When will I happily spend long times like the Kalpas of Brahmas as a second

by praying to you for protection with my hands raised above the head and

palms together in salutation, living with the Sivaganas in front of You,

Omnipresent Lord Shiva, the doer of all good, who is with Ambika, and who

resides in the mount of Kalasa, seated on the golden mansion embedded with

gems?

*Aum

 

In this sloka AachaaryaaL worships saalOka-saameepa-mOkshaanandham.

 

Hey Parameswara! When I do smaraNam to you, you are telling me that you

would give me vidhithwam or vishnuthwam. I never asked for these. I am

asking for the MOkshaanandham of your sannidhaanam. How will I be capable of

describing the vaibhavam of your sannidhaanam otherwise? How would I do the

smaraNam of it? When would I see it? When would I have this anubhavam?

 

Hey PrabhO! When am I going to find the happiness of seeing you seated in

the jewel bedecked simhaasanam with Gowri in Kailaash? When am I going to

have the dhivya dharisanam of your sannidhaanam in the company of such great

ganas as Nandikeswarar, Chandikeswarar, Bringi and so on? Hey ParamporuLe!

You are the root cause of sukham. Aren’t you a paraadheena? I do not wish to

have your dharshan all alone but to see you worshipped by the millions of

bhakthaas. Because then I would be touched by those milling bhakthaas and

would instantly be purified. The mahimaa of such purity would be the gaining

of your poorNa kataaksham because of which my janma would get the sabalam.

 

“Pasoonaam janmanaamanthE sivabhakthi: prajaayathE†says the saasthra. Only

by the sat karmas performed in crores of janmaas could one get the

sivabhakthi. Hey KaruNaanidhE! When am I going to have the experience of the

baagyaadhisayam of standing in the midst of the bhakthakotis with my hands

held together over my head in your sannidhaanam? In that Hey Parameswara! I

wish to stand along with your prathamaganas and cry out Hey VibhO! Hey

Saambu! Hey Swaamin! Hey Paramaa! Hey Shivaa! Please save me from the

thaapathraya! When am I going to have the sukhaanubhavam of crying and

spending eons of time as if they are like seconds? (This is to underline

that kaalam is unimportant in the sannidhi of Jithakaala.)

 

In this sloka AachaaryaaL says, ‘Ganai: saha’ to highlight the importance of

being in the midst of bhakthakotis. This has been brought out amply in

Sivapaadhaadhi Kesaandara SthOthram as follows:

 

“DEvEbyO dhaanavEbya: pithrumuniparishathsadhdhavidyaadharEbya:

saadhyEbyachaaraNEbyO manujapasupathajjaathikeetaadhikEbya: |

sreekailaasapraroodaasthruNavidapimukhaschaapi yE santhi thEbya:

sarvEbyO nirvichaaram nathimuparachayE sarvapaadhaasrayEbya: ||â€

 

The thaathparyam of this is that all the different bhakthas be it devaas or

asuraas or pithrus or maharshis or siddhaas or saadhyaas or vidhyaadharaas

or saaraNaas or naras or pasus or birds or insects or even the grass and

twigs in Kailaash are NOT seen differently but as Kailaasa sambandhis.
