SlOkam 93:

 

This is one of the most moving prayers that we should include in one's nityAnusandhAnam .

 

(Meaning): Oh Most Merciful One (DayALO) ! Oh PeraruLALaa ! Oh the ocean of forbearance (Kshamaa NidhE) ! Oh Lord who confers boons and especially auspicious boons for all bhakthAs (ViSEshatO Viswajaneena ) ! Oh Lord who grants the varams that people desire (Visvata)! Oh Lord who understands what would result in hitam for Your bhaktAs and grant those boons ( Hitaj~na) ! Oh Omniscient One ( Saravaj~na) ! Oh Omnipotent One , who is able to carry out anything You wish through Your valour ( Samagra Saktika ) ! Oh VaradharAja ! Please take me away from engagement in sinful acts and bless adiyEn only to be Your DhAsan ( Maam prasahya tE dhAsyam yEva prApaya) !

 

(Commentary): In the previous slOkam , KurEsar said that he has sought the Lord ( VaraNam) to have His blessed darsanam ( saakshAthkAram). We may be led to think from that request that KurEsar wanted his physical eye sight back . To avoid any confusion in this matter , KurEsar hurries to say that he only desires the dhAsyam of the Lord to perform kaimkaryams to Him . This prayer is like Swamy NammAzhwAr's prayer for serving the Lord ( ThiruvAimozhi: 10.4.6) : " thoNDE seythu yenRum thozhuthu vazhiozhuha paNDE Paraman paNittha paNi vahayE ".

 

DayaaLO ! = When one examines the meaning of the uttara kaNDam of Mantra Ratnam ( dhvayam) , we understand that this sambhOdhanam addresses the Lord's consort , PerumdEvi ThAyAr as well ( KaruNAmiva RoopiNam , dEvyA kaaruNyaroopayaa , krupayaa ParyapAlayath ).

 

KshamaanidhE = This samBhOdhanam also refers to Bhumi DEvi ( SrI BhUmi Sahitam Harim ) and ANDAL (SaakshAth Kashamaam). In PaadhukA Sahasram , Swamy Desikan alludes to the guNam of Kashamaa (yath krupaa pratighAtAnAm Kshamayaa vaaraNam maya). In Kshamaa ShOdasi , we find another reference to the Devi's Kshama : " Thvath svAtnatryam apOhya kalpita jagath kshEmAtihrudhyaa svata: KshaantistE karuNaa sukhee vijayatAm kshEmAya sarvAtmanAm).

 

ViSEshata Viswajaneena = SrivatsAnkAcchAr quotes many pramANams to elaborate on this unique guNam of the Lord of Hastigiri:

( " anAlOchita viSEshaaSEsha lOka SaraNya " --AchArya RaamAnuja) , " ViSvEbhyO janaEbhYO hitam " kurvan . He will never grant any inauspicousness , if the bhaktan requests it ( YaachitOapi sadhaa bhaktai: naahitam kaarayEth Hari:).

 

Hitajn~a = He always blesses His bhaktAs with the supreme boons ( hitatamam). KurEsar's prayer reminds us of Swamy Desikan's prayer to Trivikraman of ThirukkOvalUr : " Yann-manyasE mama hitam tadhupAdadheethaa ".

 

Sarvajn~a: He is Omniscinet ( Sarvajn~a: Sarvavidh as saluted in Sri VishNu sahasra Naamams) . Kaliyan teases the Lord of IndhaLUr about His sarvajn~atvam : " nummadiyAr yellArOdum okka yeNNi irundheer ! adiyEnai nallaraRiveer ! theeyAraRiveer ! namakku ivvulahil yellaam aRiveer !yeethE aRiyeer IndhaLUreerE ! ). He is not only a Sarvajn~an but He is a KaaruNeekan ( Sarvajn~Opi hi ViSvESa: sadhaa KaaruNikOapi sann).

 

Samagra saktika: = Abode of all types of inherent capabilities and the power ( sakti) to execute them ( Paraasya Saktir-vividhaiva SrUyatE svaabhvikee ) .

 

The assembly of samBhOdhana saBdhams provides a beautiful summary of DhvayArtham : Uttara KaNDam provides the NaarAyaNa SaBdhArtham , " dayaa nidhE Kshamaa NidhE " covers the SrI saBdhArtham , " dhAsyam Praapaya " takes care of the Chathurty 's artham and "Prasahya Me " includes the Nama: saBdhArtham . ,

 

NamO SrI VaradarAjAa!
