SUMMARY: Ever gregarious Sri Hari is present both inside and outside the seven elements like the fire in hot metal and remains in the hubs of rice and other things. Without getting influenced or affected by them, he renders to each of those hubs or clusters their inherent satisfaction and luxury and delivers through them the different feelings and characteristics of dream, conservative nature and alertness with his Taijas, Prajna and Vishwarupas.

These explanations are quite intricate, subtle and epigrammatic. At the same time, they are quite simple, easy and intelligible. What a great service Sri Jagannatha Dasaru has rendered to the present generation? All these things are hard to follow in our great epics, scriptures and holy texts. Harikathamrutasara spoon-feeds these hard and tough concepts in simple dictum.

SUMMARY: In the original form, Lord Narasihma is called by the biological name or the name of the human form. In the Lingadeha (gender body) that possesses sixteen skills, he appears in the name of Purusha. Sri Hari resides in the form of Aniruddha in the body of the epitome of peace Aniruddha.  In the subtle bodies, Sri Hari motivates humans in the form of Pradyumna.

SUMMARY: On the exterior as bark called Twak, in that the skin, in that flesh, in that blood, in that fat (Medhas), in that marro (Majja), in that the bones and in them the cluster of forty-nine Maruts; in them, Sri Hari addressed variously as Nidhana, Hinkara, Sama and others corresponding to those names, is present in the elements in forty-nine forms.

There are seven elements in the body known as Twak, skin and so on. In each of these seven elements, seven Maruts are present and in each of these seven Maruts, Sri Hari is present in seven separate forms and with seven different names and hence Sri Hari is present in every human body in forty-nine forms with forty-nine names.

In general ‘Nidhana’ means death. But, in the context of this stanza, it is one of the names of seven elements. Description of this narrative is mentioned in Chandogyopanishat and its commentary (Bhashya).

SUMMARY: On coming to the center of heart, aversion (Vairagya) to worldly desires develops; on the arrival at the Anther of the Lotus of Heart, dreams emerge; when Madhusudhana comes to the bottom of the lotus, deep sleep results; on his arrival at the stamen, the being is woken up again. In this way, Lord Sri Hari, wearing eight weapons such as Sudarshana (Divine Disc) and so on, travels in the abodes of the Monitors of Eight Directions (Ashtadikpalakas) and gives this type of wisdoms.

Lord Indra is the King of gods and goddesses and hence in his place, good and spirituous mind prevails; Agni (Fire God) is hot and in his place the sleep, laziness, hunger and thirst are prime traits; Yama is the head of hell and hence the being develops anger, impatience, stubbornness and violence; Nirruti is the head of demons and hence the traits of committing sins and blunders attack the beings; Varuna is the symbol of pleasantness and hence he induces joy, fun and entertainment; Vayu is always mobile and hence the traits of travelling and going to places develop; Moon and Kubera are the symbols of wealth, luxury and comforts and hence the being indulge in deceitful acts; Lord Shiva represents richness and prosperity, which promote philanthropy, donation and related acts.

SUMMARY: Sri Hari, who is the Lord of the Sutranamaka (named as the origin) Sri MuKhyaprANa, gets addressed by Gayitri and lives in our body. Unaware of this basic truth, people travel from place to place and pilgrim to pilgrim, along with wife and children, day in and day out, extoll and claim as undertaking continuous pilgrimage and feel proud.

This stanza clearly states that most people are unaware of the fact that the Lord is within and will never part from the body of anyone at any point of time, which has been explained very well by Lord Krishna in the Gita. People unnecessarily take up pilgrimages to far off places, along with their family and relatives, in search of the Lord who is everywhere, who is omnipresent. However, this stanza does not condemn or object to pilgrimage. What it condemns is the playful, fun-sake pilgrimage. Pilgrimage should not be taken up as picnic. It is a matter of utter submission to the Lord. At pilgrim centres, the Lord has a special presence especially because the idol of Lord is worshipped every day in the appropriate manner as mandated in Shastras. Gita Bhashya explains:

 

BrahmajnAnam vinA muktirna kaThanchidapeeShyatE|

PrayAgAdEstu yA muktirjnAnOpAyatwamEva hi …..

AtO(s)parOkShaknAnAdEva mOkShaha | Karma tu tatsADhanamEva|| 3/20 Gita Bhashya)

ब्र्ह्मज्ञानं विना मुक्तिर्न कथन्चिदपीष्यतॆ।

प्रयागादॆस्तु या मुक्तिर्ज्ञानॊपायत्वमॆव हि …..

अतॊsपरॊक्षज्ञानादॆव मॊक्षः । कर्म तु तत्साधनमॆव॥गीता भाष्य ३/२०)
