world and we would naturally like to have the best of both the worlds as the

Rudram states. The Chamakam takes you by the hand and says, "Now, look you! You

do not really know what to ask and how to ask; I shall do it for you. If there

is anything left over, you may add to my list". One is struck dumb after

hearing the Chamakam, almost ashamed. Left to oneself, one's wildest imaginings

would not have traversed over so wide a compass. All the good things of the

earth are there. For what purpose? Not for the things themselves or the

pleasures they afford; you are asked to drink deep the cup of earthly

enjoyment; "But do not stop there; do not start and end up a materialist".

Better than the pleasures of this world are those of the Swarga or Heaven of

the Gods. With these transcient goods of the world , you can perform sacrifices

unto the Gods and reach their abodes. Hence, extend your prayer thus: "Let me

get this thing and that, but let it be 'Yajnena Kalpataam', let me

get them along with several sacrifices, so as to serve in them". Thereby you can

rise in the scale of beings- from a man develop into a God. Go a step further

still. Understand the secret of sacrifice- the sublimation of Kaarmic sacrifice

into Jnaanic, the sort of sacrifice that the Creator Himself is performing with

regard to His creation. You will attain Moksha or final release and dwell in

Eternal Happiness. Summary of the Chamakam An analysis of the Chamakam reveals

in what a cogent and logical manner it proceeds. There are 11 Anuvaakas:

Anuvaaka Number of Material Objects-Desiderata Style 01 36 Sareera, Body or

Physical 02 38 Extension of Personality Seniority & Prominence 03 36 Kaama or

Priya 04 38 Food & Drinks 05 31 Earth and its Treasures 06 20 Ardhendram A

God coupled with Indra 07 29 Yajna Aayudhas-Anthar Anga 08 22 Yajna

aayudhas-Bahir Anga 09 21 Yajna siddhi 10 31 Yajna Klipthi 11 41

Benedictions The sequence of the material things asked for follow a fantastic

natural sequence. It starts with quality food, perfect health etc; later power,

position, prominence; then sensual pleasures and enjoyments etc; and finally

Moksha-the eternal happiness. All the demands are placed in a royal fashion.
