O Lord who has the history of enabling fording of the Ocean of Worldly Existence! |
[edit] Commentary
- 1 anurAgamu – Supreme Love. Please refer to kRti ‘anurAgamu lEni manasu’, wherein Sri Thyagaraja states that unless one develops Supreme love (anurAgamu) towards Lord, he cannot attain real knowledge.
- 2 udara zayanulu – the following verse from ‘Bhaja Govindam’ of Adi Sankaracharya is relevant –
- punarapi jananaM punarapi maraNaM
punarapi jananI jaTharE zayanaM |
iha saMsArE bahudustArE
kRpayA(a)pArE pAhi murArE ||
- punarapi jananaM punarapi maraNaM
- “It is ordained to be born again and die again; indeed it is ordained to sleep in the womb of mother again; this Worldy existence is difficult to ovecome; therefore, O Kind Hearted Lord – the slayer of mura! please protect me.”
