My prarkridam Acharyan says that People like I who never follows Acharam anushtanam etc,are not
eligible to perform Agnihotram & Chant [red]SRI SUKTHAM[/red]. therefore For people like I to
worship[b][i] SriDevi, our Divine mother[/b][/i] who gives prosperity to the chetanas in this birth &
Nonperishable /immortal ness in the Next , Swami Desikan Gave us This
[b][blue]SRISTUTI[/b][/blue]
[P]
By chanting this slokam everyday we may get all the prosperity[blue][i] (Vanchhitanam Vasunam –
slokam #16).[/blue][/i]
During the life period of our Acharyan swami Desikan Once a Brahmachari Approached our Acharya
vallal & requesting His help to get wealth & money so that he(that Brahmachari) may follow the
Grihastasramam. {In ancient days just like today if the bridegroom don’t have paddy fields, cows etc
no body will give him their daughters hand in marriage, and a brahmachari’s not permitted perform
all rituals That's why this brahmachari requested our acharya vallal's Help.} He took the
Brahmachari to Lords abode and start chanting this slokam in the Perundevi thayar’s sannidi. On
hearing the chanting(esp slokam 15& 16) from HER favorite son the divine mother showered gold
coins . our achryan asked the brahmachari to collect all the coins for his marriage/life saying He
needs none of it. such a parama vairAgyasaali our Acharya vallal Ji.

. Oh divine mother how a person with little KNOWLEDGE can start chanting Praising you. Your place
of living are HIS Vakshsthalam & lotus field. You came out of Parkadal (SHIRA SAHARAM) & as
SeethaG you came out of Yagna salai. Thus un like My Lord Sriman Narayanan you never under gone
womb living(GARBA VASAM) and you appeared(avataram) in this world. If we look /notice your
greatness & Keerti I just don’t understand How a a person with little knowledge(STHOKA PRAGJNAN)
can start chanting Praising you?
Oh Perum Devi! I engage in praising You. Is it proper for me to evaluate Your vaibhavams? How lofty
is Your place of birth How loftyi s Your chosen places of residence? How immense is the magnitude of
Your wealth?How great are Your auspicious Gunams? How can adiyen think of coming to termswith
them all and venture to sing in praise of Your unlimited Vaibhavam? (BHUMA)You took Your
avatharam first in the Milky Ocean and then appeared (AAVIRBHAVAM)in the Yaaga Saalai of King
Janaka at Mitilapuri. In both these manifestations,You were self-manifest and did not have to endure
garbha Vaasam like Your husbandin Raama-Krishna avatharams

Contd
. One place of your residence, the Lotus pond Known for its natural fragrance and purity. The other
place of residence of yours isthe sacred chest of Your Lord. There is no one who can claim to have
those lofty stanams (places of residence). All the wealths of this world (LEELA VIBHUTI)and the
Supreme abode (Nithya Vibhuti / Sri Vaikuntam) are under Your rulership.
….
Your anantha Kalynaa gunams are beyond anyanyone's grasp. Each of these many
gunams is difficult to comprehend and describe. Thus in every aspect, You’r matchLess.
Swamy Vedanta Desikan identifies himself as a sthoka Prajgnan” or a person of limited
intellect. Sthoka means little or small. Prajgna means intuitive wisdom It
is customary for great Acharyans to acknowledge their disqualifications when they engage in sthuthis
about Bhagavan and His Devi, Maha Lakshmi. .

Maha Lakshmi when chetanas ( people /living things with awareness about supreme reality) achetanas with profound devotion
starts chanting praise( stuti) {to attain all the better things }this world start noticing their effort & acknowledge their bakthi and
start praising them. These things happen because of you, their bakthi towards you Devi. Although I a person with limited
intellect having any other go except you thiruvadi Devi , trying to the job of chanting slokams upon you, it ‘s an
 0:49:52 a10/p1010/15/2008 6
impossible/uphill task ; I’m still trying I certainly believe you will make me do the job of praising you by your benign grace .
The world will take notice about this & I will be celebrated for this effort. There is no doubt about this.

