stanza (15).Lokã dhyakshas surdhyaksho

Lokã dhyakshas surdhyaksho
dharma dhyaksho krutha krutha:
Chathurathma chathur vyuha
chathur thamshta chathur bhuja:
lokAdhyakshah -
Loka refers to people whose duty it is to practice dharma,adhyaksha means master or superintendent. An alternate interpretation is that loka refers to the people
.surAdhyaksho -
sura-s refers to devas who are worshipped with the dharma,
dharmAdhyaksho -
dharma signifies the means by which this worship is performed. BhagavAn in the form of aniruddha is the presiding deity over all these, who closely observes all these and grants the fruits of the dharmic acts. He also ensures that the benefits are not obtained by those who do not observe the dharmic acts, and ensures that those who observe the dharmic acts do not go without the fruit
kRtAkRtah -
a) The grantor of fruits that are this this-worldly as well as those that are eternal.b) One who is both the cause and effect of all things.c) One who has a form which is nitya or permanent, as well as transient forms.
caturAtmA
- One whose Self has a four-fold manifestation.The four energies of Hari for creation are - brahmA, daksha and others, time, and all creatures. The four energies of Hari for protection are - vishNu, manu and others, time, and all creatures. The four energies of JanArdana for dissolution are - rudra, time, the god of death, and all creatures. Thus He is caturAtma at all times.
catur-vyUhah
- One with four forms (the vyUha forms).This nAma is interpreted as signifying the four vyUha emanations (vAsudeva, samkarshaNa, pradyumana, and aniruddha). SrI Sankara give the following reference to support this interpretation. In my version of the vyAkhyAna, the original source for this reference is not given, but the quote is attributed to vyAsa
.catur-damshtrah - He of four teeth. damshtra refers to canine teeth. The reference here could be to the four full and strongly developed, powerful, beautiful canine teeth in His incarnation in nRsimhAvatAra.
catur-bhujah - One with four arms. The four hands carry the conch, the discus, the mace, and the lotus respectively. The conch calls man to the righteous path that directly leads to peace and perfection, the divine vishNu padam. Not very many of us listen to this inner voice of conscience, the sound of the pAncajanya conch, and so He gently wields the 'Mace' and we come to suffer small calamities and tragic jerks in our smooth existence. If the individual still does not listen to the call of the 'Conch', the 'Chakra' - the wheel of time, annihilates the entire being. This call and punishment are solely meant to take man to the Ultimate Goal, symbolized by the 'Lotus' in His hand.Yet another explanation is that the Self functions in a four-fold pattern involving mind, intellect, cit, and ego, and these are represented by the four arms containing the conch, the mace, the cakra, and the padma. The cit is represented by the Lotus or Padma, the intellect is the 'Conch', ego is the 'Mace', and mind is the 'Discus'.

THIS ARTICLE IS BY MY PATTU MARUMAAN.

The Rigveda contains the oldest part of the corpus, and consists of 1028 hymns. The Samaveda is mostly a rearrangement of the Rigveda for musical rendering. The Yajurveda gives sacrificial prayers and the Atharvaveda gives charms, incantations and magical formulae. In addition to these there are some stray secular material, such as legends.

The next category of texts are the Brahmanas. These are ritual texts that describe in detail the sacrifices in which the Mantras were to be used, as well as comment on the meaning of the sacrificial ritual. Each of the Brahmanas is associated with one of the Samhitas. The Brahmanas may either form separate texts, or in the case of the Black Yajur Veda, can be partly integrated into the text of the Samhita. The most important of the Brahmanas is the Shatapatha Brahmana of the White Yajur Veda.

The Aranyakas and Upanishads are theological and philosophical works. They are mystic or spiritual interpretations of the Vedas, and are considered their putative end and essence, and thus known as Vedanta ("the end of the Vedas"). They often form part of the Brahmanas (e.g. the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad). They are the basis of the Vedanta school of Darsana

Bhagavath Seva

Ezhudinavar foto kizhey!

(a) Bhagavath Seva or service directly to Narayana in His Vigraha, Salagrama or Avatara forms. (b) BhAgavatha Seva or service to His devotees depending upon which devotee we are put in touch with by Narayana. It is not for us to judge who is or who is not a devotee until we are put in a situation where a stand has to be taken Social Service falls within this category. (c) The third and highest category is Acharya Seva or service to Acharya according to His instructions. due to accept this, I have read in some collections.
