LAKSHMI SHOBANE WITH LYRICS AND MEANING

Lakshmi Shobane was written by the maha rishi Shri shri Vadhiraj. This Lakshmi shobane is like a mangal sutra for all sumangali’s (married women). Lakshmi Shobane is considered to be a weapon for raksha (protection) which has to be chanted  every day in every house. For scholars, this is considered to be sheersagar that gives knowledge as amrita.

 The meaning of Lakshmi Shobane was translated by Smt. Saraswathy Sripathy in Tamil (which has been translated into English by us) taken from the book Lakshmi Shobane (Bhavi Sameera Srimadh Vadhiraja Swamigalu).

( Thathparya is bakthi wont suit to people who have desire in money).

(Thathparya is people who deal with lust for women are said to be unfit for bhakthi).

There is one similarity in Dharmaraj and Vayu. Eventhough he follows dharma and known as yamadharmaraj, he doesn’t have good qualities as his name suggests. That’s because he doesn’t show mercy on people, instead goes on killing them. Vayu belonging to parasukla dhrya follows dharma, even though in hell he kills people [these details are in vayustuti] by kicking them on vital parts (marma sthana). Both of them follow Vishnu’s order, hence it’s not considered as sin.

(Mahabali had an aggressiveness of Kala Bali (one of the asuras), which was not considered for moksha. Therefore he was not eligible for moksha).

This Shumshumara deva decides the lifespan for Lord Bramha, Lord Narayana is eternal, therefore vedas say Mahalakshmi as ‘nitya Sumangali’ who looks at all these devars who are not eternal. (Goddess Lakshmi is nityasumangali only if she marries Lord Narayana who is immortal).

 Including Bramha everyone are jeevathmas. They are bound to three major

 features satva, rajas, tamas and face happiness and sorrow based on 

their karma.

 But Mahalakshmi is not affected by any such sorrows. No jeevathma 

will match Mahalakshmi, hence she consideres only Lord Vishnu who is

 not bound to any kind of such features.

(Bramha, Vayu, Bharathi, Saraswathy doesn’t have ignorance, fear, sorrow, 

because they know the difference between body and soul, still they will not

 match Lord Vishnu).

Bramha is son of Narayana, Shiva his grandson, Shesha being 

his bed. Garuda serves as his mode of travel, sun and moon appear

 always in the sky for the sake of bhakthi they have on him. 

Mahalaskhmi is not in the state of considering anyone, since 

they all depend and serve Lord Narayana.

avanobbane – only one

niraniShTa – indepent

niravadya – hence carries no doshas

The one (Yama) who has respect and bakthi on Lord Narayana,

 will not  do any mischieves to his devotees during his rule. 

All the Digbalaga’s (representatives/God of each direction 

like north east west south) are also serving with a fear. 

Their fears are always out of respect and Bakthi, not

 like the fear what asura’s have). Lord Narayana is the one 

who gave Amurtha to all devatha’s, not only during churning

 period of Paalasagara (Milky ocean), he gives it always

 through Vedha sasthra’s. He also gives power to Devatha’s

 to grasp the knowledge of Vedha’s. Lord Narayana

 is the only independent person, hence Mahalakshmi

 considers only him.

Those who think and say that Lord Narayana is also bound

 to sins are said to be insane. Shrutis say that, Lord Narayana 

is independent and he does not carry any sins, hence he does

 not go through sorrows in hell. Mahalakshmi calls the people

 as crazy, who say Lord Narayana 

also has to face hell without analyzing the fact.

Aladeleya mEle – on pupil leave

Sivana liNgava – Shiva Linga

Nilisuvare -  keep

During Pralaya period, Lord Narayana destroys and

 swallows everything including Devas, Rishis. He creates,

saves and destroys with his will power for the goodwill

 of Jeevathma’s. He does not get any sin’s or Dosha’s 

due to this. As he is the supreme of everything,

 does not keep Siva Linga in pupil leave post complete

 Pralaya.

Sri Vathi Raja Swamy mentioned this here, because, few

 people argue that Lord Rama worshiped Siva Linga

 in Rameshwara to clear his sin by killing Ravana. 

That is not true, As Lord Rama is an incarnation of

 Lord Narayana, he cannot get any sin’s by any of his

 actions, so he does not have to worship anyone to clear 

his sins. The reason why he placed 

Siva linga in Rameshwara is: Shiva cut one of Bramha’s

 heads (Actually Bramha had 5 heads and Shiva cut one, 

so he became four headed). 

 Due to this action, Shiva got Bramha HAthya Dosha. That will be

 cleared if Shiva sees “Rama Sethu”. To clear his Dosha’s, Rama

 placed Shiva Linga in Rameshwara.

Thirsty, Aging, Death, Disease and fear of ghost

 cannot affect Lord Narayana.

 The Name ‘Narayana’ itself has a meaning

 that ‘no sins will affect’.

suffer in puddle?

