Lord Sri Hari in four physical forms/ತನುಚತುಷ್ಟಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಶ್ರೀ ಹರಿ

SUMMARY: In the throne named lotus-heart of his, Sri Narayana blazes in four physical forms such as Aniruddha; he is the servant as well as the served; he eternally stays within the deities and serves them in accordance with their eligibility.

The four physical forms mean the Swarupadeha (original physical form or shape), Lingadeha or the gender form, the Aniruddha form and the giant form (Sthoola Deha); Sri Jagannatha Dasaru explains 0the manner in which Lord Hari stays in these forms later.

This stanza further establishes the fact that Lord Hari is unquestioned, supreme God with infinite liberty, which is beyond comprehension, description or imagination. Only Lord Vayu has the most comprehensive knowledge of this concept.

SUMMARY: In his conscious and dreaming phases, Lord Sri Hari, who is resting on the special Serpent (Shesha), splits the corporal bodies of beings into several parts, provides them with comforts and luxury; during that empty (SuShupti) phase, like the rivers join together, Sri Hari integrates all those parts into one single form or shape.

The beings, animals and humans, can enjoy the various phases of life, conceive the emotions and react only after Lord Hari splits their bodies into several parts or pieces and empower each part to sense and react, enjoy and experience different situations or phases.

The word SuShupti is briefly defined as “PradEsha vishEShAvasThitamanaha samyOgaha SuShuptihi” In other words, it is a phase of emptiness when the mind is completely blank and the body is inert. It can be compared to Coma stage and there is no connectivity between the mind and body. The mind is unable to even dream.

Lord Hari unites the various parts of the body when it reaches or attains the Sushupti stage or phase. At this instance, the body and mind loses the capacity to experience the comfort or absence of it; it loses the capacity to understand or differentiate between existence and non-existence. These concepts have been explained in MAnDUkOpaniShat.
