YATHIRAJA VIMSATI

Yatiraja vimsati

 

 

Sloka 10

 

hA hanta hanta manasA kriyayA ca vAcA *

kAlaM nayAmi yatirAja! tatosmi mUrkhaH || (10)

 

 

Sloka 10

 

Oh, Yatiraja! My behavior is indeed outrageous!

Rash am I, ever indulging in triple transgression,

Against God, His devotees and the Acharayas gracious,

And passing time thus, still do I, as your loving servant, feign.

 

Notes:

“Trividhapacharan”- The triple transgression comprises:

 

1. Offence against God by way of regarding Maha Vishnu as one par with

other minor Deities, treating lightly His incarnations as Rama and Krishna and

looking upon them as no better than mere human beings and irreverent attitude

towards the Lord’s iconic (Archa) manifestation, thinking in terms of the

material of which the idol is made, thereby detracting from the awe and

reverence due to be shown to ‘Archa’ as the living presence of God.

2. Animated by conceit, greed and selfishness, throwing offence at the

Lord’s devotees and,

3. Being totally averse to contacts with the Lord and His devotees like

Hiranya kasipu of yore, the sworn enemy of Lord Vishnu.

 

In the last category would also fall transgressions known as “Asahyapachara”

(intolerable or unpardonable sins) committed against the Acharyas (preceptors).

 

The phrase “Tatosmi Moorkha:” has been repeated thrice, from the 8th sloka

onwards, to indicate the intensity of the Poet’s rashness- “thrice impetuous”,

the very opposite of “thrice blessed”!
