44. suparnamiva cha a:tha:manam mene sa kapikunjarah

 

Hanuman the elephant among monkeys, considered himself to be equal to

Garuda.

 

Cha-and

sah kapikunjarah- that Hanuman who was an elephant among monkeys

mene- considered

a:thma:nam-himself

suparnam iva- as the Garuda.

 

 

Garuda is called suparna. The word is derived as Sobhane parne yasya

sah- one who has beautiful wings, parna means paksha , wing, here.

Garuda is supposed to have golden wings. Another meaning is that pa:ram

nayathi ithi parnah- one who takes across. (vide- Vishnusahsra nama 195)

 

Garuda is identical to the Lord who takes us across the ocean of

samsara. This meaning seems to be more suitable here because Hanuman

also went across the sea and served as su (good)parNa to Seetha and Rama to

cross the sea of sorrow.

 

 

Jai Srimannarayana!
