What can I give (You ) when You have the golden mountain in your hand, are

with Kubera, the lord of riches, with Kalpaka Vriksham, Kamadhenu and

Chintamani in your house, have on your head the cool crescent moon and all

good things at your feet ? Let my mind be offered to you.

 

*Commentary*

 

Aum

 

Hey! Parameswara! How can I describe your Glories? As the sruthi would say,

‘yasmaathpara naaparamasthi kinchith’ it is not possible to determind your

Vaibhavam. The smrithi says: ‘na, thwathsamOsthi abyadhika: kuthOnya:’ You

are the ParamporuL par excellence! Hey! Gireesaa! When you set out to

destroy the thripura you held in your hand the golden mount Meru as a bow.

Also Kubera the lord of riches is near you at your disposal. In your house

you have the gift giving tree kalpaga vriksham, the desire fulfilling cow

Kaamadhenu and the wonderous jewel Chinthaamani that showers the object of

pleasures on the seekers. You are wearing the crescent moon of soft cool

rays, on your head. People therefore call you Chandrasekharan. (My many

pranaams to ParamaachaaryaaL, thinking of whom has brought saabalyam to my

janma). Adding to all these are your charaNaaravindham that brings sakala

mangalam. So you are called ‘AkhilasubE’.

 

Therefore, ‘paripoorNasya nithyasya marthyai: kim kriyathE narai:’. If I

give you a bilvadhaLam you give me Moksham in return! You are truly

‘Ashuthosh’! You are the greatest bestower!

 

You are avaaptha samasthakaaman and what can a nara like me give you?

‘Poojakaanaam mamObhaava: devEnagruhyatE sprutam’. Hey! PrabhO! You seem to

be very fond of bhakthaas’ manObhaavam. Therefore I submit to you my mind

that is pure yet craving to reach you. Please do accept it.

 

When AachaaryaaL says in this sloka ‘bhavathu baavadhartham mama mana:’ we

should realize it thathwaartham. In this sloka Jagat Guru emphasizes the

importance of Raja Yoga. The meaning of yoga is to do anusandhaanam of

‘Sivoham’ as parabraman that is non-different from one’s own aathma. In

doing the anusandhaanam of Raja Yoga mind is the most important one. The

mind has to have the layam of Brahmaivaaham by which jeevaathma that is seen

as different from Parabrahmam gets its layam.

 

‘Yogam jeevaathmanOvaikyam praahu: yogavichakshNaa:’ says the saasthra. In

this, on attaining Parameswara who is avaaptha samasthakaaman no object

would be useful except the pure mind that has the ‘Sivoham’ bhaavana.
