It is essential for every sAdhaka to have clear knowledge of paMcha bhEda, tAratamya, in order to obtain the anugraha of ParamAtma. Knowledge of tAratamya, starting from saRvOttama ParamAtma until the jIva in the blade of grass is important. In this saMdhi, JagannAtha dAsa revises what he has stated in the previous saMdhi-s.
The ever young, kAMti saMpanna, satvAbhimAni, shubhaprada laxmI dEvi is referred as 'shrI'. Her Husband is naturally called 'shrI ramaNa' since He is her niyAmaka.
ParamAtma does krIDa in chitprakR^iti nAmaka laxmI dEvi and performs sR^iShTi by way of differences in the guNa-s. laxmI dEvi is the upAdAna kAraNa. ParamAtma alone is the niyAmaka for all the vyApAra-s.
ParamAtma is Prabhu & niyAmaka for all the jaDa-s and jIva-s. prabhutva & niyAmakatva is the svarUpagata guNa of ParamAtma. He is therefore 'saRvEsha'.
saRvEsha exists in His svAkhya rasa rUpa in all things.
Q - What is svAkhya rasa?
Ans - rasAMtaRgata bhagavdrUpa-s are the svAkhya rasa-s (see HKAS_13-29).
He accepts the svAkhya rasa from all that is offered to Him – meaning - He does krIda in all the rasAMtaRgata bhagavad rUpa-s. This is svaramaNatva indeed. That is why He is referred as 'saRvaga sArabhOkta'. He is bhOkta (Acceptor) of the sAra (extract) of svAkhya rasa of all that is offered to Him.
He does all the kARya-s by Himself, without expecting anything from anyone and without any help from anyone. He is therefore called 'svataMtra'.
svAtaMtrya guNa is the svarUpa guNa of ParamAtma. Starting from laxmI dEvi, all jIva-s are under control of ParamAtma. Their kaRtR^itva shakti is under control of ParamAtma.
ParamAtma does not have an iota of dOSha. He is therefore dOSha vidUra.
ParamAtma has infinite virtuous qualities, does not have any dOSha-s, He is full of unusual j~nAna, AnaMda, bala, aishwaRya. He does not suffer from any shortage.
He is not seized by prakR^iti guNa-s of the satva, rajO & tamas. He is thus 'mUru guNa vaRjita'.
ParamAtma has aShTakaRtR^itva shakti by which He performs the following:-
1) creation (sR^iShTi) of the world
2) maintenance or protection (sthiti) of what is created
3) destruction (laya) of His own creation
4) regulation or control (niyamana) of all the jIva-s and jaDa-s
5) provides good knowledge (j~nAna) to His bhakta-s
6) gives ignorance (aj~nAna) to tamO yOgya daitya-s who are His enemies and the enemies of His bhakta-s
7) just for the sake of His lIla or pleasure He binds (baMdha) the svarUpa dEha with the liMga dEha of the jIva to enable the jIva to experience kaRma in this saMsAra i.e. the cycle of birth and death
8) at the time of praLaya, He releases (mOxa) the liMga dEha by way of kaRma vimOchana
He is the niyAmaka for all the jIva-s and jaDa-s. He is thus described as 'vishva sthiti layOdayakAraNa'
ParamAtma is very kind to His true bhakta-s. The sAtvika jIva-s obtain kaRma vimOchana by His grace and they then experience svarUpa sukha. He is thus described as 'kR^ipAsAMdra'.
kR^ipAsAMdra shrI laxmI narasiMha is the kula dEvaru of JagannAtha dAsa. JagannAtha dAsa prays to shrI laxmI narasiMha ParamAtma to protect sajjana-s.

nityamuktaLe = laxmI dEvi is nitya muktaLu as she does not have liMga dEha from anAdi kAla
niRvikAraLe = she does not suffer from any distortion due the prakR^iti guNa-s
nityasukhasaMpURNe = she enjoys svarUpa sukha from anAdi kAla
nityAnitya jagadAdhAre = supports nitya & anitya brahmAMDa
muktAmukta gaNavinute = praised by the mukta jIva-s and amukta jIva-s
shrIpurushOttamana = xarAxara uttamOttama ParamAtma's
vaxOnivAsinI = resides in His Heart
bhR^ityavatsale = has kindness towards those who have a servant-Lord feeling towards ParamAtma
trijaganmAte vikhyAte = mother for all jIva-s in the tri-jagat
chittayisu binnapava = please hear my request
kAye = protect us
nityamuktaLe – laxmI dEvi is the companion / consort of ParamAtma from anAdi kAla. Although all the other jIva-s are close to ParamAtma, they are bound by liMga dEha. laxmI dEvi is not affected by triguNa-s. She is not bound by the triguNAtmaka liMga dEha from anAdi kAla. She is thus not bound by kaRma-s and therefore she is nitya muktaLu. laxmI dEvi, who belongs to kaxa-2 is always under control of ParamAtma.
niRvikAraLe – prakR^iti is composed of triguNa-s. sR^iShTi is caused by difference in the guNa-s. The triguNa-s are the kAraNa and sR^iShTi is the kaRya. ParamAtma's ichCha is the prime cause of sR^iShTi. She is not affected by the triguNa-s. She is thus niRvikAraLu.
nityasukha saMpURNe – just like ParamAtma, she too has permanent svarupAnaMda. ParamAtma is the Provider of this AnaMda to her.
laxmI dEvi supports the muktAmukta jIva-s. jIva-s are nitya. maharAdi lOka-s, borders of brahmAMDa, prkR^ityAtmaka liMga dEha, ichCha are all anitya. prakR^iti would get dissolved into in laya. guNa vaiShamya leads to sR^iSTti and guNa sAmya leads to laya.
However, ParamAtma is mUlAdhAra for this entire jagat.
muktAmuktagaNa vinute – Here we must understand that there are 2 types of sAdhaka-s:-
1) Those who arrive into sR^iShTi and perform sAdhana according to the prEraNa of ParamAtma and return to the Belly of ParamAtma with liMga (saliMga). They not yet obtained mukti.
2) Those who come into sR^iShTi, perform sAdhana and later after their bath in virajA river obtain liMga bhaMga and obtain mukti.
Since laxmI dEvi is well worshipped by all jIva-s who have obtained mukti and those who have not obtained mukti, therefore, laxmI dEvi is described as 'muktAmukta gaNa vinute'.
JagannAtha dAsa requests / prays to laxmI dEvi, who is the mother of tri-jagat to protect us all.
saRvOttama ParamAtma is worshipped by xarAxara jIva-s. To appreciate this aspect please refer HKAS_03-01.
ParamAtma is thus purushOttama. laxmI dEvi has the honor of residing in His Heart. She is therefore described as 'shrIpurushOttamana vaxOnivAsinI'.
laxmI dEvi shows kindness towards all jIva-s those who have a servant-Lord feeling towards ParamAtma. She is thus called 'bhR^ityavatsale'.
bhU lOka, pAtALa lOka and svaRga lOka are collectively called as trilOka-s. She is the mother of this jagat. ParamAtma is sR^iShTi kaRta and He is the Creator of this jagat. ParamAtma uses chitprakR^iti nAmaka laxmI dEvi as upAdAna and by way of guNa vaishamya He does sR^iShTi kARya. laxmI dEvi is therefore the mother of this jagat.

There are infinite brahmAMDa-s hidden in every Hair of the sharIra of virADrUpi ParamAtma. During sR^iShTi, He creates / activates one brahmAMDa, protects all jIva-s therein and finally bestows them their deserved destination. This is His kindness.
laxmI dEvi is astonished to see His rUpa-s in the infinite brahmAMDa-s in the Hairs of ParamAtma. She is happy to see the infinite rUpa-s of ParamAtma in each Hair.
puruSha nAmaka ParamAtma is virADrUpi. She is happy to see such mahima saMpanna ParamAtma.
She constantly sees the guNa-s of laxmyAMtaRgata biMba rUpi ParamAtma but she does not sufficiently understand the same. She sees newer guNa-s every moment. She is nitya muktaLu but she dreams about His guNa-s and she remains inseparable from her. If this is her state, then what could be the state of other jIva-s.
tAmarasa – means lotus flower, tAmarasaja – means brahma dEvaru, who was born in the Lotus Flower emanating from the Navel of ParamAtma.
She is happy to see the infinite rUpa-s ParamAtma in the infinite brahmAMDa-s that are in the Hairs of ParamAtma.
laxmI dEvi is parama maMgaLa svarUpi, satva guNAbhimAni, ever radiant, ever young, niRvikAraLu, shrI shabda vAchyaLu and consort of ParamAtma. Therefore, she is described as 'shrImahiLe'.
shrImahiLe is fortunate to constantly serve the Lotus Feet of ParamAtma, who displays new guNa-s & rUpa-s everytime, who is EkamEvAdvitiya and is worshipped by xarAxara jIva-s. She does not sufficiently understand His guNa-s, kriya-s and is unable to imagine the extent of His vyApti in this jagat.
She constantly wonders by herself, "Oh my Prabhu, who is my niyAmaka how much more does there exist of your mahA mahime (excellence / greatness)." And she is astonished at His vyApApara-s.

