SrIvaikuNta gadhyam 6th chUrNai
SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImath varavaramunayE nama:
avathArikai (Introduction)
This chUrNai states that the jIvAthmA, after being blessed by bhagavAn, will always remain as king in the kingdom of kainkaryam and will stay in happiness for ever. Let us look at the chUrNai:
thathO bhagavathA svayamEva AthmasanjIvanEna

Athma sanjIvanEna – for AthmA’s superior sustenance

sarva – all
avayava: – parts
sukham – happy
AsItha – lives for ever
Explanatory Note
thatha: bhagavatha: svayam Eva AthmasanjIvanEna – thatha: – after that; bhagavatha: – by bhagavAn; svayam Eva – by himself; Athma sanjIvanEna – for AthmA’s superior sustenance.
avalOkanEna avalOkya – avalOkanEna – through his eyes; avalOkya – having seen. bhagavAn with love in his eyes looks at the jIvAthmA and blesses him.
sasmitham AhUya – sasmitham – with a smile; AhUya – beckoning. bhagavAn smiles at the jIvAthmA (the jIvAthmA was all along thinking that he is Isvaran and now he understands that he is a servitor; bhagavAn knows this and smiles at him for the awareness that has dawned on him)
samastha klESa apaham nirathiSaya sukhAvaham – samastha – all; klESam – troubles; apaham – removing; nirathiSaya – most wondrous; sukhAvaham – pleasant. bhagavAn‘s smile removes all the troubles of samsAram that the jIvAthmA had suffered earlier and creates a feeling of pleasantness in him.
AthmIyam SrImath pAda aravaindha yugalam – AthmIyam – self (bhagavAn‘s); SrImath – most enjoyable; pAdha – exalted feet; aravindha – lotus-like; yugalam – two. The jIvAthmA takes the two exalted, most enjoyable feet of bhagavAn and …
Sirasikrutham dhyAthvA – Sirasikrutham – keeping on the head; dhyAthvA – meditating. The jIvAthmA meditates that he is taking the two exalted feet of bhagavAn on his head.
amrutha sAgar anthar nimagna – amrutha – nectar; sAgar – ocean; anthar – deep inside; nimagna – immersed. Taking the exalted feet of bhagavAn on his head makes the jIvAthmA feel that he has immersed himself deeply in the ocean of bhagavAn’s auspicious qualities, and without any fear of coming out, enjoys the experience.
sarva avayava: sukham AsItha – sarva – all; avayava: – parts; sukham – happy; AsItha – lives for ever. The jIvAthmA lives with such happiness for ever in SrIvaikuNtam, doing all kainkaryam to bhagavAn.
periyavAchchAn piLLai summarises what bhagavadh SrI rAmAnujar had said in gadhyathrayam in a few lines now:
jIvAthmA realises that pArathanthriyam (dependence on bhagavAn) is his svarUpam (basic nature). In line with that, he carries out SaraNAgathi to bhagavAn as the path for attaining bhagavAn. Then he leaves the prAkrutha maNdalam (materialistic realm) and reaches aprAkrutha maNdalam (SrIvaikuNtam). There he gets to have dharshan (audience) with bhagavAn who is worshipped constantly by the entire assemblage of nithyasUris (those who live permanently in SrIvaikuNtam, without any connection with materialistic realm, our samsAram). Then he prays for carrying out kainkaryam to bhagavAn and is granted kainkaryam. For ever after that, he stays happily in SrIvaikuNtam, never to return to samsAram.
With this, we come to the end of SrIvaikuNta gadhyam (as a corollary, to the end of gadhya thrayam).

