Aarambham

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

RaajA : Oh dear one , who speaks without deciet ( Visuddha bhAshiNi )!

Please listen to this brief summary ( SookshmArTa Sangraha: ).

 

SlOkam 76:

 

Madha-matsara-maanamaya: pumAn

Bahu-pisAsa-gruheetha ivArbhaga :

nigama siddha narEndhra nireekshayaa

nipuNapaddhathim abhyavapadhyathE

 

(Meaning): Purushan is like a child possessed by the many goblins

( PisaasukaL) with the names of desire (raagam ) , hate ( dhvEsham ) ,

haughtiness (garvam) et al . He arrives in that sad state at the city

known as Vedham , where Sarva JeevEswaran resides and presides .

This Supreme Lord is a great Vaidhyan ( Doctor) . When SarvEswaran's

glances fall on this Purushan ( Jeevan) , then the Jeevan will be rid off

the tormenting goblins and return to the sampradhAyic path .

 

Here the Jeevan is compared to " Bahu PisAsa gruheetha arbhakan " .

The Lord is saluted as " Nigama siddha NarEndhran " . The SaasthrEic

way (raaja Maargam and not otthai paathai) is decribed as " nipuNa

paddhathi " .

 

SlOkam 77:

 

The next slOkam covers the happening after the JaayamAna

KaDAksham of the Lord falls on the struggling Jeevan :

 

anaga-dEsika-dhrushti-sudhAplavE

vidhivasAth upasEdhishu dEhina:

vimala-BhOdha-mukhA vividhA guNA:

pariNamanthy apavarga-dasAnkuraa:

 

(meaning ): When the KaruNA katAksham falls on the Jeevan ,

then it gets drenched in the nectar of Dayaa of the faultless AchAryan

and the sprouts for Moksham like blemishless Jn~Anam , control

of Indhriyams , sprout forth .

 

Here AchArya KatAksham is equated to that of the rejuvenatiing

power of nectar. These AchAryAs are totally devoid of any defects

( anaga DesikA: ). They possess vimala Jn~Anam ( BhOdha mukhA: ).

SudhA plavam refers to bathing ( Thirumanjanam ) in nectar. This

AchArya Sambhandham happens due to the BhAgyam of Iswara

anugraham ( vidhivasAdhupasEdhishi) . Then the various auspicious

attributes (Vividha GuNA: ) in preparation for travel on the Raaja Maargam

of Moksham sprout (apavarga dasAnkurA: pariNamathy). Previous slOkam

covered the situation before AchArya PrApthi; this slOkam describes

the situation of those who have been blessed with AchArya anugraham

to perform upAya anushtAnam ( Prapatthi/ Bhakthi yOgam ).

 

In the next slokam ( 78th) , the focus is on upAya siddhi from

the completion of the anushtAnam .

 

SlOkam 78:

 

svAdheenEtarapaatha bheethi parushasvar-vaasa dhurvAsanaa-

paasA-karshaNa-yanthraNAbhirabhitha: kshipthAthmana: KshEthriNa:

nishprathyUha-vijrumbhamANa-karuNA dhughdhArNavE nirbharA:

bhakthi: sEthsyathi bhAgadEya-vasatha: PRAAPYE PARABRAHMANI

 

(Meaning ): On reaching Svargam due to PuNyams , the Jeevan develops

the fear that it will fall down to samsAra lOkam at the end of spending its

puNyams . That is the horror of finiteness of Svarga vaasam . KsheeNE puNyE

adhO gathi ( Downward descent at the end of the using up of accumulated

PuNyams). Eihikia phalams lead to Svargam. There he enjoys the bhOgams .

Now the fear (bheethi) takes over about losing them (bhOgams) at the end of

expending the puNyams and knows that he has no control (asvaadheenam)

over the consequent descent to SamsAram . Various ropes of Vaasanais

( residual effects of karmAs) pull the jeevan (dhurvAsanaa paasAkarshaNam)

hither and thither. He struggles valiantly . He is helpless and befuddled .

At this time of distress , due to bhAgya visEsham of AchArya anugraham

and the uninterrupted flow of the nectarine dayaa of AchAryan

generates bhakthi to Parabrahmam (Bhakthi yOgam sprouts) . For these

Bhakthi yOga nishtAs , the next happening is the performance of

the Yaagam of Aathma SamarpaNam at the sacred feet of the Lord .

AchArya KaruNA is equated here to " NishprathyUha vijrumbhamANa

KaruNaa " ( Tadai illAthu surakkum karuNai) . The jeevan that is immersed

in that milky ocean ( dhugdhArNavam) due to bhAgyam is equated to

one without any burden ( nibharaa: ) due to leaving the burden of protection

to the Lord . Bhagavath anugraham, achArya Sambhandham , generation of

Bhagavath Bhakthi and finally aathma samarpaNam are the stages of

progress of the bhAgyasAli Jeevan .
