Dear BhakthAs of SundarabAhu PerumAL of ThirumAlirum ChOlai :

 

We will study the SlOkams 24-26 of SundarabAhu Sthavam today .

 

SlOkam 24

**************

sadhA shAdguNyAkhyai : pruTula Bala vij~nAna Sakana

prabhA veeryaiswaryai: avadhi vidhurai : yEdhitha dasam

dhrumasthOma kashamAbhruth parisara mahOdhyAna mudhitham

prapadhyE adhyArooDasriyam imamaham Sundarabhujam

 

(Meaning) : adiyEn takes refuge ( aham prapadhyE ) in this Lord , who has

beautiful shoulders , MahA Lakshmi on His chest and who is residing at

the flower gardens in the foothills of Solai Malai dhivya dEsam . He is

always of a joyous temperament . He has the six GuNams of Jn~Anam , Balam ,

Sakthi , Iswaryam , Veerayam and tEjas befitting His name as BhagavAn .

 

Each of these six guNams have other guNams embedded in them and

thus are limitless . For instance , Souseelyam and Vaathsalyam are included

under KaaruNyam , which in turn is part of one of the six guNams referred

to above . He is thus known for His limitless , " six guNams " ( avadhi

vidhurai: praTula Moorthy) . These six guNams have been saluted as

" ShaDEva PraTamE guNA : " .

 

His guNam of Balam makes Him bear (support) all the sentients and

insentients tirelessly . His Jn~Anam ( Vijn~Anam ) makes Him see(comprehend)

every thing directly . His Sakana Sakthi enables Him to complete every thing

undertaken by any means . His PrabhA guNam is the supreme jyOthi svaroopam

that dulls every other light through its splendour . Veerya guNam of the

Lord

is the one that transforms every thing else without Himself undergoing any

changes .

 

Iswarya guNam relates to His status as Ubhaya VibhUthi NaaTan ( LeelA and

Nithya VibhUthis) . He shines eternal with these guNams at Solaimalai .

These six guNams are always present in His five manifestations as BHagavAn

( Param , VyUham , Vibhavam , Archai and AntharyAmi states) .

His dhivya dEsam of VanAdhri ( Taru shaNDa Sailam ) . There one has

the blessings of His Sevai with every limb of His sacred body resplendent

with His youthful Soundharyam . The samudhAya (collective) soundharyam

(Beauty) of the Lord here is without parallel justifying His ThirunAmam as

Azhagar ( the Beautiful One) .The auspicious guNams that have sought

refuge in this beautiful body of the Lord of this dhivya dEsam are :

Souseelyam ( moving with the lowly ones and blessing them) ,

Aasritha vAthsalyam ( the deep affection for those , who seek His

protectionn thru SaraNAgathy ) , Mrudhuthvam ( Soft heart for His

devotees) , SouhArtham ( good will towards all ) , Saamya nilai ( state

of being attained by one and all ) , aarjavam ( Straightforwardness ,

rectitude) , Dhairyam ( Courage and unperturbedness) , sTairyam

Suveeryam ( power to engage all enemies all alone against a multitude of

enemies ) , Souryam ( independent prowess that enables Him to

meet the enemies at his own base and destroy them ) , KruthithA

( joyous attitude after placing those who sought His protection

by His sside in Sri Vaikuntam ) , Gaambheeryam ( Majesty ) ,

ChAthuryam ( conductance with exemplary cleverness and

diplomacy with all ) . His unparalleled beauty blends with

these auspicious and limitless guNams at His divine

abode of ThirumAlirumchOlai .

 

SlOkam 26

************

yEshvEkasya guNasya vipruDapi vai lOkOttharam svAsrayam

kuryAth thAdhrusa-vaibhava: agaNithai: nisseema-bhUmAnvithai:

nithyai: dhivya-guNai: tathOdhika SubhathvaikAspadhAm-Asrayai:

iddham SundarabAhum-asmi SaraNam yAthO VanAdhrIswaram

 

(Meaning) : adiyEn performs SaraNAgathy at the sacred feet of Lord

SundarabAhu of VanAdhri ( ThirumAlirumchOlai) . The possession of

even a trace of any one of His most auspicious guNams ( yEshu yEkasya

guNasya vipruDapi ) saluted in the previous slOkam ( Souseelyam , aasritha

Vaathsalyam , SouhArdham , Aarjavam , Dhairyam , sTairyam , Suveeryam ,

Souryam , Kruthaj~nathai , SrImath Gaambheeryam , ChAthuryam et al)

will qualify a human being to become worthy of praise in this world .

Our Lord is however the abode of all of these limitless , auspicious

attributes

( Taadhrusa Vaibhava: ) , which are beyond our full comprehension .

He possesses these countless and supremely glorious attributes

( agaNithai: nisseema bhUmAnvithai : GuNai :) forever . Vedam flounders

in its attempt to describe fullyHis GuNams and Sakthi : " Paraa asya sakthi:

vividhaiva srUyathE " . Rg Vedam chimes in : " na tE VishNO jaayamAnO

na jaathO deva mahimna paramanthamApa " . None who ever lived

or yet to be born will equal or surpass the Mahimai of VishNu . The

dhivyAthma

Svaroopam , the abode of such anantha kalyANa guNams and the dhivya

MangaLa vigraham of Sriman NaarAyaNan have elected as their permanent

abode , the dhivya dEsam of ThirumAlirumchOlai .
