Stambha-Bhava of Bhagavan Shree Narayana


Narasimha-Leela confirms the Supremacy of Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi, as SHE was THE ONE, Who could pacify Bhagavan Shree Narayana. 

In "Shree Lakshmi-Sahasram" (Shringara Stabakam) OM VishnuPad VenkaTAdhvari Kavi writes about Stambha-Bhava of Shreemati Piratti-Devi and Bhagavan Shree Narayana. 
This Verse is One of The Most Amazing Verses in all Bhakti Sahitya. 
"Shree Lakshmi-Sahasram", Shringara Stabakam,
 Verse 6

स्तम्भतः स्वयमवाप सम्भवं 
यः पुरा नरहरिर्हरिप्रिये । 
शाम्बराहितविलासडम्बरैः 
स्तम्भमम्ब जनयत्ययं त्वयि । । 

stambhataH svayamavApa sambhavaM 
yaH purA naraharirharipriye | 
shAmbarAhitavilAsaDambaraiH 
stambhamamba janayatyayaM tvayi | |

Meaning: Hari Priye! The Narahari who emerged from the pillar (stambham) during the HiraNya vadam created stambham(motionlessness) in You by His beautiful and lovely glances. 

Comments: "EmperumAn emerged from the stambham following HiraNyakaSipu’s challenge to PrahlAda. 

He wished to do something in return for the stambham “for housing Him”. 

So through His lovely glances He stirred the feeling of stambham in PirATTi. 

Stambham, pralayam and romAncam are various bodily expression of one in love. Among these, stambham represents a form where the person stands immobile due to immense love or fear.  

EmperumAn, the man lion, whose beauty surpasses the beauty of Manmatha looked at PirATTi, the lady lion with so much love that She was overcome with desire for Him that She could not even move. 

She stood motionless like a stambham. In the fourth Slokam, the poet said PirATTi caused stambha bhAvam in EmperumAn. 

Here he says EmperumAn created the stambha bhAvam in PirATTi".
