SrI: Dear BhakthAs of MahA Lakshmi: In this slOkam , Sri VenkatAdhri Kavi shares with us his experinces about the power of MahA Lakshmi's names , which banish every kind of Fatigue associated with the SamsAric life : AmBhA LakshmIr-amruthasahabhUr-aBdhi-rAjanya- kanyA PadhmA Viswambhara-sahacharee Padhma-sadhmA ramEthi yO namaivam piBathy bhavathee nAma-nAmAmruthougam TasyaivAhur-janani sulabhAm samsruthy SrAnthi Saanthim (Meaning) : Oh Jananee ( Oh Mother of all the beings) ! Lakshmee ( Oh Possessor of all MangaLams ) ! amrutha-sahabhU: ( Oh one born from the Milky ocean along with the Nectar ) ! abdhi-rajanya- kanyE ( Oh daughter of the Samudhra Raajan) , PadhmA-sadhmA ( Oh the One having the lotus flower as Your abode) , ViSwambhara sahachari ( Oh the divine consort of the Lord bearing the Universe) , PadhmA ( Oh the One with the Lotus soft eyes and feet ), Ramaa( Ramaa Devi) ! It is said that those who drink from the blissful nectarine flood of Your divine NAmAs ( bhavathee nAma , nAmAmrutha Ogam piBathy ) , for them alone the fatigue , tiresomeness , asubhams and amangaLams arising from the samsAric way of life are banished . ( Key Words): " yO nAma bhavathee nAma amrutha Ogam piBathy , tasya yEva samsruthy SrAnthy Saanthy sulabhaam Aahu: ". In one of the SrI Sthuthi slOkams , Swamy Desikan instructed us : " Those who repeatedly recite Your nAmAs -- LakshmI , PadhmA , Jaladhi tanayA , IndhirA and VishNu Pathnee-- do not get swirled around the wheel of samsAram ". Sri VenkatAdhri Kavi follows this line of thought in this 11th slOkam . The many sufferings and the consequent fatigue assoicated with samsAric life are removed by the aavrutthi ( repetition) of Your divine NAmAs. Only those , who engage in Your nAma sankeerthanam with longing and blissful experience (rasAnubhavam) gain this relief . For these frotunate ones , You banish the life in this sorrowful world and grant them Moksham ( freedom from the tiring cycles of births and deaths ). Consistent with Your name as "Ramaa" , You delight the hearts of such devotees . She is the Mother of all . She is the Creatrix. She generates new energy in us when we recite Her nAmAs and that leads to the removal of the sufferings connected to hunger , thirst, poverty , bodily ills , viraha taapam , restlessness, mental worries and every other suffering. As Lakshmi , She removes all alakshmi ( asubhams) , when we perform sankeertanam of Her sacred nAmAs. SrI sookta mantram instructs us thus on the power of Her nAmAs .Her relationship with us is beyond one janmam . Her relationship with us as our Mother is indestructible. She has a rich set of relations Herself . Her Lord is the One , who bears the Universe effortlessly . Her Father is the King of the Oceans. She Herself is " Ramayathy ithi Ramaa " ( One who enchants and delights us and thereby chases away our multiple fatigues , avalams and AayAsams .