According to comments from saMkaRShaNa oDeyar, this stanza continues to praise laxmI dEvi. However, other commentators say that this stanza is in praise of brahma dEvaru.
Considering all commentaries, we could take this stanza to be in praise of either laxmI dEvi or brahma dEvaru.
In one Hair on the sharIra of virADrUpi ParamAtma, which is full of unusual j~nAna, AnaMda, there are infinite brahmAMDa-s. In one of these brahmAMDa-s, in the sharIra of vishvarUpa of ParamAtma which has all Body parts, she / he meditates on one of the guNa-s out of the infinite guNa-s in the tip of the Nail of His Finger that exist there. They see these by upAsana but are unable to sufficiently realize the same nor are they able to find the beginning or the end of the same
With folded hands & bhakti they pay obeisance to laxmIpati shrIman nArAyaNa with flowing tears of happiness and they remain expressionless by the fact that His infinite mahime is immeasurable.

In this stanza, JagannAtha dAsa praises jIvOttama brahma dEvaru & vAyu dEvaru.
mukhya prANa is referred as 'pavamAna'. mukhya prANa has satva prAchURya sharIra. He is atirOhita vimala vij~nAni. Even during mahA praLaya, he would not have j~nAna tirOdhAna.
chatuRmukha brahma is jIvOttama and is the king of R^iju-s. JagannAtha dAsa exclaims that brahma dEvaru & vAyu dEvaru are so fortunate that these two dEvata-s (IRvaru) constantly meditate on the sakala dOSha rahita rUpa (vimala) and the beauty of ParamAtma (ramAnivAsa) with bhakti (sAnurAgadi) and enjoy the seeing His rUpa all the time. That's how they are fortunate indeed.
bhavAnidhava – means R^idra dEvaru (bhavAni – means pARvatI dEvi, dhava – means husband), who is the ahaMkAra tatvAbhimAni dEvata & manObhimAni dEvata. Even R^idra dEvaru cannot sufficiently describe the fortune / happiness of brahma dEvaru & vAyu dEvaru. 'What could then be the state of mortals like us?' asks JagannAtha dAsa.

>From among the several jIva-s that are there in asR^ijya state,
ParamAtma brings 200 R^iju-s into sR^ishTi. Only one R^iju among them (let us say he is the top ranker) would start his process of sAdhana. He would continue his sAdhana for 100 brahma kalpa-s and would then be known as 'kalki'.
'kalki' – is the title that a R^iju obtains in the 101st kalpa after performing sAdhana for 100 kalpa-s. The same R^iju (kalki) would obtain different titles in different kalpa-s as he progresses on his path of sadhana for the next 100 kalpa-s. There are 100 pleasant names by which they are identified. Refer HKAS_23 – 22 to 27. The R^iju in the 100th kalpa would be called 'shatAnaMda' which is the title of 'brahma dEvaru' (pitAmaha). The current vAyu dEvaru is in the 99th kalpa of sAdhana. His previous position was 'lAtavya'. In this way 'kalki' is the 1st title of the R^iju.
chatuRmukha brahma of the current brahma kalpa, after bath in the virajA river obtains liMga bhaMga and obtains mukti. liMga dEha for brahma dEvaru is oupachArika (just for the sake of it). brahma, vAyu and other R^iju-s are not bound by kaRma. The kaRma related liMga dEha connection to them is oupachArika or like 'dagdhapaTa' i.e. like the ash of a burnt cloth. All the R^iju-s are siddha sAdhaka-s. They do everything just to please viShNu ParamAtma.
At the end of the current kalpa, vAyu dEvaru enters the Belly with liMga dEha i.e. 'saliMga' During mahApraLaya he does not suffer j~nAnAtirOdhAna. He is atirOhita vimala vij~nAni. In the next kalpa, the current vAyu dEvaru would be born as chatuRmukha brahma in the Lotus Flower that would emanate from the Navel of ParamAtma. Therefore, the present vAyu dEvaru is the future chatuRmukha brahma.
In the 99th kalpa, vAyu dEvaru constantly meditates on the guNa-s of laxmIpati ParamAtma, by pervading in the sthUla dEha of the jIva-s and performs 21600 shvAsa japa-s and he enables life span of the sthUla dEha for a 100 years. A short life span would complete this faster and a long span would do it at the specified rate.
mukhya prAna, who is the future brahma dEvaru, took avatAra as hanumaMta in aMjanA dEvi in trEtA yuga and served Lord rAma.
In dvApara yuga, he took avatAra as son of pAMDu rAja and kuMti and killed daitya-s like jarAsaMdha and others and served shrI kR^iShNa.
In kali yuga, he took avatAra as madhvAchARya in pAjaka xEtra a the son of madhyagEbhaTTa, torpedoed mata-s, their leaders and their followers who were tamO yOgya mAyAvAdi-s and established 'harimata' i.e. ParamAtma is supreme etc… see HKAS_23-01 for more details, and thus earned the anugraha of vEdavyAsa dEvaru.
vAyu dEvaru, who has taken avatAra as hanuma, bhIma and madhva and served ParamAtma and is recognized as bhagavat kaRya sAdhaka, would be born in the next kalpa in the Lotus Flower emanating from the Navel of ParamAtma and obtain the title of chatuRmukha brahma.
JagannAtha dAsa pays obeisance with bhakti to the current vAyu dEvaru, who is the future brahma dEvaru.

In this stanza, JagannAtha dAsa sings in praise of saraswatI dEvi and bhAratI dEvi.
shwEta dvIpagata vAsudEva is mOxa Giver. vAsudEva is the upAsana mURti of saraswatI dEvi and bhAratI dEvi.
saraswatI & bhAratI see ParamAtma in their lotus hearts like the luminance of chaMdra and praise their biMba mURti vAsudEva ParamAtma.
JagannAtha dAsa says that he constantly pays obeisance to saraswatI dEvi and bhAratI dEvi and rays them to bestow suj~nAna and firm niShkAma bhakti respectively in ParamAtma.

JagannAtha dAsa, now says in praise of ahaMkAra tatvAbhimAni dEvata i.e. garuDa dEvaru.
kAla nAmaka garuDa dEvaru is vaikArika tatvAbhimAni dEvata, chittAbhimAni dEvata and the vehicle for ParamAtma.
ParamAtma is called 'jagadudara' because He holds infinite number of brahmAMDa-s in His Belly during mahApraLaya.
jagadudara is superior to all dEvata-s and is therefore referred as surOttama or saRvOttama.
Since ParamAtma travels on the shoulders of garuDa, ParamAtma is referred as garuDa vAhana.
Since ParamAtma is seated on the shoulders of garuDa and His two Feet are resting on the palms of garuDa, he is unable to see ParamAtma or have His daRshana directly. However, garuDa sees the line of shining Nails on the Feet of ParamAtma and the reflection of ParamAtma in those Nails and gets happiness of the same.
kR^iShNa ParamAtma, who held the govaRdhana paRvata on His little Finger and protected gOkula is jagadudara indeed. kURmAvatAri ParamAtma who held the maMdAra paRvata on His back during samudra mathana is 'nagadhara'.
garuDa, who is the king of birds, sees the reflection of such nagadhara in the reflection of His Nails, praises Him and enjoys happiness.

ParamAtma is not sufficiently visible to such yOgi-s. Thus, none can perform the upAsana of His infinite virtuous qualities.
nigama-s are the fund of books/words which describe the infinite virtuous qualities, rUpa-s, kriya-s of ParamAtma. ParamAtma is thus described as nigama pratipAdya. Since He is praised well be laxmI dEvi who is the vEdAbhimAni too, ParamAtma is described as 'nigamAgamaikavinuta'.
shESha dEvaru sings the praises of nigama pratipAdya ParamAtma with his 2000 thousand tongues. shESha dEvaru has a 1000 hoods and each of them have 2 tongues (split tongue). He thus has the fortune of praising ParamAtma with his 2000 tongues.
ParamAtma pervades in bhU lOka, URdhva lOka & adhO lOka, which are all part of the 14 lOka-s of this brahmAMDa.
The mahApraLaya kAla is the rest time for the all pervading ParamAtma, which can be described as the state of 'yOga nidra' for ParamAtma. This is just oupachArika. ParamAtma, who is unreachable by the yOgi-s, rests on shESha dEvaru. Since shESha dEvaru serves ParamAtma in His state of 'yOga nidra', shESha dEvaru is called 'yOganidrAspda'.
shESha dEvaru is the guide to iMdrAdi dEvata-s and their niyAmaka. That is why he is described as 'guru nAgarAja'. 'nAga' – meaning snakes, rAja – means adhipati, nAgarAja – king of snakes. JagannAtha dAsa pays obeisance with bhakti at the feet of shESha dEvaru. shESha dEvaru was born to brahma dEvaru. shESha dEvaru is the prEraka for buddhi.

mahaR^idra dEvaru always decorates himself with a snake, which has a broad hood.
The hood of the snake acts as crown for R^idra.
R^idra dEvaru holds a Damaru (rattle drum) in his hand. The reverberation of the rattle drum fills all around the place during praLaya kAla.
R^idra dEvaru who has 3 eyes, is tridaLAtmaka ahaMkAra tatvAbhimAni dEvata and he holds the trishUla in his hand.
R^idra has agni in his 3rd eye on the forehead. dinamaNi i.e. dinAbhimAni sURya resides in his right eye and nishAkara i.e. chaMdra resides in his left eye. Thus the right and left eyes of R^idra has the radiance of sURya ans chaMdra respectively.
The sharIra of R^idra dEvaru is purified because he has received the gaMgA river on his head. R^idra dEvaru is described as praNata kAmada because he fulfills the desires of his devotees.
R^idra dEvaru bestows tailadhAreyaMte bhakti in ParamAtma to the sAtvika jIva-s who look forward for mOxa, fulfills the desires of rajO jIva-s (nitya saMsAri-s), bestows the desired boons to the tamO yOgya daitya-s leading them to destruction from hari-vAyu.
The family of R^idra is pramatha gaNa. The bhUta & pishAcha-s belong to this gaNa. R^idra dEvaru indicates laya kARya. These bhUtagaNa-s destroyed the yAga of daxaprajApati by the order of R^idra.
R^idra dEvaru is praised by iMdrAdi dEvata-s and all the muni-s. That is why he is described as 'praNatakAmada pramatha suramuni gaNasupUjita charaNayuga'.
Once, rAvaNa became so proud that he tried to lift the kailAsa paRvata (the abode of R^idra dEvaru) with the strength of his 20 hands. At that time, R^idra dEvaru just pressed the paRvata with his toe and rAvaNa's hand were stuck under this mountain. rAvaNa then asked R^idra to pardon him. That is how R^idra is called 'rAvaNamada vibhaMjana'.
JagannAtha dAsa prays to R^idra dEvaru to bestow j~nAna, bhakti & vairAgya on us and protect us.

