Fifth vibhakthi krithi on Lord Subrahmanya at Tiruttani by Dikshithar.
Pallavi:=
Guruguhaadanyam na jaaneham:= I do not know anyone else other than Guruguha
(Of possesing the following attribute)
Gupthaagamaartha thathva prabhodhino:= With the great awakening of the philosophy and meaning of the agamas held in secret, Shakthi is known as thripura. Literally it means three cities. They are the states of wakeful, dream and deep sleep. The under current of consciousness in all of them which remains unaffected is metaphorically called Shri thripura. By giving the feminine concept of thripura, the care of loving mother for her created offsprings is established. The interest in thripura creates the zeal for knowing the Truth. This study is the essence of the study of all agamaas viz. vedic, vaishnava, shaiva, shaktha,and Pasupatha.
AnuPallavi:=
Arunodayaananda koti brahmaandaakaara shivaadi dharaantha thathva swaroopiNo:= Embodying the shiva, vishnu thathvas He is resplendant like sunrise in crores of universes at a time.
Charanam:=
Sahasra dala sarasija madhya nivaasino:=The atman the self in the form of Guruguha resides in the Sahasraara chakra which is above the head and known as the thousand petalled lotus.
Sakala chandra bhaskara teja prakaasino:= He is shining as all the moons and suns in the crores of universes put together.
Sahajaananda sthita daasa visvaasino:= The entire creation is like a stage on which each created being or matter exhibits certain characteristics of own and play their roles as per a natural order portraying various moods and which produces and removes various seasons accompanied by celestial music and roaring of the oceans.The stage is illuminated by the sun, moon and the stars, with its actors and actresses as living beings in all the worlds.These denizens of universe enjoying the bliss of the natural order stand in awe-stricken loyalty to Guruguha.The Lord is the silent witness to this cosmic dance.
Sacchith sukhaathmaka visva vilaasino:= The infinite consciousness is omnipresent and it is without beginning and end. It is pure , unmodified, undifferentiated being. It is known as existence, knowledge and bliss. The very same infinite consciousness fancied to create this universe with its vivid sentient beings and insentient matter.
Madhyama kaalam:=
Aharaha:prabhala hamsa prakaasaathmano:= In Srividya Shiva is known as prakaasa and Shakthi is called vimarsa i.e the opposite of prakaasa in the sense that it denotes reasoning due to the existence of doubts. Prakaasa is represented as 'ha' and vimarsa is represented as
'sa'. The principle that joins shiva kala 'ha' and shakthi kala 'sa' is called MUKHA AKSHARA
which is denoted by bindu (.) Therefore prakasa-bindu-vimarsa all the three combined becomes
HAMSA.
The chinmudra is the symbolic representation that jiva is shiva or prakasa swarupa.The thumb
in chin mudra stands for prakasa thathva and the index finger denotes jiva in thuria avastha.
When they both join they indicate both are one. Rest of the three fingers are separated to show that the three avasthas viz. jaagra, swapna, sushupthi. The jiva crossing these three stages becomes united with prakasa thathva in thuria avastha.Day in and day out Guruguha enlightens the liberated jivas of this thathva.
Dahara vidya pradaayaka paramaathmano:= In the eighth chapter of Chaandogya upanishad, Dahara vidya is termed as a meditation technique of concentrating in the cave of the heart about Brahman.The upanishads are the direct instructions of Paramaathma. Thus Guruguha is called by Dikshithar as the Paramathma offering dahara vidya.
JahadajahallakshaNaya jeevaikyaathmano:= What is jahallakshaNa? When we look at a statement that there is a village on the Ganges, the river Ganges (the primary meaning) is replaced by the idea that the village is on the banks of the Ganges.
Ajahallakshana:= When we say the spears are coming, we mean an army with spears are coming. Here the primary cause is retained.
Jahadajahallakshana:= When we say, the boy is a lion, we attribute the partial secondary nature of lion may be its power, strength or valour leaving other animal attributes.
Dikshithar praises the lord Guruguha as representing the oneness of jiva with Himself on the basis of Jahadajahallakshana.
Raha:pujitha chidananda nathaathmano:= As mentioned earlier Guruguha is the Paramathma offering dahara vidya in the cave of His heart in secret and enjoyer of self as the Lord of the mind full of bliss.
This krithi as rendered beautifully by Sri.R.Suryaprakash is available in arvindsdad.blogspot.com under the heading Dikshithar krithis.The blog further contains a treatise on the raga balahamsa.
