shrIramaNa = laxmIpati shrImannarAyaNa

 

pratimegaLoLage = various types of pratima-s

 

hadimUradhikavAgippa = 13 more

 

mElainUru rUpava = above 500 i.e, 513 rUpa-s (pratima =

pra=pa+ra=1+2=3, ti=1, ma=5 and by reading reverse we get 513 rUpa-s)

 

dharisi ippanu = takes those many rUpa-s

 

ahitAchaladi = in temples where the mURti sthApana has been done -

pratima fixed at one place (achaladi) in the ahita vibhUti rUpa

 

dAru = forest wood

 

mathanava gaiye = when it is rubbed against each other

 

pAvaka = agni hidden the wood

 

tOruvaMte = comes to life

 

pratIka = jaDa pratima abhimAni dEvata-s

 

suraroLu = in chalapratima dEvata-s

 

nOLparige = those who meditate on aMtaRgata rUpa of the pratima

 

tattadAkAradali = in the shape of the pratima

 

tOrutippanu = would exhibit Himself

 

 

 

JagannAtha dAsa explains the ten vibhUti rUpa-s in the various types

of pratima-s like:-

 

stone pratima

kAShTa (wood) pratima

paMchalOha (an alloy) pratima

lEpya pratima (made from special medicines / chemicals)

 

likhita (drawn on paper or rangoli on floor) pratima

 

moNNu (made from clay/mud) pratima

mAnasika (drawn in the mind) pratima

maNimayi (gems and jewels) pratima

 

 

In the above in our houses, or in the pratima-s with yati-s who have

received the same by paraMpara from their seniors (either made from

Gold or paMchalOha) or at temples where the pratima-s have been

installed by proper procedure of 'pratiShThApana' by knowledgeable

people. The wood pratima of Lord JagannAtha temple at pUri is a well

known example.

 

 

 

He exists in 513 rUpa-s (pratima = pra=pa+ra=1+2=3, ti=1, ma=5 and by

reading reverse we get 513 rUpa-s).

 

 

 

The pratima-s fixed at one place in temples thus 'achala' and they

display ahita vibhUti thus JagannAtha dAsa refers them as

" ahitAcahaladi " .

 

 

 

In order to kindle fire during yaj~na-s we use " araNi " - the piece of

wood (taken from the Ficus Religiosa) used for kindling fire by

attrition. agni cannot be seen although it is hidden in this " araNi "

but agni comes alive when this " araNi " is rubbed vigorously against

another piece of wood.

 

 

 

In the same way, ParamAtma pervades in the pratimAbhimAni dEvata-s

without being seen by us. Only when we meditate with our knowledge

about His existence in those pratima-s, does He exhibit Himself by

those rUpa-s, nAma-s, shapes and provides His daRshana to his

devotees.
