The Fifth SlOkam of Sri Sthuthi
*****************************************
nishprathyUha praNaya gaDitham Devi nithyAnapAyam
    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 ).