mama nAtham – he is my Lord and master
mama kula dhaivatham – he is the prime worshipable deity for my family (here the term family refers to the group of ASrithars i.e. srIvaishNavas).
mama kula dhanam – he is the protector for my family. Just as money is viewed as offering protection, here bhagavAn is the greatest protector in times both good and bad for his ASrithars.
mama bhOgyam – He is the source of my enjoyment
mama mAtharam – He bears me and does good for me.
mama pitharam – he is the cause for my existence as well as one who does what is correct for me.
mama sarvam – he is everything to me. He is whatever that has not been stated.
sAkshAth karavANi chakshushA? – when will I see him? It was only a few sentences back he had said that he has seen him (dhyAna yOgEna dhrushtvA – seen him through mind). Now he is longing to see him. Is there anything contradictory here? SrI rAmAnuja says that he wants to see him with his eyes (chakshushA) for ever (sadhA paSyanthi).
kadhAham bhagavath pAdhAmbuja dvayam SirasA dhArayishyAmi? – kadhA – when; aham – I; bhagavath – bhagavAn‘s; pAdha – exalted feet; ambuja – lotus-like; dhvayam – two of them; SirasA – through my head; dhArayishyAmi – will bear him. When will I bear his exalted feet on my head, asks SrI rAmAnuja.
kadhAham bhagavath pAdhAmbhujadhvaya paricharyA karaNa yOgya: (thadhEka bhOga:)thathpAdhau paricharishyAmi – kadhAham – when I; bhagavath pAdhAmbujadvaya – bhagavAn‘s two lotus-like exalted feet; paricharyA karaNa yOgya: – be eligible to carry out kainkaryam; thadhEka bhOga – only that enjoyment; thath pAdhau – those exalted feet; paricharishyAmi – will get to do kainkaryam? First he wanted to take bhagavAn’s exalted feet on his head. Now he wants to know when he will be able to carry out kainkaryam to them.
kadhAham bhagavath pAdhambujadhvaya paricharyASayA nirastha samsthEthara bhOgASa: apagatha samastha sAmsArika svabhAva: thathpAdhAmbujadhvayam pravEkshyAmi – kadhAham – when I; bhagavath pAdhAmbujadhvaya – bhagavAn‘s two lotus like exalted feet; paricharya – kainkaryam; ASayA – desire; nirastha – reject; samastha – all; ithara – other; bhOgASa: – desire in enjoyment; apagatha – gone; samastha – all; sAmsArika svabhAva: – the manner of dwellers of earth (samsAris); thathpAdhAmbujadhvayam – those two exalted lotus like feet; pravEkshyAmi – will attain? He is now wondering when he will get to attain the exalted feet. What type of feet are they? They are such that the desire in him to carry out kainkaryam to those two exalted feet of bhagavAn makes him to reject the desire in all the other enjoyments which are sought after by samsAris (dwellers in materialistic realm) as their nature.

From a distance, he sees bhagavAn, sitting on the 1000 hooded serpent bed, with SrI, bhU and neelA dhEvis, surrounded by nithyasUris such as vainathEyan and others, worshipping them.

From a distance he sees bhagavAn surrounded by ASrithars. He offers salutation to bhagavAn along with his consorts and prostrates himself repeatedly till he reaches bhagavAn.

samyak abhivandhithai: thairEva anumatha; bhUthvA bhagavantham upEthya SrImathA mUlamanthrENa ‘bhagavan! mAm aikAnthikAthyanthika paricharyA karaNaya parigruhNIshva;’ ithi yAchamAna: praNamya AthmAnam bhagavathE nivEdhayEth – samyak – very well; abhivandhithai: – saluted respectfully; thairEva – only with their; anumatha: bhUthva – permission; bhagavantham – bhagavAn; upEthya – nearing; SrImathA mUlamanthrENa – reciting thirumanthram; bhagavAn – hE (oh) bhagavAn!; mAm – me; aikAnthika – with single focus; Athyanthika – till the end; paricharyA – to carry out kainkaryam; karaNaya – as an implement for kainkaryam; praigruhNIshva: – accept; ithi – like this; yAchamAna: – praying; praNamya – prostrating; AthmAnam – self; bhagavathE – to bhagavAn; nivEdhayEth – offers. The jIvAthmA now takes permission from bhagavAn’s ASrithars and reciting thirumantham, approaches bhagavAn and beseeches him to accept him as an implement for carrying out kainkaryam (could be as a lamp or as a vessel used in thiruvArAdhanam or any such implement) till the end. So saying, he prostrates himself before bhagavAn and offers himself to bhagavAn.
This brings us to the end of 3rd chUrNai. We shall now move on to the 4th chUrNai.

SrIvaikuNta gadhyam 3rd chUrNai Part 3
SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImath varavaramunayE nama:
In the previous part we had seen how the jIvAthmA, who has been liberated from samsAram (materialistic realm) enters SrIvaikuNtam and views the grace and splendour of the place, the central maNdapam (hall) in which on the bed of AdhiSEshan (thousand hooded serpent), bhagavaAn gives audience with his consorts. We had seen the minute details of SrIvaikuNtanAthan’s (lord of SrIvaikuNtam) features. SrI rAmAnuja now starts describing the ornaments and weapons that adorn bhagavAn and ends with how the jIvAthmA gets to have dharSan of bhagavAn and offers himself to bhagavAn. First let us go through that part of the chUrNai which we will be seeing here:

nUpura – anklet
Adhibhi: – many other such ornaments which have not been stated
athyantha sukha Sparsai: – athyantha – without an end; sukha – comfortable; Sparsai – touch. With so many ornaments on his divine form, will they not cause him discomfort or irritation? No, on the other hand, they would be like touching him with flowers, so soft they would be. These ornaments are nithyasUris. Will they cause him any discomfort?
dhivyagandhai – dhivya – aprAkrutha (divine); gandhai: – smell. They are ornaments only, but even they would emit a sweet fragrance.
bhUshaNair bhUshitham – bhUshaNair – with such ornaments; bhUshitham – decorated. He is adorned with such divine ornaments.
SrImathyA vaijayanthyA vanamAlayA virAjitham – SrImathya – beautiful; vaijayanthyA vanamAlayA – an ornamental garland made with 5 stones which is an identity for SrIman nArAyaNan similar to his conch, discus, AdhiSEshan paryankam (serpent bed) etc; virAjitham – adorned.

