Upon reading this stanza one may feel, "Oh I know this tAratamya already. There is no need for repetition. This was already explained in bR^ihat tAratamya saMdhi."

Nay, we understand from bhagavata tAtpaRya:-

"punaH punaH kathAM prAhuH abhyAsAduttamaM phalaM vijj~nAya yatra kAmAsyuH vidvAMsastatra tatra hi"

- reiterating that one obtains increased phala by repeatedly listening to the same, therefore, JagannAtha dAsa starts explaining aNutAratamya (as a summary)

viShNu shabda vAchya shrIman nArAyaNa, who has infinite virtuous qualities is Supreme.

ramA dEvi is prakR^iti nAmaka – sR^iShTi is a special feature of sUxma prakR^iti. The differences in the prakR^iti guNa causes sR^iShTi. laxmI dEvi is the abhimAni for jaDa prakR^iti. prakR^iti nAmaka laxmI dEvi (also called chitprakR^iti) is lower than ParamAtma by infinite guNa-s.

The eldest son of ParamAtma, i.e. brahma dEvaru, who was born in he Lotus Flower emanating from the Navel of ParamAtma is also called 'paramEShTi'.

vAyu dEvaru who is jIvOttama is also called 'pavana'. paramEShTi and pavana are lower than laxmI dEvi.

vAgAbhimAni vANI nAmaka saraswatI dEvi and bhaktyAbhimAni bhAratI dEvi are lower than their respective husbands brahma dEvaru and vAyu dEvaru.

garuDa (viShNuvAha), shESha (phaNIMdra) & R^idra (mR^iDa nAmaka) are all lower than saraswatI dEvi and bhAratI dEvi.

The 6 wives of shrI kR^iShNa – called as ShaNmahishi-s (nIla, laxaNa,mitraviMda, kALiMdi, bhadrA, & jAMbavatI) are lower than garuDa, shESha & R^idra. However, jAMbavatI is higher than the rest among ShaNmahishi-s.

Summary

whereas the rest of the 85 are classified as shEShashatastha dEvata-s. Out of these 85 dEvata-s, 83 of them belong to kaxa-18 & two of them belong to the lower kaxa.

Thus dhanapa, vishvaksEna & ashvini dEvata-s are slightly higher than shEShashatastha dEvata-s.

Among the 14 manu-s listed below, 3 of them are in higher kaxa-s as indicated, while the rest of them belong to kaxa-18. However, these 11 manu-s are lower than gaNapati, dhanapa, vishvaksEna & ashvini dEvata-s.

JagannAtha dAsa has till now described the tAratamya of all the jIva-s upto mAnuShOttama-s who are jaMgama jIva-s. He now takes our attention to sthAvara jIva-s.

The mukti yOgya sthAvara jIva-s like trees, creepers, grass, germinating seeds are graded in the reducing order of tAratamya and they belong to kaxa-36.

Compared to these sthAvara jIva-s, the nitya baddha-s who have mishra svabhAva from anAdi kAla i.e. the nitya saMsAri-s (rajO jIva-s) are lower and belong to in kaxa-37.

The tamO yOgya-s who do not have bhagavad dhyAna at all are lower than nitya saMsAri-s and they belong to kaxa-38.

'amaruShAdyabhimAni daityaru' i.e. the daitya-s who are abhimAni-s for kAma, krOdha and such other guNa-s are still lower and they belong to kaxa-39.

The legend says that namuchi, a rAxasa after great penance obtained a boon from brahma that he would not be killed by anything that is either wet or dry. He began to harass iMdra and the dEvata-s. Encouraged and supported by Lord VishNu, iMdra commenced destroying the army of rAxasa namuchi, who hid in a cave in sUxmAkara (small size) giving up his sthUlAkara (physical manifestation). iMdra dipped sudaRshana, the disc of Lord Vishnu in the foam of the ocean and sent it into the cave. Lord VishNu manifesting Himself at the centre of the disc destroyed the prANavAyu (life breath) of the rAxasa with the fire of His exhalation. namuchI and other daitya-s belong to kaxa-40.

viprachitta is the son of kashyapa-danu and he was married to siMhikA (sister of hiraNyakashipu). viprachitta and other daitya-s belong to kaxa-41.

kali puruSha is lower than alakumi. There is none lower than kali among the daitya-s. He is indeed a daitya of the highest order. The other daitya-s could be considered to be having lesser dOSha-s than kali. In the 3 lOka-s, there is none who can match the dOSha-s that kali has. He is worst daitya.

