SrI :
 
Dear BhakthAs of SrI Lakshmi Nrusimhan :
 
This slOkam is recited to gain Keerthi in this world & to thrive .
 
ThvAmEvAhu: kathichith aparE Thvath-Priyam LokanATam
      kim thair-antha: kalaha-malinai: kimchith utterya magnai:
Thvath Sampreetyai viharathy Harau sammukheenAm SrutheenAm
      bhAvArUDhau Bhagavathy ! YuvAm Dampathee dhaivatham na:     
 
( Meaning according to Dr. M.NarasimhAchAry ):
************************************************************* 
Some speak of You alone as the Supreme Power , while some others
speak of Your beloved exclusively as the Supreme . But our firm conviction
is that You the couple , constitute the Godhead .
 
(Meaning according to Vaikunta Vaasi Villivalam NaarAyaNAcchAr Swamy ) :
***********************************************************************************************
Bhagavathy ! Some say that You are the Supreme ( PradhAnam) . Others say
Your Lord is the PradhAnam. Let these  people with such diametrically opposite
views quarrel like those who climb and fall . Let these little men , who quarrel
between among themselves after they arrive at an auspicious matter , do what
they please ! Indeed , Your Lord  engages in the sport of Creation of the Universe  
etc for Your delight . When He does all these for Your pleasure , both of You
residing at the center of Sruthis as the Divine Couple , are our Para Devathi . 
 
(Expanded meaning according to Vaikunta Vaasi Sri V.N.SrIrAma DesikAchAr ) : 
******************************************************************
Oh MahA Devi ! There are many mathams and they have different
views about Your Tattvam . Some say that You are the Empress
of this universe. Using this view as their central belief , they intrepret
this view in different ways. One group states that You and NaarAyaNan
are only one AathmA but have two seperate bodies . Another group
believes that EmperumAn is called as Lakshmi and there is no
seperate form for Lakshmi . Yet another group advocates that
NaarAyaNan creates You for enjoying pleasure just as He took on
Mohini Roopam during the churning for amrutham to bewitch
the AsurAs . Few others say that NaarAyaNan has taken the female
form and has the name of Lakshmi to unite with Her permanently .
A select few  believe that You are the Supreme most being over
and above the three tatvams of ChEtanam , achEtanam and Iswaran.
Thus all of these groups accept You , Bhagavathy , as SarvEswari
and yet argue with each other along the above lines .
 
Opposing this view that Lakshmi is SarvEswari , a group denies
Your SarvEswarathvam and insist that NaarAyaNan is the Lord of 
the entire universe (SarvEswaran) and that You (Lakshmi )  has no
claim to be called Iswari . They claim that you are a visEsha Jeevan .
 
These two groups that insist and reject  Iswarathvam for Lakshmi argue
vehemently for their points of view and become exhausted . These people
declare that  their views are backed by SaasthrAs and are unable to establish
their points of views (i-e) they come forward to accept that Lakshmi is
a seperate Tatthvam and accept Her Vaibhavam but they fall apart by not accepting
the Iswarathvam ( nature of Being Iswari) of Lakshmi .
 
Oh Devi with all auspicous attributes ! Our SiddhAntham is quite different .
We believe that Your Lord engages in acts such as Creation of the beings of
the world for Your pleasure (amusement ) . The VedAs appear to be talking
about Him alone , when looked superficially . If one studies the Vedams
deeply , it becomes clear that the inner meaning of the VedAs is about
revering You both as equal . VedAs have also explicitly stated the above views .
Therefore , We consider Both of You as Para Devathai . During the performance of
Prapatthi , One has to accept both of You as UpAyam (means) for the offering of
the AathmA . In some Yaj~nams , SaasthrAs point out that one has to combine
two dEvathAs in to One and offer the Havis to that united DEvathai. Therefore ,
One has to have BOTH OF YOU  as the target to offer the AathmA as the Havis
and THUS conclude the Prapatthi Yaj~nam successfully . As a fruit of that offering ,
the Muktha Jeevan should perform Nithya Kaimkaryam to BOTH OF YOU
at Your Supreme abode. Both of You together shine as upAyam
and phalan .  
 
Additional Observations on the passages of the 7th slOkam of SrI Sthuthi
*********************************************************************************************
1) " Bhagavathy ! kathichith ThvAm yEva aahu: " ( Some aver that You alone
are the Iswari / Supreme Being and the Empress of the World) .
 
2) " aparE Thvath Priyam LokanATam aahu: " ( Others insist that it is Your
dear husband , who is the SarvEswaran).
 
3) These opposing groups dispute each other and get up and fall down
( antha: kalaha malinai: kinchith uttheerya magnai: ) .
 
4) What is the use of these disputants ? ( kim Thai: ? ) .
 
5) Your dear husband performs all the Leelais ( Srushti , RakshaNam
and SamhAram ) to gladden Your heart ( Thvath sampreethyai: Viharathy
Hari : ).
 
6) The VedAs focusing on Hari have the core conviction that You as
the Couple ( Husband and Wife) are our Para DEvathai ( Harou SammukeenAm
srutheenAm bhAva aarUdau , Dampathy YUVAAM na: DHAIVATHAM ).