Who don’t want to prostrate on your Thiruvadi(feet) ( charanagati) , to perform this kainkaryam( devoted duty) and seek all
the better things?like wise I’m also trying to this. Although I don’t have the ability to sthothram(chanting praise) you but the
desire* to do so will see through it and I will get all the better things.
[blue]*[u]Compare[/u] In His Vishnu sahasranama Vyakyanam Varadhachari sadagopan swami ( sadagopan .org)mentions
about a little kid goes to his mother & demands to have an Orange. The baby miss pronounce Orange as [b]‘Ange[/b]”,but the

In this stanza, our Acharyan makes us understand both Bagawan & Prarti Are supreme deity (paradevadai) to us.
Devi, Maha Lakshmi. Loka Mata [i]your Husband Lord[b] SRIMAN NARAYANAN [/blue][/i] has many
qualities***.[blue]

 HE becomes the Antaryami of all Chetanas & achetanas (achetanan opposite of chetanan..Chetanan means one
who knows about the supreme reality.)(Antar bahicha tat sarvam vyapya Narayana stita: Narayana suktam)

 By virtue of HIS sankalpam the act of Creation, protection & eradication is just like a game To HIM
 By taking HIS Chest as your place of living, you never leave that place there by HE get the name Srinivasan. By
moving your red lacquer (Tamizh=Sen nira alankaram= Sem Panju kuzhambu thadaviya Padangal=is it
ok.correcta sollungo?) decorated feet. You are making a permanent mark on HIS chest. It further glorifies HIS
beauty/appearance.[/blue]

 The Yogis, who are contemplating HIM thro the Nirvikalpa Samadhi, Set their mind (Aim) the above said (3) red
marks in his chest as their aim to attain salvation & ever blissfulness. The Nitya suris enjoys the ever blissfulness
by concentrating on the above marks in his Vakshasthalam
 Because of HIS kalyana gunam he’ stays as paripoornan.

 [blue] All this are possible to HIM because of your brightness (jyoti) you have taken residence in HIS
Vakshasthalam, & there by glorifying HIS appearance.[b]. pl.ref (stanza #(1) Bhushayantheem
Svakanthya)[/b][/blue]

[red] She resides on the chest of this Paramathma engaged in many vyaparams
through His Sankalpa Balam. Her foot is decorated with a radiant red lacquer dye.
That rubs on the chest of the Lord, when she moves and leaves a mark of her
presence. All the glories of the Lord arise from her presence on His chest and her
Presence in turn is revealed by the mark of the red dye from Her Thiruvadi. The
Vedantis recognize Him from that lakshanam and eulogize Him as the Supreme
Being based on that revelation. She is the auspiciousness behind our Lord's
auspiciousness. She is Sri and He is SrinivAsan. That is how He is recognized and
revered …says the 4th Slokam.[/red]
[i] [Blue]***As per the ( Vedic tradition)Vedas one has to praise the spouse’s qualities to respective betterhalf of that
particular party -. In [b] Sri Suktham [/b] the Vedam glorifies / praises the qualities of SRI i.e. Maha Lakshmi to Bagawan
Vishnu (- Mukkur Lakshmi Narasimachar swami.) In the same way Here our Acharyar Swami Vedanta Desikan Praises the
qualities Of sriman Narayanan to Devi..Stanza#(4)!! [/blue]…

• This bond of love between both of you is everlasting/eternal.

• There is no limit to your (both Perundevi & perarulalan ) kalyana Gunams.

my lord is to addressed as [blue] “Sriya Pati” [/blue].because both of you are inseparable.
• The preferred places for you both , to enjoy & rest are (i) Adisheshan as Bed.(ii) in the clear minds/ hearts
of yogis &(iii) Vedantams
• You both are always taking rest over Adisheshan; the pure minded yogis are always contemplating upon
you by their lotus heart (Hridya kamalam), & the shrutis (Vedangal)eternally praising your
qualities(Kalyana Gunams) These are the places of rest & enjoyment for both of you while on Yoga nidhra.

