kAmitARthagaLa = desired wealth and pleasure (these gifts are destructible)

shrI mukuMdana = name of shrI Hari

parama = exceptionally

maMgaLanAma = auspicious names of ParamAtama

narakastharanu = those in Hell

salahitu = suggest & take them away from hell

pAmarara = muddle headed person

paMDitarenisi = projects them as intelligent

puruShARtha = i.e. the four values like dhaRma, aRtha, kAma & mOxa

koDutihudu = would give

 

 

Among the various effects of samudramathana, iMdra was given charge of

three things i.e. kAmadhEnu (a cow), kalpavR^ixa (a tree) and chiMtAmaNi

(a source of jewel / wealth) and these were kept in Heaven by the

authorization of ParamAtma.

 

These have the capacity to satisfy all the needs and wishes of the

dEvata-s in Heaven who do pUja to them but not for others. However, the

auspicious name of ParamAtma is the saviour of all. The devotees who

chant His name are rewarded with puruShARtha-s and the uneducated or

muddle headed devotees are transformed to knowledgeable persons. VAlmIki

R^iShi is an example of this. VAlmIki was indeed poorly educated but He

chanted and understood the meaning of the name shrI rAma very well and

he later went to write the entire rAmayaNa and he was recognized as

VAlmIki R^iShi.

 

Another example is that of the tri-lOki voyager nArada muni. He was

visited yama lOka where he saw that the people were suffering from

different punishments. He loudly called the name of nArAyana. The good

persons who were suffering there and heard the name of nArAyaNa were

immediately released of their sufferings.

 

kAmadhEnu, kalpavR^ixa, and chiMtAmaNi are not self-made things which

provide all the wishes of its devotees but these also act upon the

directions of ParamAtma. ParamAtma bestows benefits thru them

(kAmadhEnu, kalpavR^ixa, and chiMtAmaNi). If the things which are under

the control of ParamAtma have so much excellent powers then we can

surely imagine the powers of ParamAtma who controls them. This is what

JagannAtha dAsa is trying to explain.
