makkaLu = children who are engrossed in playing games

maLala = made out of sand

manegaLa mADi = make house like structures

kelavu kAladalADi = play for for sometime

mOdadi = with the same happiness

tuLidu = thump those structures with their feet

keDisuva teradi = destroy them (children have the same amount of happiness while destroying those structures as much as they have at the time of constructing them)

lakumIramaNa = laxmIpati i.e ParamAtma

lOkagaLa = fourteen lOka-s

halavu bageyali = in many different ways

niRmisuva = creates

nishchalanu tAnAgiddu = but He remains unblemished

salahuva = protects

elaruNiyavOl = like a snake protects (Elar = air, uNi =one who swallows air. A snake lives on air)

nuMguvage = for the one who swallows the world (ParamAtma)

ellihudO = will it be there any time (meaning – it will never be there)

sukhaduHkha = pleasure and pain

 

ParamAtma is habituated to the tasks of sR^iShTi, sthiti, and saMhAra, and He has the powers to do these at His own free will. JagannAtha dAsa explains the same with two lovely examples.

 

It is usual for children to construct a hut or house from sand with all pleasure and play around the same with equal happiness. At the end of the game they themselves take the pleasure of destroying the same and while demolishing the same they have no sadness at all. This is their usual behaviour.

 

ParamAtma does not benefit anything from performs sR^iShTi, sthiti, laya. He does not connect Himself to any of the sukha or duHkha resulting from theses activities. This is His usual behaviour. He does all these activities effortlessly. Al this He does for the salvation of the soul. This action is similar to the example of the children making and destroying a house of sand. Just as the children use sand to make those house, in the same way ParamAtma He uses natural difference in guNa-s for sR^iShTi. shrI mahAlaxmI dEvi is the triguNAbhimAni and abhimAni for prakR^iti too. JagannAtha dAsa thus addresses ParamAtma as lakumIramaNa. He thus creates a amazing world without getting distorted and remains tranquil which itself is not be a big challenge for Him but it is most challenging to organisedly run the world thus created with chEtanAchEta-s.

 

JagannAtha dAsa gives another example of elaruNi (Elar = air, uNi =one who swallows air) a snake surviving on air. A snake lays eggs and eats those eggs, which is usual for the snakes. Thus the snake does not have the stigma of killing its own ofsprings. In the same way, ParamAtma creates this world and during laya He is known as “jagadbhuk” and swallows the whole world, keeps it in His belly and all the guNa-s get mixed up there.  The world is created from 24 tatva-s. See list of tatva-s in the reference below.

And He mixes the respective guNa-s with mUla prakR^iti. How can such a detached and bizarre ParamAtma be affected by sukha-duHkha? (Meaning –He is not affected by sukha-duHkha)