 . Whenever a Yajgnam performed in this world the oblations/offering (havis) were given to the
Devas thro’ Agni.
 Such a deva for him this oblation meant for known as [blue]Udhdheshyan. [/blue] That Particular
Dev feels happy on receiving these kind of havis
 . These kinds of oblations are known as [blue]shesham[/blue] & the recipient is known as[blue]
Sheshi. [/blue]
 Like the above said yagna [blue] PRAPATTI [/blue]*** is also a type of sacrifice.
 {(***) [blue] Prapatti [/blue] (as per [blue] swami s Nyasa Dasagam[/blue])form 3 parts
,submitting the Atma to HIM.
 Leaving the Responsibility to save the Atma with HIM.
 Submitting the fruits of action of saving the atman to HIM}
 In Prapatti this Atma is offered as an oblation by the chetanan(it’s the Havis in Prapatti)
 …………Stanza ...(6)... Contd...!! …………….
 The only deference here in this prapatti yagjnam is that Atma Doesn’t belong to jivan , it’s belong
to HIM In this yagjna(Sacrifice) the[blue] sheshi & the sheshan is Sriyapati[/blue]
 The rest of the sacrifices the sheshis, Indran,Agni etc are although Devas Now, they aren’t devas
naturally, they were jives like us. They become devas due to their good deed.
 On realizing that this atma is the property of Perumal the Jivan who become chetanan, resubmit it
to HIM.
 Since the property returns(as a havis) to the owner back naturally [blue]HE becomes the
udhdheshyan &(because he gets havis ) sheshi too[/blue]
 This is the difference between Perumal & rest of the Devathas, who get to the post & sheshitvam
due to their past good deeds for limited period only.
 What to talk of U R(both perumal & prati) greatness which is vast, unlimited even the Vedas are
still searching.On knowing this difference, we all are happy.
 Also in this [i][blue]Yagnam of Prapatti Bagwan is not sheshi & sheshan alone .Both of you
become Udhdheshan & sheshi in this prapatti yagjnam[/i] [/blue].
 In this prapatti you both are become (single Identity for us) joint sheshi & udhdheshyan [blue]
(Ekasheshitva Yogat) [/blue] to receive the resubmitted Atma by the chetanan.
 Both of yours non-comparable quality is unlimited [blue] (Avachedam). [/blue]
 Even the shrutis(Vedas) always [blue](Nityam) [/blue] trying to Search [blue] (anvishyamano)
[/blue]/fathom your (both of u r) greatness.
 By thinking about the (both of) your greatness makes our heart happy & dancing with
joy[blue] (Nartyan Maanasam na:) [/blue]

A.)There are many siddhantam and they have different views about their ideas. Some [blue]
(कितिचद) [/blue] say that you are the Empress of this universe.
B.)One group states that you and Sriman Narayanan are only one Aathma but have two
separate bodies. Another group Believes that Bagawan himself also known as Lakshmi
and there is no separate form of Lakshmi.
C.)A select few believe that you are [blue] (तिामेि) [/blue] the Supreme over and above the
three, truth/reality(Tattvam) viz [i] Chetanan{चेतणन} (knower), Achetanan and Iswaran
(Master).[/i] Thus, all of these groups accept you, Bhagavati, as Sarveswari and yet argue
with each other..
D.)Another[blue](अपरे )[/blue] group opposing this view ,that Lakshmi is Sarveswari, denies
Your Sarveswaratvam and insists that Vishnu is the Lord of the entire universe [blue]
(लोकनाथं) .[/blue] (Sarveswaran) and that you (Lakshmi) have no claim to be called
Sarveswari.
 0:49:58 a10/p1010/15/2008

E.)They claim that you are a visesha Jeevan.These two groups insist and reject [blue] (अंत:
कलि) [/blue] iswarathvam for Lakshmi & argue vehemently for their points of view and
become exhausted just like a fellow who is drowning tries to come up for breather &
drowns again .[blue] ( िकमचीद उतीिि मगनै) .[/blue]
F.) These people declare that the Saasthram (indoctrination / theory) backed their views and
are unable to establish their points of views. They come forward to accept that Lakshmi
is a separate reality/identity and accept your Vaibhavam (greatness) but they fall apart by
not accepting your Iswarathvam (nature of Being Iswari).[i][/red]

