[ramanuja] Shuklambaradaram Vishnum

[Guest guest]

Namaskarams.

 

We have a very beautiful slokam (second one) in vishnu sahasranamam which

invokes the grace of Vishwaksenar (otherwise also called as Senai Mudaliar).

 

yasya sthiravikrAtyA parisaktyA parasthatam

visvam nignathi satatham vishwaksenam tama asrayE.

 

The slokam suklambaratharam ........ upa santhayE invokes the blessings of

Lord Vishnu meaning :

 

suklam - white

ambaram - cloth

tharam - dressed in (white cloth)

vishnum - vishnu (all prevading)

shashivarnam - darkish blue colour

chaturbujam - who has four hands

prasanna vathanam - who has happy blissful face (muka mandalam)

dyayEth - grace me

sarava - all

vigna - difficulties

upa santhayE - over come

 

The Lord Vishnu who is dressed in white cloth and who resides everywhere

(vishnu) and who is darkish blue in colour and who has four hands and who

has a blissful face, please grace me to overcome all difficulties (the karma

I am going to do).

 

Best regards
