Sivaanandalahari - 51 (2)*contd. from 51 (1)*

 

In accordance with one of Sri NatEsa sahasranaamam

'bringeenaatyapramaanagya:' ParamEswaraaL shows extreme eagerness to satisfy

the desire of saakshaath Bringi Maharshi to witness His thaandavam. And the

thaathparyam of this dance is for the enabling of the abhedham. Bhagavan is

an expert in this dance. Moreover He fought with Gajaasura and did dwamsam

of his garvam and gave to all the worlds abhayam from the marauders. Also

he shows priyam to Mahavishnu, because according to harivamsa,

 

maayaa vidhyaa cha harE: prOktha thasyaa: easO yathO bhavaan |

thasmaath maadhavanaamaasi dhavasvaammeethi sabhdhitha: ||

 

The swamy for the mOkshasaadhana vidhyaa is only Mahaavishnu who should be

known by the name 'Maadhava:'. So with this Maadhava who remains brilliant

with Brahmavidhya, bhagavaan ParamEswara remains his aapatha snEhithan. The

opinion of ParamEswara was " I have given upadhEsam of paasupadhaasthram to

Arjuna. The paramakaashtai, the ultimate objective of this asthram remains

in brahmavidhyaa only. Even though Arjuna was holding this enormously

important asthra of brahmavidhya in his hand, afflicted by sohamOham he, out

of sheer ignorance, threw it down on the battlefield. (How sad!) Taking

advantage of this and realizing that Arjuna is now an instrument Maadhava

tom tommed to the whole world on the importance of Brahmavidya. Is not

Maadhava the greatest prabhu and rakshaka to have given this wealth of

Bhagavath Geetha out to the whole world as his prasaadham? " Thus

ParamEswara has indescribable priyam to Maadhava. In order to reiterate

this ParamEswaraaaL in the roopam of bhagavathpaadhaaL with his poorNakala

says while doing the bhaashyam of bhagavath geetha:

 

samsaarabeejabhoothow sOkamOhow | thayOscha

sarvakarmasanyaasapoorvakaadhaathmagyaanaath naanyathO nivrutthirithi

thadhupadhidhikshu: sarvalOkaanugrahaartham arjunam nimittheekruthya aaha

bhagavaan vaasudhEva: -- " asOchyaan " ithyaadhi ||

 

That is why in this slOka it is said " *spuranmaadhavaahlaadha:* " Moreover

ParamEswara remains outing the sound of the praNava of great mahima wearing

the ash all over his body manifesting his gnyaanajyothi. And he also

remains udhyukthan (zealous) in his protection of the Devas, bhakthaas and

saadhu janas. The pramaaNam for this is the Geethaa vaakyam " parithraaNaaya

saadhoonaam vinaasaaya cha dhushkrithaam " .

 

*This great One of mahaamahima, whom I see in front with my fleshy eyes, who

even though sarvavyaapi and the lord of mahaakailaas, resides happily in the

mountain of Srisailam, may he play in the lotus of my heart!*

 

In this sloka the slEdai describes his as the male bee playing with the

female bee (Brahmaraambika).

 

Whoever says this sloka and do namaskaaram to a Sivalingam they are bound to

be filled with the limitless play of ecstacy in their hearts.

 

Aum Namasivaaya.
