A prayer for the Embrace of The Lord

The Volume 02 of "Shree RangaNatha Mahimai" by SADAGOPAN.ORG is brilliant, as it contains cites from Vedas for Bhaktas of Bhagavan Shree Ranganatha. 

I liked very much the cite from "Shree Atharva-Veda" designated as "A Prayer for the Embrace of The Lord": 

उरूं नो लोकमनु नेषि विद्वान्त्स्वर्यज्ज्योतिर्भयं स्वस्ति ।
उग्रा त इन्द्र स्थविरस्य बाहू उप क्षयेम शरण बृहन्ता । ।

"Shree Atharva-Veda", XIX.15.4

O Glorious Lord! Thou take us by hand to the vast riches, bliss and to Your Parama Padham, where shines the light of knowledge, perfect peace reigns and one is free form fear of any kind. 

Your Divine Arms are strong and powerful. They are steadfast in coming to our rescue; your arms are firm in lifting us over all dangers. 

May we be blessed to find ample refuge as PrapannAs in Your strong arms!

"Shree Lakshmi-Tantra", notes on Verses 1.2-6

"Shree Lakshmi-Tantra", Verse 01.02
This autumn I will read Hindi variant of "Shree Lakshmi-Tantra" in more profound manner (not separate Chapters as before). 

The Hindi variant I have thanks to The KRIPA of Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi is by Dr. Sudhakar Malaviya.

The translation of the Verse 01.02 is very interesting, it has word "खगासन" (khagAsana) = sitting on bird and  Dr. Sudhakar Malaviya makes the note, that the word could denote not only Garuda, but The Owl of Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi. 
The last sentence of the Verse is unusual too, as it glorifies Shree Shree Lakshmi-Narasimha - लक्ष्मी नृसिंह रुप की हम उपासना करते हैं  

"Shree Lakshmi-Tantra", Verses 01.03-06
Then the excellent word to remember from the Verse 1.3 is सर्वशास्त्रविशारद (sarvazAstravizArada). 

The subsequent Verses dwells on Yogic Siddhas starting from Adhara Charka Siddhi to  रागद्वेषविवर्जित (the conquest of raga-dwesha vikaras), as well as all The Margas - from Sankhya and Moksha to Bhakti Margas. 

Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi will explain that all The Margas are actually belong to Her and Bhagavan Shree Narayana in subsequent Verses.

Mukti Nirupana - Verse 2.10.6 of "Shreemad Bhagavatam" and false laukika rupa

निरूपण (nirUpaNa) means "definition" in Sanskrit. 
I am reading "Shreemad Bhagavatam" with Tika of OM VishnuPad Vallabha Acharya now (LINK in my E-Library). 

OM VishnuPad Vallabha Acharya reminds us, that Verse 2.10.6 of "Shreemad Bhagavatam" defines Mukti: 


The Verse itself is truly very interesting, I loved very much the mentioning of Upadhis in both English translations:

निरोधोऽस्यानुशयनमात्मनः सह शक्तिभिः
मुक्तिर्हित्वान्यथा रूपं स्वरूपेण व्यवस्थितिः

nirodho.asyAnushayanamAtmanaH saha shaktibhiH
muktirhitvAnyathA rUpaM svarUpeNa vyavasthitiH

Translation 01 (from this edition): "Nirodha" means the withdrawal of the individual soul with all its qualifications or adjuncts into the Lord subsequent to His retirement (falling into Yoganidra). And when the jiva relinquishes its assumed character (doership etc.) and realizes its true nature (Brahmanhood), they call it 'Mukti' or emancipation of the soul."

Translation 02 (from this edition): "Nirodha is the withdrawal of the Jiva, along with all his powers and limitation in Hari when he enters his Yogic sleep. Moksha or liberation consists of abandoning the unreal form, and to stay in the essential nature of Brahman". 

This subsequent Hindi translation from "Shree Subodhini" is superb, I like the idea of leaving false (अन्यथा) rupa and staying into genuine svarupa:


Still the Tika by OM VishnuPad Vallabha Acharya and the idea of jiva, assuming painful and totally alien for her material (upadhi) rupas is utterly brilliant.