Why should he have weapons in SrIvaikuNtam where no enemy can ever approach? It is perfectly understandable if he has these weapons in our bhUlOkam (earth) as people like rAvaNa, kumbhakarNa, SiSupAla et al keep coming. But why there? Two reasons are given – one is that they are also there as ornaments to decorate him. The other reason is that his ASrithars there (such as AzhwArs) are always worried that something terrible would happen to him even at a place such as SrIvaikuNtam. Hence to pacify them he wears these.
After describing bhagavAn‘s ornaments and armaments, SrI rAmAnuja now turns to nithyasUris (those who dwell permanently in SrIvaikuNtam, carrying out endless service to bhagavAn).
sankalpamAthrAvakluptha jagaj janma sthithi dhvamsAdhikE – sankalpa – will; mAthra – only; avakluptha – administered; jagaj – universe; janma – creation; sthithi – protection; dhvamsa – destruction. Possessing to a high degree the ability to create plant, animal, human species in the world merely at his will. Who is this nithyasUri?

nyastha samastha Athma aiSvaryam – nyastha – placed; samastha – all; Athma aiSvaryam – controlling all AthmAs. bhagavAn has given the role of creating, protecting and destroying all worlds to his principal nithyasUri, vishvaksEnar.
vainathEyAdhibhi: – Starting with vainathEya (garuda, bhagavAn‘s vehicle), included in this list are bhagavAn’s bodyguards and chieftains. There are guards for protecting entrance to SrIvaikuNtam in each of the 4 directions. There are also armies in all directions and for each of these units there are heads (chieftains).
svabhAvatha: nirastha samastha sAmsArika svabhAvai: – svabhAvatha: – as their nature; nirastha – removed; samastha – all; sAmsArika – of samsAris (those who dwell in bhUlOkam, earth); svabhAvai: – their basic traits and nature. These nithyasUris do not have any connection with the nature of jIvAthmAs who dwell in materialistic realm, samsAram.
bhagavath paricharyA karaNa yOgyai: – bhagavath – bhagavAn‘s; paricharyA – kainkaryam; karaNa – to carry out; yOgyai: – have the capability. These nithyasUris have the right and capability to carry out kainkaryam to bhagavAn always.

Athma bhOgEna anusamhitha parAdhikAla dhivya amala kOmala avalOkanEna – Athma – self; bhOgEna – enjoyment; anusamhitha – protect; parAdhikAla – for ever; dhivya – divine; amala – pure; kOmala – beautiful; avalOkanEna – graceful glance. bhagavAn enjoys these kainkaryams from nithyasUris, for his own enjoyment. He looks at with divine, faultless, divine eyes. Looks at whom?
viSvam AhlAdhayantham – viSvam – entire world, with all its living entities. AhlAdhayantham – making them happy and comfortable.
Ishadh unmeelitha mukhAmbuja adhara vinirgathEna – Isadh – a little bit; unmeelitha – just blossomed; mukha – face; ambuja – lotus; adhara – lips; vinirgathEAna – coming out from . Starting with this, until akhilajana hrudhAyAntharAni Apurayantham, SrI rAmAnuja describes the sweetness in the words and the beautiful way that bhagavAn speaks. Here he says that his lips are parted just a little, like a just blossoming lotus, and out of these opened lips come out the sweet words.
dhivya Anana aravindha SObhAjanakEna – dhivya – divine; Anana – mouth; aravindha – lotus; SObhA – splendour; janakEna – producing; His divine words have the effect of producing an effect which is like adding an ornament to his lotus-like lips.

His divine words are decorated with qualities such as being deep (like thunderous sound), generous (giving lot of meanings to whatever he says), sweet etc which are all divine.
athi manOhara dhivya bhAvagarbhENa – athi – very; manOhara – captivating the minds of listeners; dhivya – divine; bhAvagarbhENa – emotional content. His divine words are capable of captivating minds with their emotional (having lot of meanings) content.
dhivya leelA AlApa amruthEna – dhivya – divine; leelA – elegance; AlApa – sweet words; amruthEna – like nectar. His divine elegant words are sweet and full of nectar.
akhila jana hrudhya antharAnya apUrayantham – akhila – all; jana – living species; hrudhaya – hearts; antharAnya – inner space; apUrayantham – filled with. He fills up the inner spaces in the hearts of all living beings with his sweet words.

