eraDu kOshada = annamayakOsha indicating sthiti and prANamayakOsha indicating apa

oLahorage = inside (aMtastha) and outside (bahishcha)

saMkaruShaNa = saMkarushaNa ParamAtma

(saMkaruShaNa means sa =7, M=0, ka=1, ru=2, Sha=6, Na=5 and reading the

values in reverse order we get 562107 rUpa-s)

 

aidu sulaxada = 500000

aravatteraDu sAvirada = 62000

ELadhika shatarUpagaLa = plus 107

dharisi = taking those rUpa-s

karesikoMba = called so

manOmayanu eMdu = as manOmaya

aravidUranu = far away from dOSha-s (VAsudEva ParamAtma)

(VAsudEva means vA=4, su=7, dE=3, va=4 and reading this in reverse we get 4374 rUpa-s)

 

IreraDu sAvirada = (2x2)x1000= 4000

munnorAda = 300

mEl nAlkadhika eppattu =  plus 74, thus totally 4374 rUpa-s

 

In this and the next stanza, JagannAtha dAsa explains about manOmayakOsha and vij~nAnamayakOsha.

 

manOmayakOsha

 

This treasury has a higher proportion of ‘tEja’ and supports manas.

 

saMkaRShaNa ParamAtma is the abhimAni for manOmayakOsha.

 

This is enveloped by two reserves:- 

 

The first reserve is made up of aMtaHkaraNa, ahaMkAra, chitta, buddhi, and manas their respective abhimani dEvata-s garuDa, shESha, R^idra, iMdra and kAma pervade along with their consorts perform various tasks.

 

The second reserve is made up of vak, shrOtra, shabda, and AkAsha. And vAgAbhimAni is agni dEvaru (kaRmEMdriya), shrOtrAbhimani is digdEvata-s (j~nAnEMdriya), shabdAbhimAni is prANadEvaru (paMchabhUta) and AkAshAbhimAni is gaNapati (paMchabhUta) respectively.

 

saMkaRShaNa ParamAtma (abhimAni dEvata for manas) is worshipped by the above tatvAbhimani-s. saMkaruShaNa ParamAtma exists  in 562107 khaMDa rUpa-s and does the kriya-s related to manas thru the abhimAni dEvata-s via mukya prANa dEvaru. manOmaya supports our manas. This kOshAbhimAni saMkaruShaNa is called ‘manomaya’.

 

vij~nAnamayakOsha

 

VAsudEva ParamAtma is the abhimAni dEvata for vij~nAnakOsha

 

VAsudEva is far away from any dOsha (meaning He has no dOsha-s at all) and He is the provider of mOxa. He pervades in 4374 rUpa-s.

 

The next verse indeed connects this explanation further.
