SlOkam 6

**********

sTithE manasi vigrahE guNini dhAthusAmyE sathi

smarEth akhila-dEhinam ya iha jAthuchith ThvAmajam

tayayiva khalu sandhayA TamaTa dheerga nidhrAvasam

svayam vihitha-samsmruthir-nayasi dhAma nai: SrEyasam

 

This slOkam is an echo of Sri VarAha Charama slOkam .

 

Word by word Meaning

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

iha = here ( on this earth)

 

Ya: manasi sTithE = One who holds his mind in a steady and good state

 

vigrahE guNini = and with his body in a healthy state

 

dhAthu SaamyE = augmented by dhAthus (Kapa , Pittha , Vaadham) in good

balance(equalibrium)

 

sathy= when the mind , body and dhAthus are in an optimal state of health

 

akhila dEhinam ajam ThVam jaathuchith smarEth = If that blessed person were

to then think of You even once and perform Prapatthi one time at Your sacred

feet ,

 

aTa dheerga nidhrAvasam taMM= for such a person , at the end of his life ,

when he is in the grip of death

 

(tamm) tayA samdhayA yEva= by that very thought itself of You , the Lord

and the power of the earlier Prapatthi done by that Mumukshu

 

Svayam vihitha samsmruthi: = You creat out of Your own sankalpam

anthima smrithi of You in that chEtanam's mind during those last moments

 

nai:SrEyasam dhaama nayasi khalu = and You , the Lord leads that Prapannan

to Sri Vaikuntam , Your supreme abode . Moksha Sukham is enjoyed by that

Muktha Jeevan as a result of thinking of You , the Lord , when the mind ,

body and faculties were in tact and thru the performance of his Prapatthi

at that time .

 

(Extended Meaning ): Oh Lord of Srirangam! If a chEthanan wishes to gain

MOksham , He must perform Prapatthi. He must do it once at whatever

stage of life he is . It is most desirable to perform this Prapatthi , when

the mind is in a healthy state , the body has strength and the controlling

dhAthus ( Kapam , Pittham and Vaadham) are in equipoise . In response to

the Prapatthi done under the circumstances , Oh timeless Lord of Srirangam !

You remember this chEtanam at the end of his life , when that chEtanam

is like a log or stone and unable to think of You , You create then

anthima smruthi about You in his mind and lead this jeevan to Your

Supreme abode to enjoy Moksha sukham there . The chEtanam is thus freed

from the fear of suffering naraka vaasam due to the power of his earlier

prapatthi done when his mind , body and dhAthus were at their best state .
