Subject: Re: Saranagathi Tributes to MahA Lakshmi : Part II


  
 I was in receipt of this mail indicating manthrams. Wherein it is different 
from some familiar verses to my know ledge. I am indicating the same . Pl 
inform the correctness such that the correct one may be memerised......... 
  SrI : Dear Sri Devi BhakthAs : SrI Sooktham , Sri Nanjeeyar's BhAshyam for it 
, Swamy Desikan's BhAshyamfor ChathusslOki ,ShraddhA Sooktham , Adhithi 
Sooktham are other PramANamsfor understanding the Vaibhavam of SrI Devi 
celebrated in Swamy Desikan'sSrI Sthuthi , which arose in front of MahA Laskhmi 
at Kaanchipuram or Srirangamare additional references for understanding MahA 
Lakshmi Tatthvam . Let us focus on Adhithi Sooktham , Vaag Sooktham and 
NaacchiyAr SambhAvanAManthrams today in this context . 1. Adhithi 
Sooktham**************************Adhidhi Sooktham is in celebration of Adhdhi 
Devi , who is none other thanMahA Lakshmi . One version of the Adhidhi Sooktham 
is housed in AruNamPrachnam 1-13.4 . The other versions are at TaitthirIya 
Upanishad , the First KaaNDamof Samhithai . They all salute MahA Lakshmi or Her 
VibhUthi , BhUmi Devi .Vaag Sooktham is about VaaNi , who is the dharma Pathnee 
of Lord HayagrIvanin SrI HayagrIvAvathAram . Sriamthy Subha Venkatesan of 
Thiruvenkatam list sent us recentlythe Tamil translations from an out of print 
Text of Adhithi , SraddhA ,Vaag Sookthams   as well as commentary in Tamil on 
the individualnames of Sri Lakshmi AshtOttharam . adiyEn will draw from them 
tocomment on Swamy Desikan's SrI Sthuthi .   
  >>>>>> 
  "Adhithi-dhyour-anthariksham , Adhidhir-MaathA sa PithA sa Puthra: , 
  to be  as "Adhithi-dhyour-Adhithiranthariksham , Adhidhir-MaathA sa PithA sa 
PuthraHa: , 
  >>>>  VisvEdEvAAdhithi: panchajanA: , Adhithir-jAthamadhithirjanithvam "to be 
as VisvEdEvA Adhithi: panchajanAHa: , Adhithir-jAthamadhithirjanithvam " 
   The above is the Text of Adhithi Sooktham about MahA Lakshmi . (Meaning): 
Adhithi is Svarga lokam as well as anthariksha lOkam( that between heaven and 
Earth ). She is SarvAthmikai ( present inall forms ) as Mother , Father and Son 
.The Five kinds of people orJnan~Endhriyams are manifestations ( VibhUthis) of 
Her . Nanjeeyaridentifies the Pancha Janams as the five Jn~Endhriyams and 
SaayanArelates the Pancha JanAs to the five kinds of Jaathis : Brahmin 
,Kshathriya , Vaisya , Soodhra and NishAdha Jaathi people . She isof the form 
of all that has been created and those to be created yet.  
  >>>> Bhatta bAskara says different pancha janA I suppose. Any one can point 
out if possible. 
   2. NaacchiyAr SambhAvanA

Nanjeeyar's comments on the specific Manthra 
BhAgams*************************************************************************In
 his SrI Sooktha BhAshyam , Nanjeeyar comments on the keywords of the Vaag 
Sooktham to reveal the identity of Vaag Devi asMahA Lakshmi ( wife of Lord 
HayagrIvan in that avathAram of Her Lord ). Najeeyar intreprets "ananthAm " to 
mean that SrI Devi is not limited byDesam , Kaalam and Vasthu . He intreprets " 
VaachAm dEvA: " asthe One Iswari Tatthvam to be worshipped by all chEtanams 
includingthe DevAs . The word " YaamrushyA: " in this manthram also refers 
toHer being the fit object of worship by all ." Vaachee mE VisvA: " 
isunderstood as the basis for all the Universe . " Amruthasya Naabhi:"according 
to Nanjeeyar means that She is Sarva Rakshakai . By the salutation ,"Indhra 
Pathnee" , She is recognized as the Supremely rich VishNu Pathni . Meaning of 
the Vaag Sooktham according to SaayanaachArya 
:********************************************************************************The
 dEvAs thrive through the Vaak " Indhraaya SvAhA ". They earntheir food ( 
bhOjanam) through food offered in the homam invokingthe mantram : "IndhrAya 
SvAhaa". The reason(factor) behind their food isVaak . Therefore , the havis 
offering consecrated with this manthrambecomes the life-sustaining cause for 
the dEvAs . There is no kaala-dEsa-Vasthu limitations to that Vaak (Vaag Devi). 
The utterer isDeva Guru Brahaspathy ; the listener is Indhran , the king of 
DevAs.Thousand deva ayanam is the time for reciting Vedams and yet dEvAsdo not 
reach the end of the time for adhyayanam ( Vedic recitation ) .It is bigger 
than ParamEswaran .That Vaak is of PraNava Svaroopam .It is of two kinds : 
samskrutham and apasabdham and is united withsix languages : PrAkrutham , 
PaisAsam et al . Therefore , it is very big.As mentioned before , all the dEvAs 
sustain themselves with the Vaakinvoked at the time of AahUthi. GandharvAs also 
sustain themselveswith that Vaak. The animals also sustain themselves with that 
HambhAravaroopa Vaak. Therefore all chEtanams carry on with ther sustenanceand 
existence through the grace and power of that Vaak (Vaag Devi) . May that Vaag 
Devi, the protectress of IndhrA accept our Havis !Vaak is the imperishable 
Brahmam . She is the Mother of Vedams .She is the cause for attaining the 
status of DevAs . May She arrive atour Yaj~nam with affection ! May She become 
my protectress andrespond to my call to arrive here and protect me ! May She be 
ofeasy of approach and rspond readily to my call ! The intelligent sages 
likeVasishtA and other rishis (Mantra sampradhAya PravartakAs )use with effort 
the power of their fierce penance to attain Her .We offer our worship to that 
Sri DEvi of such eminence . May She blessus and place us in the lOkam , which 
is filled with PuNyams . We will study SraddhA Sooktham ( 2 Versions ) next and 
then plunge in tothe anubhavam of Swamy Desikan's SrI Sthuthi next .  
  >>> Bhatta bhaskara bhashyam will be more relevant. 
  Vasu vadhyar or any body can pl enlighten me.
