SrI KRshNA the powerful nectarine medicine!

hE lOkAS-SRNuta prasUti-maraNa-vyAdhES cikitsAm imAm
yOga-GYAs samudAharanti munayO yAm yAGYavalkyAdaya: |
antar-jyOtir amEyam Ekam amRtam kRshNAkhyam ApIyatAm
tat pItam paramaushadam vitanutE nirvANam Atyantikam || 17

In this verse, SrI kulaSEkharar talks to people of the world at large. He asks them to listen to the cure recommended by great yOgi-s and sages like yAGYavalkya against the cycles of birth and death that cEtana-s are subject to as samsArin-s.

AzhvAr points out that the medicine recommended by the revered sages is a nectar-like drink known as SrI-kRshNa. That shining nectar which is immeasurable in its qualities will cure one's samsAric illnesses permanently. AzhvAr equates SrI kRshNa to the powerful medicine which will cure the disease of recurring cycles of birth and death. He says the medicine has been time-tested by great sages and it is the panacea for the disease of samsAra.

The greatness of ashtAkshara Manthram!

hE martyA: paramam hitam SRNuta vO vakshyAmi sankshEpata:
samsArArNavam Apad-Urmi bahuLam samyak praviSya sthitA: |
nAnA-GYAnam apAsya cEtasi namO nArAyaNAyEty amum
mantram sa-praNavam praNAma-sahitam prAvartayadhvam muhu: || 18

In this verse, AzhvAr addresses humanity out of compassion for their suffering. He points out to them that chanting of SrIman-nArAyaNa's ashTAkshara mantram will easily deliver them from their sorrows and worries. He addresses the samsAri-s who are about to drown in the ocean of samsAra and gives them a roadmap to overcome their desperate situation.

AzhvAr reveals that recitation of "namO nArAyaNAya" together with praNavam would remove their ignorance and set them on the right path leading to mOksham.

SrI AzhvAr addresses humans as "Apad Urmi bahuLam samsAra arNavam praviSya sthitA: hE martyA:" AzhvAr sizes them up as those who are deeply immersed in the ocean of samsAra with its dangerous waves. "va: param hitam samkshEpata: vakshyAmi" Let me share with you what is very good for you, in a condensed fashion. Please hear (SRNuta!) this brief statement. My message to you for your deliverance is to recite the ashTAkshara-mantram with rich intonation of praNavam, in a clear state of mind free from delusions and with reverence.
