Sri Alavandhaar's SthOthra Rathnam- verse 18- You are the ocean of innumerable kalyANa guNAs!

[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

With such wonderful Lord of huge grandeur, one can

never access as He is the Lord of worlds and of all-

one may wonder. No never. He is also easily accessible

and sowlabhyan- says Alavandhar.

 

vasee vadhaanyO guNAvaan ruju suchir

murdhur dhayaaLur madhurassThiras samah:

kruthI kruthagna tvamasi svabhAvatha:

samastha kalyANa guNAmruthOdhaDhi: [18]

 

as mentioned earlier- all is under Your control and

are of your property and You are attracted and lured

to bhakthas (devotees) [vasee]; most benevolent

[vaLLal] [vadhaanya:]; One with most auspicious

attributes [guNavaan] especially of sowseelya,

sowlabhya guNAs; [mingling and mixing even with the

lowliest]; not inconsistent with manas, vaak and body

(mind, body and speech)- all act in alignment [ruju:];

one with the purest mind [manassuddhi] [suchi:]; Not

seeing and exposing the defects of people [esp.

bhakthas but their good deeds] [mrudhu]:

One who is always focussed on removing the dhukham of

others [dayALu:] most desirable [madhura: ] impartial

to all irrespective caste, creed, race or sex [sama:]

Having everything ready for Him [kruthee]; not

forgetting what little acts that we do [even if it is

minor nature, He considers them as great and does not

even forget at all times such minor good deed done by

us- a small Anjali or uttering a sloka etc.. ]

[kruthagna:] – Such You- out of Your own accord and

Nature, without anybody’s influence or order at all,

with no other reason, shine resplendently as the huge

ocean of nectar of innumerable most auspicious

attributes [anantha kalyANa guNArutha udhaDhi:

 

Kruthee kruthagna- also may mean: In spite of having

done everything all by yourself, still You consider as

if your bhakthas do and do not forget that at all;

always remember their small good deeds.

 

He is the Lord of infinite kalyANa guNAs. The

Chandogya Upanishad says: ya aathma apahapatapaapmaa

vijarO vimrutyr visOkO vijighatsO’pipaasah satyakaamah

satya sakalpah: That it does not become old; It is

free from Sins; free from death, grief, from hunger

and thirst; and its desire and will are real; Brahman

is also the abode of all auspicious attributes

[qualities];

 

Thus Brahman [Lord Sriman Narayanan] is akhila kalyANa

guNakara; and ahilyEya prathyaneekan; Brahman is

devoid of evil and imperfections and is the abode of

all eternal, infinite auspicious qualities. This is

called ubhayalinghathva of Brahman and is affirmed by

Sutrakara also . [bramasUthra 3-2-11]