JagannAtha dAsa says that we must remember kali during urination, excretion, around stinking areas filled with excrement and dirt.

The mukti yOgya jIva-s from R^idra till the blade of grass have a higher proportion of satva guNa-s. Generally, the dEvata-s belong to this class. chatuRmukha brahma is their abhimAni.

The madhya jIva-s have broken bhakti in ParamAtma. They constantly doubt the existence of ParamAtma although they would pray etc… They have mishra j~nAna and a high proportion of rajO guNa. Generally, mAnava-s belong to this class. puraMjana is the abhimAni for this class of jIva-s.

kali is the abhimAni for tamO yOgya jIva-s

Reference for the above:-

ParamAtma gives prEraNa to vAyu dEvaru, vAyu dEvaru gives prEraNa to tatvAbhimAni dEvata-s, tatvAbhimAni dEvata-s give prEraNa to the jIva in dEhagata iMdriya-s. This is the flow of kaRma kriya. The dEvata-s themselves provoke the daitya-s to perform pApa kaRma-s and fetches the resultant experience to the jIva.

prANa dEvaru i.e. jIvOttama vAyu dEvaru is the one who has unusual bravery / powers among jIva-s. He exists in the trividha jIva-s i.e. mukti yOgya jIva-s, nitya saMsAri-s and tamO yOgya jIva-s, does and provokes them to do all the kARya-s. He is called mukhya prANa and because he has the capability to perform all kARya-s, he is referred as 'pravINa'.

mukhya prANa,who is known as pravINa exists in the trividha jIva-s and does the shubha-ashubha-mishra kARya-s as per the orders of ParamAtma and makes the jIva-s do the same through the tatvAbhimAni dEvata-s via the sthUla dEhagata iMdriya-s and gets it to the experience of the jIva.

To the mukti yOgya jIva-s, he bestows good j~nAna and firm bhakti in ParamAtma and makes them perform sat-sAdhana and recommends to ParamAtma that such jIva-s be given a place in mukti dhAma-s like vaikuMTha etc…and give them nityAnaMda – leading to sadgati.

madhyama jIva-s who are nitya baddha (saMsAri-s) are made to perform mishra kaRma-s and he gives them mixed j~nAna (faith & doubt) and mixed bhakti and bestows them a mixture of sukha & duHkha – leading them to mishra gati.

The tamO yOgya daitya-s are made to demonstrate enmity towards ParamAtma and His bhakta-s, makes them perform sOhaM upAsana, gives them mithyA j~nAna and leads them nitya duHkha – leading to duRgati.

JagannAtha dAsa says that it is important that a sAdhaka hears this order of tAratamya from ramA, brahmAdi mukti yOgya chEtana-s until the lowest of the low kali – from a guru.

It will provide the sAdhaka with the correct knowledge of tAratamya. It then becomes clear that ParamAtma is saRvOttama and vAyu is jIvOttama and the jIva gets the clarity about the tAratamya about the crores of jIva-s. This is the ingredient for sAdhana for those jIva-s who look forward for mOxa.

This dEva-daitya tAratamya enables the jIva to realize that shrI laxmI ramaNa ParamAtma who is saRvOttama, exists in all the jIva-s as biMba and that He is the prEraka for all kARya-s. This facilitates the jIva firm up the thought of hari saRvOttamatva.

ParamAtma becomes happy and bestows His anugraha to the bhagavad bhakta-s who perform sEva with this understanding. He provides them sukha on earth and mukti at the end.

"AnaMda svarUpi ParamAtma i.e. JagannAtha viTThala ParamAtma who is praised by ramA dEvi, brahma dEvaru and all other dEvata-s would bestow His anugraha to sajjana-s who understand this", says JagannAtha dAsa.
