Sivaanandalahari - 59

[Guest guest]

Sivaanandalahari - 59 (2)Hey! GowripathE! Just as the Hamsa pakshi likes to

live in the padmavanam to be in the midst of the lotus flowers, just as the

chaathaka pakshi that has the mouth on its head thus being unable to eat on

its own and is waiting for the nectar like rain drops to come from the sky

and thus yearns for the water laden dark clouds, just as the chakravaaka

pakshi that attains inexplicable aanandha at the arrival of the sun in the

morning remains in unbearable dhukkam all night craving for the sunrise and

just as the sakOra pakshi whose food is the ray of the moon and thirsts for

the moon to come out - my heart hankers for your paadhaabjam that gives

mOkshasukham. Hey! PasupathE! How can I describe the mahima of your lotus

feet? As the sruthi says:

 

Ethasyaivaanandhasya anyaani bhoothaani maathraa mupajeevanthi |

 

your paadhaabhjam gives mOkshasukham that is superior to all other

aanandha. Those paadhaabhjam can be found only on the peaks of the vedas

called upanishads. Not by any other way. Hey! GowripathE! My mind is

fervently seeking all the time your two paadhaabjam that can be searched

only in the upanishads because they give mOksha saamraajya sukham. Hey!

ParamEswara! I have already told you of my state of mind by many examples.

By your superior kindness please do the aruL of giving me the limitless

aanandha. Hey! ParamporuLE! Hey! Sarvavyaapi! Is there any kaaryam that

you cannot do? All abilities reside only in you. The swabhaavam to protect

the dheena janas and saadhu janas reside only in you. Are you not the

phaladhaathaa of all my karmas? Does not the Brahmasoothra " phalamatha:

upapatthE: " point to only you as the karma phala dhaatha? Because you are

karma phala dhaatha you are called pasu paasa vimOchakan. Therefore Hey!

PasupathE! Hey! VibhO! You have to protect me with your enormous

kaaruNyam.

 

In this sloka, BhagavathpaadhaaL underlines the forbidance of separating

Siva and Shakthi by his exclamation 'Gowrinaatha!'.

 

Gowrinaathaa namO namO!
