bhOgyAmrutam - muktAnAm paramAgatihi

[Guest guest]

muktAnAm paramAgatihi(star-aSwini)

= The highest seekable one (highest goal/parama gati) for the muktAs

 

pASuram : periya tirumozhi - 2-3-6 (Tirumangai ALwAr tiruvaDigaLE SaraNam)

 

samanvayam with pASuram : Those who have attained release from the mundane

attachments are the muktAs. That Lord, Sri Krishna is the supreme goal for such

great ones.

 

pASuram :

 

andakan Siruvan araSar tam araSarku iLayavan |

The blind (DhritarAShtrA's son); king of kings (duryOdhanA) and his brother

(duShyAsanA)

 

 

 

aNiyizhaiyaiccenru | yendamakku urimai Seyyanna ttariyAtu

went to the nicely jewelled Draupadi | and asked her to serve them, unable to

bear this

 

 

 

yemberumAn aruLenna |

(She prayed), "O Lord, protect me" |

 

 

 

Sendamal kuzhalAL alakkaN nUtruvardam | peNDirumaiti nUlizhaippa

Then That Lord took away the grief of the dark tressed Draupadi and cast it upon

the wives of the 100 brothers and made them loose their marriage threads

 

 

 

indiran Siruvan tEr munrinrAnai | tiruvaLLikkENi kkaNDEnE

He drove IndrA's son, ArjunA's chariot | I have seen Him in TiruvaLLikkENi

 

 

 

 

 

Detailed Interpretation with the pASuram :

 

1) The blind DhritarAShtrA's son : The increase in tamOguNa.

 

2) The brother (dushyAsana) of the king of kings (duryOdhana) : The supporter

of rajOguNa.

 

3) Went to the nicely decorated Draupadi : Went to Draupadi, who was nicely

decorated with sattva guNa.

 

4) She was unable to bear their command to serve them :

 

She was destined to serve only Lord SrIman NarAyaNa. Such a divine soul was

being dragged by the foolish ones (duryOdhana and duShyAsana), who commanded her

to serve them.

 

Seeing the inability of her relatives (SarIra bandhUs) in helping her and

realizing that only Lord SrIman NarAyaNa is the true protector and pati of

everyone....

 

5) She prayed for His mercy : "O Lord, your possession is being taken away

from you and is being overpowered by these foolish demons. You are my true owner

and protector and Only you can save me. You have given me a heart which can feel

the pain and a tongue which can pray for your grace. So, I am taking your name

aloud. Kindly show mercy upon me. I cannot give you anything in return. Kindly

protect me".

 

Draupadi attained the state of a muktAtmA here. She had realized that all her

bodily relatives viz husbands, grand father, father in law, friends,

knowledgeable ones, elders etc are of no use in protecting her. The Lord Himself

scripted this situation as it were, to bestow this state upon Draupadi. He

became the sole seekable one to Draupadi, who was now free from all the shackles

of bodily attachments. He didn't let go His devotee's ardent cry.

 

Really, He is the only seekable one to all muktAs (muktAnAm paramAgatihi) and

He is their only protector

 

7) (paramAgati) He took away the grief of Draupadi and gave it to the wives of

the 100 kauravAs and made them loose their marriage threads :

 

The Lord wipes out the grief of the muktAtmAs and distributes it among the ones

(and their relatives) who caused such a grief. The wives of those 100 were

totally sorrow striken. This is the state (gati) attained by those who seek

protection from mere souls like them. On the other hand, those who seek the

supreme Lord as their only protector; those muktAtmAs attain Him.

 

8) The one who drove the chariot of Arjuna (IndrA's son) : Not only does He

protect the muktAtmAs, but He also protects, guides and elevates those who are

related to such great souls. Arjuna, being related to Draupadi got the

gItOpadESam from the Lord and was protected by the Lord.

 

If you want to see such a supremely seekable one (paramAgati)...

 

9) I have seen that Lord at TiruvaLLikkENi : I have seen that supreme Lord who

is the 'muktAnAm paramAgatihi' here at TiruvaLLikkENi. You also do come without

fail and see Him here.

 

Jai Sriman Narayana