dhyAna yOgEna dhrushtvA – dhyAna yOgEna – through meditation; dhrushtvA – able to see. The jIvAthmA who has got liberated and reached SrIvaikuNtam is able to have dharshan (vision) of bhagavAn through meditation. This is called as mAnasa sAkshAthkAram (ability to see through the mind). Normally, this mAnasa sAkshAthkAram is acquired by a person who reaches bhagavAn through bhakthi yOgam (devotional path), which is a very tough path to wade through. The same effect is reached by a prapannan (one who carries out prapaththi or SaraNAgathi). This is the end result of repeatedly thinking about bhagavAn every day (we had seen this in the 2nd chUrNai, prathyaham Athma ujjIvanAya Evam anusmarEth).
bhagavatha: nithya swAmyam Athmana: nithya dhAsyam cha yathA avasthitham anusandhAya – bhagavatha: – bhagavAn; nithya – always; swAmyam – master; Athmana: – jIvAthmA; nithya dhAsyam – always servant; cha – and; yathA – whatever; avasthitham – situation or position. anushandhAya – to repeat. Once the true positions of the two entities (bhagavAn and jIvAthmA) are realised (that he is swAmy or owner and jIvAthmA is dhAsan or servant or owned), mind immediately starts desiring for kainkaryam.
We shall now see the remaining portion of this chUrNai in part 4.

