<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n In this final part of 3rd chUrNai, we shall see how the jIvAthmA<\/a> approaches bhagavAn<\/a> and submits himself unto him.<\/p>\n kadhAham bhagavantham nArAyaNam, mama kula nAtham, mama kula dhaivatham, <\/em> kadhA<\/strong> – when Explanatory Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n kadhA<\/strong> – when. He starts getting tensed for carrying out kainkaryam.<\/p>\n aham<\/strong> – I, who has no other path and who has attained bhagavAn and who is now feeling tensed about the fruit of attaining bhagavAn (i.e. who is delirious for carrying out kainkaryam)<\/p>\n bhagavantham nArAyaNam<\/strong> – he is so great and adiyEn is so small that adiyEn is unable to stay quiet after realising his auspicious and supreme qualities<\/p>\n mama nAtham<\/strong> – he is my Lord and master<\/p>\n mama kula dhaivatham<\/strong> – he is the prime worshipable deity for my family (here the term family refers to the group of ASrithars i.e. srIvaishNavas<\/em>).<\/p>\n mama kula dhanam<\/strong> – 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.<\/p>\n mama bhOgyam<\/strong> – He is the source of my enjoyment<\/p>\n mama mAtharam<\/strong> – He bears me and does good for me.<\/p>\n mama pitharam<\/strong> – he is the cause for my existence as well as one who does what is correct for me.<\/p>\n mama sarvam<\/strong> – he is everything to me. \u00a0He is whatever that has not been stated.<\/p>\n sAkshAth karavANi chakshushA?<\/strong> – when will I see him? It was only a few sentences back he had said that he has seen him (dhyAna yOgEna dhrushtvA <\/em>– seen him through mind). Now he is longing to see him. Is there anything contradictory here? SrI rAmAnuja<\/a> says that he wants to see him with his eyes (chakshushA<\/em>) for ever (sadhA paSyanthi<\/em>).<\/p>\n kadhAham bhagavath pAdhAmbuja dvayam SirasA dhArayishyAmi?<\/strong> – kadhA<\/em> – when; aham<\/em> – I; bhagavath<\/em> – bhagavAn<\/a>‘s; pAdha<\/em> – exalted feet; ambuja<\/em> – lotus-like; dhvayam<\/em> – two of them; SirasA<\/em> – through my head; dhArayishyAmi<\/em> – will bear him. When will I bear his exalted feet on my head, asks SrI rAmAnuja<\/a>.<\/p>\n kadhAham bhagavath pAdhAmbhujadhvaya\u00a0paricharyA karaNa yOgya: (thadhEka bhOga:)thathpAdhau\u00a0<\/strong>paricharishyAmi<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>– kadhAham<\/em> – when I; bhagavath pAdhAmbujadvaya<\/em> – bhagavAn<\/a>‘s two lotus-like exalted feet; paricharyA karaNa yOgya:<\/em> – be eligible to carry out kainkaryam; thadhEka bhOga<\/em> – only that enjoyment; thath pAdhau<\/em> – those exalted feet; paricharishyAmi<\/em> – 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.<\/p>\n kadhAham \u00a0bhagavath pAdhambujadhvaya\u00a0paricharyASayA nirastha samsthEthara bhOgASa: apagatha samastha\u00a0sAmsArika svabhAva: thathpAdhAmbujadhvayam pravEkshyAmi<\/strong> – kadhAham<\/em> – when I; bhagavath pAdhAmbujadhvaya<\/em> – bhagavAn<\/a>‘s two lotus like exalted feet; paricharya<\/em> – kainkaryam; ASayA<\/em> – desire; nirastha<\/em> – reject; samastha<\/em> – all; ithara<\/em> – other; bhOgASa:<\/em> – desire in enjoyment; apagatha<\/em> – gone; samastha<\/em> – all; sAmsArika svabhAva:<\/em> – the manner of dwellers of earth (samsAris<\/em>); thathpAdhAmbujadhvayam<\/em> – those two exalted lotus like feet; pravEkshyAmi<\/em> – will attain? \u00a0He 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<\/em> (dwellers in materialistic realm) as their nature.