JagannAtha dAsa continues to praise R^idra dEvaru.
Why is R^idra called daxayaj~na vibhaMjanane?
Answer: - While performing vAjapEya yaj~na, daxaprajApati had invited several R^iShi-s & dEvata-s but he did not invite his daughter satI dEvi and son-in-law R^idra dEvaru. However, sati dEvi went there uninvited. She was not a welcome guest at the yaj~na shAla. But when she came there she found that daxaprajApati did not care to offer Ahuti (oblation) to R^idra. This was an unbearable insult for satI dEvi. Therefore, satI dEvi abused her father in several ways and laid down her life there itself. Then, R^idra took avatAra as vIrabhadra, destroyed the yaj~na and cut off the head of daxa and offered it as oblation to agni. Then brahma dEvaru arrived there and passified R^idra and requested him to bring daxaprajApati back to life. Then R^idra brought the head of a sheep and brought daxaprajApati back to life. That is how R^idra dEvaru is called 'daxayaj~navibhaMjana'
All dEvata-s have 2 eyes, whereas R^idra dEvaru has 3 eyes. He is therefore called virupAxa (virUpa + axa) – having 3 eyes.
shaMkara who is an ascetic himself, is abhimAni for virAgya.
kubEra is the adhipati for yaxa-s. R^idra dEvaru is the friend (yaxapatisakha) of yaxapati kubEra.
Those who perform Aradhana of R^idra dEvaru are called 'yajaparu'. He is like kalpavR^ixa to them as he bestows all that they ask for.
vR^ikAsura was bhasmAsura indeed. bhasmAsura was a wicked and greedy daitya, who wanted to become a powerful king. But he was neither brave nor strong. So he wanted to obtain some magical powers to fulfill his wish. He decided to worship shiva to ask for such powers. He went to a dense jungle and started praying to shiva. Pleased with his penance, shiva appeared before him and told him to ask for a boon. bhasmAsura replied, "My Lord, let me have the power, so that if I touch anybody's head with my right hand, that person should be reduced to ashes." shiva replied, "May that be so."
Having been granted this power, bhasmAsura tried to test his power on shiva himself. He jumped up and tried to touch shiva's head with his right hand. Sensing danger, shiva ran for his life and requested Lord VishNu to help him.
Lord VishNu immediately came to shiva's rescue. He changed His form into that of a beautiful Woman called mOhini and appeared before bhasmAsura.
mOhini distracted him by fixing Her lovely Eyes on him and mOhini's beauty captivated bhasmasura. He offered to marry Her. But She refused his offer saying that She would marry him only on one condition that he should swear not to have any more wives besides Her. Immediately bhasmasura put his right hand on his head, to swear. He was soon reduced to ashes by the power of the boon that was granted to him by shiva.
R^idra dEvaru is the manO niyAmaka. He is vaiShNavOttama himself and can make our manas concentrate on the Lotus Feet of viShNu ParamAtma. R^idra is referred as lOkAdhyaxa.
R^idra took avatAra as shukAchARya - as the son of vEdavyAsa dEvaru. shukAchARya received his lessons on shrImad bhAgavatam from vEdavyAsa dEvaru and narrated the same to parIxita rAja and led him to mOxa.
R^idra was pleased by the penance of atri R^iShi and R^idra took avatAra as dURvAsa in atri & anusUyA dEvi.
jagIShavya is another avatAra of R^idra. jaMbuvati received her upadEsha in his avatAra as jaigIshavya.
JagannAtha dAsa prays to R^idra dEvaru to protect us.

Previously, R^idra dEvaru had performed penance for 10 dina kalpa-s in sea water (kalpa – refers to dina kalpa as stated in anuvyAkhyAna graMtha of shrimadAchARya) and obtained his current title of R^idra.
Thus for 40 dina kalpa-s he did studied vAyu and then tapas for 10 dina kalpa-s under sea water. mahaR^idra dEvaru is therefore called 'ugratapa'.
Since he obtained the anugraha of his upAsya mURti saMkaRShaNa nAmaka ParamAtma, he is refered as 'kR^ita kR^ityanAgi'.
After coming to the seat R^idra, he created mOha shAstra-s as per the orders of ParamAtma. Thus R^idra gave prEraNa to daitya-s in their manas as niyAmaka - that shiva is supreme and this became the reason for the duRgati of daitya-s.
The tamO yOgya daitya-s who study these mOhaka shAstra-s, understand that shiva is supreme and perform his upAsana would ultimately lead to aMdhatamassu described as 'nityaniraya nivAsa' – nitya –permanent, nivAsa – residence, niraya – aMdhaMtamassu.
R^idra wears the skin of tiger and elephant as his clothes. He is the future shESha dEvaru. JagannAtha dAsa pays obeisance to him.

The ShaNmahiShi-s had the fortune of having the anugraha of ParamAtma who holds the shaMkha in His Hand. These beauties (nitaMbiniyaru) had His affectionate love.
The ShaNmahiShi-s are nIlA, bhadrA, mitraviMdA, kAliMdI, laxaNA and jAMbavati.
1) nIlA dEvi
Formerly, she was the daughter of kAvyabAla. From her young days itself, she had the desire to be married to shrI kR^iShNa. To achieve this she did penance in shESha paRvata. ParamAtma granted her this boon – that he would marry her during kR^iShNAvatAra. During dvApara yuga, nIlA was born to kuMbhaka (brother-in-law) of naMdagOpa. nagnajita rAja of kOsala arranged for her svayaMvara. There were 7 daitya-s in the form of bulls, who were troubling sajjana-s of that time. nagnajita rAja said that he would marry off his daughter nIlA to that person who would bind these bulls. Many kings came forward to do the same, but they failed in their attempt. shrI kR^iShNa of yadukula bound all these bulls in a single attempt. nIlA put the garland around the neck of shrI kR^iShNa. Thus nIlA became one of His shaNmahiShi-s.
2) bhadrA dEvi
She was fortified with sadguNa-s. Therefore, she is known as bhadrA. She was born to shrutakIRti (aunt of kR^iShNa) and dR^iShTakEtu who was the king of kEkEya. From her young days, she was requesting her parents that she be married to shrI kR^iShNa. shrI kR^iShNa agreed to the request of shrutakIRti and married bhadrA dEvi. She was gifted with 10 sons saMgrAmajit, bR^ihatsEna, shUra, praharaNa, aMjata, jaya, subhadra, vApi, Ayu & mukti satyaka and one daughter.
3) mitraviMdA dEvi (she was previously sakhaviMda)
Previously, she (sakhaviMda) was the daughter of king agnipvAt. She was performing satkaRma-s like listening to purANa-s and perfoming tapas, in order to be a friendly devotee of ParamAtma and she died. In dvApara yuga, she was born as mitraviMdA to king jayatsEna of avaMtI country and his wife rAjAdhi dEvi. rAjAdhi dEvi was one of the sisters of vasudEva (father of kR^iShNa). Since she had the accumulated puNya of listening to purANa-s, she had the fortune of being one of the shaNmahiShi-s of kR^iShNa. She was gifted with 10 sons – vR^ixa, haRSha, anila, gR^itha, vaRdhana, unmade,mahasha, pAvana, vanhi & xudhi
4) kAliMdI dEvi
Previously she was the daughter of vivasvAn nAmaka sURya and was later born as the younger sister of yamuna.
Reference:
"vivasvAn nAma sURyOObhUttasya putrIvyajAyita kAlaMdI saMj~nAkAMvIMdra yamunA anujAsmR^itA"
She desired to marry shrI kR^iShNa and none other. Therefore, she always engrossed herself in hari nAma smaraNE and while she was doing severe penance, she was seen by aRjuna. She told aRjuna her secret wish of marrying shrI kR^iShNa. As per the request of aRjuna, shrI kR^iShNa married kALiMdI and accepted her as one on His ShaNmahiShi-s.
She was gifted with 10 sons - shruta, kavi, vR^iSha, vIra, subAhu, bhadra, shAMti, daRsha, pURNamAsa & sOmaka.
5) laxaNa
She was the daughter of baRhiShTatu rAja. Since she was endowed with good laxaNa-s, she was named 'laxaNa'. She was gifted with 27 laxaNa-s. She always used to meditate on the saRvaguNa saMpURNa ParamAtma and decorate His idols excellently and offer, milk and butter to ParamAtma as naivEdya. She died while she was nurturing the thought of marrying shrI kR^iShNa. During dvApara yuga she was born as daughter of madra rAja. madra rAja arranged for the svayaMvara by arranging for huge bow to be used and shoot arrows and the winner of this competition would marry laxaNa. shrI kR^iShNa won very easily and laxaNa became one of his ShaNmahiShi-s.
She was gifted with 8 sons – praghOSha, gAtravaMta, siMhabala, prabala, URdhvaga, mahAshakti, sahajada and a daughter called aparichita.
6) jAMbavatI dEvi
Previously she was sOma putri. From her childhood she was unattached to earthly matters. She used offered all her iMdriya kriya-s at the Lotus Feet of ParamAtma. After attaining the daRshana of the Lotus Feet of ParamAtma, she praised the ParamAtma from Toe to Head (ApAdamouLipaRyaMta). She received her j~nAna from jaigIShavya muni (R^idra avatAra).
jAMbavatI dEvi is most important among the shaNmahiShi-s. jAMbavatI is the adopted daughter of bhallUka rAja jAMbavaMta. When samaMtaka maNi was lost and it was to be located, kR^iShNa entered the cave and fought with him. bhallUka rAja fought well and finally kR^iShNa showed him His rAma rUpa. jAMbavaMta offered his obeisance to kR^iShNa and offered jAMbavatI in marriage to kR^iShNa. jAMbavatI had a higher degree laxmI AvESha in terms of beauty, youth & radiance than the other 5 of the ShaNmahiShi-s.
During samudramathana (amR^itamathana), ParamAtma took the form of dhanvaMtrI and rose from the sea bed holding amR^ita (nectar) in a golden vessel. By His mAya drops of Tears fell from His eyes into the vessel of nectar. At that time jAMbavatI was born as tuLasI. She was jAMbavatI indeed. She received her j~nAna from R^idra in his jaigIShavya rUpa.
jAMbavatI had 10 sons sAMba, sumitra, purujita, shujita, sahasrajita,
vijaya, pitR^ixEma, vasumAna, drAviDa & krama and one daughter.
JagannAtha dAsa pays obeisance to all of them by requesting them to reside in the space of our heart and bestow aparOxa j~nAna to us.