anthastha pushpa rathna Adhi nirmitha dhivya leelA maNdapa Satha sahaasra upaSObhiththai: – inside the groves, there are different types of maNdapams (halls) such as pushpa maNdapa (flower hall), rathna maNdapa (ruby hall) and which are present in hundreds of thousands of numbers for the divine play of bhagavAn and his consorts
Explanatory Notes
chathurdhaSa bhuvanAthmakam – chathurdaSa – fourteen; bhuvanam – world; Athmakam – composed of. There are 7 worlds including bhU: (earth) (bhU;, bhuva:, suva:, maha:, jana:, thapa: sathyam) which are above, and 7 worlds starting with athala (athala, suthala, vithala, nithala, rasAthala, thalAthala, pAthala) below. What is it that these 14 worlds constitute?
aNdam – These 14 worlds taken together form an egg-shaped assembly of worlds called aNdam (egg). It has an end-to-end spread of 50 crore yOjana (one yOjana is 10 miles or 16 kms in our parlance).
dhaSaguNitha uththarancha AvaraNa sapthakam – dhaSa – ten; guNitha – times; uththaram – above; cha – also; AvaraNa – wrapper or cover; sapthakam – collection or aggregate of 7. Around each such egg (aNdam, that we have seen above) are 7 covers, with each succeeding cover being 10 times bigger than the previous cover. What are these 7 covers made of? They are prithvi (14 worlds in the centre), vAri (water), vahni (fire), anila (air or wind), AkASa (open or empty space), ahankAra (ego, third source of creation), mahAn (great, the 2nd source of creation) and avyaktham (prakruthi or primordial matter, primary source of creation ).
samastham – all. All the above mentioned entities put together form one aNdam. SrIvishNu purANam says that there are thousands and ten thousands of such aNdam and hundreds of crores of such entities.
kArya kAraNa jAtham – effect and causative factors (those that are produced by and those that produce). For example, avyaktham (prakruthi or primordial matter) that we have seen above is the causative factor for mahAn. mahAn produces ahankAram which in turn gives rise to the five elements sky, wind, fire, water and earth. Thus avyaktham is kAraNam while mahAn is both kAraNam (as it gives rise to ahankAram) and kAryam (as it came from avyaktham).
athIthya – crossing. The liberated jIvAthmA crosses all these entities. The crossing is done once and he does not come back to samsAram. In bhagavadh gIthA, krishNa says that the AthmA who reaches upto sathya lOkam (brahmA‘s world) returns to samsAram. But the AthmA who has spent all his karma (both pApa and puNya, sin and virtue) crosses sathya lOkam too and does not return to samsAram. What sort of a place does such an AthmA reach?
parama – superior. That which does not have anything higher than itself.
vyOma SabdhAbhidhEyE – vyOma – sky or ether; Sabdha – word; abhidhEyE – expressed as. The AthmA crosses all the earlier mentioned worlds and reaches the entity that is called as parama vyOma (superior sky). Unlike karmabhUmi (earth, the place where we take a physical form in line with our karma to get rid of prArabdha karma) this place does not limit our knowledge, but clears our thoughts. Is this place limited?
brahmA AdhInAm vAngmanasa agOcharE – Unlike simple people such as ourselves who have limited knowledge and power, this place is beyond the reach of highly knowledgeable people such as brahmA, Siva and other celestial beings. It is beyond their speech and thought. Does this place have a name?
SrImathi vaikuNtE dhivyalOkE – it is called as SrIvaikuNtam. Unlike karmabhUmi where there are impediments while carrying our kainkaryam, this is permanent and free from any hurdle.
Srimathi here refers to kainkaryam. vaikuNtE – there is no shortage for gyAna (knowledge) and Sakthi (energy or strength) here as there is no concealment of these by karmA. dhivyalOkE – not mAnushalOkam (world inhabited by human beings). Different from it. dhivya also means aprAkrutha (not prAkrutha, not composed of sathva/rajas/thamas, but only Sudhdha sathva). Having mentioned about the place, the next few words describe about the people who are in it.
sanaka vidhi Sivadhibhir achinthya svabhAva aiSvaryai: – sanaka – one of the four mAnasa puthrars of brahmA (the four sons created by brahmA through his thoughts); vidhi – brahmA; Siva – rudhran; Adhibi – many other celestial entities, starting from these; achinthya – beyond their thoughts; svabhAva – as its nature; aiSvaryai: – having plenty of wealth. Even highly knowledgeable persons such as brahmA, Siva, sanaka and others can not fathom about the glory and type of persons who are inhabiting SrivaikuNtam and the wealth of SrIvaikuNtam.
nithya sidhdhai: – unlike mukthAthmAs who are devoted to bhagavAn, only from the time that they reach SrIvaikuNtam after being liberated, the inhabitants of SrIvaikuNtam (nithyasUris) have been there always and have been permanently carrying out kainkaryam to bhagavAn.
ananthai: – The nithyasUris are not limited in number. They are countless.
bhagavath AnukUlya bhOgai: – their only purpose is to act the way bhagavAn wants them to; i.e. not acting independently. They are enjoyed by bhagavAn the way he likes and they enjoy his auspicious qualities.
dhivya purushai: – divine people. aprAkrutha (composed of only sudhdha sathva, pure good) people.
mahAthmabhi: – great people. Their greatness is such that bhagavAn will not tolerate if they are separated from him.