<\/p>\n kadhAmAm bhagavAn svakIyayA athiSIthalayA dhruSA\u00a0avalOkya snigdha gambhIra<\/strong> ithi bhagavath paricharyAyAm ASAm varthdhayithvA<\/strong> – ithi<\/em> – like this; bhagavath<\/em> – bhagavAn<\/a>‘s; paricharyAyAm<\/em> – to carry out kainkaryam; ASAm<\/em> – desire; varthdhayithvA<\/em> – to make it grow. He is praying to bhagavAn to make the desire to carry out kainkaryam to him to grow more and more.<\/p>\n thayaiva ASayA thath prasAdha upabrumhithayA bhagavantham upEthya<\/strong> – thayaiva<\/em> – with that; ASayA<\/em> – desire; thath prasAdha<\/em> – with bhagavAn<\/a>‘s grace; upaburmhithayA<\/em> – bring pushed; bhagavantham<\/em> – bhagavAn; upEthya<\/em> – near. With the desire (to carry out kainkaryam to bhagavAn) pushing him, with bhagavAn’s loving grace, he nears bhagavAn.<\/p>\n dhUrAdhEva bhagavantham SEshabhOgE SrIyA saha AsInam\u00a0vainathEyAdhibhi sEvyamAnam <\/strong>–\u00a0<\/strong>dhUrAdhEva<\/em> \u00a0– from a distance; bhagavantham<\/em> – bhagavAn<\/a>; SEshabhOgE<\/em> – sitting on AdhiSEshan<\/em> (serpent bed), SrIyA<\/em> – mahAlakshmi<\/em> (it is inferred that bhUdhEvi<\/em> and neelAdhEvi<\/em> are also there); saha<\/em> – with; AsInam<\/em> – sitting by the side; vainathEya<\/em> – garudan; Adhibhi<\/em> – and others; sEvyamAnam<\/em> – worshipped by. 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.<\/p>\n samastha\u00a0parivArAya SrImathE nArAyaNAya nama:\u00a0<\/strong> ithi praNamya\u00a0uththAya uththAya, puna: puna: praNamya\u00a0<\/strong>– samastha<\/em> – all; parivArAyA<\/em> – surrounded by ASrithars; SrimAthE<\/em> – with SrI mahAlakshmi; nArAyaNAya nama:<\/em> – salutations to nArAyaNan; ithi<\/em> – saying this; praNamya<\/em> – prostrating; uththAya uththAya puna: puna: praNamya<\/em>– standing at the place where the head touched earlier and prostrating again, standing up again at the place where the head touched earlier and prostrating again (doing this repeatedly till he reached bhagavAn<\/a>). 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.<\/p>\n athyantha sAdhvasa\u00a0vinayAvanathO bhUthvA<\/strong>\u00a0bhagavathpArishadha gaNanAyakai: dhvArapAlai: krupayA snEha garbhayA dhruSA\u00a0<\/strong>avalOkitha:<\/strong> – \u00a0athyantha<\/em> – without an end; sAdhvasa<\/em> – timidly; vinaya<\/em> – with humility; avanathO<\/em> – head bowed; bhUthva<\/em> – being; bhagavath<\/em> – bhagavAn<\/a>‘s; pArishadha<\/em> – attendants; gaNanAyakai<\/em>: – his chieftains; dhvArapAlai:<\/em> – his guards at the entrance (loosely, door-keepers); krupayA snEha garbhayA<\/em> – with\u00a0grace and friendliness; dhruSA<\/em> – with their eyes; avalOkitha<\/em> – viewed by. As he approaches bhagavAn by repeatedly prostrating in front of bhagavAn and takes a few steps with humility, head bowed, the nithyasUris near bhagavAn (his attendants, his chieftains and the guards at the entrance) look at him with grace and friendliness.<\/p>\n![\"paramapadhanathan\"](\"https:\/\/divyaprabandham.koyil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/paramapadhanathan.jpg\")