[blue] oh Divine mother, Maha Lakshmi ,
[u][b] Our Siddhantham (Doctrine/Principle) [/u] is quite different [/b].:- .[/blue]
a) We believe that Your Lord engages in acts such as Creation of the world etc.., for
your amusement. [blue] (तित सममपीतिै). .[/blue]

b) The Vedas when looked superficially, appears to be talking about HIM alone,.
c) If one studies the shrutis deeply, it becomes clear that the [i]inner meaning of
the Vedas is about revering you both as equal [/i]. .
d) Therefore, we consider[i] Both (Perumal & Maha Lakshmi) of You as Supreme
deity (पर दे ितै) [/i].During the performance of [blue] Prapatti (पपित-Surrender to
the Lord).[/blue]; one has to accept both of you as [blue]upayam (means) .[/blue]
for offering the Aathma. [i] In some Sacrifices the saasthram (theory) point out
that one has to combine two Devatas and offer the Havis to that united
Devatai.[/i]
e) Therefore, in [blue][i] Prapatti sacrifice - {apt Sanskrit term for”Prapatti’ is
Bharanyaasa***).[/blue] - one has to aim BOTH OF YOU as the target to offer the
Aathma as the Havis. THUS, conclude the Prapatti yagjnam successfully [/i].
f) As a fruit of that Offering, the [blue] Chetanan / liberated Jeevan should perform
Nithya Kainkaryam to BOTH OF YOU at Your Supreme abode. Both of you
together shine as upayam and phalan to us.[/blue]

g) ***[blue][i] भरण निास( Bharan nyasa),{ “भरण निास” –“भरण(Bharan) Means

support/ maintenance/sustenance & निास(Nyasa)means deposit/trust”}[/blue]

means..”With the help of Achaaryan, the seeker tries to attain salvation by
depositing himself at the lotus feet (Thiruvadi) of Perumal & Pirati for THEIR
service. Refer Swami Desikan’s- NYASA DASAKAM in this regard. [/i].

[u]Maha Lakshmi., Devi..,[/u]
a) Your husband Sriman Naryanan has made a
sankalpam/Promise [blue] “Baddha-Deekshasya”[/blue] to save
his bakhtas from the miseries of this world.
b) He is doing this job of saving his bakhtas from the worldly
miseries like a sacrifice (Yagnam).
c) As per Hindu custom, If a sacrifice (yagnam) need to be
performed, the Karta (doer of the yagnam) has to have His wife
next to him, other wise he cannot perform the yagnam..
d) Therefore, Pirati, the lokamata, being bagwan’s consort
you always see that His vritam of saving His bakhtas
successfully completed.
e) {We have already seen this, in stanza # 6, that both
bagwan & pirati are in deep love with each other & she never
leaves his side. [i] [blue]””Nishpratyuha Pranaya Gaditam Devi
Nityanapayam”” :-Jaganmata you & your lord Vishnu always
bound together and never leave each other-Stanza #6[/i] [/blue]..}
f) Therefore, Thayar Maha Lakshmi sees that her husband
Bagawan Vishnu always carry out the job of saving HIS devotees
from the worldly miseries successfully.
g) The last line of this stanza means, Perumal Being Bakhta
Vaatsalyan may keep on taking various incarnations to save His
Devotees, you being his loving companion follow him wherever
he goes, as the tides of the Paarkadal (ksheera saharam) may B
far off, its sweetness never diminishes.

color[i][blue] (तप – जामबुनदाभा-tapta- jaambhunadabha) [/i][/blue]
d) You have a very slender[i][blue] (तनिी-tanvee) [/i][/blue]waist, &
due to the weight of your heavy breasts, your beautiful thirumeni
slightly bent forward.
e) Your golden colored Thirumeni’s presence in his vakshasthalam
(in HIS green emerald Body) gives HIM a bewitching beauty.
f) Your Thirumeni is of the form of Bliss.
g) From the speed of your sankalpam, from time to time, your divine
incarnation forms arise from that ocean of Bliss.
h) Once the task pertains to that particular, incarnation completes these
Forms merges in to your Para roopam.