ApUrithE – filled up. SrivaikuNtam is filled up with such people. It is not that only a few nithyasUris are there.
thEshAmapi – even they. Their svabhAvam (nature) is such that others such as brahmA, Siva et al can not think or talk about them and their greatness or about SrIvaikuNtam. Are such nithyasUris able to give details about SrIvaikuNtam that they inhabit?
iyath parimANam – these are its dimensions
iyath aiSvaryam – this is the value of its wealth
IdhruSa svabhAvam – this is its nature or type
ithi parichchEththum ayOgyE – even these nithyasUris do not have the ability to define these characteristics of SrIvaikuNtam.
dhivya AvaraNa Satha sahasra AvruthE – dhivya – aprAkrutha (pure good); AvaraNa – cover (like a compound wall); Satha – hundreds; sahasra – thousands; AvruthE – filled with. SrIvaikuNtam has hundreds of thousands of compounds walls which, unlike what we see in leelA vinbhUthi (our materialistic realm), are made of pure good entity (sudhdha sathvam). Who has the courage to wage a war against him? Why then should there be so many compound walls in SrIvaikuNtam? The answer to this is that it is like the capital of a country. Here bhagavAn is the king of the country. Hence it should have all the qualifications of a capital. Thus there are many compound walls. Moreover the inhabitants of this country worry about the safety of their king even at places where such fear is misplaced (similar to periyAzhwAr singing pallANdu pallANdu on emperumAn) and this leads to the roles getting reversed. Thus the protector is protected (nithyasUris protect bhagavAn). To fulfill this role, compound walls have been constructed. Will the place be one of granting protection only, without anything for enjoyment?
dhivya kalpakatharu upaSObhithE – dhivya – aprAkrutha (sudhdha sathva); kalpaka tharu – a tree which fulfills the wishes of those who wish for something while standing under it; upaSObhithE – adorned with. Unlike the kalpakatharu in lowly swargam (heaven, ruled by indhra) which is prAkrutha tree, the kalpakatharu in SrivaikuNtam is dhivya or aprAkrutham. The kalpakatharu in SrIvaikuNtam is not just one tree but it is a grove or garden of such trees. This is a source of enjoyment there.
dhivya udhyAna Satha sahasra kOtibhi: AvruthE – dhivya – divine; udhyAna – garden; Satha – hundred; sahasra – thousand; kOtibhi: – crore; AvruthE – filled with. There are hundreds of thousands of crores of gardens in SrivaikuNtam for SrIvaikuNtanAthan (emperumAn or bhagavAn) and nAchimArs (his consorts) for spending their time in an enjoyable way.
athipramANE – beyond measure. It is not possible to define its length and breadth.
dhivya AyathanE – divine temple; SrivaikuNtam itself is like a divine temple whose dimensions are beyond measurement.
kasmimSchith – at some place, which is beyond our thought or imagination or grasp.
vichithra rathnamayE – vichithra – of many types; rathnamayE – full of gems.
dhivya AshthAna maNdapE – dhivya – divine; AsthAna – assembly; maNdapa – hall. Here the reference is to the court which bhagavAn holds in SrIvaikuNtam when he gives dharshan (audience) to all nithyasUris and mukthAthmAs.
dhivya rathna sthambha Satha sahasra kOtibhi: upaSObithE – the maNdapam (hall) is adorned with hundreds of thousands of pillars (sthamba)made of ruby and such gems.
dhivya nAnA rathna krutha sthala vichithrithE – the sthala (floor) is made of different types of divine, wonderful rubies.
dhivya alankAra alankruthE – the roof of the hall, the screen held in front of emperumAn (bhagavAn) and his pirAttis (consorts) etc have been decorated in an artful way.
paritha: pathithai: – paritha – surround; pathitha – fallen. Surrounding the mandapam (bhagavAn‘s court-hall) are plants and trees from which flowers have fallen on to the ground.
pathamAnai: – flowers are just dropping from the plants and trees.
pAdhapasthaiScha – flowers that are also (still) on the plants and trees. Thus we have flowers that have dropped, that are dropping and that are still blooming. This may be confusing but we should understand that there is no factor called kAla (time) in SrivaikuNtam and hence all these events take place simultaneously for the enjoyment of its inhabitants and bhagavAn and his pirAttis.
nAnA gandha varNai: – nAnA – different; gandha – smell; varNa – colour. These flowers are of different scents and colours.
dhivya pushpa SObhamAnai: – dhivya – divine; pushpa – flowers; SObhamAna – adorned with. The hall is adorned with various types of flowers having different smells (scents) and different hues of colours.
dhivya pushpa upavanai: upaSObhithE – the place is adorned with such orchards and gardens.
sankIrNa pArijAtha Adhi kalpadhruma upaSObhithai: – sankIrNa – mixed. Adorned with trees such as pArijAtham (a type of tree that gives rise to sweet smelling flower (night-flowering coral jasmine)), sandalwood, harichandanam (type of sandal tree) mixed with kalpaka trees.
asankIrNaiScha kaiSchith – also adorned with stand-alone trees (trees that are not mixed with other types).
anthastha pushpa rathna Adhi nirmitha dhivya leelA maNdapa Satha sahaasra upaSObhiththai: – inside the groves, there are different types of maNdapams (halls) such as pushpa maNdapa (flower hall), rathna maNdapa (ruby hall) and which are present in hundreds of thousands of numbers for the divine play of bhagavAn and his consorts.
We shall continue from where we left in the next part of this chUrNai.

