rUpave sudIpavu = offering tEjas - agni rUpa is like offering various dIpa-s and maMgaLARti-s

'jala' - means water, 'ja' means the lotus flower. 'nAbha' - navel. Thus, that person who created the lotus flower from His navel being none other than the PadmanAbha rUpi ParamAtma. Thus 'jalajanAbha' is PadmanAbha rUpi ParamAtma. After carrying out sUxma sR^iShti, as per His saMkalpa He created a Golden Lotus flower from His navel which had 14 petals. chatuRmukha Brahma was born here. Brahma is therefore also known as hiraNyagaRbha.

 

JagannAtha dAsa says, by firmly fixing the image of jalanAbha, we must offer of our pUja to Him, understanding with clear devotion He is Supreme.

 

JagannAtha dAsa explains that according to the R^itu of the year we would experience winter, summer, monsoon or breezy weather and it may perhaps be difficult to bear these seasons. However, we must realize that the seasons appear as per the regulation of ParamAtma and that they are under His control. Therefore we should bear these seasons without condemning them and meditate upon the PadmanAbha rUpi ParamAtma thinking thus:-

 

      -bhUmi supports the gaMdha (smell). The fragrance of flowers grown on the Earth is being offered for ParmAtma.

      -apa tatva supports rasa (taste). The shaDrasa from the fruits and foods is being offered for ParamAtma.

      -tEjasa supports rUpa (sight). We are able to see because of tEjasa (light). The tEjas is being offered as dIpa (lamps)                 for ParmAtma.

      -vAyu tatva supports spaRsha (touch). The blowing wind is being offered as chAmara (fan) for ParamAtma.

      -AkAsha supports shabda (hearing). The various sounds like that of thunder & lightening, waves of the sea, chirping of the birds, sounds of animals, and whatever we speak is being offered as music for ParamAtma.

 

We should thus offer as above to the all pervading ParamAtma.
