biMbarUpanu = biMbarUpi ParamAtma

I teradi = as described earlier

jaDa = in jaDa achala pratima-s

poMbasura = Brahma dEvaru (ponnu = golden, basura = womb. Meaning - 'hiraNyagaRbha' nAmaka chatuRmukha Brahma

modalAda = Brahma and others

suraroLage = in tatvAbhimani dEvata-s

iMbugoMDihaneMdu = pervades in sahaja rUpa

aridu = with this knowledge understanding

dhaRma = dhaRma for the world

aRtha = non-permanent wealth

kAmagaLa = desires

haMbaliside = without expecting them

anudinadi = everyday

vishvakuTuMbi = ParamAtma who has the world as His family

koTTa = given according to the kaRma of the jIva

kaNAnna = broken rice pieces

kutsita kaMbaLiye = very small torn woolen blanket (indication of poverty)

soubhAgyaveMdu = great fortune

avana =biMba rUpi ParamAtma

aMghrigaLa = His Lotus Feet

bhajisu = praise His Holy Name

 

Since biMba rUpi ParamAtma resides in the hearts of all chEtana-s, the jIva-s are the pratibiMba of shrI Hari. All the tasks performed by the sharIra are stimulated by biMba rUpi ParamAtma. He is the prEraka and the pratibiMba chEtana-s are the prERya-s.

 

Thus the all-prEraka pervades in the achala pratima and displays His vibhUti rUpa for those who perform pUja of the pratima-s by process of tatvannyAsa-matR^ikAnyAsa.

 

In the same way, biMba rUpi by His aMtaRyAmi rUpa in chatuRmukha Brahma and other dEvata-s and tatvAbhimAni dEvata-s accepts their sEva. shrImannArAyaNa  while resting on the xIrasamudra (as PadmanAbha) the unusual Lotus flower shooting out from His navel had 14 radiant golden petals. Brahma dEvaru was created there. That's a reason why Brahma is also referred as 'hiraNyagaRbha' which is referred in this stanza by JagannAtha dAsa as 'poMbasura' - golden womb. This brahmAMDa is the sharIra of Brahma dEvaru. And the 14 petals indicate the 14 lOka-s (bhUlOka, bhuvaralOka, swargalOka, mahaRlOka, janolOka, tapolOka, satyalOka, ataLa, vitaLa, sutaLa, talataLa, rasAtaLa, mahAtaLa and pAtAlA).

 

Thus, biMba rUpi ParamAtma pervades in His eldest son (Brahma dEvaru) by the name 'aja' and performs sR^iShTi.

 

In the same way He pervades in His biMba rUpa in the abhimAni dEvata-s of the chaturaviMshati tatva-s (24 tatva-s) listed in -

and performs the tatva kARya-s and regulates them too.

 

We must realize the astounding fact that ParamAtma is the prime supporter for the entire chEtanAchEtana world by enmeshing Himself everywhere with proper knowledge. The chatuRvidha puruShARtha-s (dharma, aRtha, kAma & mOxa) must enable us to take the path of sAdhana but not become our roadblocks.

By following dhaRma we obtain puNya.

With aRtha (wealth) we enjoy the real worldly benefits.

kAma (our desires) must be in the direction of seeking ParamAtma and not only for sensual pleasures.

 

Thus JagannAtha dAsa cautions us " dhaRmARthakAmagaLa haMbalisidanudinadi " . ParamAtma is the Lord of this Universe and He is the Regulator of the Universe. All chEtana-s and jaDa-s are under His control, He is thus " vishvakuTuMbi " . Thus whatever He provides to the chEtana-s is the true puruShARtha. Whatever He bestows - according to the previous kaRma phala of the chEtana-s - whether it is gaMji (thin porridge / gruel of rice) or kutsita kaMbaLi (torn blanket), we should consider that as our great fortune and always praise His Holy Name at His Lotus Feet.
