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
.