paraMtapa – means to trouble the daitya-s. That is why ParamAtma is called 'paraMtapa'. soupaRNI, vAruNI & pARvatI had the anugraha of paraMtapa nAmaka ParamAtma. These dEvata-s belong to kaxa-7.
soupaRNI (garUDa patni), vAruNI (shESha patni) & pARvatI (R^idra patni) obtained bhagavad aparOxa by way of learning about the guNA-s, rUpa-s and kriya-s of ParamAtma directly from their husbands and meditating on the same.
JagannAtha dAsa says that he is praising these 3 dEvata-s according to his yOgyata and requests them not to count his (sajjana's) mistakes but bestow nityAnaMda mOxa to the sajjanna-s.

tridiva – means svaRga, taru – means tree. Thus tridivataru – means the tree in svaRga lOka i.e. kalpa vR^ixa. maNi is the chiMtAmaNi. dhEnu – means kAmadhEnu (cow).
kalpavR^ixa is sthAvara jIva, chiMtamaNi is jaDa vastu and kAmadhEu is jaMgama jIva. These were obtained as a result of samudra maMthana. shrI viShNu ParamAtma gave all these to surAdhipati dEvEMdra to be kept in svaRga lOka.
The dEvata-s reside in svaRga lOka. kalpavR^ixa, chiMtAmaNi & kAmadhEnu bestows all the requirements of the residents of svaRga.
ParamAtma took vAmanAvatAra via kashyapa muni & aditi during abhijit muhuRta. vAmana nAmaka ParamAtma shattered the hopes of bali chakravaRtI of obtaining the title of iMdra by arriving at the yaj~na shAla of bali chakravaRtI and asking him to donate 3 feet of land. The rest of the story has been narrated several times earlier. vAmana rUpi took away the title of iMdra and ruled svaRga as upEMdra and the happiness of the residents of svaRga is just like the rising froth of the sea during chaMdrOdaya.
The cuckoo sits on trees during vasaMta R^itu and sings pleasant tunes and makes us happy. vasaMta R^itu is called 'madhusamaya' because the atmosphere is pleasant around. Nature blooms during vasaMta R^itu, the plants flower around and we get pleasant aroma of flowers all around. The cuckoo bird sings pleasant tunes around this time by sitting on trees.
iMdra dEvaru praises upEMdra nAmaka ParamAtma with a pleasant voice, just like that of a cuckoo.
mudira – means clouds. iMdra gives rains via paRjanya dEvata-s. These paRjanya-s are clouds. iMdra has clouds as his vehicle. He is therefore called mEghavAhana (mudiravAhana).
JagannAtha dAsa pays humble obeisance to the feet of shachipati dEvEMdra.

mUla rUpi nArAyaNa has 4 other rUpa-s which are not different from His original rUpa. They are – vAsudEva, saMkaRShaNa, pradyumna & aniruddha.
While ParamAtma takes the rUpa of pradyumna, laxmI dEvi takes the form of kR^iti dEvi. Therefore, pradyumna nAmaka ParamAtma is described as 'kR^itiramaNa'.
pradyumna nAmaka ParamAtma is the upAsana mURti of manmatha.
kEtumAlAkhaMDa – is a continent / place lying between mAlya paRvata and lavaNa samudra. This is place known for providing sukha bhOga to puNyavaMta-s and is a very pure place. This is to the west of jaMbUdvIpa. manmatha resides in kEtumAlakhaMDa and he constantly meditates and praises the strength, beauty and the infinite virtuous qualities of pradyumna rUpi ParamAtma. This is how manmatha is known to be very handsome.
ratI dEvi is the wife of manmatha. ratI dEvi is one of the daughters of daxaprajAti. Since he steals the manas of ratI dEvi by his (manmatha's) handsome looks, manmatha is described as 'ratimanOhara'. JagannAtha dAsa pays obeisance to the lotus feet of ratimanOhara.
iMdra & kAma belong to the same kaxa-8. But manmatha is slightly lower than iMdra by level. He is manObhimAni and provides all that we desire. Therefore, JagannAtha dAsa prays to mInakEtanatanaya,who resides in kEtumAlAkhaMDa to remove our wrong thoughts and provide us the right j~nAna.

Hearing the glories of Lord Vishnu, chanting His names with the right attitude, thinking of His nature & His supremacy, serving His devotees, worshipping the Lord, prostrating at the Lord's feet, realizing His supremacy & serving Him, treating Him as your friend, & totally surrendering to Him & realising the fact that the Lord is the inner strength of all beings in both the worlds--here as well as after salvation 'iha & para' are the different aspects of Bhakthi. Listening to His stories creates awareness, which becomes the part & parcel of the epitome of Bhakthi. According to Prahalada, developing these nine types of devotion (Shravana, Kirtana, Smarana, Padasevena, Archana, Vandana, Dasya, Sakhyam, Atmanivedanam) to the Lord Vishnu is the best lesson learnt by him. The innate devotion though latent in ones heart has to be kindled by listening to the glories of the Lord incessantly.

[Devotion to Lord] (bhakthi) is the invariable & continuous flow of ardent affection to God, undettered by varied frustrations in life, [excelling the attachment to self, our kindred & other lovable assets] (vairagya), reinforced by [sound knowledge] (jnAna) & solid conviction of His glory & greatness, as the sole independent Power, the abode of all auspicious attributes, free from foibles. As such, it differs from blind belief & selfish live. It should be founded on an unshakable intellectual & emotional conviction in the Majesty of the Lord- as the embodiment of all spiritual excellences.
>From Srimad Bhagawad Gita (The song Olympian) by Sri G V Nadgauda.
Devotion to the Lord is that continuously surging flood of deep love & attachment to the Lord of the Universe, which is impregnable by any amount of obstacles encountered in its march. It should be of such a quality & texture as would transcend all other forms of love which one may bear towards one's own self, or to his nearest & dearest ones in life, or to his most cherished possessions. It should be founded on an unshakable intellectual & emotional conviction in the Majesty of the Lord- as the embodiment of all spiritual excellences. (B.N.K. Sharma's explaination)

