SUMMARY: Sri Hari has created several things that can travel in water, on earth and in the sky. There are ten forms of Vibhuti among those creations, which are known as Sajati, Vijati, Sadharana (Of same caste, of different castes and common beings and so on). One should always be happy by worshipping the Lord in his or her mind with the doubtless knowledge that Sri Hari is in all those forms and he exists in those forms that spread across places.

Jala or water is categorized as Vijati; Earth belongs to Sajati and the space should be categorized under SADhArana while the deities are listed under VishESha or special category.

“JalaDharAgasadoLage” means beings that travel in Water, on Earth and in the sky. Aquatic animals, animals or beings and winged beings such as flies, birds and vultures are the three types of beings. Some animals like frog live in water as well as on earth.

SUMMARY: I take shelter in this Gaya, which makes the people happy. The death anniversary performed for forefathers here ensures a place in Vaikuntha for the departed souls. This means the forefathers will be eternally relieved from the cycle of birth and death. There will not be any need for performing the anniversary for forefathers in the future after performing it in Gaya.

In Padma Purana, Vayu Purana and Agni Purana, it is stated that one should have or long to have many sons because even if one of them goes to Gaya and performs the Pindapradana or ChaTaka Shraddha, it will ensure eternal relief from cycle of birth and death and a permanent place in Vaikuntha.

“YEShTavyA bahavaha putrA yadyEkO(s)pi gayAm vrajEt|YajEtavAshwamEDhEna neelam vA vRuShapussrujEt||

ऎष्टव्या बहवः पुत्रा यद्यॆकॊsपि गयां व्रजॆत्।

In Garuda Purana, it is stated:

JeevatO vAkyakaraNAt pratyabdham (mrutAhE) BhUri BhOjanAt|

GayAyAm pinDadAnAchcha triBhihi putrasya putrakA||

जीवतॊ वाक्यकरणात् प्रत्यब्दं (मृताहॆ) भूरि भॊजनात्।

गयायां पिंडदानाच्च त्रिभिः पुत्रस्य पुत्रता॥

A son should obey the orders of parents, when they are alive; after their death, he should perform the anniversary and provide sufficient, delicious meals to friends and relatives and then perform Pndapradana to them in Gaya. Only then he will be gaining the son-hood or he can justify himself as a son.

Although it is said that there will not be any need to perform the anniversary of the deceased every after performing it once at Gaya, the Shastras amply prescribe that even after performing the anniversary in Gaya, the annual ceremony should be performed during the entire lifetime. Performance of the annual ceremony at Gaya has special significance and value.

The Gaya Charitra and two more stanzas on this Kshetra by Sri Vadirajaru will be narrated in the next episode.

SUMMARY (1): Srirama, the foe of Madhu, was very happy after hearing the wonderful information about his beloved wife Seetha Devi from Hanumantha. Adorned with the fierce army of monkeys, he reached Lanka City that was in the middle of the ocean.

SUMMARY(2): Hearing the wornderful information about the deeds of his beloved Bheemasena and other Pandavas, Lord Sri Krishna became very happy. Adorned with his Sudarshana Chakra, the Golden Disc, Lord Krishna reached Dwarakapuri, which was brimming with good and virtuous people and was in the middle of the sea.

“DayitOruvArtayA(दयितॊरुवार्तया)” refers to the information about the whereabouts of Seetha Devi for Ramavatara interpretation; similarly, Krishna was very happy after hearing about Pandavas.

In the case of Ramavatara, Marutsuta refers to Lord Hanumantha and in the case of Sri Krishnavatara, it means Lord Bheemasena as both are incarnations of Lord Vayu.

SUMMARY (1): Lord Srirama exhibited his bravery with heaps and clusters of sharp arrows in killing elephant-like gigantic Kumbhakarna, who had become a huge burden on earth, along with his brother Ravana, the arrogant Indrajitu and the huge army of demons.

SUMMARY (2): Displaying his valor with sharp arrows and the Sudarshana, the Golden Disc, Lord Sri Krishna got the huge armies, consisting of giant elephants that were adorned with earthen pot-like ears and other animals, which have all become a burden on earth, destroyed, along with the brothers who led them or were a part of those armies.

Srirama was assisted by a huge army of monkeys in destroying Ravana, Kumbhakarna, Indrajitu and the entire army of demons. Sri Krishna assisted the Pandavas in getting Kauravas and their eighteen AkShauhini Army destroyed. In both the incarnations, Lord Hari accomplished the task of ShiShTa Rakshana and DuShTa shikShaNa or protection of the virtuous and punishing the evil.

CANTO 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 exists in vivid and varied objects to make them appear or to be considered as sacred. ‘Akhanda’ refers to the eternal form and ‘Khanda’ refers to temporal form.

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.

The following table indicates the different forms:

Sl. No.	Category	Form of manifestation
1.	Neeta	In idols and statues, through invocation, worship
2.	SADhAraNa	Existence in all animate and inanimate things
3,	VishESha	Manifestation in Pruthu, Lakshmana and others
4.	SajAteeya	Matsya and other incarnations
5.	Naija	In attributes such as knowledge, joy = ‘NijaishwaryayutAha sarvE’ iti RatnAvalyuktEhe        (‘निजैश्वर्ययुताः सर्वॆ’ इति रत्नावल्युक्तॆः)
6.	Aahita	Manifestation in Jnanis or knowledgeable – ‘JnAnyAhitAni jAneehi sarvatra chaturAnana’ iti vyAptirahastOktEhe (’ज्ञान्याहितानि जानीहि सर्वत्र चतुरानन’ इति व्याप्तिरहस्तॊक्तॆः)
7.	Sahaja	The form that emanates due to cause and consequence and correlation.
8.	VijAteeya	The portion of Lord Hari which exists in Brahma, Rudra, Indra and others to perform different acts
9.	KhanDa	The infinite form that exist in every grain of rice
10.	AKhanDa	The form that eternally exists in Saligrama and other things.

   There are 40 stanzas in this Canto. Sri Jagannatha Dasaru describes each and every form, their manifestation, significance etc., in these stanzas. It may be difficult to find suitable visual representation for all the forms. We may try to understand them in a bunch of more than one stanza at a time.
