bhOgyAmrutam - sAkShi

[Guest guest]

sAkShi(star-aSwini) = svayam sAkShAtkarOti iti; The one who witnesses.

 

pASuram : mUrAn tiruvandAdi - 15 ( pEyALwAr tiruvaDigaLE SaraNam )

 

samanvayam with pASuram : He is lying on the Adi SESha in the kShIra sAgaram to

see and bless all of these worlds. Thus He observes and protects me (and

everyone). But, He has also made my heart as His bed and is lying on it just to

observe me in extreme close up and protect me with extreme care.

 

pASuram :

paNinduyarnda pAva | ppaDutiraikaL mOda

With the sounds made by the rise and fall of the deep ocean waves.

 

paNinda paNamaNi kaLAlE aNindu

On the coiled and nicely decorated serpent

 

angu anandanaNai kiDakkumammAn

The Lord who reclines on the AdiSESha there (in the kShIra sAgaram)

 

aDiyEn manandan aNai | kiDakkum vandu

Comes and sleeps in the heart of this dAsa!! (what a wonder!!!)

 

Detailed Interpretation :

1) The Lord who reclines on the nicely decorated AdiSESha amidst the sounds of

waves : Why is He reclining on the AdiSESha in the kShira sAgaram?. It is to

witness and protect all these worlds. Not only does He take care of the nityAs

and the muktAs, but He protects everyone/everything (including me) in all these

worlds. This is possible only for Him as He is the sAkShi - There is nothing

beyond His vision.

 

2) He has come and made the heart of this dAsa as His bed!! - Just to observe

me in extreme close up and thus give full protection to me, He has made my heart

as His abode. He loves me to the core. So, He is taking care of me both from

inside and outside. He is watching me from the kShIra sAgaram and has made my

heart too as His abode.

Like a mother or a father enjoy watching their child play He

is watching me and protecting me. Like a lover boy who watches His beloved wife

working in the kitchen from His bed, my Lord is lovingly watching me from His

bed and is taking care of me.

We do not call anyone who keeps watching us as sAkShi. The

sun, the moon, the stars, the sky, the trees etc are also the ones who see

continuously. But the one who conscientiously watches us and shields us with

unbounded and unconditional Love; who has nothing beyond His vision; who showers

His blessings and gives joy to us thorugh His loving glances - That Lord is the

one who is to be really called - sAkShi
