[Guest guest]

SrI :

 

Dear BhakthAs of SrI Lakshmi Nrusimhan :

 

The 16th slOkam is recited for the growth of one's wealth .

 

This is the famous slOkam , when golden coins rained from

the sky in front of PerumdEvi ThAyAr , when Swamy Desikan

sought Sri DEvi's intervention to help a Brahmachari to acquire

wealth to seek a bride and start gruhasthAsrama dharmam :

 

yOgArambha thvaritha manasO yushmadhaikAnthya-yuktam

dharmam prApthum praTamamiha yE dhArayanthE dhanAyAm

tEshAm bhoomEr-dhanapathi-grihAdh-amBarAd amBhudhErvaa

dhArA niryAnthi adhikam adhikam vaanchithAnAm vasUnAm

 

(Anvaya Kramam):iha yE yOga Aarambha thvaritha manasa: , yushmadh

eikAnthya: yuktham dharmam prApthum praTamam dhanAyAm dharayanthE ,

tEshAm bhumE: dhanapathy gruhAth amBharAth amBudhE: vaa vAnchithAnAm

vasUnAm dhArA: adhikam adhikam niryAnthy .

 

iha = in this world

yE= those

yOga Aarambha= who wish to commence Yogic activities

thvaritha manasa: = with eagerness of mind ,

 

Yushmadh = of You both

EikAnthya yuktham = with the quality of single mindedness

dharmam prApthum = for performing dharmic activities like Yaagam ,

praTamam = first (approach to)

danAyAm dhArayanthE = seek wealth

 

tEshAm = for them

BhUmE:vaa =from the Earth

dhanapathy gruhAth vaa = or from the palace of KubErA

amBharAth vaa = or from the sky

amBhudhE: vaa = or from the Ocean

 

vaanchithAnAm vasUnAm = the wealth desired by them

dhArA: the flow (of such wealth)

adhikam adhikam niryAthy = grows more and more .

 

Meaning according to Dr. M.NarasimhAchAry:

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

Some people need wealth to start Karma yOgA , which ultimately

generates bhathi towards You . For them , riches will stream out

bounteously from the earth , from the house of KubErA , from the sky

and from the Ocean .

 

Meaning according to Villivalam Sri Narayanachar Swamy

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

For those who wish to engage in bhakthi yOga and want to follow angams

of ParamaikAnthy dharmams with the help of some wealth , the needed wealth

will flow like flood from the earth as a treasure or from KubhErA's house

or from the sky or from the ocean .

 

Additional observations on this slOkam passages :

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

Oh Sri DEvi! Some ParamaikAnthis want to practise Bhakthi yOgam

rapidly for gaining Moksham as a Phalan . They have to complete first

the angams of Karma and Jn~Ana yOgams in pursuit of Bhakthi yOgam.

Further , they have to observe VarNAsrama dharmams . They have to perform

yaagams , which will need a lot of wealth to carry it out . Therefore , they

wish

to acquire some wealth . Being ParamaikAnthis , they will not ask for

wealth form any other dEvathAs . They will only approach You both ( MahA Lakshmi

and Her Divine consort ) . For these ParamaikAnthis , Your anugrahams

result in the accumulation of desired wealth in huge quantities . They come

from anywhere and everywhere . One can not anticipate where those floods of

wealth will reach them . It can be from the earth as a hidden treasure ;

it can be from the house of KubhErA ; it can be from the sky or from the ocean.
