V – VIBHUTI SANDHI
In
this Canto, Sri Jagannatha Dasaru describes ten Vibhuti (ವಿಭೂತಿ) rupas or forms Sri Hari,
including Neeta. Neeta means ‘niyata’ and it refers to the manifestation of
Lord Hari in Saligrama and such other sacred objects. Neeta refers to 'common‘
forms that are worshipped in individual houses. ‘Special’ (VisheSha) forms are
those which are worshipped by Yatis, saints, Munis, Rishis and so on. ‘Sajati’
(of same class or category) refers to that form which is worshipped by Indra
and other deities. ‘Naija’ means ‘true’ and this form refers to the popular
forms such as Vasudeva. ‘Ahitachala’ refers to the existence of Sri Hari in
statues and idols. ‘Sahajachala’ refers to the manifestation of the Lord in the
form of mountains, hills and so on. ‘Vijati’ is that form with which Lord Hari

SUMMARY:
Look at the great forms of Sri Hari, the husband of Mahalakshmi, by thinking of
him in anything and everything you come across. Look at those objects with
enthusiasm, high spirit and interest. Learn about his ten forms such as Neeta,
SADhAraNa, VishESha, SajAti, Naija, AhitAchala, SahajAchala, VijAti, KhanDa and
AKhanada from Budha (scholars, knowledgeable) and think about those forms with
that preconceived knowledge.
There
is a difference between “Swayamvyakta” or self-manifestation and other forms of
Sri Hari. In all other forms, except the self-manifested form, invocation of
the Lord through Avanaha (invitation), TattwanyAsa and MatrukAnyasa (chanting
of Mantras and through various acts in a prescribed manner) is essential. Any
form that does not warrant Avahana, Tattvanyasa and MatrukAnyasa process is called
as “self-manifested”. There are several temples and shrines across the globe
where the presiding deity is said to be “Swayamvyakta” or self-manifested. The
deity will be present in those statues eternally.
