Introductory Note to sadma vaibhava stabakam

by Sri. V. Sadagopan

The poet salutes the many insightful and wondrous episodes in the life of PirAtti during Her avatArams with Her Lord. The Kavi cites these episodes to instruct us on the Mahimai of PirAtti. When She incarnated as SitA PirAtti, She was abducted by RaavaNan and incarcerated in the aSoka Vanam in LankApuri. HanumAn came to LankA as Raama dUtan and located Her in an unhappy state of separation from Her Lord. HanumAn was so angry about the mistreatment of PirAtti by RaavaNan that he set fire to the city of LankA with the fire lit by the RaakshasAs on his tail. That fire from his tail burnt the city without scorching his tail. HanumAn stated at that time the fire lit on his tail was like cool dew, while it burnt the whole city (SiSirasyeva sampAto lAngUlAgre mama sthita:). He recognized that wondrous act was linked to the power of SitA PirAtti’s prayer (yadyasti pati SuSrUshA SIto bhava hanUmata). All acts of PirAtti (caritram) are mysterious (vicitram) and wonderous (citram). Through 12 slokams, the Kavi cites some of the instances of Her citra vicitrams in this stabakam.

In the first slokam, the poet prays to the sacred (pavitram) wife of the Lord (padmanAbhasya kaLatram) to free him of all sins and apacArams and cleanse all the cetanams (punAtu na:). The kavi states that Her vaibhavam is eulogized in all the three worlds (yasya vicitram caritram trishu lokeshu gIyate).

In the remaining 11 slokams of this short stabakam, the poet refers to some of the wonders associated with the caritram of PirAtti such as:

1. The avatAram of PirAtti as ayonijai from BhUmi as well as from the Milky Ocean
2. Her power to make the hot fire feel cool for HanumAn
3. Agni Pravesam and coming out of the Agni kuNDam in tact and with even more lustre than before entering the Agni
4. Protecting even those Raakshasis at aSoka vanam even when they had committed apacArams to Her
5. Protecting the offending crow and blessing JatAyu, the old eagle friend of sUrya Kulam to gain moksham through the power of Her kaTAksham
6. The miracle of staying on the chest of Her Lord perennially
7. Being borne lovingly inside the lotus soft eye of Her Lord
8. Protecting even those sinners, who do not even know how to bow before Her
9. Making even dumb ones become composers of great poetry
10. Making arcai of Her Lord become Vibhava-kAryakaran
11. Becoming the special Mother (tani tAyAr) for him (the poet) although She is the Mother of all in the Universe.

These are some of the wonders revealed by MahA Lakshmi, the divine consort of Sriman nArAyaNa.
