Dear BhakthAs of SrI Lakshmi Nrusimhan :

 

The 22nd slOkam is recited for removal of fear from SamsAram

yaachE kim ThvAm ahamiha yatha: SeethaLOdhAraseelA

bhUyO bhUyO diaSasi mahathAm MangaLAnAm praBhandhAn

 

The key passage if this slOkam is : " aham ThvAm kim yaachE ?

Tava SeethaLa udhAra seelA kaDaakshA : mahathAm MangaLAnAm

prabhandhAn bhUya: bhUya: disathi " ( Oh Mother ! What boon can I ask

of You ? None ; Because Your cool and generous side glances confer on

whoever it falls upon great rows of auspiciousness frequently ).

Bhagavathy = Oh Devi with six primary guNams like BhagavAn !

 

bhava bhaya tamee = for the night (tamee) of terror linked to the fear of SamsAram

 

bhanava: sarvE bhAvA : = our states of mind acting like the many Sooryans

in all their states banish that dark SamsAric night due to Your anugraha sakthi

 

Thvath PrasAdhAth Harou bhakthim udhvElayantha: sampadhyanthE = and

they generate also immense bhakthi for Your Lord as a result of Your anugraham .

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

Adorable One ! By Your grace , all my thoughts are only enchancing

my loving devotion towards Lord Hari . You are always showering welfare

on me . So , what more shall I ask for ?

 

Meaning according to Villivalam Sri Narayanachar Swamy

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

Oh Bhagavathy ! for us now , the welcome state of mind , wherein

the fear about the samsAram has been destroyed through Your grace

just as the dark night is chased away by the illumining rays of the rising Sun .

 

Thanks to that grace of Yours , our thoughts have become auspicious and You

have stimulated Bhakthi towards Your Lord . Over and above these two blessings ,

what is there for me to ask of You ? There is none that I could think of as additional

boons to request . Out of Your abundant compassion and generosity , You are showering

waves and waves of MangaLams on adiyEn .

 

Additional observations on this slOkam passages :

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

Oh Mother ! You are Sarvajn~yai ( Omniscient ) . You know even before

we can identify what we need ; You already shower those boons on us.

You are saluted by Your Sahasra Naamams as " Svasthi karyai nama: "

( One who showers auspiciousness of every kind) and " Raajya Lakshmyai nama: "

and " dhana Lakshmyai nama: ". You bless Your devotees with great kingdoms

on this earth and immense wealth of other kinds . Your Sathya Sankalpam

( unfailing resolve) and ParamAptha svaroopam ( supreme friendship to Your

devotees) makes You recognized as " Sarva Paalini " ( protector of All ) ,

Sarva DhAyini ( grantor of all boons ) , ParAsakthi ( Omnipotent force)

and "Kali Kalmasha naasini " ( one who destroys the Kali dhOshams) .

 

Your concern for us and looking in to our Yoga-KshEmam leads to

Your Sahasra Naamam of " Yoga-KshEma vahAyai nama: " . Sitting on

Your auspicious seat ( Bhadra peetam ) , You shower on us Your

"MahA VibhUthi " ( great Iswaryam ) and appear before us ( agratha: sTithAyai

nama: ) with Your beautiful roopam ( Soumya roopa vyavasTithAyai nama: ) .