In this stanza, JagannAtha dAsa praises ratI dEvi, svayaMbhu manu, daxa prajApati, bR^ihaspatyAchARya, shachI dEvi & aniruddha (son of kAma)
ParamAtma pervades everywhere, in every ray and every atom. He is therefore called 'vitata'.
The all pervading (vitata) ParamAtma has tremendous mahime, which is unusual, infinite. He is therefore 'vitatamahima'.
He pervades at all places and all times with His Feet and Hands, Face etc… He is therefore 'saRvatOmukha'.
saRvatOmukha ParamAtma has unusual strength and is therefore called 'atuLa bhujabala'. He is like the kalpavR^ixa for all sajjana-s and He fulfills the desires of His bhakta-s according to their yOgyata.
ratI dEvi and dEvata-s mentioned below praise the guNa-s of ParamAtma and by His anugraha obtain all that they desire.
ratI dEvi – is the daughter of daxaprajApati and wife of manmatha. She belongs to kaxa-9 and fulfils the bhOga desires of all women.
svayaMbhu manu – one among the 14 manu-s. He is manvaMtarAdhipati. gudEMdriyAbhimAni, i.e. one of the tatvAbhimAni dEvata-s.
daxaprajApati – is the son of brahma dEvaru. satI dEvi was the was his daughter, who was married to R^idra dEvaru. She immolated herself at the yaj~na of daxaprajApati for the insult caused by daxa of notoffering oblations to R^idra. R^idra spoilt his yaj~na. The rest of the story is well known from several previous discussions in HKAS series.. daxaprajApati is hastAbhimAni.
vAchaspati mahaRShi is bR^ihaspatyAchARya. He is the guru for sura-s and he is the son of aMgira muni. His wife was tArA dEvi. chaMdra received his curse on account of guru patni gamana. budha was born to chaMdra and tArA dEvi. He has 6 sons and svAhA as his daughter. svAha was married to agni. His elder brother was the famous uchchitthya muni.
iMdra dEvaru is also called biDoujana. shachI dEvi is his wife. shachI dEvi was the daughter of pulOma daitya. She was therefore called pulOmi. jayaMta was her eldest son (pAdAbhimAni), while sahuSha desired the companionship of shachi during his rule as iMdra. He was cursed by agastya muni and became a snake. He is manObhimAni dEvata.
aniruddha – is the son of manmatha. Why? pradyumna, who was the son of shrI kR^iShNa was blessed with a son called aniruddha. pradyumna is the avatAra of manmatha. ushA dEvi (daughter of bANAsura) is the wife of aniruddha.
JagannAtha dAsa humbly prays to ratI dEvi, svayaMbhu manu, daxaprajApati , bR^ihasptayAchaRya, shachI dEvi & aniruddha and seeks their blessings.

brahma dEvaru created samakAdi muni-s. He ordered him to procreate progenies. He could not do this as he was a committed brahmachAri.
Therefore, brahma dEvaru dEvaru created a puruSha (man) i.e. svayaMbhu manu from his right side and strI (woman) i.e. shatarUpa dEvi from his left side.They were then ordered to be married by brahma dEvaru. They obtained 2 sons called priyavratra & uttAnapAda and 3 daughters called akUti, dEvahUti & prasUti.
This is what JagannAtha dAsa describes as 'janaranuddharisuvenenuta' – in order to procreate, 'nijajanakananumatadali' – by his fathers orders, 'svayaMbhuva
manuviniMdali' – by svayaMbhu & shatarUpa, 'paDade sukumArakaranolumeyali' – obtained 2 sons and 3 daughters.
JagannAtha dAsa prays to such shatarUpa dEvi to bestows maMgaLa (goodness) to us.
JagannAtha dAsa prays from his manas, speech and actions and requests shatarUpa dEvi to bestow maMgaLa to sajjana-s.

JagannAtha dAsa now praise yama dEvaru in this stanza.
During svayaMbhu manvaMtara, yama dhaRma rAya who was married to mURti (daughter of daxa prajApati) obtained 2 sons i.e. nara being elder & nArAyaNa being younger. These two were the rUpa-s of mahA viShNu and were born (as avatAra) to yama.
Previously, a daitya called sahasra kavacha performed penance of brahma dEvaru for 1000 years and obtained a 1000 kavacha-s (protective cover) boon that he may not be killed by anyone. While nara & nArAyaNa were performing penance, sahasra kavacha went for a fight with them. While nara was fighting with sahasra kavacha, nArAyaNa used to for penance and while nArAyaNa was fighting with sahasra kavacha, nara used to go for penance. In this way, nara & nArAyaNa destroyed 999 kavacha-s of the daitya. Then, sahasra kavacha was killed in a fight with them. Then, he was born (avatAra) as kaRNa. At that time nara & nArAyaNa were born as aRjuna & kR^iShNa. kR^iShNa managed to take away the only one kavacha that kaRNa had and kaRNa was killed by aRjuna.
Once, while nara – nArAyaNa were in penance, iMdra sent several apasara strI-s to disturb their tapas. At that time nArAyaNa scratched his thigh and created - the most beautiful woman in the world. Since she was born from the Thigh (Uru – thigh), she was called URvashI. The apsara strI-s went back as they felt ashamed of her beauty.
yama dhaRma rAya who belongs to kaxa-12, has the anugraha of the 4 bhagavad rUpa-s i.e. nara rUpa (bhinnAMsha shEShAMsha nara rUpa), nArAyaNa rUpa, hari rUpa & kR^iShNa rUpa (these 3 rUpa-s are sAxAt ParamAtma avatAra)
Reference from SB
"dhaRmasya daxaduhitaRyajani svamURtyA nArAyaNO nara iti svatapaHprabhAvaH"--------------------------------------------------------SB_2-7-6
Gist:- yama dhaRma & mURti (daughter of daxa prajApati) obtained nara & nArAyaNa as their sons (avatAra rUpa)
Referring to "udapAdi dhaRmatanayO hyayaM hariH svayamEvayasya sahajO vyajAyata" – sumadhva vijaya saRga-8, we find that hari & kR^ishNa are the 2 avatAra-s in yama.
We must know that kR^iShNa (son of vAsudEva & dEvaki) is different from the kR^iShNa (son of yama). This is referred in MBTN as below:-
matsyakUrmavarAhashcha siMhavAmabhARgavAH rAghavaH kR^iShNabiddhou cha kR^iShNadvaipayanastathA ------MBTN_2-24
kapilO datta R^iShabhou shiMshumarO ruchEH suta nArAyaNO hariH kR^iShNatApasO manurEva cha--------------------MBTN_2-25
Gist – The sAxAt avatAra-s of matsya, kURma, varAha, narasiMha, vAmana, parashurAma, rAghava, kR^iShNa, buddha & vEdavyAsa are dashAvatAra-s where kR^iShNa avatAra is mentioned once and in the following stanza 'hariH kR^iShNa" is mentioned for the 2nd time.
Thus, there are 2 kR^iShNa avatAra-s.
The 4 sons of yama i.e. nara, nArayaNa, hari & kR^iShNa are like the chatuRvidha puruShARtha-s i.e. dhaRma, aRtha, kAma & mOxa.
yama dhaRma rAya is equal to vivasvAn sURya (taraNi), chaMdra (shashi) & shata rUpa dEvi (wife of svayaMbhu manu). yama is the authority for punishing those who perform pApa kaRma –according to the pApa performed by them and he bestows protection & respect to sajjana-a by his kindness. He is also called 'ouduMbara'.
JagannAtha dAsa pays obeisance to ouduMbara nAmaka yama dhaRma rAya and prays to protect us with his kindness.

aMtastAp pariharisu = remove my manas tApa
JagannAtha dAsa now pays obeisance to chaMdra of kaxa-12.
ParamAtma is called madhuvirOdhi as He is the enemy of madhu daitya.
'madhuvirOdhi manOja' i.e. chaMdra was born from the manas of madhuvirOdhi ParamAtma during samudra mathana (xIrOdadhi mathana samayadaludisi).
'kudhara' – means paRvata or mountain (ku – bhUmi, dhara – holds) indicating himapaRvata rAja. pARvatI dEvi was born to himapaRvata rAja & mEnaka
Thus, 'kudharajA' – means pARvati dEvi and 'kudharajAvallabha' – means pARvatI ramaNa i.e. R^idra dEvaru.
One of the kaLe of chaMdra is on the head of R^idra dEvaru and decorates his head described by JagannAtha dAsa as 'mastaka maMdiradi mereva'.
JagannAtha dAsa pays obeisance to 'vidhu tavAMghri payOjayugaLake' i.e. the lotus feet of chaMdra dEvaru.
The bees are attracted by the lotus flower and they suck the honey from the flower. JagannAtha dAsa says – Oh chaMdra, please let my manas which is like a bee, to be attracted to your lotus feet. Since chaMdra is manObhimAni, JagannAtha dAsa requests that the manas of the sachchEtana-s be attracted to the Lotus Feet of ParamAtma.
The ariShaDvaRga-s i.e. kAma, krOdha, lObha, mOha, mada and mAtsaRya (anger, lust, greed, infatuation, pride and jealousy respectively) originate from the manas. JagannAtha dAsa prays that these manas tApa be eliminated.

JagannAtha dAsa now praises sURya, who is in kaxa-12. shatarUpa dEvi, yama dEvaru, chaMdra & sURya belong to the same kaxa. sURya is abhimAni for rUpa. He is nEtrEMdriyAbhimAni. saMj~nA & ChAya are his two wives. yama was born to saMj~nA & shani was born to ChAya.
shrI – means maMgaLa svarUpa, vanaruha – means 'vana' – water, 'ruha' – by splitting, 'aMbara' – means Eyes.
ParamAtma has unusual broad Lotus Eyes. Thus He is described as 'shrIvanaruhAMbakana'. sURya was born from the Eye of ParamAtma. Therefore, kamaladaLAyaxa ParamAtma is called 'vanaruhAMbaka'.
sURya was born from the Eye of ParamAtma. Refer – "chaxUH sURyOjAyata" – from puruSha sUkta.
'mayUkha' – means rays. The rays of sURya penetrate everywhere and give light to the world. Refer – "kiraNOsra mayUkhAMshu gabhasti ghR^iNI ghR^iShTayaH" – from amarakOsha.
The rays of sURya helps bhagavad bhakta-s (sajjana-s) to cross this ocean of saMsAra just like someone holds ones hand to cross a river.
vivasvAn nAmaka sURya is one among the dvAdashAditya-s.
vibhAvasu is another name for sURya since he has high radiance. JagannAtha dAsa prays that sURya may please bestow good j~nAna to us at all times by wat of associating us with brahma j~nAni-s.

koDu = please give to usIn this stanza, JagannAtha dAsa praises varuNa who is the samudrAbhimani dEvata.
ParamAtma uses sUxma prakR^iti as upAdAna and by the triguNa vaiShamya, He does sR^iShTi. chitprakR^ti nAmaka laxmI dEvi is abhimAni for sUxma prakR^ti. That is how laxmI dEvi is lOkamAte for this jagat.
During samudra mathana, laxmI dEvi rose from the xIra samudra. laxmI dEvi is therefore called xIra sAgara kanya. gaMgA dEvi is the consort of varuNa dEvaru.
varuNa is so fortunate to obtain laxmI dEvi as his daughter.
varuNa gave away his daughter laxmI dEvi in marriage to the only eligible Person who is saRvOttama shrIman nArAyaNa and made Him as his Son-in-law.
That is why, ParamAtma made the xIra samudra as His residence and He became xIrasAgarashAyi.
chatuRmukha brahma and all other dEvata-s sing the praises ParamAtma, who resides in xIra samudra.
varuNa dEvaru, who is the samudrAbhimAni is refered as 'ratnAkara' since he holds very many valuable jewels in the sea. JagannAtha dAsa praises this 'ratnAkara' and begs him to take our manas towards bahkti in ParamAtma.

