vArivachyanu = ‘udaka’ nAma ParamAtma

vAriyoLagiddu = in udakAbhimAni dEvata i.e. VaruNa (aMtaRgata rUpa)

ArurasaveMdenisi = called shADrasa

mUvattAru sAvira strI  nADiyaLu = 36000 strI nADi on the left side of the body

mUvattAru sAvira puruSha nADiyaLu = 36000 purUSha nADi on the right side of the body

tadrupa = in nADi rUpa

dhArakanu = as their support

tAnAgi =Himself in those forms and rUpa-s

sarvasharIragaLali = in the sharIra of all jIva-s

ahashcha = during day

rAtri = and night too

bR^iuhatiyeMba = by the name ‘bR^ihati’

sunAmadiM = good name

karesi = called so

vihAramALpanu = exists in the nADi-s and protects them by distributing the nutritions and performing kriya-s

 

The six rasa-s are supported by udaka (water) tatva. The rasa-s are delivered to the rasEMdriya-s with the help of water. VaruNa is the abhimAni dEvata for ‘udaka’. ParamAtma exists as “VAri” in His aMtaRgata rUpa in VaruNa. VAri ParamAtma exists in the xaDrasa-s via their respective abhimAni dEvata-s by different names as summarized below:-

 

No.     rasa    abhimAni dEvata BhagavadrUpa

1       uppu    nirR^iti                janARdana

2       huLi    pARvati         dAmOdara

3       khAra   daxaprajapati   narasiMha

4       sihi    iMdra                   vAsudEva

5       kahi    yama                    aniruddha

6       ogaru   bhAgirathi dEvi hari nAmaka ParamAtma

 

All the rasa-s need the support of ‘udaka’ for dispersion of taste. Thus the word ‘vArivachayanu’. This ‘vArivachya’ carries the xaDrasa-s thru’ 72000 nAdi-s and provides nutrition to the sthUla dEha.

 

There are 36000 puruSha nAdi-s on the right side of the dEha and ParamAtma performs puruSha kriya-s thru’ them. And there are 36000 srtI nAdi-s on the left side of the dEha and ParamAtma performs strI kriya-s thru’ them.

 

• A year consists of 360 days, meaning 360 daytimes and 360 nights.

• Considering a man’s life to be 100 years, this would translate to 36000 days and 36000 nights.

• Thus we consider them as 36000 divA nAdi-s (puruSha nAdi) and 36000 rAtri nADi-s (strI nAdi-s), totaling to 72000 nADi-s

 

The sthUla dEha is provided nutrition to thru’ 72000 nADi-s and ParamAtma thus supports life.

 

Existing as ‘bR^ihati’ in the tatvAbhimAni dEvata-s of the 72000 nADi-s of sharIra, ParamAtma performs and makes the jIva perform all kriya-s all day and night. This could be understood as:-

(16 svaraxara-s) x (1000 names of V S nAma)                     =16000

(35 vyaMjana-s) x (1000 names of V S nAma)                      =35000

(11 axara-s of bR^ihati chaMdasa) x (1000 names of V S nAma)=11000

(100 dEva ruk-s) x (1000 names of V S nAma)                     =10000

                                                        Total =72000

 

Thus, ‘bR^ihati’ ParamAtma provides nutrition and protection to the dEha.
