Dear krishnabhaktAs:

 

I will start with the actual transliteration of padyamAla from now. Sri

Jayatheertha talks about the manthras to be chanted, (he says manthra starting

with ....), but does not give the actual manthra. To make it easy for the

readers, we have added the manthras. The deva pUja manthras are taken from Deva

Puja Paddhathi, written by Sri Krishnamurthy sharma, UttarAdi Mutt, Triplicane,

Madras. These postings may not contain all the manthras, however, we have added

as much as we can find. Translation of padyamAla was provided by Sri M.S. Katti

and was published by Sriman Madhwa Siddhantonnahini Sabha (SMSO), Chirtanur,

1980. To distinguish, the verses from padyamAla are numbered, while the inserted

manthras are not. Hope it will of benefit to all of you.

 

In service of Sri Hari, Vayu, and Guru

I bow humbly to Lord Narayana, the eternal husband of Shri Lakshmi. I also

pay my due respects to all my preceptors & I shall describe the correct

method of worshipping God in accordance with Tantrasara composed by

shrImadacharya, the foremost devotee of Lord Vishnu.

After bathing, one should bring five or seven different pots of pure water &

keep them in the place of worship. Then he should go & bring flowers for

sacred grass (dhURvA). He should also bring flowers for worship. The

flowers should be fresh & not stale. Flowers that are bought from the

market, that are stolen from some place are to be discarded. They should be

never carried in a piece of cloth. They should be taken from one's own

garden or from a forest. They should not be obtained through a shudra.

Flowers fallen on the ground should be discarded. They should not be

carried in hand or in a castor leaf.

Thus one should assemble according to his ablility all the requisites of

worship like arghya, pAdhya. One should take another bath. Doing aachamana

he should go near the threshold of the God's room. There he should worship

the doorkeepers of the Lord's room in the four directions. Jaya & Vijaya

towards the east, Bala & Prabala towards the south, Nanda & Sunanda towards

the west & Kumuda & Kumudaksha towards the North.

After obtaining the permission of all the doorkeepers, one should recite the

vAyumanthra & open the door

Then

clapping the hands thrice, one should enter the room with right foot inside

without touching the threshold. He should then light the lamp or improve it

reciting the hymn

|| 12 ||

 

The obstacles lying overhead in the sky, those in the space round about &

those on the ground should be dispelled respectively by glance, throwing of

a flower & stamping on the ground thrice. The evil spirits should be

banished by reciting the hymn apasaRpanthu ye bhUthA. Then all the

directions should be sealed to prevent the reentry of the spirits by showing

nArAchamudhrA an arrow like formation of the fingers.

 

Mantra:

|| 13 ||

 

By reciting the three hymns beginning from apaivA, ebhya:, EvApithre the

worshipper should remove the odour of human beings from the place of

worship.

 

We don't have the manthra begining with apaivA, however here are the manthras

begining with ebhya and Evapithre:

 

Manthras:

yEbhya mAthA madhupathpinvathe paya: pIyUSham dhyouradhithi radhribaRhA:

|| 14 ||

 

The worshipper should arrange a curtain between himself & the God. Then he

should climb over the God's dias & recite the brahmApArasthOthra.

Gods should come here to receive the worship & demons should clear away from

this place. With this purpose, one should ring the bell as an invitation to

the gods. Knowingly or unknowingly, if the bell is not rung then the place

of worship would be the place of dwelling for the demons & the evil spirits.

One should therefore ring the bell with particular care.

 

thathO javanikAm thyakthvA niRmAlyam visRujEththa:

|| 17 ||

 

After removing the curtain, the worshipper should remove all the stale

things from the God. The sandal wood paste, flowers etc that were offered

on the previous day should be removed & a preliminary cleansing bath should

be given to the God.

 

snAnapAthram thaThA pItam yaThAsThAnam nidhAya cha

|| 18 ||

 

The bathing pot & seat or pedastal should be placed in their proper

positions. Then the worshipper should recite the verse uththappojvala &

imagine that the God with his retinue is seated in a golden maNtapa, studded

with jewels.

 

adhyAsIthAsanE svasThO hyapakrAmamthvithIrayan

|| 19 ||

 

Calm & composed, the worshipper should be seated on a firm seat. He should

dispel all the evil spirits by reciting the verse apakrAmanthu bhUthA.....

by making a sharp sound (ChOtikA) with his fingers.

 

Mantra:

apAdrAmanthu yE bhUthA: kRurAs chaiva thu rAkShasA: |

pRuThvi thvayEthi manthreNa pRuThivIm prARThayEththatha:

|| 20 ||

 

Then reciting the verse pRuthvi thvayA dhRuthA lOkA, he should pray the

Goddess Earth. He should imagine himself to be seated on the back of a

Tortoise in the middle of the Moon.
