In the previous stanza, JagannAtha dAsa explained the scheme of offering the experiences of vishaya-s from iMdriya-s to ParamAtma. In this stanza he explains the process of offering pUja by kaRma-s, and the sUxma tatva-s like manas, buddhi etc..

 

Sometimes the sajjana-s (good persons) also do pApakaRma-s. These may not be done by purpose but it could be due to ignorance, due to asurAvEsha, or due to a curse. All these must be offered to ParamAtma as His footwear. The footwear thumps the pApa-s and destroys them. Thus the jIva obtains the anugraha of ParamAtma. Thus 'pApakaRmavu pAdukegaLanu'.

 

One would obtain puNya phala by satsaMga, dAna, dhaRma etc., xEtra yAtra, listening to pravachana-s. These must be offered to ParamAtma as gaMdha for His pUja. When one applies parimaLa sugaMdha to ones sharIra, it keeps the body cool and makes a person happy. When we approach Him saying, " Oh God, You are the one who resides in me and does all these puNya kaRma-s and makes me do them. I am offering these to you. " Then ParamAtma develops affection for His devotee and He multiplies that puNya phala for the benefit of the devotee blessing him with good health, long life & wealth. Thus 'lEpanavu satpuNya'.

 

'shAstrAlApana' means listening, learning, understanding and discussing about shrIman madhvashArta, bhAgavata pUrANa, brahma sUtra, paMcharAtragama, bhArata and offering these at the feet of ParamAtma as tuLasi. shrItulasi is the adhiShThAna for ramAdEvi. ParamAtma accepts all offerings via ramAdEvi. ParamAtma does not accept any pUja without shrI tuLasi. ramAdEvi is the abhimAni dEvata for vEda-s. Knowledge comes from vEda-s alone. Thus 'shAstrAlApana' alone is shrI tuLasi for ParamAtma.

 

manas understands the vishaya-s. When we direct our manas towards good thoughts then those vishaya-s are the manOvR^itti-s, these manOvR^itti-s are deemed as sumanOvR^itti-s should be offered as 'sumana' (fragrant flowers) offered to ParamAtma.

 

Anger is one of the arishaDvaRga-s - kAma, krOdha, lObha, mOha, mada and mAtsaRya (Anger, Lust, Greed, Infatuation, Pride and Jealousy respectively). The manas gets impure by anger. The sajjana-s must have anger for ayOgya-s, nAstika-s, and enemies of ParamAtma and detractors of ParamAtma. This is indeed their good quality and termed as anger. This anger is like fire. When we put dashAMga (a fragrance emanating powder) in agni it emanates a fragrant smoke which is offered as 'dhUpa' to ParamAtma. The above type of anger must be offered as 'dhUpa' to ParamAtma.

 

Our love to ParamAtma should be more than the love we display to our wife and children. Such intense love towards ParamAtma is indeed bhakti. This must be true from the heart. Only then it could be offered to ParamAtma as jewelry/ornaments.

 

buddhi understands the sadvishaya-s through the manas and is the topmost of the vR^itti-s. sadbuddhi must be engrossed in sadvishaya-s. That is the umbrella we must offer to ParamAtma. The umbrella protects a person from sunshine and dust. In the same way, sadbuddhi help us to obtain a balanced knowledge and it multiplies our meditation on the all pervading ParamAtma. We should offer this as the umbrella for ParamAtma.

 

Balanced knowledge is power. That knowledge which does not doubt about the all powerful ParamAtma is suj~nAna. This suj~nAna must be offered as dIpa to ParamAtma.

 

The ARti-s we offer during pUja is indeed - process of praising ParamAtma. Praising the excellent qualities of ParamAtma is 'guNakatana'. This must be offered as ARti to ParamAtma.
