[Guest guest]

SrI :

 

Dear BhakthAs of SrI Lakshmi Nrusimhan :

 

The 15th slOkam is recited for the sustenance of the undiminishing wealth .

This is one of the famous slOkams of SrI Sthuthi praising the power of

Sri DEvi's KaruNA Kataksham :

 

Aarta-thrANa vrathibhi: amritAsAra-neelAmbhuvAhai:

ambhOjAnAm ushasi mishatAm antarangair-apAngai:

yasyAm yasyAm diSi viharatE Devi! drushti: ThvadheeyA

tasyAm tasyAm ahamahamikaam tanvatE sampadhOghA:

 

(Anvaya Kramam): Devi ! Aartha thrANa vrathibhi: , amrutha AasAra neela ambhu

vaahai: , ushasi mishathAm ambhOjAnAm antharangai:, apAngai: , yasyAm yasyAm

diSi ThvadheeyA: dhrushti viharathE , tasyAm tasyAm sampadh OghA:

ahamahamikAm tanvathE .

 

The key message of this slOkam is : wherever the beautiful glances of MahA

Lakshmi

roam/ rest , the flood of wealth showers in all those directions . The different

kinds of

wealth compete with each other to be there first .

 

Meaning according to Dr. M.NarasimhAchAry:

**********************************************************

Oh Mother ! All prosperities come and rushing , competing with each other

as it were , in whichever direction your beautiful , nectarine , lotus-like

glances

turn .

 

Meaning according to Villivalam Sri Narayanachar Swamy

***************************************************************************

Oh DEvi ! Your glances are like the blossoming red lotus at dawn .

They have vowed to protect the afflicted . They are like the blue clouds

raining nectar . Whichever directions these auspicious glances fall ,

in all those directions, the flood of wealth compete with each other to be

there first .

 

Additional observations on this slOkam passages :

*****************************************************************

(1)Oh Devi ! You are saluted as " MahA VibhUthyai nama: " ( the possessor

of indescribable Iswaryams ) , " KalyANa dhAyinyai nama: " ( One who grants

all kinds of auspiciousness ). Your other name is " amrutha dhArA "

( one who pours down Her nectrine anugrahams on Her devotees).

You are saluted as " Aarthi Naasinyai nama: " ( One who has vowed to

destroy the sufferings of Your devotees ) . In consonance with the meaning

of these Sahasra NaamAs of Yours , Your most beautiful glances trigger

an outpouring of wealth , wherever they fall .

 

(2) Oh Divine Consort of our Lord ! You are an " Aartha-thrANa Vrathy " and

as such You are committed to wipe away the tears of Your suffering children .

When Your beautiful glances fall on any one of these suffering people ,

it is like being drenched in the showers of nectar from a rain bearing cloud

( amrutha AasAra neelAmBhuvAhairiva) .

 

(3) the glances from those dayA-laden eyes are beautiful like the lotus flower

(ambhOjAnAm) blossoming in the morning (ushasi mishathAm) and those

glances have a close friendship (antharangai: apAngai: ) to the Lotus flower .

 

4) Those compassionate glances of this Aartha thrANa vrathy roam in

all directions to recognize the suffering children of Hers and in whichever

directions thoss glances fall ( yasyAm yasyAm diSi viharathy Devi dhrushti:

ThvadheeyA) , a miracle happens . That miracle is the competitive rushing of

the different floods of wealth (SampadhOgA: ) , wherever Her galnces have

fallen

( TasyAm tasyAm diSi sampadhOgA: ahamahamikAm tanvathE ).

 

5) These different categories of wealth rush to be there first , where MahA

Lakshmi's

glances have fallen . " Naann munthy Neen munthy " (ahamahamikAm) is the pattern

of

the race among these wealths to fulfill the command of their Mistress .

 

May such wealth shower on this important AchArya Thirunakshathra

Kaimkaryam with the intercession of SrI DEvi !
