Jagadudarana = He who has kept the unending world in His stomach

ativimala = extremely immaculate and pure

guNarUpagaLana = figure or form constituting jnAnAnaMda, anaMtakalyANaguNa and other natural or unnatural guNAs

Alochanadhi = thinking about it within her capability or understanding (meaning that His devotees think about Him within their limited knowledge)

bhArata = MahAbhArata, which is understood to be the paMchama Veda (fifth Veda)

nigamatatigaLa = knowledge contained in apouruShya VedAs

atikramisi = MahAbhArata and the group of vedAs describes Shri Hari’s guNas (qualities) with understanding, however the meaning contained beyond therein

kriyAvishEShagaLa = while meditating on the various activities of the Lord

bagebageya = variety of

nUtanava kANuta = seeing new things (guNAs)

mige haruShadhim = exasperation and delight

pogaLi = while praising the Lord

higguva = elated with extreme happiness

triguNamAni = the abhimAnidevi of three guNAs i.e. satva, rajas and tamas

mahAlakumi = MahAlaxmI devi ….mahA (above the level of Brahma Rudra etc..)

saMtaisali = please protect us and keep us happy

anudinavu = everyday, every moment  (in today’s context 24/7)

 

MahAlaxmI devi is dependent on ShrI Hari although she has several qualities similar to Lord NArAyaNA. However during praLaya i.e. during annihilation of the world He keeps the entire world in his stomach and protects the same. ShrI Hari has limitless qualities. He has immense qualities which cannot be understood completely by anyone.

 

MahAbhArata, written by VedavyAsa is the jewel of shAstras understood to be the 5th Veda and has the hidden meaning of several prameyAs. Many of the guNAs of ShrI Hari have been explained therein. Although this is a pouruShya graMtha the VEdAs are apouruShya, shR^iti and smR^iti praise the Lord in all sense. MahAlaxmI dEvi has the capability to reflect upon the guNAs of ShrI Hari stated in these works, within her capability of perception. However when she perceives the guNAs of ShrI Hari beyond her insights of Hari then she recognizes that ShrI HarI has a variety of new guNAs. Thus, She discovers his new guNAs very often.

 

Saint PuraMdara dAsa says, “nigamakE silukada agaNita mahimana….”

 

Thus while meditating on various activities of the Lord, She discovers new guNAs and praises the Lord and becomes happy. LaxmI dEvi is the abhmAni dEvatA of the three worldly guNas like sata, raja, tamas. JagannAtha dAsa appeals to this triguNamAni to protect us and keep us happy (chittadali AnaMda sukhavanIvaLu RamA---PuraMdara dAsa).
