Narayaneeyam Translation --- By Venmany -- Slokam 2

Dasakam 1 --- Slokam 2 

ഏവം ദുർലഭ്യവസ്തുന്യപി സുലഭതയാ ഹസ്തലബ്ധേ യദന്യത്
തന്വാ വാചാ ധിയാ വാ ഭജതി ബത ജനഃ ക്ഷുദ്രതൈവ സ്ഫുടേയം
ഏതേ താവദ്വയന്തു സ്ഥിരതരമനസാ വിശ്വപീഡാപഹത്യൈ
നിഃശ്ശേഷാത്മാനമേനം ഗുരുപവനപുരാധീശമേവാശ്രയാമഃ

Arduous, really hard to endure this principle

But it procured ease….

Searching farther by means of words,

Skill or body, really folly…

We now bow with calm and courage

To get rid of the world`s miseries

Lord Guvayoorappan

The Lonely Faith.

Dasakam 1 The Greatness and Form of God

Slokam 1

सान्द्रानन्दावबोधात्मकमनुपमितम् कालदेशावधिभ्यां निर्मुक्तं नित्यमुक्तं निगमशतसहस्रेण निर्भास्यमानम्।

अस्पष्टं दृष्टमात्रे पुनरुरुपुरुषार्त्थात्मकम् ब्रह्मतत्त्वं तत्तावत् भाति साक्षात् गुरुपवनपुरे हन्त भाग्यं जनानाम्।।

സാന്ദ്രാനന്ദാവബോധാത്മകമനുപമിതം കാലദേശാവധിഭ്യാം

നിർമുക്തം നിത്യമുക്തം നിഗമശതസഹസ്രേണ നിർഭാസ്യമാനം।

അസ്പഷ്ടം ദൃഷ്ടമാത്രേ പുനരുരുപുരുഷാർത്ഥാത്മകം ബ്രഹ്മതത്ത്വം

തത്താവത് ഭാതി സാക്ഷാത് ഗുരുപവനപുരേ ഹന്ത ഭാഗ്യം ജനാനാം।।

ഇടമുറിയാത്ത ആനന്ദവും ജ്ഞാനവും ആകുന്ന സ്വരൂപത്തോടുകൂടിയതും ഉപമിക്കാനാകാത്തതും കാലത്തിനും ദേശത്തിനും അതീതമായതും നിത്യമുക്തവും അനേകം ശ്രുതികളാൽ വ്യക്തമാക്കപ്പെടുന്നതും അസ്പഷ്ടവും ഒന്നു കണ്ടാൽത്തന്നെ അതൊരു വലിയ പുരുഷാർത്ഥമാകുന്ന ബ്രഹ്മം എന്ന പരമാർത്ഥ വസ്തു ഗുരുവായൂരിൽ ഇപ്പോൾ പ്രത്യക്ഷമായി വിളങ്ങുന്നു. ആളുകളുടെ ഭാഗ്യം....

About Bhattathirippadu (cont..) --- Venmany Parameswaran Namboothirippadu

 About…….. (cont….)

Narayana bhattathirippadu, being an adducer of Meemamsa and Vyakarana of Sanskrit Literature, wrote various subjects. His most accepted and induced works are Prakriya Sarvaswam and Narayaneeyam. Other, supposed to be, his works are Aashwalayana Kriyakrama, Svahasudhakaram, Dhatukavyam, Matsyavataram, Rajasooyam, Ashtami Chambu, Dutavakyam, Subhadraharanam, Panchaliswayamvaram, Sripada Sapthati etc…

Narayaneeyam, his main and most accepted renowned work was written as a Bhakti Kavyam. Bhattathirippadu accepted rheumatism, a disease affecting to the movement of body from his Guru Achyuta Pisharody in the form of Guru Dakshina….. created the Poem Narayaneeyam, 10 Slokams per day, named Dasakams to get rid of the disease. Even though it as a plea towards Lord Guruvayurappan to get rid of the rheumatism, the work was accepted a lot for its Grammar, Poetical Style, Synonyms and Structure.  Narayaneeyam was completed on 27 Nov 1587, and got completely cured from the disease. It is supposed that he accepted the boon Karunyam from the Lord Guruvayurappan who appeared before him on the completion of the Kavyam Narayaneeyam and by the same he got rid of the disease.

Being a savorier of Narayaneeyam I am hereby trying to have a description on the same, with respect to my knowledge.

I planned to go through every slokam from next week. One slokam per week. A Bhageeratha Prayatnam…. Big endorse ….. A concupiscence of my own…..

Done by millions……

Please have a hand…….
