SrI lakshmI sahasram

sankIrNa stabakam

INTRODUCTION BY SRI. V. SADAGOPAN:

This is the 23rd stabakam of the 25 stabakams of SrI LakshmI sahasram by SrI VenkatAdhvari Kavi. It has 30 Slokams. SrI VenkaTAdhvari Kavi has named it sankIrNa stabakam after the big prakIrNa paddhati of SrI RanganAtha pAdukA sahasram (SRPS) with 80 Slokams. Swamy Desikan used prakIrNa paddhati to house many sangatis (nuances and elaborations) instead of being limited to one central theme. This stabakam is thus a ranging coverage of the guNa Vaibhavams of PirATTi. Instead of focusing on one guNam like kAruNyam, kshAnti (Forbearance), vadAnyam (Generosity), the poet celebrates in general all the guNams of PirATTi (stuti of the samasta guNams of MahA Lakshmi). We will follow the essays of U.Ve. Dr. V. KaNNan Swamy of NaavalpAkkam on coverage of this stabakam.

1. Lakshmi is the embodiment of all auspicious guNams:

In the very first Slokam of sankIrNa stabakam, the poet recognizes Her as Para devatai (the supreme Goddess) and offers his vandanams:

samasta guNa vistAra samAveSa niveSanam |
vande aravinda nilayam varadam paradaivatam ||

SrI VenkaTAdhvari kavi created thus far 961 Slokams (this number may be slightly different in different versions) and housed them in twenty two stabakams. He has now only sixty Slokams left for completing this stabakam (sankIrNa stabakam) as well as two other stabakams (nirveda and phala/ SaraNAgati stabakams) to stay under the chosen limit of 25 stabakams and maintaining the "sahasram" count. The poet decides hence to pay tribute to the many guNams of PirATTi in a collective/compressed manner instead of elaborating on a single guNam like he did when he devoted individual stabakams on guNams like kAruNyam, KshAnti et al. We get alerted here to the Kavi's plans to cover the many guNams of PirATTi, who resides in the lotus forest. She is recognized as the boon granting One (varadai). She is eulogized as the abode of countless auspicious guNams (samasta guNa vistAra). We may see one or other of these auspicious guNams in different people. It is rare however to see all of these kalyANa guNams residing in the same person (samAveSam). PirATTi is that supreme devatai, who is the abode of all these ananta kalyANa guNams. For most of the people, these noble guNams might have been acquired gradually or they stay with the person temporarily. In the case of PirATTi, She is the abode of all these kalyANa guNams (niveSanam) and it is through Her grace some blessed people acquire such coveted guNams.

An example of such grand and sweeping celebration of many guNams can be experienced in the 18th Slokam of this stabakam:

Slokam 1

saundaryasya nidhi: mudAm udayabhU: sampatti manjUshikA
kAntInAm nilaya: kalAjalanidhi: kshAnte: niSAntasthalI |
dAkshiNyasya SaraNya sadma kamale! dAtrtva viSrAntibhU:
AsthAnI yaSasAm, prapA asi satrshAm Adyasya pumsa: dhanam ||
