SrI :
 
Dear BhakthAs of SrI Lakshmi Nrusimhan :
 
The 14th slOkam is recited to remove the curses (Saapams) 
incurred due to apachArams to BhagavathAs :
 
AalOkya ThvAm amrutha-sahajE VishNu vaksha: sTalasTAm
    SaapAkrAnthA: SaraNam agaman sAvarOdhA: surEndhrA:
laBdhvA bhUyas-thribhuvanamidham lakshitham Thvath-katAkshai:
     sarvAkAra  sTira samudhayAm sampadham nirvisanthy
 
( anvya Karamam=Prose order) :   Amrutha SahajE ! Saapa AakrAnthA:
sAvarhOdhA: sura indhirA: VishNu vakshalasTAm  ThvAm AalOkya
SaraNam agaman . Thvath katAkshai:  lakshitham idham thribhuvanam
bhUya: laBdhvA , sarva AakAra sTira samudhayAm sampadham nirvisanthy .   
 
 Meaning according to Dr. M.NarasimhAchAry :
***********************************************************
You are the sister of Nectar .The accursed gods resorted to You and
regained their prosperity , which became permanent in all aspects.
 
 Meaning according to Vaikunta Vaasi according to  Villivalam Narayanachar  Swamy:
**********************************************************************************************************
Oh Amrutha SahOdhari ! The best among the DevAs along with their wives
performed their SaraNAgathys to You ,who is seated in the temple of the Lord's
sacred chest . They resorted to You to for the removal of the curse of Sage
DhurvAsaa that led to their loss of their wealth and positions .The result of
their SaraNAgathy to You was their regaining of their former positions
and Iswaryam . Your benovolent glances have blessed them with
the restoration of rulership over the three universes and enjoyment of
eternal wealth .  
 
Additional Observations on the passages of the 14th slOkam of SrI Sthuthi
**********************************************************************************************
1)Amrutha sahajE!  = Oh Sri DEvi , who appeared along with the Nectar from
the Milky Ocean !
 
2) Indhran offended Sage DhurvAsa at one time . The enraged sage  cursed
Indhran and all his subjects to loose their Iswaryam . The asurAs gained
the wealth of Indhran and the DevAs . Indhran shrank in power and was
soundly defeated by the asuras . Indhran arrived with Brahma  , Sivan
and all the DevAs to the Milky Ocean and sought the refuge of Sriman
Narayana . EmperumAn commanded the dEvAs to churn the Milky ocean
with the AsurAs and offered to help in gaining nectar from that ocean
to give immortality to the DEvAs  , freedom from fear from the asurAs 
and regain their lost wealth . When the amrutha maTanam was over ,
MahA Lakshmi arose from the Ocean seated on a lotus flower in front
of Her Lord and the DEvAs. Sri DEvi was crowned  the Empress of the world
and She took Her seat on the chest of the Lord . With Her auspicous glances ,
She nullified the curse of DhurvAsa and restored the Iswaryams that
Indhra had lost before . DevAs are enjoying their wealth and bhOgams
even today thanks to the power of those auspicious glances of Sri DEvi.
 
3) Swamy Desikan describes the pitiable state of the accursed Indhran ,
the DevAs and their wives this way :" Saapa AakrAnthA: ( overpowered
with sadness from the curse of Sage DhurvAsa) sAvarOdhA: Sura 
IndhrA:  ( the celebrated dEvAs along with their wives) arrived (agaman)
in front of You seated on the chest of Your Lord . All of them saw You
and prostrated before You and sought You as refuge ( VishNu VakshasTalAm
ThvAm aalOkya SaraNam agaman) . You looked at the sad dEvAs with
Your auspicious glances and blessed them to gain back all the three
worlds that they had lost as a result of the sage's curse ( Thvath KatAkshai:
lakshitham idham thribhuvanam bhUya: laBdhvA) . Due to the anugraha
sakthi of SrI DEvi , the dEvAs enjoy imperishable Iswaryam of every kind
( Sarva AakAra sTira samudhAyAm sampadham nirvisanthy) even today .
 
4) MahA Lakshmi is "AakAra Thraya Sampannai " . It is therfore natural
that Her auspicious glances conferred on the dEvAs every kind of lasting
wealth ( sarva aakAra sTira samudhAyAm sampadham ) to enjoy .
 
5) With Her ever merciful heart , Sri DEvi removed the dhainyam ( helplessness)
of Indhran and restored his dhairyam and Iswaryam . Another poet described
Sri DEvi's anugraham this way :
 
" bheethi: prAdhurbhavathi mahathee SakthimathyA BhavathyA
   KaaruNyArdhrE  mrudhuni hrudhayE chinthithE hantha dhairyam "
   --- Passage from the 23rd SlOkam of Lakshmi Sahasram
 
Indhran had lost every thing and was filled with great fear ( mahathee bheethi).
It encircled him (prAdhurbhavathy) . He stood before You full of power
( Sakthimathy ) . Your soft heart full of compassion for the suffering children
of Yours ( BhavathyA: KaaruNyArdhrE  mrudhuni hrudhayam) blessed
Indhran to regain his lost wealth and endowed him with courage (dhairyam)
to defeat his enemies .

Dear BhakthAs : We have now crossed the half way mark of
Sri Sthuthi . We seek MahA Lakshmi's grace to bless us all
with Iswaryam to support the 79th birthday of one of the most 
revered AchAryan as His SishyAs and abhimAnis of SrI Matam .  
Please contact me for details on how you can take part .
Thank you .