This slokam is one of the Key slokams of sristuti(one of the best among
the best)
[i][u]Devi. Maha Lakshmi:-[/i][/u]
You have taken a viratam [blue][u] [b]( Vratibhi) [/b] [/blue][/u] to save[blue][u]
[b](Traana) [/b] [/blue][/u] the bakhtas from the miseries[blue][u] [b]( Aarta) [/b]
[/blue][/u] of this world.
[p]
Compare.:- in the slokams # (10) in which we already studied that Bagawan
Sriman Naryanan has made a sankalpam/Promise [blue]( “Baddha-
Deekshasya”)[/blue] to save his bakhtas from the miseries of this world;
[p]
Our Acharyan says like her hubby Maha Vishnu, Pirati also taken this viratam of
saving us from the worldly miseries.
[p]
Maha Lakshmi Your beautiful eyes resembles[blue][u] [b]( Antarangai) [/b]
[/blue][/u] that of early morning blossoming[blue][u] [b](Ushasi Mishataam) [/b]
[/blue][/u] LOTUS [blue][u] [b]( Ambhojaanaam) [/b] [/blue][/u].
[p]
Your beautiful eyes resembles that of Beautiful (karmegam) dark blue clouds
[blue][u] [b] (Neelaambuvahai) [/b] [/blue][/u] *** which showers Amrita
vaarsham[blue][u] [b] (Amritaasaara) [/b] [/blue][/u]/ karuna kataksham on her
Bhaktas.
[p]
Your eyes are full of compassion towards chetanas & you want to relive them of
their miseries.
[p]
Whichever direction[blue][u] [b]( Yasyaam Yasyaam Dishi Viharate Devi Drishti)
[/b] [/blue][/u] your auspicious vision- roams , all the sampad$$( prosperity)
want to go in that [blue][u] [b] (Tasyaam Tasyaam) [/b] [/blue][/u] Direction(##),
competing with each other by saying I will go first, I will go first ,in that direction.
[p]
Not full open eyed glance is needed just glancing from the corner of your eyes
[blue][u] [b]( Apaangai )[/b] [/blue][/u]} is enough, for all prosperity to compete
with each other to alleviate our problem.

(###)[i] In the HINDI FILM HARIVAMSAM I remember this particular scene.
-Kuselar swamin prompted by his wife, gone to meet his childhood friend Lord

Krishna for help. he took some AVAL-(Chidwa in Hindi- I don’t know the English
name For AVAL)as an offering. bagwan eagerly eats that AVAL. Devi Rukmani
(as if innocently) enquires Bagawan where from this pious Brahmanan come
from?. Bagawan by saying from this direction only he came here, indicate the
direction to her. On Devi’s glance all the iswaryam fills up in the Kusalers
residence transforming the house from Hut to bunglow etc..[/i]
[p]
[i](***)1.[red]swami Thirupaanazhwar[/red] In His (last stanza)
[red]Amalanadipiran[/red] says [b] [red]Kondal vannanai[/red].[/b] (Kondal
means dark clouds). Wherever the dark clouds goes there must be some rain
occurs that particular place. It’s surely going to rain there.
[p]
Like wise Bagawan, Forgiving all our transgressions, having compassion also
showers Vatsalyam on us/his devotes like the above said dark clouds ( where
as the other type of clouds like cirrus/cumulus are just for looking only... ah we
can write many Kavitais(poems/lyrics) about them..Ada thavira 8 Anaku(50Paisa
ku ) proyojanam kidayadu[:)] .)
[p]
In VSN(1000names of Vishnu ) also we have already studied about the
Thirunamam[b] [red] Parjanyan[/b] [/red] (Stanza #87)
[p]
. Remember [blue] swami Desikan already said( in Sristuti sloakm #(9)}- If one
studies the shrutis deeply, it becomes clear that the [i] inner meaning of the
Vedas is about revering you both as equal [/i]. . Therefore, we consider[i] Both
(Perumal & Maha Lakshmi) of you as Supreme deity (पर दे ितै) [/i]. Swami
Desikan in another way here reiterates the same point.[/blue]
[p]
$$ 4. Sarveswari,Maha Lakshmi as you haven’t commanded a particular
Iswaryam to go in that direction where your auspicious Vision roams, all
prosperities are competing with each other to go first in that particular
Direction..[/i]