He wears a tuLasi bead garland around his neck and holds the mahatI vIna in his hand. The vibrations of the wires of vINa produce musical tunes. He combines the tunes of the vINa with his melodious udAtta & anudAtta voice along with the matching claps of tALa and steps of legs tied with gejje (small bells) sings in praise of ParamAtma.

nArada who belongs to kaxa-14, was born from the thigh of brahma dEvaru. nArada is the youngest among the other sons of brahma dEvaru i.e. marIchi, atri, aMgirasa, pulastya, pulaha, kratu, bhR^igu, daxa & vasiShTha.
nArada is trilOka saMchAri and is worshipped and respected by dEva-dAnava-mAnava. He is hari kARya sAdhaka.

bhAvaprakashike explains:-
While all the R^iShi-s together were performing satra yAga on the banks of saraswatI river, they were debating as to who among brahma, viShNu & mahEshvara is superior so that they could give their offerings to that dEvata. In order to decide on this this issue, bhR^igu muni was appointed to go to brahma, viShNu & mahEshvara andadvise his findings.
bhR^igu muni first went to satya lOka – the abode of brahma dEvaru. He went to meet brahma dEvaru and paid obeisance to brahma dEvaru. brahma dEvaru was engrossed in tapas and he did not care to see bR^igu muni. (Why? – because brahma dEvaru knew that viShNu ParamAtma is saRvOttama). bhR^igu muni cursed brahma dEvaru that he must never be worshipped on earth and inferred in his mind that brahma dEvaru has pride in his heart and decided that he would arrive at a conclusion based on his visit to the other two dEvata-s.
bhR^igu muni then went to kailAsa – the abode of R^idra dEvaru. R^idra dEvaru got up from his seat to welcome bhR^igu muni (who is the younger brother of R^idra) and went to embrace him. bhR^igu muni accused R^idra that he is 'amaMgala svarUpi'. R^idra was angry and went to kill bhR^igu muni. At that time pARvatI dEvi begged her husband R^idra not to kill a brahmin. bhR^igu muni was thus saved.
Finally, bR^igu muni went to vaikuMTha lOka – the abode of ParamAtma (achyuta). ParamAtma was relaxing with His consort laxmI dEvi. bhR^igu muni went and directly kicked the Heart of ParamAtma. ParamAtma was so kind that He asked bhR^igu for pardon for not paying attention to him.
Based on these experiences, bhR^igu muni decided that viShNu ParamAtma is saRvOttama.

In this stanza, JagannAtha dAsa pays obeisance to agni dEvata (kaxa-15) and praises him.
bisuruha –means lotus flower, aMbaka – means eyes, thus ParamAtma, who has Lotus Petal Eyes – is called 'bisuruhAMbaka'.
By the order of bisuruhAMbaka ParamAtma, agni dEvaru has the power to reach the havissu (oblations) to the dEvata-s. Therefore, agni is described 'sumanasamukha'. sumanasa – means – those who have sAtvika svarUpa.
Normally, even while we perform vaisya dEva every day, we recite the following:-
"svasti, shraddhAM, mEdhAM, yashaH, praj~nAM, vidyAM, buddhiM, shriyaM, balaM, AyuShyaM, tEjaM, ArOgyaM dEhi mE havyavAhana".
agni reaches the rasa-s of havissu (oblations) like rice, eLLu, honey, ghee and other stuff to all dEvata-s. agni is therefore 'hutavaha'.
agni is superior among the aShTavasu-s. He is therefore described as vasukulAdhipa and the remaining 7 vasu-s are described as 'asamaru'.
JagannAtha dAsa pays obdeisance to the tEjas, rUpa, guNa-s of yaj~na puruSha agni nAmaka dEvata.
Just a recap here:-
1) agni belongs to kaxa-15 just like prasUti dEvi and bhR^igu R^iShi
2) Since he reaches oblations to respective dEvata-s, he is called havyavAhana.
3) agni is tEjObhimAni (agni being one of the paMchabhUta-s) & vAgAbhimAni (tongue being one of the kaRmEMdriya-s)
4) agni is superior among the aShTa vasu-s
5) svAhA dEvi is the wife of agni
6) He has 7 tongues
7) He swallows everything but he is not affected by the guNa-s, dOSha of that he swallows – Refer –HKAS_ 18-33 in

bhAvaprakAshika explains - prasUti dEvi obtained 60 children as per the order of brahma dEvaru.
But, shrImad bhAgavatam mentions as under:-
prasUtiM mAnavIM daxa upayEmE hyajAtmajaH tasyAM sasaRja duhitruH ShODasgAmalalOchanAH---------------SB_4-1-47
trayOdashAdAddhamARya tathaikAmagnayE vibhuH pitR^ibhya EkAM yuktEbhO bhavAyaikAM bhavachChidE-------SB_4-1-48
daxaprajApati had married prasUti dEvi (daughter of svayaMbhu manu) and obtained 16 daughters. He decided to marry away 13 daughters to yama dhaRma rAya, one of them to pitR^i, one of them to agni and one of them to R^idra.
Then, how do we understand this?
A king called baRhisna had 10 sons (prachEta-s). These sons did penance for many years and obtained a boon from ParamAtma and married vARxI. daxa (son of brahma dEvaru), who was earlier killed by R^idra for having insulted him at the yaj~na was now one of the sons of prachEta-s. daxa did penance of ParamAtma and obtained a boon to marry paMchajani (a.k.a. – asiknI), daughter of paMchajana rAja and obtained 10000 sons from her by the anugraha of ParamAtma. He sent all the sons for performing penance with a view to obtain a boon for 'saMtAnavR^iddhi'. These 10000 sons were met by nArada muni and they were converted to sanyAsi-s. daxa was very unhappy and went to brahma dEvaru. Again, brahma dEvaru granted him a boon and he obtained 10000 sons once more. Even they were converted to sanyAsi-s by nArada muni. daxa was very angry on nArada muni and cursed that he may not have any permanent place to stay and that he would always keep roaming. Then, daxa came to brahma dEvaru again and sadly explained what had happened. brahma dEvaru consoled daxa and blessed him that in future he would be gifted with daughters.
While praising prasUti dEvi, this is what JagannAtha dAsa describes as 'tAtanappaNeyiMda nI prakhyAtiyuLLaravattu makkaLa……' which is referred in shrImad bhAgavatam as under:-
tataH prAchEtasOsiknyAmanu nItaH svayambhuvA sa ShaShTiM janayAmAsa duhittR^iuH pitR^ivatsalAH-----------------SB_6-6-1

prasUti dEvi (through prAchEta – who is daxa indeed)) obtained 60 daughters and they were married off as under:-
1) 13 were married kashyapa muni (for saMtAnAbhivR^iddhi)
2) 27 were married to chaMdra dEvaru(naxatrAbhimAni)
3) 10 were married to yama dEvaru
4) 1 was married to R^idra (satI dEvi)
5) 4 were married to garuDa
6) 2 were married to aMgirasa muni
7) 2 were married to kR^itAshvani
8) 1 was married to bhUta
Now, how do we know that prachEta was daxa indeed? The answer lies in shrImad bhAgavatam as under:-
tEbhyastasyAmabhUd rAjan daxaH prAchEtasaH kila-----SB_6-4-17
However, SB_6-6-1 indicates that it was asikni who obtained 60 daughters. Then, how are we certain that prasUti is asikni? Here, we must understand that dEvata-s are sAMsha jIva-s and they have niyata patni-s. These tatvEsha-s have the same wives in their mUla rUpa and avatAra rUpa-s. Therefore, daxa-s wife prasUti is asikni indeed. This is just like while iMdra was vAli, shachI dEvi was born as tAra dEvi.
prasUti dEvi, who belongs to kaxa-15 is at the same level bhR^igu R^iShi & agni.
agni is called 'vItihOtra'. How? This is referred in amarakOsha as under:- "agnirvaisvAnarOvanhirvItihOtrO dhanaMjayaH".
JagannAtha dAsa pays obeisance to prasUti dEvi and request her to protect us all.

