Sri NaarAyaNa Yatheendhra Mahaa Desikan : An AchArya Ratnam(contd)

 

U.Ve ChEtlUr SrivatsAngAcchAr Swamy presented our AchArya Ratnam with a special celebratory slOkam following the thought lines of Swamy Desikan :

 

sadhratnam trAsaheenam taralasugatikam svAtibhOtthArchanArham

 

muktAsooti prabhADyam NaraharihrudhayaarOhadhanyam varENyam

 

AasthAnirvODDa Subhram sulabhaBahumatam vijn~ahrudhyam guNOdhgam

 

SrimannArAyaNAkhyam yativaratanu tadh dhArayE tApaSaantyai

 

Today we will continue with the comments on each of the names chosen by Sri U.Ve. SrivatsAngAcchAr Swamy in the above salutational verse:

 

1. Sadhratnam trAsa-heenam: TrAsam is a dhOsham ( blemish) in a gem . The gems of "purest ray-serene" do not have any imperfections.The existence of extrinsic substitutional or interstitial impurities in turn affect the gem's color, transparency and lustre.Sri NaarAyaNa Yatheendhra-Mahaa Desikan is one such sadh Ratnam without any intrinsic defects .

 

2. tarala sugatikam : One good mark of a classy pearl is the existence of a jala rEkai ( moist appearnce) . This AchAryan has that kind of moist/compassionate feature in his mind regarding samsAris & Bhaddha Jeevans .

 

3.svAtibhOtthArchanArham muktAsUti prabhADyam : If an oyster opens its mouth on a SvAti star day and if a rain drop falls inside that open mouth , that rain drop transforms into a pearl .Similarly , this AchAryan has the total adhikAram to worship Sri Lakshmi Narasimhan , who incarnated on a SvAti Nakshatram day . Here is a double entendre. One pearl will not make another pearl .This pearl of an AchAryan however makes many jeevans mugdhAs/MuktAs . This is some thing that the ordinary pearls do not have the power to effectuate .

 

4. Narahari hrudhayArOdhanyam VarENyam: This AchArya Ratnam has the fitness to reside on the chest region of Sri Lakshmi Nrisimhan just like Periya PirAtti ( MaNivara iva SourE: nitya-hrudhyOapi jeeva: kalushamatir-avindhan kinkaratvAdhirAjyam).

 

5. AsthAnirvODDru: Aasthaa is AasthAnam ( seat of power) ; nirvOODru means one who administers or rules . This AchArya Ratnam is a mighty ruler of Sri Nrisimha AasthAnam and protects its wealth.

 

6. Subhram: It is pure inside and outside (Suddha sattva mayam).

 

7. Sulabha-Bahumatam: It( This AchArya Ratnam) is easily accessible by one and all .Therefore, it is Sulabham . It is also sought after by all ( Bahumatam) instead of by a select few.

 

8. vijn~ahrudhyam :It is pleasing to the minds of those who are connoseiurs

( VisEsha arta Jna~nis).

 

9.guNOdhgam Sriman-NaarAyaaakhyam yativaratanu tadh dharayE : guNOdhgam means priceless.

adiyEn houses this srEshta AchArya ratnam with reveerence on my chest/heart .You may ask why do you wear this AchArya Ratnam on Your heart ? It is for Taapa Saanti .

 

10. taapa Saantyai dhArayE: I adorn this AchArya ratnam for removal of the three kinds of tApams: AadhyAtmikam Aadhi Boudhikam and Aadhi dhaivikam.AadhyAtmika tApams are fever , ill health etc. Aadhi Boudhikam is the himsai caused by others. Aadhi dhaivikam are damages caused by thunder , lightning , forest fire etc.DEtails of the three kinds of tApams are described in the Taapa Traya adhyAyam of SrI VishNu PurANam.

 

This AchArya ratnam , the 45th Pattam Srimath Azhagiya Singar continues brilliantly with Sri MaTham nirvAha kAryams , examination and printing of ancient granthams, performing KaalakshEpams , SamAsrayaNa-bharanyAsams , daily AarAdhanams and conducting Vidhvat Sadas to honor Vedic and Aagamic scholars .

 

Our prayers are for this AchArya Ratnam to enjoy PallaaNDu with a vajra sareeram to bless us all !

SrimatE Sri Lakshminrisimha dhivya PaadhukA Sevaka SrIVaNN SaThakOpa Sri NaarAyaNa Yatheendhra Mahaa DesikAya Nama:
