Swamy KurEsar's Pancha Sthavam : Part III (Sri Sthavam) /AzhwArs CD ROM II Kaimkaryam

[Guest guest]

SrI :

 

Dear BhakthAs :

 

Let us start with the recitation of the Taniyan of KurEsar !

 

SrivathsachinhamisrEbhyO Nama ukthim adheemahE

yadhukthyas-thrayeekaNDE yaanthi MangaLasoothrathAm

 

(Meaning ): KooratthAzvAn's Sri Sookthis (sacred utterances)

have attained the state of ThirumAngalyam ( auspicious thread

worn by Sumangalis) around the neck of Veda MaathA . We recite

the word of Nama: for the MahA PaNdithar , KurEsar with the same

reverence as we recite the sacred Veda manthrams (nama ukthim

adheemahE ) .

 

FIRST SLOKAM OF SRI STHAVAM

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

The prayer is for SrI DEvi to confer auspiciousness to all the worlds

and their beings : " asEsha JagathAm SrI : Svasthi disadAth " . Our Lord ,

Hari NaarAyaNan takes His cues about what is to be done in the matters of

Creation (Sarga: ) , Dissolution ( Upasarga: ) and Protection (sTithee: )

from looking at the expressions housed in the beautiful face of His Consort

..

He is thus under Her total control in these matters and goes about executing

His work according to Her wishes. If this were not to be so, the Lord will

not enjoy His Jagath Srushti-rakshaNa -SamhAra vyApArams.May SrI Devi of

such power confer on us all MangaLams is the prayer !

 

Sri VathsAnkAcchAr swamy points out that this prayerful

request is modelled after the Vaakyam of Sage ParAsarA

in Sri VishNu pUrANam : " Sa disathu BhagavAn asEshapumsAm

Harirapajanma-jarAdhikam samruddhim " . Here the father of Sage

VyAsA , who gave us the most sacred Saathvika PurANam (VishNu

PurANam ) prays for for all jeevans to be blessed with every kind of

MangaLam .

 

The First slOkam salutes Sri DEvi this way :

 

Svasthi SrIr-disathAdh asEsha-jagathAm sargOpasargasTithee:

svargam dhurgathim Aapavargakika padham sarvam cha kurvan Hari:

YasyA Veekshya mukham tadhingitha-parAdhInO vidhatthE akhilam

kreeDEyam khalu nAnyaTAasya rasadhA syadhaikarasyAth TayA

 

Sri Hari's duties ( Leelais) are: Creation , protection and dissolution of

the Universe and its beings. The world of DevAs (Svargam ) , Narakam

(Dhurgathim ) , Sri Vaikuntam/Moksha sTAnam (Aapavargika padham )

and all other worlds are under His sway and He rules over them

(Sarvam cha kurvan Hari: ) . How does Hari accomplish this ?

He executes all these tasks by taking the directions/cues from

the hints ( ingitham) originating from SrI Devi's auspicious face

( Thirumukha MaNDalam ) . He is Sri DEvi ParAdheenan ,

since He wants to please Her . He looks at Her face for the different

signals and completes every thing according to Her wish ( YasyA:

Mukham Veekshya , Tadhingitha ParAdheena: akhilam vidhatthE).

They are of unified mind and for their play , they delight in engaging

in this chess game . They are yEka Seshi Dampathis . If there is no

matching

enjoyment ( Eikarasyam ) , then this play of Creation et al wont produce

any joy for them ( anyathA Asya TayA EikarasyAth iyam kreeDA rasathA

na syAth khalu ? ) . May Sri DEvi of such Vaibhavam confer all

auspiciousness on all ! ( SrI: Svasthy disathAdh ) . Sei SrivathsAnkAchAr

Swamy points out that the prayOgam of " Khalu " in this slOkam by

KurEsar is to indicate that this yEka sEshithvam and Eikarasyam

among them is celebrated in Veda -VedAnthams .

 

The First slOkam starts with Svasthi Vachanam and PrArTanai .
