Oh Lord of Arya ! Hari ( Lord Vishnu) had taken various forms such as your

arrow, bull, taken half of your body as your wife, boar, friend and drum

player. He has surrendered his eyes at your feet. He has also taken part in

your form of Harihara. Hence he is worshipped more than anyone else. If not

who else is greater than Him ?

He! ParamEswara! It is only with great audacity can one come to know of

you. Therefore resorting to bhakthiyOga is more easier for ordinary

people. The sruthi says by such vaakyas as 'yathO vaachO nivarthanthE

apraapya manasaa saha' that it is not easy to know of the swaroopam of

ParamEswara, of his mahimaa, of his extra-ordinary sakthi. Thus it

indicates that Bhakthi maargam to be adhi sulabham. Therefore praaNis

should choose one of the nine bhakthiyOgas that are sravaNam, keerthanam,

smaraNam, paadhasEvanam, archanam, vandhanam, dhaasyam, sakyam and aathma

nivEdhanam and through that achieve their janma saapalyam.

 

AachaaryaaL gives the supreme example of Sri Mahaavishnu who took many

roopams to know of ParamEswara of the greatest mahimaa and in the end proved

himself to be the greatest poojyadharan. Hey! ParamEswara! When you were

doing the samhaaram of Tripuraasuran, Mahaavishnu, in order to know your

sakthi became an arrow in your hand. In another time he took the form of

Vrishabha vaahana swaroopan to know you. In another time he occupied half

your body and became your bhaaryaa. Moreover in order to find your holy

feet he took the form of a pig and dug into the earth as far as he could.

In MOhini roopam he was your sakhi. In addion to this for your

aanandhanatanam during pradhOsham time he plays mridhangam for you. And lo

and behold! he even surrendered his eye during his poojanam to you! Hey!

ParamEswara! because he has your dhEhasambhandham he, Mahaavishnu is

poojyadharan. From this, Hey! ParamEswara! it is by your prasaadham that

Mahaavishnu has the siddhi of his vishnuthvam.

 

'EkO havai naaraayaNa: aaseeth(u)' is the sruthi vaakya that does the

nirdhaaraNam that Mahaavishnu is the moolakaaraNam for everything. Yet the

saasthras say: " moolabhoothasya sivasaakshaath moolamasya katham bhavEth "

i.e. for everything the moolabhootham is ParamEswara and how can there be a

cause for him? It is therefore clear that one need not search for a god

beyond ParamEswara. It is therefore imperative that one should do

Sivabhakthi to get mOkshasukham. If Vishnu is poojyadharan Hey! PrabhO! you

are poojyathaman! Therefore without your prasaadham all efforts will become

futile.

 

Anyone who chants this slOka and do a namaskaaram in Sivasannidhi is bound

to attain sivaayujyamukthi. There is no doubt about it.

 

Aum Namasivaaya!
