The Fifth SlOkam of Sri
Sthuthi
*****************************************

VishNus-Thvam chEthyanavadhi guNam dhvandhavam anyOnya
lakshayam
Seshascchittham
vimalamanasAm mouLayasccha SrutheenAm
sampadhyanthE viharaNa vidhou Yasya SayyA viSEshaa :
( Meaning) : Oh Periya PirAtti ! You
and Your Lord are always together
as a matchless inseperable pair .
In this state of union of Yours , the love
for each other does not diminish even
an iota at any time . You as a pair
are eternal in existence . Either of
You do not part with the other . There are
no limits to each of Your kalyANa
guNams . When introducing You both as
a pair , we have to introduce each of
You in relation to the other . For instance ,
Your Lord is introduced as "Sriya:
Pathi " and You are introduced as
"VishNu Pathni " . One has to be
referred to with sambhandham to the other .
There are three prefered places for You
both for play and to rest in "nidhrA Yogam " .
These are ; (1) at the bed of Adhi
Seshan (2) on the heart lotuses of pure minded yOgis
meditating on You both always and (3)
On the top of VedAnthams ( Upanishads) ,
which always praise
both of Your Vaibhavams
.
Addiitional Observations
on the individual SlOkam passages:
******************************************************************************
(1) The key passages
here are : " VishNu : Thvam cha ithi ,
dhvandhvam
anyOnya Lakshyam ( The pair represented by Yourself and
Your Lord
is to be known
(understood ) only by reference to each other . Both of
You are inseperable
from each other ( nithyA anapAyam)
. She is referrd to
as " Tath
Dharma DharmiNi " to
denote Her inseperable relationship
with Her
Lord.
(2) The bond of
uninterrupted ( ever present ) love between You as a
pair
holds You tightly
together( NishprathyUha PraNaya gaDitham )
.
(3) Both of You have
special places for your mutual enjoyment and You
prefer
three places as Your special bed (SayyA
VisEsha: ) . These are :
(a) bed of Sesha: ( the
Thousand hooded Adhi Seshan ) , (b) the
untainted
minds of the Yogis ( Vimala manasAm chittha : ) and (c) Top of the Crown
of
the Vedams ( SrutheenAm MouLaya: )
.
(4) The bond of love that
binds You both in an inseperable state propells
You to declare that You will
never be without each other even for a second .
Oh Periya PirAtti ! You take
the appropriate roopam to accompany Your Lord
in every avathAram of
His :
" Bhagavan
NaarAyaNa-abhimatha- anuroopa-svaroopa-guNa vibhava-iswarya
SeelAdhi-anavadhikkaathisaya-asankyEya- kalyANa-guNa-
gaNAm- PadhmAvanAlayAm
Bhagavtheem Sriyam Deveem
nithyAnapAyineem niravadhyAm DevadEva-
dhivya Mahisheem
akhila-jaganmAtharam (asman Maatharam)
aSaraNya-SaraNyAm
ananyaSaraNa:
SaraNam-aham prapadhyE "
--- AchArya RaamAnujA's
SaraNAgathy Gadhyam ; 1st ChoorNikai .
(Meaning according to Sri
K.R.KrishNaswAmi ) : "Sriman NaarayanA's most-beloved
,
deserving and (the One)
abounding in divine qualities like Svaroopa, Roopa , GuNa,
Vibhava , Iswarya , SeelA
(and such endlessly exquisite / rare / innumerable KalyANa
guNAs); You are Bhagavathy ,
SrI Devi; You dwell in the lotus garden ; (You are)
never seperated from Your
Lord ; (You have ) not an iota of defect or flaw; (You
are)
NaarAyaNA's divine consort ;
You are the Mother of the Universe ; Oh our Mother ,
Protector of the helpless, I
who has no other refuge , surrender unto You
".
(5) SrI Devi matches in
every way to Her Lord with respect to His Roopam ,
Svaroopam,
GuNam etc ; If He is " hEya
sambhandha rahitha poorNa ShAdguNya vigrahan "
( One
who is free from
any blemish or dhOsham and has the six guNams of
Jn~Anam
, Sakthi ,
Balam , Iswaryam and tEjas ) , She matches Him
in every measure
.
(6)Two VishNu PurANa slOkams
shows Her perfect Match with Her Lord
and Her inseperability with
Her Lord :
nithyaivaishA JaganmAthA
VishNO; SrIranapAyinee
YaTA sarvagathO
VishNus-tataivEyam dvijOtthama
---- VishNu PurAnam :
1.8.17
(meaning) : Oh the best among
Brahmins ! She is the Mother of the Universe ,
dearest to Her Lord and is
the One , who never leaves His presence even for
one second (
ahalahillEn iRayum AlarmEl Mangai) . Just as Her Lord is
Sarva-
VyApi ( pervades every where
) , She is also Sarva VyApini.
arthO VishNuriyam VaaNee
neethirEsha nayO Hari:
BhOdhO Vishnuriyam Buddhi:
dharmOasou sathkriyA dhviyam
---- VishNu PurANam :
1.8.18
(Meaning):VishNu is the
meaning ( PoruL); MahA Lakshmi is the sabdham
(Sound) expressing that
meaning . She stays as the NyAya Saasthram and
He (Hari) is present as the
NyAyam .Our Lord is Jn~Anam and She is
the tool(upakaraNam ) for
that Jn~Anam with the name of Buddhi .
He is the Dharmam , while She
is the sath Karmam , which executes
that dharmam
.
(7) She matches Her
Lord in every way and compliments Him in other ways
and is the Empress of the
Universe , while being His divine consort
(" asyEsAnA JagathO VishNu
Pathnee ' according to Yajus-samhithai ).
(8) According to SrI Sooktam
: " She is the Goddess of Beauty , Plenty
and Prosperity , the
Ruler and the Mother of the Universe . OudhAryA-
magnanimity is an integral
part of Her nature . Poverty and Ignorance
shy away , when She makes Her
appearance " .
This
Fifth SlOkam is recited for the growth in VedAntha
VidhyA since
She sports on top of VedAntham ( Moulayasccha SrutheenAm sayyA
VisEshA: sampadhyanthE ).