In this stanza, JagannAtha dAsa praises the saptaR^iShi-s, vaivasvata manu & vishvAmitra – all of them belong to kaxa-16.
chatuRmukha brahma dEvaru is called 'shatadhR^iti'. He was bhagavad kARya sAdhaka for 100 kalpa-s and then became 'shatanaMda'.
brahma dEvaru had 7 sons us under:-
1) marIchi
2) atri
3) pulaha
4) kratu
5) vasiShTha
6) pulastya
7) aMgirasa
These 7 sons were great tapasvi-s (sutapOnidhigaLu)
ParamAtma cannot be seen and has immense mahime, there is none greater than Him or equal to Him. He is therefore called 'apratima'. Since He cannot be won over, He is called 'aparAjita'.
The saptaR^iShi-s have performed intense penance (susamAdiyoLu olisi) of apratima aparAjita ParamAtma and earned His anugraha.
The saptaR^iShi-s, vaivasvata manu & vishvAmitra belong to the same kaxa-16.

In this stanza, JagannAtha dAsa praise mitra (mitra nAmaka sURya), niraR^iti, prAvahi (wife of pravaha vAyu) & tAra (wife of bR^ihaspatyAchArya) who belong to kaxa-17.
As we are already aware, there are 12 Aditya-s (sURya-s). They are refered as dvAdashAditya-s. They are abhimAni dEvata-s in the place of prapitamaha during pitR^i kARya. Among these dvAdashAditya-s urukrama nAmaka sURya is sAxAt ParamAtma Himself. Then comes mitra nAmaka sURya in the descending order of sURya-s. This is what JagannAtha dAsa describes as 'modaliganAda mitra'.
pravaha vAyu is the dikpAlaka for the vAyavya (North-West). He is one among the 49 marut-s. prAvahi is his consort.
niraR^iti is the dikpAlaka for nairutya (South-West). Although niraR^iti is born in daitya vaMsha, he is a viShNu bhakta just like prahlAda, bali & vibhIShaNa. niraR^iti is also known as puNyajanapa.
'niRjararu' – are those dEvata-s who are not affected by old age. Their guru is brahaspatyAchARya, who is also niRjara. His consort is tArA dEvi.
Thus mitra nAmaka sURya, prAvahI, niraR^iti & tArA dEvi – these 4 dEvata-s belong to the same kaxa-17.
JagannAtha dAsa prays to these dEvata-s to remove difficulties like Adhi (that which trouble the manas) & vyAdhiya (body diseases) of the j~nAni-s who are bhagavad bhakta-s and bestow, j~nAna, bhakti & vairAgya to them.

JagannAtha dAsa praises the dEvata-s of kaxa-18.
Among the dEvata-s who understand that vEda purANa-s, sachChAstra-s are the real wealth – are dEvata-s like vishvaksEna, kubEra, vighneshvara and the 85 sOmapAnaRha dEvata-s – all belonging to kaxa-18.
The 100 dEvata-s entitled for sOma pAna are summarized as under:-
The shEshashatastha sOmapAnARha-s 85 dEvata-s – are listed in HKAS_21-55
http://dvaita.info/pipermail/dvaita-list_dvaita.info/2007-May/002906.html
JagannAtha dAsa pays obeisance at the feet of these dEvata-s and prays to them them to remove our mithyA j~nAna, that this jagat is mithya, there is no Isha-jIva bhEda and bestow the wealth of good j~nAna,

JagannAtha dAsa, now takes our attention to the dEvata-s of kaxa-19.
bhUtavAyu is one of the paMchabhoutika-s, for which pravaha vayu is abhimAni. The avAMtarabhimAni is marIchi. This marIchi us not among the 7 sons of brahma dEvaru, but he is different from the one that belongs to kaxa-16.
marIchi, must be understood as the son of pradhAna vAyu. The bhagavad gIta says in vibhUti adhyAya – "marIchi marutAmasmi…" i.e. "know Me as marIchi in vAyu."
He is – "marIchashabdEna pradhAna vAyu putrOvipaxitaH, pradhAnavAyuchO bhUtavAyuRnAmno marichaH" – as clarified in gItA tAtpaRya and "marIchiRmarutamasmIti gitAyAM cha" – as also referred in tAratamya saMgraha.
JagannAtha dAsa pays obeisance to this marIchi, pAdamani jayaMta (son of iMdra) and requests that they may be pleased with us and protect us from getting proud of the experience of worldly pleasures and prevent us from obtaining mithyAj~nAna

JagannAtha dAsa pays obeisance to the remaining dEvata-s of kaxa-19.
We are already aware that there are 100 crores of R^iShi-s. Out of these 100 R^iShi-s are the important ones, which JagannAtha dAsa refers here as 'kulaR^iShigaLu' in kaxa-19, while the rest of them (99,99,99,900 R^iShi-s) are in lower kaxa in the order of tAratamya.
Among these 100 R^iShi-s are bhR^igu, kashyapa, koushika & other 80 of them who are gOtra pravaRtaka-s. They are therefore referred as 'kulaR^iShigaLu'. 20 of them are not kula prasiddha.
haihaya – is kARtivIRyARjuna rAja of haihaya dEsha. He belongs sURya vaMsha and he is the son of shaRyAti rAja. He is kARtvIRyARjuna. He had a thousand hands. It is said that, if one loses something or misplaces something and if the person remembers kARtvIRyARjuna, he will usually find the same very soon.
pR^ithu chakravaRti:-
He was the son of vEna rAja. vEna rAja was highly nAstika. Therefore, the land in his kingdom was not fertile. The seeds that were sown were all swallowed by earth. Thus there was extreme famine because of this. The suffering subjects went to j~nAni-s and as per their advise they churned the body of vEna rAja and pR^ithu was thus born. pR^ithu believed in dhaRma and he was a great bhagavad bhakta. He shivered bhUmi by his arrow got back all that was swallowed by the Earth and brought back happiness to them and the kingdom flourished. JagannAtha dAsa thus describes him as 'iLeya kaMpanagaida pR^ithu'
maMgaLa – is called as aMgAraka by saMkaRShaNa oDeyar as well as in bhAvaprakAshika, whereas the other commentators call this as an adjective to describe parIxita rAja. aMgAraka is one among the navagraha dEvata-s. There does not seem to be any evidence of his belonging to the class of kaRmaja dEvata-s. (Esteemed members may like throw light in this aspect).
parIxita rAja – obtained lessons on shrImad bhAgavatam from shukAchARya and reached the Lotus Feet of the Lord. From this point of view,the word 'maMgaLa'seems to be an apt adjective to describe parIxita rAja.
nahuSha, yayAti, nAbhi and shashibiMdu are chakravaRti-s. These chakravaRti-s (nR^ipa) are kaRmaja dEvata-s. These chakravaRti-s performed satsAdhana kaRma-s and became kaRmaja dEvata-s.
bali – is the grandson of prahlAda rAja i.e. bali is the son of virOchana rAja.
saptEMdraru – in a day of brahma dEvaru there are 14 manu-s who rule bhU lOka and corresponding 14 iMdra-s who rule the svaRga lOka. These are listed below:-

hiraNyakashipu was a powerful daitya. prahlAda was his son. At the gurukula, where prahlAda was sent to study, he was taught by his guru-s shaMDa & maRka to mediate on shiva, who the daitya-s believed to be supreme. However, prahlAda refused to accept that and he infact went further to advise his colleagues at the gurukula that shrIman nArAyaNa is supreme.
Once, hiraNyakashipu was so annoyed that he told his son prahlAda to show him the Supreme Lord from the pillar in the hall by hitting the pillar with force.
prahlAda prayed to the all pervading ParamAtma and at that time - as stated in the verse from bhAgavatam – "satyaM vidhatuM nijabhR^ityabhAShitaM", in order to establish that what His bhakta prahlAda says is true – i.e. ParamAtma exists everywhere, - narasiMha nAmaka ParamAtma rushed out of the pillar and tore the belly of hiraNyakShipu and killed him in order to protect His bhakta prahlAda.
In the stanza, shrIda – means 'shrI' – mOxa rUpa puruShaRtha and 'da' – Giver.
JagannAtha dAsa prays to bhAgavOttama prahlAda rAja to protect us all. prahlAda rAja belongs to kaxa-19

