Dear BhakthAs of SrI Lakshmi
Nrusimhan :
This slOkam is recited
to gain Keerthi in this world & to thrive .
ThvAmEvAhu: kathichith aparE

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 ).
