Oh ShivA, I shall become proficient in your Archana, stotra and meditation

when I have built a bridge in the Ocean like Rama , press the mountain into

my palm like Agastya and when I surpass the Brahama who came into being from

the Lotus belly button of Lord Vishnu.

*

Commentary*

 

*hE siva* = Hey! Mangalamoorthy!

*yadhaa* = when;

*kruthaambhOnidhisethubandhana:* = (I have become one) who has built a

bridge across the ocean;

*karasthalaadha: kruthaparvathaadhipa:* = (I have become one) who has by his

palm sunk the (vindhyaa) mountain to paathaala;

*langithapathmasambhava *= like the awe inspiring Brahma who rose from the

padmam of the navel of Vishnu;

*thadhaa* = at that point;

*thE* = to you;

*archaasthavabhaavanaakshama:* = to be an expert in poojanam, sthOthram,

dhyaanam etc.;

*bhavaani* = let me become.

 

Hey! ParamEswara! Please do not give up on me on account that I have not

done any sevaa to you., Actually I have been waiting to do sevaa to you

only all along. But I did not get that bhaagyam so far. Even that bhaagyam

has to happen only by your grace. Please do your arul to me for that. When

you do that then I will be like Raaghava who built a huge and wide bridge

across the ocean and did Sivalinga Pradhishtaa and performed siva

lakshaarchana with lots of bilvadhaLams. If I were Agasthya Maharshi who by

his little palm pushed the huge Vindhya Mountain down into paathaaLa loka to

quell its garvam in growing, I would be singing sthuthis on you. If I were

that thapO moorthy Brahma who is capable of chanting all the four vEdhas at

the same time with his four heads then I would be doing dhyaanam of you all

the time.

 

I do not have any of these capabilities to do poojanam, bhajanam and

dhyaanam. However my mind has layam only in you. So, Hey! ParamEswara!

When am I going to do archana in your padhma dhaLam? When am I going to

sing like the great rishis and jump in joy? When am I going to keep your

mangaLa vigraham in my heart and do the constant dhyaanam?

 

Aum Namasivaaya!
