SrI:

Dear Sudarsana BhakthAs:

Today , we will bask under the warmth of 
the 3rd and the 4th slOkams of SrI Sudarsana 
Sathakam. 

SlOkam 3:
**********

poorNe poorais-sudhAnAm sumahathi
lasathassOma BhimBhAlavAlE
BaahA saakhAvaruddha kshithi-
gagana dhivascchakrarAja-dhrumasya
jyOthiscchadhmA pravALa: praKAditha
sumanas-samphadhutthamsa LakshmIm
pushNan nAsAmukhEshu pradhisathu
bhavathAm samprakarsham praharsham

Here the boon granting Sudarsana BhagavAn
is visualized as the Karpakaa tree and the abundance of
flowers on that boon-yielding dhivya vruksham is
described.The recitation of the slOkam will remove
one's worries and klEsams and confer undecaying 
happiness to the upAsakan. 

The benediction by SrI Koora NaarAyaNa Jeeyar is:

" JyOthi: BhavathAm praharsham pradhisathu "

May the JyOthi of Sudarsanar confer on You 
supreme Joy !

(Meaning of the SlOkam): The JyOthi of Lord 
Sudarsanar is the embodiment of perfection and is
filled with amrutha pravAham /nectarine flow
( PoorNE poorai: sudhAnAm).It shines in the glorious
fields of chandra bhimbham ( Sumathi lasath 
Soma BhimBhAlavAlE). This ChakrarAjan shines like
the KalpagA tree , whose sacred hands spread 
everywhere from Earth, Sky and Svarga lOkam 
and is notable for its abundance of flowers
on those branches . The jyOthi spreads everywhere
and adorns all it touches as SirObhUshanam . 
It exceeds the wealth seen at Deva lOkam and
beautifies all it touches.May this tender shoot
of Sudarsana JyOthi grant You the rarest kind
of exultation and Joy !

Additional Notes:
*****************

The comparison of the JyOthi of Lord Sudarsanar
to Kalpa dhrumam ( Kalpaka tree) is beautiful.
This divine tree is known for its power to grant
all the boons that one seeks. In the previous slOkam ,
the benediction was : " ChAkram Maha: BhUthayE va: sphurathu".
The tEjas of ChakrarAjan was invoked there to confer undiminishing
wealth. Here, the prayer is for conferral of Supreme joy.

In this slOkam , Lord SudarsanA's JyOthi , the power behind 
that boon granting capability is visualized as the celestial
KalpakA tree/creeper known for its abundance of beautiful 
white blossoms (flowers). Pushpa samruddhi reminds the poet
of the cool rays of the comforting Moon with its abundant 
nectraine flow . The branches of this tree filled with 
flowers is visualized as reaching every direction on
earth, sky and svarga lOkam .VyApthi and unfettered 
presence of Sudarsana JyOthis is indicated here .
That jYothi is blemishless and perfect (PoorNam). 
That JyOthi is filled with rejuvenating nectar 
( SudhAnAm poorai:).It deines the wealth of the dEvAs
( JyOthis-cchadhmA pravALa: prakaDitha Sumanas-
sampadhutthamsa LakshmIm).

SrI KooranArAyaNa Jeeyar prays to this powerful and
yet tender sprouts of Sudarsana JyOthi to confer 
superior ( saprakarsham ) Joy that stands out.
Praharsham is extreme joy or rapture. Jeeyar prays
that "Praharsham"(Joy) is delivered with " Saprakarsham "
( exceedingly well ). The complete prayer is:

"Chakra Raaja JyOthi: bhavathAm saprakarsham
Praharsham pradhisathu ". 

SlOkam 4:
*********

aarAdhArAth sahasrAth visarathi
vimathakshEpa dhakshAdhya dhakshAth
naabhEr-bhAsvath-nAbhEr nijabhava
paricchinna bhUmEsccha nEmE:
aamnAyair-EkakaNDai: sthutha-
mahimamahO Maadhaveeyasya hEthE:
TaddhvO dhikshvEdamAnam chathasrushu
chatura; pushyatAth pUrushArTAn 

The prayer and revelation here is that 
the tEjas/JyOthi of ChakrarAjan arising from
all His limbs will bless uswith all the four 
PurushArTams: aRam,poruL, inbham , veedu (Dharma,
arTa, Kaama mOksham).

This Chakram of the Lord has the glory of being 
praised with one voice (yEka KaNdam) by the VedAs 
(AamnAyai: yEka kaNDai:sthutha:).The JyOthi from 
that HethirAjan spreads from aram to aram , 
from aksham to aksham and from Naabhi to aram 
and from aram to aksham and back and forth.It is
a continous , great ball of flames enveloping
Lord Sudrsanan. It is a mangaLa jyOthi. 

(meaning ): The limbs of Sudarsana BhagavAn are
Aram , Aksham , Naabhi and nEmi. The JwAlai that
shoots out of these limbs of the Lord is revered as
Sudarsana JwAlai. May that Sudarsana JwAlai confer on You 
the boons of the four kinds of life's quests! 

Additional Notes: 
*****************
Aram means the spokes of a wheel orspokes of 
a round rotating entity.Here, it is the spoke of 
a time wheel (Kaala chakram) as well.ArANAm samUha: 
(assembly of Aram) is derived as Aaaram here .

Aksha: means axle .

naabhi means navel or navel like cavity or 
the nave of a wheel or epicenter of a wheel.

nEmi means the circumference of a wheel.

All these four limbs of HethirAjan genarate
abundant , sacred JyOthi that has the power
to confer the four-fold purushArTams on 
the UpAsakAs.

There will be detailed salutations to these four 
limbs of Lord Sudarsana in the subsequent slOkams
of this Sathakam by Koora NaarAyana Jeeyar .

Jaya Jaya SrI Sudarshana , Jaya Jaya SrI Sudarsna
