bhOgyAmrutam - puruShaha

[Guest guest]

puruShaha (star-aSwini) = puru sanOti iti puruShaha = The one who gives in

abundance.

 

pASuram : iraNDAm tiruvandAdi - 38 (bUttatALwAr tiruvaDigaLE SaraNam)

 

samanvayam with pASuram : His total grace is required for fulfilling all our

good wishes. Our mother LakShmi is instrumental in giving them. The one who

gives them is the nArAyaNa. We on our part have to just recite His divine names.

No additional effort is required from our side. Infact, this secret was

disclosed by the vEda itself. Our mother just signals her wishes through the

movement of her eye brows and He at once fullfills all our good wishes. And

hence, the puruSha sUktam declares Him as the one and only 'puruSha'.

 

pASuram :

yemakkenru iru nitiyum yEmAntu irAtE

Not mistaking the wealth to be the protection

 

tamakkenrum SArvam arindu namakkenrum mAdavanE yenrum manam paDaittu

Knowing well in the heart that mAdhava is our greatest wealth and our sole

refuge.

 

martru avan pEr OtuvatE nAvinAL Ottu

And reciting His names with your tongue is the vEdam.

 

Detailed Interpretation :

1) Not mistaking the wealth to be the protection : We consider that, which

fulfills our wishes and removes our difficulties/dislikes as our protection.

Never mistake it to be the wealth that we possess. It is only due to His

bountiful grace on us.

 

2) Knowing well in your heart that mAdhava is the sole refuge & the greatest

wealth :

Knowing well that our mother SrI dEvi is instrumental in giving us the

protection and our father is our sole protector ;

 

3) And reciting His divine names with your tongue is the vEdam : To please that

Lord srIman nArAyaNa, all that we need to do is to recite His divine names with

our tongue. Thats all. Just reciting His name with the tongue (even though we

may not believe it in our hearts) is all we need to do. He showers all the good

wealths on us bountifully. The effort on our part (if we feel so) is negligible

and the results are huge and ever lasting.

 

If this is the case with us, then what to say about those who sing His glories

and names with utmost love. He makes those fortunate souls enjoy His endless

kaLyANa guNAs and He finally gives Himself to them.

 

Thats why our swAmi is the one and only 'puruSha'. - The one who gives in

abundance.
