SlOkam 42 : The NaamAs that is the ultimate PrAscchittham for all the Sins

 

PrAyscchittha visuddhyai

PrAscchittham samastha paapAnAm

gAyathu tava nAmaishA

KamalE kalithAnya nirasanA rasanA

 

(anvaya Kramam): KamalE ! samastha pApAnAm

PrAyscchittham Tava Naama; yEshA rasanA

kalitha-anya-nirasanA Chittha visuddhyai:

PrAya: gAyathu

 

(Meaning): Oh KamalA Devi ! Sage Sanath KumAra has revealed to us

that the recitation of Your nAmAs are the most potent expiatory act for

destroying all sins including even the most heinous of sins (Tava nAmA

samastha PaapAnAm PrAyscchittham ) May adiyEn's tongue (rasanA)

be engaged in singing Your nAmAs most of the time ( prAya: gaayahtu) ,

reject every thing else ( kalitha anya nirasanaa) and attain purity of mind

( chittha Visuddhi) .

 

(Comments ): In this sthaBakam , the poet has been instructing us about

why we should sing about Mahaa Lakshmi's namAs , celebrate them , protect

Her mantrams from falling into the hands of the unfit , enjoy the nAma sankeerthanam

as nectar , meditate on them and share them with others .In this last slOkam of

this sthaBakam , the poet reveals that the singing of Her sacred nAmAs is

Sarva Paapa vimOchanam and utthama PrAyaschittham to banish all sins .

Andal instructed us about "utthaman pEr paaDi " as the way to be blessed

with all knids of soubhAgyams. Another AzhwAr showed us the way :

" AadipAdi ArangavO yenRazhaikkum ". By singing about Her nAmAs

exclusively , all blemishes in the mind will be wiped out ( Chittha Visuddhi)

and the successful execution of PrAyscchittham for all sins would have been

accomplished ( Samastha Paapa PrAyaschittham ). One AzhwAr observed in

this context : "mana maasu theerum ; aruvinayum saaraa " ( the kaLangams in

the mind will be erased and the sins wont even approach one ) . This is the power

of singing about the sacred nAmAs of Kamalai .

 

Let us recite Sixteen more nAmAs of Kamalai before we conclude

this sthaBakam to realize Chittha Suddhi and Sakala Paapa PrAyaschittham :