SrIvaikuNta gadhyam – 2nd chUrNai
SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImath varavaramunayE nama:
avathArikai (Introduction)
Is it that we have to surrender once to bhagavAn and then forget about it? For getting the benefit (whether it is attaining mOksham (SrIvaikuNtam) or carrying out kainkaryam to pirAtti and bhagavAn), it is enough to do surrender once. However, since we continue to live in this samsAram (materialistic realm), we need to remind ourselves that we have surrendered to bhagavAn as the fear of samsAram will continue until we leave it.
This is a one-line chUrNai:
thathaScha prathyaham AthmOjjIvanAya Evam anusmarEth II
Word-by-Word meaning
thathaScha – after that
prathi – every
ahas – day
Athma ujjIvanam – leaving this world and attaining SrivaikuNtam.
Evam – thus
anusmarEth – keep remembering through the day
Explanatory Note
thathaScha – dhvaya upanishadh says thadhdhvayam sakruthuchchArO bhavathi (this is dvayam; it is said once). SrI rAma in his charama SlOkam (ultimate SlOkam) says sakrudhEva prapannAya (surrendering only once). It is enough if it is recited once as upAyam (the path for reaching bhagavAn). But it demands to be repeated many times over. What is the limit for this?
prathyaham – prathi – every; ahas – day. It has to be recited every day. Is repeating this every day being done because of any inadequacy in fulfilment of our effort?
Athma ujjIvanAya – SarIra jIvanam – living in this world for the sake of physical body. Athma jIvanam – living in this world, doing only good things and not indulging in anything not mentioned in SAsthras. Athma ujjIvanam – leaving this world and attaining SrivaikuNtam. For this, AthmA has to constantly keep thinking of bhagavAn. In gAruda purANam, it says that if in a muhUrtham (equivalent of 48 minutes) a person does not think of vAsudhEvan (SrIman nArAyaNan) even for a moment, it will entail terrible harm, great danger, utter confusion. In effect, it means total emaciation of the soul. Can this repetition be done with less effort?
Evam – thus. It should be recited with the same dedication and belief with which it was recited the first time when the person carried out SaraNAgathi (surrendering).
anusmarEth (prathyaham) – We have seen that we should recite this every day. Is it enough if we recite once every day? anusmarEth – keep remembering through the day. Keep remembering without any break as we had seen in SaraNAgathi gadhyam (dhvayam artha anusandhAnena saha sadhA Evam vakthA – keep repeating dhvayam knowing its meaning, all the time). It is to be remembered all 365 days, until we leave this world.
Hence, in order to stick to the path of righteousness and to remind ourselves that we are living in this dreadful samsAram, we have to keep reciting and thinking about SaraNAgathi all the time, every day.
We shall now move on to the 3rd chUrNai.

