O the onewho is aananda,
In essential content,
O the one who adds beauty
To the ocean of happiness
Of the father Anandadundubhi,
O the Royal Swan (raajahamsa)
Equal towards both
Commendation and condemnation,
O the Lord of both Sri and Bhu,
O Hari, please take away
All my afflictions.
(“Aanandaroopajanakaaanakapoorvadundubhi
Aanandasagarasudhaakarasoukumarya
Maanapamaanasamamaanasaraajahamsa
SreeBhoopathehara hare sakalaamayammae”):
Aanandaroopa= the one who exists in Bliss form
Janakaaanakapoorvadundubhi= Sree Krishna’s fatherVasudeva.
Aanandasagara= ocean of happiness.
Sudhakarasoukumarya= the one who has the beauty of moon’s brightness
Maanapamaanasamamaanasa raja hamsa= those who treat dignity and insult equally, are the possessors of mind of the royal swan.
SreeBhoopathe = the Lord of both Sreeand Bhu
Hara hare sakalamayammae= O Hari, please take away all my afflictions and difficulties
Explanation:
In this verse, analogical treatment in devotional splendor can be seen therebyelevating the devotee to aphilosophical point. Lord exists in the form of bliss; this entails the origin point ofBlessedness, Harmony, Happiness etc. Besides, a new concept is brought in by the Guru through the line ‘Maanapamaanasamamaanasa raja hamsa’, which has a great application in harmonizing the life. According to this, the author reaffirms that the Lord exists in those personalities, who have overcome the dualities of dignity and insult, happiness & sorrow, good & bad, matter & spirit. For a common man, this sounds very strange, but a true devotee surrendered to Lord has a space to comply. |
