Sri GuNa rathna Kosam : part XXIV-- SlOkam 15

[Guest guest]

Sri RanganAtha Mahishyai Nama:

 

Dear BhakthAs :

 

In the fifteenth slOkam , Sri Bhattar points out

the assembly of the greatest wealth and auspiciousness

in this world are but a miniscule portion of Sri RanganAyaki " s

immeasurable wealth and auspiciousness.

 

The fifteenth slokam carrying these thoughts is as follows:

 

aakugrAma niyamakAdhapi vibhOrAsarva nirvAhakAth

Eisvaryam YadhihOtthara-GuNam Srirangabharthu: priyE!

tungam mangaLm ujjvalam garibhavath puNyam puna: paavanam

Dhanyam yatthadhasccha veekshaNabhuvastE panchashA viprusha:

 

(Meaning by Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan ): Oh Dear Consort

of RanganAthA ! Starting from the headship of a cluster of

villages , going to the seat of BrahmA , who presides over

a vast world ,

 

the affluence and power authority ,

the mammothness of Mount Meru and the like ,

the lustrous gem stones of great value,

the heavy HimAlayAs and similar mountains,

the potent rituals coming under the class of DharmAs ,

the holy ganges , similar rivers and centers which confer sanctity,

 

and ,in short , all things coming under the category

of lucky , luck-conferring and blessed ones--

 

all are but equivalent to five or six drops in

the fountain flow (KatAksha PravAham )from you.

YOU ARE THE SOURCE SPOT FOR ALL THAT IS GOOD ,

HOLY AND AUSPICIOUS.
