SrI: Dear BhakthAs: Today , adiyEn will cover the Fourty Second slOkam of Sri SaraNAgathi DhIpikai , where Swamy Desikan continues to plead ardently with the Lord about the granting of the boon of Bhagavad anubhavam and argues that the Lord will not lose anything by granting him the desired wish: PadhmA MahI prabruthibhi: paribhuktha-bhUmna: kaa haaniathra mayi BhOgthri tE BhavithrI dhushyEth kimangri tadINi tava-sEvyA dhurvAra tarsha chapalEna sunA avaleeDA SrI SaraNAgathi DhIpikai: SlOkam 42 Meaning: ******** Oh ViLakkoLi PerumALE! Your dear consorts, SrI Devi and BhU Devi, enjoy Your Svaroopam, ThirumEni (Divine body ) and auspicious attributes to their heart's content . adiyEn, who is lowly , also wishes to enjoy Your dhivya MangaLa Vigraham , dhivya aathma svaroopam and anantha kalyANa guNams .What is the harm to You if you grant my request ? Your glory will not diminish an iota if you respond positively to my request . Let me quote an example . The river GangA incarnated from Your sacred feet and attained thereby a sacred status.Lord Sivan keeps that GangA on His matted hair with reverence. Brahma dEvan performs His anushtAnam with GangA river . A thirsty dog reaches the bank of the sacred river GangA and licks the waters to quench its thirst. By that act of the dog , the sublimity of the Ganga river is not diminished one bit. Similarly by granting me my wish to enjoy You , there will be no dimunition of Your glories. Additional Comments (V.S): ************************** The key words in this slOkam are "BhUmna: " and "Haani". Oh DhIpa PrakAsA! The divine consorts of Yours (SrI dEvi and BhU dEvi saluted by Her own Sooktham starting with "BhUmir BhUmnaa--" ) are at your side enjoying Your Svaroopam , Soundharyam and KalyANa GuNams . They are indeed very fortunate to be so blessed . You have the glories of being enjoyed by Them ( Paribhuktha BhUmna:). If adiyEn also longs to enjoy You as well (tE mayi bhOkthri) , what is the harm here ( athra kaa hAni: ?). What kind of loss would come to You ( athra kaa hAni: BhavithrI ?). There is Ganga , which incarnated from Your sacred Thiruvadi ( Tava angri-taDinI). There is a dog , which has developed an unquenchable thirst (dhurvAra tarsha aakrAntha SunA )and desires to lick the waters of GangA to quench its thirst ( dhurvAra tarsha chapalEna sunA avaleeDA ) . Will the waters of Ganga become polluted by this act of the thristy dog (kim dhushyEth?).adiyEn has also unquenchable thirst to enjoy Your Svaroopam , Soundharyam and KalyANa GuNams. What harm or danger (Haani)will come to You by granting my deeply-desired wish ? Swamy Desikan questions the Lord and asks him to explain to him as to what loss, damage or detriment will come to the Lord , if He relents and blesses him with ParipoorNa BrahmAnanda anubhavam . The Lord's glories (BhUmA:) ***************************** BhumA means infinite, infinitely great , infinite bliss. In the previious slOkams , Swamy Desikan was praying for the boon of ParipoorNa BrhmAnandham (BhumA). In this slOkam he refers to " PadhmA MahI prabrudhibhi: paribhuktha BhUmna: tE ". Oh DhIpa prakAsA! Your two consorts (SrI and BhUmi DEvi ), the Nithya Sooris and the Muktha jeevans are enjoying your BhUmA . Will there be any dimunition of that BhUmA , if this unfit person (Swamy Desikan ) also enjoys it ? This is a rhetorical question and the answer that Swamy Deikan would like to hear from the Lord is " Certainly Not". Brahman as BhUman ****************** The entire teaching of the Upanishads "stands summed up in a supreme synthesis in the concept of NaarAyaNA " . NaarAyaNA is the infinite bliss for us (Truth , knowedge and Infinity is Brahman/Sathyam Jn~Anam anantham BrahmA--TaitthirIya Upanishad:II.1).NarAyaNa (Sri DhIpa PrakAsan is the BhUman , whose glories are enjoyed by His Devis et al (tE paribhuktha BhUmna:). BhumNaadhikarNam ( Brahma Soothrams: 1.3.7 and 1.3.8) deal with the intrepretation of BhUman .Both AchArya RaamAnujA and MadhvAchArya correctly intrepret BhUman as Brahman. The vishaya Vaakya(subject matter of Brahma Soothram 1.3.7 has been described as " Where one sees nothing else , hears nothing else, knows nothing else , that is immensely great (BhUmA); where one sees something else, hears something else, knows something else , that is small or trivial (alpa)." In another passage of ChaandhOgya Upanishad , BhumA is described as "He who is great indeed is Bliss ( yO vai BhUmA tath Sukham).AchArya RaamAnujA defines Brahman as " niratisaya-vipula-rUpasya Brahmana: lakshaNam idham" . The infinite bliss principle is the mark of BhUman/Brahman and contains in itself SvaroopA and VibhUthi (glorious manifestation of Brahman). That is why one who experiences the PoorNa Aanandham of BhUman/Brahman , one does not see or hear or experience any suffering , but only Sukham in the form of ParipoorNa BrahmAnandham . This BhUma GuNA or the infinite bliss aspect of Lord DhIpa PrakAsan is what Swamy Desikan wishes to experience and prays for the conferral of such a boon.
