veerya:

8. ravi:

9. aryamaa:

10. gaBhasthi:

11. dhivaakara:

12. vishNu:

 

When krishNa is one of the aadhithyaas as vishNu, there has to be many naamaas

in the sri vishNu sahasra naamam referring to that aadhithya or ravi - meaning

sun.

 

here is that list of the 16 naamaas meaning sun.

1. Om aadhithyaaya nama: -- naamaa no. 39 in slOkam 5 and no. 568 in slOkam 60

2. Om BhaanavE nama: -- naamaa no.126 in slOkam 14 and

no. 285 occurring in slOkam 31

3. Om Bhaaskara dhyuthayE nama: -- naamaa no.283 in slOkam 30

4. Om bruhadh BhaanavE nama: -- naamaa no. 335 in slOkam 36

5. Om sahasra amsave nama: -- naamaa no. 484 in slokam 51

6. Om jyOthi: aadhithyaaya nama: -- naamaa no.569 in slOkam 60

7. Om thEjO vrushaaya nama: -- naamaa no.763 in slOkam 81

8. Om arkaaya nama: -- naamaa no. 801 in slOkam 85

in Bhakti list or Sri krishnamachariar swamy's postings on SVSN].

 

Such is the glory of the sun. But raamaa, the sooryasya soorya, can not even be

tormented by that sun's rays,

states mother sumithra.

 

See slokam

vyaktham raamasya vijnaaya soucham maahaathmyam uththamam |

na gaathram amsubhi: soorya: samthaapayithum arhathi ||

 

srimadh raamaayaNam ayOdhyaa kaaNdam 2 - sargam 44- slokam 8

 

vijnaaya = having known

soucham = the purity

uththamam = the mighty

maahaathmyam = magnanimity

raamasya = of raamaa

soorya: = the sun

vyaktham = will assuredly

na arhathi = not be able

santhaapayithum = to torment

gaathram = his body

amsubhi: = with his rays.

 

Meaning: having known the purity and magnanimity of raamaa, the sun assuredly

will not be able to torment raamaa's body with his rays.

 

Points: 1. Is it a glorious consoling word from the stepmother to the crown

mother about her son, that too in a consoling situation on separation from such

a glorious son.

 

2. Or is it really reflects the glory of the son, for the nature of sun is

heating - that is why the name thapana: - that nature will change in front of

the sun says mother. Further she says the moon and wind will also serve him.

 

3. Actually these are the points to be enjoyed in raamaayaNam for most of us

know the story

 

See further how the nature [wind, moon etc] serves such a raamaa - as foretold

by mother sumithra.
