Dear BhakthAs of SrI Lakshmi Nrusimhan :

 

The 18th slOkam is recited for control over one's roaming Mind

(sanchala Manas ) for gaining the Moksha sukham :

 

Ureekarthum kusalam akhilam jEthum-aadheen-arAtheen

dhUrikarthum duritha nivaham thyakthum AadhyAm-avidhyAm

AmBha stamBhAvadhika janana grAma seemAntharEkhAm

AalamBhanthE vimala-manasO VishNukAnthE DayAm tE

 

The key passage if this slOkam is : " Vimala Manasa: tE DayAm aalamBhanthE "

Those with blemishless minds hold on to Your DayA as their supporting staff

in their life's journey .

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

Oh Lakshmi dear to our Father ! Oh Mother of the Universe !

Those with pure minds derive their strengths during their

dEha yAthrAs by holding on to Your incomparable DayA

to (1) gain all auspiciousness (2) win over their ancient enemies of Kaamam

and KrOdham © destroy their sins and (d) banishing their nescience .

Your divine compassion is the boundary for all lines of chEtanams

from the balde of grass to the mighty dEvAs .

 

Additional observations on this slOkam passages :

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

Oh DayA DEvi ! If we consider the jeeva Raasis from the tiny blade of

grass to the mighty Brahma dEvan as the boundary line , Your divine

dayA shows the land beyond that line (demarcator) . Those who have been

beneficiaries of Your divine grace through the performance of

an appropriate UpAyam , cross the ocean of SamsAram and land in

Moksha SaamrAjyam .