SrIvaikuNta gadhyam – 1st chUrNai Part 3
SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImath varavaramunayE nama:
nammAzhwAr surrendering to SrIranganAtha
Continuing from the previous part, we shall now see how bhagavadh SrI rAmAnuja describes what upAyam (the “means” for reaching bhagavAn) is (starting from thasyaiva and ending with charaNAravindha yugalam) and how In the third and last part how he surrenders (starting from ananyAthma sanjIvanEna and ending with anuvrajEth).
thasyaiva bhagavathO nArAyaNasya – thasyaiva – as said; bhagavathO – bhagavAn; nArAyaNasya – that nArAyaNan. Earlier (in part 2 of this chUrNai), we had seen the terms bhagavantham nArAyanAm. There, we had seen the qualities of bhagavAn which were needed for him to be prApyam (be the fruit of surrendering) as well as the holder of these qualities. Here, the qualities for him to be prApakam (as means for attaining bhagavAn) and the holder of these qualities are described.
akhilasathva dhayaika sAgarasya – ocean of mercy for all. akhilasathva – considering all living beings, without any distinction. dhayA – not able to bear the sufferings of others, without expecting anything for self. EkasAgarasya – the waters of dhayA form an ocean and take refuge only under bhagavAn, and under no one else. Is it that he (bhagavAn) wishes to confirm that others suffer and then feels sad for them? In other words, does he look at the extent of suffering of others? No….
anAlOchitha guNa aguNa akhaNda jana anukUla amaryAdha Seelavatha: – he has a quality, sauSeelya, by which he does not consider the virtues or faults of others. This quality is unlimited and is shown to all people without any distinction.
anAlOchitha – not examining whether granting refuge to a person (who wishes to surrender) is advantageous or not.
guNa aguNa – Describes qualities which are desired and not desired among ASrithars – the qualities can be ignorant or knowledgeable; believer or atheist; righteous or unjust; humble or immodest.
akhaNda jana – he does not make a distinction among celestial persons, human beings, animals, plants etc when they approach him as an ASrithar. Here the word jana does not denote people as we commonly understand but any one who has a jani (birth) viz. anyone who is living.
anukUla – he guides the ASrithar to go by the correct path and not take difficult paths.
amaryAdha – here maryAdhA means limit. He does not show any limit when showing his magnanimity to his ASrithars.
Seelavatha: – the quality by which a greater person mingles with lowly persons without feeling proud at his own greatness or feeling contemptuous at the lowliness of the others is called as Seela. Seelavatha: denotes that he has this quality for ever. It may be perfectly acceptable for bhagavAn not to consider the faults or virtues of others. But wouldn’t the others be afraid to approach him? No…
dhEva thiryak manushya Adhi akhila jana hrudhaya Anandhanasya – Without any distinction between the wise and the unwise entities, everyone’s heart will melt out of happiness. What is the basis for such an act? There is a special reason and it is ….
svAbhAvika anavadhika athiSaya guNavaththayA – possessing wondrous quality as his nature, without any boundary. SrI rAmAnuja has described already so many qualities of bhagavAn, right from the beginning. What is this new quality that he is now mentioning? The qualities mentioned all along have been qualities of his AthmA (bhagavAn’s soul). The quality that is being mentioned here is that of his thirumEni (physical form). His AthmA guNas may or may not attract others, but the beauty of his physical form is bound to attract everyone. His radiance and delicate gentleness are the qualities that attract others to him. His beauty attracted even a demonic woman such as sUrpaNakA. Same goes true for vanadhEvathAs (angels in the forest) who were attracted to rAma when he entered forest. His beauty appealed not only to the eyes but also to the hearts of both his devotees and his enemies.
But then, does he not give any special status to his ASrithars (followers)? Or does he remain same to everyone?
ASritha vAthsalyaika jaladhE: – He has the quality of vAthsalyam (treating faults as virtues) towards his ASrithars like an ocean. Who is called as an ASrithar? Is it a person like vashisht or nammAzhwAr? In SrI rAmAyaNam, the rishis (sages) tell SrI rAmA when he enters forest that he is their king whether he is in ayOdhyA or in forest, and they are his citizens and hence he has to protect them. Important to note here is that they are not merely living in the country where he is king, but they accept that he is the ruler and they are citizens. In a similar way, it is not enough if we live in a dhivya dhEsam but we need to accept the he is the bhagavAn and he has to protect us. Then we can be called his ASrithars. Also, anyone who has performed SaraNAgathi once to him and pirAtti (his consort) is an ASrithar. Included in this category is any person who offers something to him with bhakthi (devotion) – a leaf, flower, fruit or water. The leaf need not be thuLasi (basil plant) but even a dried leaf picked up from the street corner, offered with devotion, is enough, says bhagavAn in bhagavadh gIthai. vAthsalya is the quality exhibited by a cow that removes all the dirt from the body of its calf at the time when the calf is born. It does not clean the dirt if the calf comes dirty after 10 or 15 days. In the same way, bhagavAn removes all our past sins on the day when we carry out SaraNAgathi. But if we commit pApa (sinful act) even after performing SaraNAgathi and go to him for forgiving us, he is not going to oblige. Is there any proof that he forgives the sins when we go to him for taking refuge? Again, in SrI rAmAyaNam, when vibhIshNa comes to thiruppullANi shore, SrI rAma says that if a person comes to him with a friendly mind, he will accept him and not let him down, even if the person comes with faults. Eka jaladhE: – bhagavAn is the only shelter to such ASrithars.
Is it that he only gives to his ASrithars? Isn’t there anything in it for him?
bhakthajana samSlEshaika bhOgasya – bhakthajana – those who are his devotees, who are friendly towards him; samSlEsham – to be together; Eka – only; bhOgasya – fit for enjoyment.
bhakthajana – bhakthi is carrying out service with affection (friendliness). bhakthajana is anyone who does this.
samSlEshaika bhOgasya – He enjoys being together with such bakthajana. He can not withstand separation from them even for a moment. Just as nammAzhwAr considered thirukkOLUr perumAn as his dhAraka, pOshaka, bhOgyam (that which is essential for life, for growth and for enjoyment respectively), for bhagavAN, his ASrithar becomes his dhAraka, pOshaka and bhOgyam.
nithya gyAna kriya aiSvaryAdhi bhOga sAmagrI samrudhdhasya – sAmagri – implements. In order to enjoy anything, one should have gyNa, kriyA and aiSvaryam as implements.
gyAna is knowledge about the bhOga vasthu (that which is to be enjoyed), its svarUpa, rUpa, guNa, chEshtA (activity), prayOjana kAla (when it should be enjoyed).
kriyA is the actual act of enjoying the bhOga vasthu.
aiSvarya – wealth (owning the bhOga vasthu).
sAmagrI is the combination of gyAna, kriya, aiSvarya.
samrudhdhasya – this enjoyment is not something finite or small but huge or plenty.
Even if bhOga vasthu and bhOga sAmagrI are available, wouldn’t one need a bhOgasthAnam (place to enjoy) in order to enjoy the bhOga vasthu?
mahAvibhUthE: – maha – huge; vibhUthE – wealth. Here this refers to his SrIvaikuNtam which is three times as large as the entire cosmos (thousands and thousands of aNda katAkam (galaxy)). In order to enjoy the bhOga vasthus, he has a location which is endless and full of happiness. In such a place where he is going to enjoy the materials (vasthu), does he enjoy singly, like a brahmachAri (bachelor)?
SrImatha: SrI – mahAlakshmi (his consort); matha: – with. In the river of enjoyment, in order to see the shore and assist him, he has lakshmi (periya pirAtti, his consort) with him. If periya pirAtti is not there, does it mean that he can not enjoy the material? In what way does she assist him?He is known to be avApthasamasthakAman (one who does not have any unfulfilled desire). Will this term become invalid if she is not there? To understand this, we should understand what is bhagavAn’s bhOgam (enjoyment). It is the ujjIvanam (total sustenance) of all jIvAthmAs (all living beings in materialistic realm, leelA vibhUthi). pirAtti‘s role (or assistance) in this is to be a purushakAra bhUthai (one who recommends the jIvAthmA to bhagavAn for giving mOksham). Do we hold on to such a person himself? No…his
charaNAravindha yugalam – two lotus-like feet. His exalted feet are our natural goal to attain, source of wondrous enjoyment and they take in everyone who approaches them. Why should we hold on to them?
ananyAthma sanjIvanEna – ananya – without substitute; Athma – soul; sanjIvanEna – total sustenance. There is no other path available for the sustenance of jIvAthmA.
thath gatha sarva bhAvEna – thath – that; gatha – reach; sarva – all; bhAvEna – manner. Holding on the two exalted feet in all manner (that they will protect, that they will provide enjoyment, that they will purify us etc). What is to be done with these thoughts?
SaraNam anuvrajEth – SaraNam – to surrender; anuvrajEth – to hold on firmly. jIvAthmA has to hold on to his exalted feet as the path to reach him, with firmness in mind. It should also be done with the thought that his feet are to be held firmly, all the time.
This brings us to the end of 1st chUrNai. Let us move on to the 2nd.