prIyavrata rAja:-
prIyavrata was the eldest son of svayaMbhu manu & shatarUpa dEvi. He is the elder brother of uttAnapAda. He was married to baRhImati (daughter of vishvakaRma). prIyavrata-baRhImati were gifted with 10 sons called agnIdhra, idhmajivha, yaj~nabAhu, mahAvIra, hiraNyarEta, ghR^itapR^iShTha, savanna, mEdhAtidhi, vItahOtra & kavi and one daughter called URjvasati. URjvasati was married to shukrAchArya. In order to dissipate the darkness caused by mountains during night time, in order to level them out he undertook a ride round the mEru paRvata on a single-wheeled chariot. The crater formed by the landing of the chariot after a bump became 7 seas and 7 islands. None other than ParamAtma can cause this to happen by His sannidhAna in prIyavrata. prIyavrata rAja thus created sapta dvIpa-s on the sapta samudra-s by going around on a one-wheeled chariot and he distributed the 7 islands among his 7 sons. He obtained lessons from nArada muni and obtained mukti. 3 out of his 10 sons obtained yOgya parAyaNa from childhood.The remaining sons ruled the 7 islands. prIyavrata rAja ruled the earth for 11 aRbhuda years with great ability.
bharata rAja:-
He was the eldest son of R^iShabha rAja & jayaMta. He is one among the shatapuNyashlOka kaRmaja dEvata-s. bharata was married to paMchajani. They were gifted with 5 sons called – sumati, rAShTrabR^it, sudaRshana, avaraNa & dhUmrakEtu. The land he ruled came to be known as 'bharatakhaMDa'.
mAMdhAta chakravaRti:-
He was the son of sURyavaMshi yavanAshvara rAja. yavanAshavara rAja had several wives but he had no children. Through bhR^igu R^iShi, he conducted a putra kAmEShThi yAga and bhR^igu muni had kept a kalasha filled with water, which was sanctified with 'putraprada' maMtra. yavanAshvara drank the same ignorantly and he thus had to bear a child. The question arose as what the child should be fed with. iMdra came to his rescue, by filling nectar in his right thumb and fed the child. The child was thus named mAMdhAta (mAM dhyAnasi – he sucks me). mAMdhAta married biMdumati (daughter of yadu vaMsha shashabiMdu rAja) and they were gifted with sons named purukutsa, aMbarISha & muchukuMda. He was also gifted with 50 daughters. He married them all to soubharI mahaRShi. mAMdhAta chakravaRti was a very brave king. Since he performed 100 rAjasUya yAga-s and 100 ashvamEdhA yAga-s, he obtained the title of 'sARvabhouma' (chakravaRti).
puNyAshritaru – 'puNya' also means hari. puNyAshritaru means – those who take shelter of ParamAtma.
jaya-vijaya – They were the famous twin gatekeepers of VishNu's abode, vaikuMTha and were cursed to fall from grace and find salvation only in opposition to VishNu by way 3 births as daitya-s on bhU lOka. They obtained salvation from the avatAra-s of varAha, narasiMha rAma & kR^ishNa.

pAlipudu = please protect us
JagannAtha dAsa pays obeisance to bhU dEvi (kaxa-25), who is the consort of bhUvarAha rUpi ParamAtma.
'vana' – means water, thus 'vanadhi' means samudra.
bhUmi is covered by samudra just as we cover ourselves with clothes.
'vara' – means uttama or srEShTha, 'adri' – indicates mountains,
'nichaya' –means groups (of mountains). bhUmi holds the mountains and balances the same. That is the mountains are called ' bhUdhara'. The most important mEru paRvata & other mountains are held by bhUmi. They look like the beautiful breasts of bhU dEvi. That is why JagannAtha dAsa describes the same as - 'varAdri nichaya stana virAjite'
The jaDa vastu-s, sthAvara jIva-s and jaMgama jIva-s are sheltered by bhUmi. 'vidhAra' – meaning shelter.
gaMdha is the tanmAtra guNa of pR^ithvi. rasa is apatatva guNa. rUpa is tanmAtra guNa of tEjas. In the same way spaRsha, shabda are tanmAtra guNa-s of vAyu and AkAsha. The paMcha tanmAtra-s are the sharIra of bhUmi.
AkAsha, vAyu, tEjassu, udaka pR^ithvi are all existent in bhUmi
kashyapa R^iShi is a very important R^iShi. bhUmi is the daughter of kashyapa R^iShi. bhUmi is therefore called 'kashyapi'. This is described by JagannAtha dAsa as – 'munikulOttama kashyapana nija tanuje'.
hiraNyAxa was the younger brother of hiraNyakashipu. He pleased brahma dEvaru with his penance and obtained various boons and he troubled various dEvata-s. He abducted bhUmi dEvi rolled her like a mat and took her into the deep sea. Then viShNu ParamAtma took His avatAra as varAha rUpa (boar), tore the belly of hiraNyAxa, killed him and rescued the bhUmi. bhU dEvi is therefore described as 'paramAtmanaRdhAMgi'.
JagannAtha dAsa prays to bhU dEvi not to count our mistakes but protect us.
pR^ithvi tatva is the last among the 24 tatva-s. AkAsha, vAyu, tEjassu & udaka tatva-s are contained in bhU tatva in sUxma rUpa.
rasa is the apatatva guNa. Juicy fruits are grown on bhUmi. The trees extract the rasa from bhUmi and integrate the same in the fruits. All the trees are provided a base by bhUmi.
Volcanoes spit fire – meaning agni (tEjassu) is hidden in bhUmi.
pR^ithvi, udaka & tEjassu which can be seen by us are mURta dravya.
AkAsha & vAyu are amURta dravya.

hiraNyAxa was the younger brother of hiraNyakashipu. He pleased brahma dEvaru with his penance and obtained various boons and he troubled various dEvata-s. He abducted bhUmi dEvi rolled her like a mat and took her into the deep sea. Then viShNu ParamAtma took His avatAra as varAha rUpa (boar), tore the belly of hiraNyAxa, killed him and rescued the bhUmi.
'dharaNi janani' – is mother earth. She holds the charAchara vastu-s. Plants grow on the bhUmi. The foods that the plants provide give life to all on earth. Therefore, bhU dEvi is referred as 'dharaNi janani'.
While we walk on earth, we indeed touch the earth with our feet, kick the earth, stamp the earth etc…
JagannAtha dAsa prays to bhU dEvi, to pardon all such sins commited by us and protect us.

In this stanza, JagannAtha dAsa praises puShkara.
Every jIva-s capability is limited by it's svarUpa yOgyata. The jIva is complete in that respect with such yOgyata. 'niratishaya' – indicates – not exceeding ones yOgyata.
j~nAna which is withing the limits of svarUpa yOgyata is 'suj~nAnapURvaka'.
The sajjana-s perform kaRma-s according to their svarUpa yOgyata with biMba kriya anusaMdhAna thinking that all is done by 'viShNu prERNeyA, viShNu prItyaRthaM' without expecting any phala – such kaRma-s are decribed as 'niShkAma kARma-s'.
niShkAma kaRma-s done at those respective times and the phala thus obtained by the jIva are brought to the experience of the jIva kaRmAbhimAni puShkara.

The ever young, satva guNAbhimAni, kAMti saMpanna laxmI dEvi is called 'shrI'. ParamAtma who keeps laxmI dEvi in His Heart is called shrInivAsa.
Among the infinite virtous qualities (guNa-s) fo ParamAtma, kindness is His greatest guNa. His bhakta-s are blessed with His complete kindness (kAruNya).
kR^ishAnuja – are the agni putra R^iShi-s. During rAmAvatAra they desired ParamAtma's companionship. ParamAtma decided to satisfy them during His kR^iShNAvatAra. The same R^iShi-s took avatAra as gOpika strI-s during kR^iShNAvatAra and He married them. They were 16100 in all.
saMkaRShaNa oDeyar comments – that this must be understood as 16108 because gOpika strI-s (16100) + shaNmahiShi-s (6) + rukmiNi + satyabhAma = 16108.
The 70 yaxa-s are a group of dEvata-s. kubEra is the adhipati of yaxa-s. kubEra pleased shiva by performing penance at the saMgama of kAvEri & naRmada and became the adhipati of yaxa-s.
The 30 dAnava-s are not the tamO yOgya daitya-s but thet are servants of dEvata-s.
The 20 chAraNa-s are also servants of dEvata-s.
The yaxa-s, dAnava-s chAraNa-s are all carriers of palanquins.
The 100 apsara-s are the danseuses.
The gaMdhaRva-s are singers who use musical instruments and sing songs.
All these are ajAnaja-s. They are Akhyata prasiddha.

These two class of strI-s are anAkhyAta ajAnaja-s.
They obtained the anugraha of shrI kR^iShNa in naMdagOkula.
JagannAtha dAsa pays obeisance to the lotus feet of these gOpika strI-s.
ParamAtma is svaramaNa and AptakAma. He is far away from jAratana. He played about with the gOpika-s in their ramA rUpa and did these krIDa-s in the svabiMba rUpa of ramA dEvi. The gOpika-s obtained His anugraha by way of pratibiMba kriya.

mAM satata pAhi = please protect me always
j~nAni srEShTha JagannAtha dAsa finishes the rendering of harikathAmR^itasAra by praising ParamAtma and requesting him to please bestow special victory / success on us.
ParamAtma is nitya maMgaLa svarUpi. He never has any defeat any time. He is always fortunate. JagannAtha dAsa prays that those who remember ParamAtma may please be bestowed special victory / success. 'jayatu' does not mean here that we are praying for His success or victory.
The tri-jagat are svaRga, bhUmi & pAtaLa. ParamAtma is entirely different from the jaDa-s and chEtana-s that are in the tri-jagat. That is why He is 'trijagadvilaxaNa'. If He would have been affected by the guNa kaRma-s of jaDa and chEtana-s, how can He bestow victory on us?
ParamAtma is the chief cause of this jagat - sR^iShTi, sthiti, laya, niyamana, j~nAna, aj~nAna, baMdha & mOxa. He alone is saRvataMtra svataMtra. He is jagadEka kAraNa. laxmI dEvi, brahmAdi dEvata-s are avaMtara kAraNa. ParamAtma is saRvOttamOttama.
sItA dEvi, the daughter of janaka rAja was called jAnakI dEvi, was sAxat laxmI dEvi aMsha. jAnakI ramaNa is shrI rAmachaMdra. JagannAtha dAsa praises Him.
ParamAtma ends the rule of daitya-s by eliminating them. He is therefore 'daityakulAMtaka'. ParamAtma protects the sajjana-s by punishing the daitya-s.
In this way, JagannAtha dAsa praises viThala vAchya ParamAtma who is the all powerful, all pervading, saRvOttama shrI laxmI narasiMha ParamAtma, who is his kula dEvata to JagannAtha dAsa.
This ends the saMdhi.
