Your worship that occurs in four places, that is Paramapada, Brahma-loka, the sand-dunes of the Sarayau river and in Srirangam in between the two Kaveris, with very good flowers is reminiscent of the four-way worship offered to the Lord (according to Pancharatra Agama)-in Kumbha, Agni, Sthandila, and Bimba.

In this verse , He describes the four kinds of archanA for RanganAthan known as SthAna archanAs(i-e), Kumbham (pot) Agni (Fire) , Sthandilam (cooked ground rice for offering in the Fire) and Bimbham (Image). Swamy states that the four pushpa archanais for RanganAthA at Sri vaikuntam, Sathya Lokam (BrahmA's world) AyOdhyA and Srirangam assumed the charactrestrics of the four sthAna archanAs. (2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: The four Araadhanams at Parama Padham , AyOdhyai, Sathya lOkam and Srirangam remind one of the four kinds of AarAdhanam during the PavithrOthsavam with flowers for the Paadhukai. (3) Swamy Desikan points out that the AarAdhanam at the four places for Paadhukais with fragrant flowers is like the four kinds of ArAdhanam during the PavithrOthsavam for the Lord ( Prasoonai: tE archanam chathu: sthAnamiva aaseeth)....(V.S) -------------------------------------------------------------- - SrImate rAmAnujAya namaH - To Post a message, send it to: bhakti-list@eGroups.com Search archives at http://ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/index.html#SEARCH Manage your subscription at http://www.egroups.com/mygroups
