We who were ignorant received the right knowledge, surrendered to the wonderful Lakshmi for the sake of VishNu. She who is free from association with matter and one whose infinite knowledge is not crafty and helps even the partially informed.

Comments:

Aya amA aya ama: — we who have received the right knowledge and became poor of ignorance,

mAyA mAyAm — wonderful like magic, yAm — that, mA — Lakshmi, Aya- for the sake of VishNu, AyAm — have surrendered,

A mAyA — one who has no association with prakrti, yA — which, mA — Lakshmi,

AyAma AyAmAyAm — with extended lengths, mAyAm — knowledge, AyA — one who has it, Ama aya amAyA — will not cheat in helping the half baked (souls).

We have reached Lakshmi for the sake of TirumAl. We are seeking PirATTi’s help to reach EmperumAn. It is only due to Her mediation that TirumAl will let us come near him. We approach TirumAl not only for our happiness but also for His. The Lord enjoys His devotees seeking Him through means that He has recommended. This is possible only with PirATTi’s grace.

When someone becomes smart and intelligent, he also becomes devious. He tries to cheat others and win glory and wealth. PirATTi, on the other hand, even though has j~nAna as Her form, is not conniving or conceited.

Why is the poet calling himself partially knowledgeable? He has started to worship PirATTi with the right attitude that it is for EmperumAn’s happiness. So far he has not worshipped Her and was ignorant. Why is Lakshmi considered magical? She has prakrti or primordial matter as Her form, yet She is free from it or not made of it. Hence, She is amAyA.

Another interpretation is as follows:

mAyA means ignorance or avidyA. Amam means disease. AyAmam means extension. Thus, mAyAmAyAmAya means for the continuation of the disease, ignorance.

yama means crow. yAma AyamA means extension of Her greatness with the kAkAsura episode. It is only through this episode that we learn about Her mercy, patience, love of Her consort, Her motherly love for the meek and Her quality of doing good for even those who hurt Her.

mA means Lakshmi, mAyA means Lakshmi’s; mAyA also means grace. Thus, mAyAmAyA means the grace of Lakshmi.

yamam means control, ayam means good actions. Thus, yAma ayam means austerities such as ashTAnga yogam.

amAyA means ‘our mind did not go towards these good actions’. Lakshmi is destroying such a digressing mind. She is yAma aya amAyA amA. PirATTi approaches both yogis and the ignorant. She goes near yogis to serve as their goal. She goes to the ignorant to serve as their means for right knowledge and liberation.

The meanings for the word mAyA are prakrti, magic, wonderful thing, knowledge and conceit. The poet has used all these interpretations while composing this Slokam.

The following ideas are expressed by the Slokam:

1. PirATTi is our Mother.

2. She is the wealth.