This means, he does not have any sufferings and he does

 not suffer in puddle.

amma – astonishing

ivage – to him (Lord Narayana)

hasitRuSheyuMTe – does he have hunger, thirst?

Even during Bramha’s Kalpa Pralaya (destruction),

 when the whole world including all Jeevathamas

 destroyed, Lord Narayana did not

 get affected by Pralaya. Does he have any birth?

 He does not have any birth or death.

It is amazing to hear that mother Yashoda 

fed breast milk to Lord Krishna. 

When he was lying in pupil leaf post pralaya,

 which mother would have 

fed him milk. Mahalakshmi is thinking about the 

Supreme God Krishna.

Aga BakShya BOjyavittu pUjisuva |

Aga – in that pralaya

BakShya BOjyavittu – feast to Narayana

Ujisuva – do pooja

yOgige uMTE – are there yogis?

dhanadhAnya – money and grains required to make food (Prashad)

Aga dorakoMbudE – at that time can we get?

pAkamADuva – to cook

vahni – agni (fire)

 mattAga – at that time

ellihudu – where/

vichArisirO – think about it

If Lord Nrayana also has Hunger and thirst, then

 during Kalpa Pralaya period, who would have

 fed him food or what grains and ingredients 

were available during that period to prepare food 

for him. Hence we should understand that

 Lord Narayana does not have hunger and

 thirst like others. Mahalakshmi is thinking 

about such supreme 

Lord Narayana.

rOgavanIva – give diseases

vAta – gati movement

pitta – bilious humor

SlEShma - mucus (kapha)

Aga kUDuvudE – if it exists during pralaya

rameyoDane – with Rama devi

BOgisuvavage – Lord Narayana playing

duritava nenevare – can think of diseases?

I guNanidhige – to this noble (guna poorna)

eNeyuMTe - equivalent

The three humors Vata, Pitta and Kappa (tridosha) are the reasons

 for all diseases. Everyone gets diseases based on 

their sins. Lord Narayan is not affected

 by any sin, hence no disease will affect him. When 

he was playing with Rama Devi, during post 

Kalpa Pralaya period, there were nothing called 

humors, so nothing would have affected 

Lord Narayana. Mahalakshmi 

is thinking to herself there is no one equivalent to Gunanithi.

Lord Narayana plays and embraces Rama Devi  during post Kalpa Pralaya period. All are just  his plays only for Rama Devi’s king Lord Narayana.  He does not embrace or play(leela) with the  intention what normal Humans have. That is why  no baby is born due  to his plays with Rama Devi. Hence Lord Narayana  is not impacted  by any of the human characteristics like Kama,  and happiness.

As Lord Narayana is not affected by  any ailment, even though he swallows the whole  world during Pralaya period, indigestion will not affect  him. Mahalakshmi is thinking about such supreme Lord Narayana. iNthA mUrutiya oLagoMba naraka bahu | BrAMta nInelliMda tOrisuvelO || saMteya maruLa hOgelO ninna mAta | saMtaru kELi sogasaru || 40 || iNthA mUrutiya – a moorthy like this oLagoMba –  keep naraka – hell bahu BrAMta – very playful nInelliMda –  from where did you tOrisuvelO - show saMteya maruLa – insane who shout like a street vendor hOgelO ninna mAta – move on, your words saMtaru – knowledgeable people (who knows vedha) kELi – hear sogasaru – not feel happy If someone says, Lord Narayana also has to face hell,  then a God who swallows the whole world during Pralaya  period, what kind of hell he can face. Goddess Mahalaskhmi  says, all the knowledgeable people  (who learnt Vedha) will not be happy by hearing such people words.

Mahalakshmi is asking why these people are not  recognizing that Lord Narayana is the one who has no birth or death. aMbudhiya udakadali oDedu mUDida kUrma | neMba SrI hariya pitanAru || eMba SrIhariya pitanAru adariMda svA | yaMBugaLella avatAra || 42 || aMbudhiya udakadali – water of sheer sagar oDedu mUDida – closed by shell kUrma – Lord Narayana as Kurma (turtle) neMba SrI hariya – such a Hari pitanAru – who is father? adariMda – that’s why svAyaMBugaLella – self avatAra – incarnated While churning Sheera Sagara (Milky Ocean), Lord Narayana has  taken incarnation of Koorma to hold the Manthra hill from drowning.  No one has given birth to Lord Narayana as Koorma, which is taken  by himself as per his wish. All his incarnations are according to his  wish. Hence Mahalakshmi Lord Narayana has no birth. dEvakiya garBadali dEvanavatarisida | BAvavannu balla vivEkigaLu || I vasudheyoLage kRuShNage janmava | Ava pariyali nuDiyuveyO || 43 || dEvakiya garBadali – womb of Devaki dEvanavatarisida – Lord Krishna appeared BAvavannu – the way balla vivEkigaLu – known by knowlegable persons I vasudheyoLage – in this world kRuShNage - Lord Krishna janmava – birth Ava pariyali – how can it be nuDiyuveyO – said ? Lord Narayana incarnated as Krishna based on his own wish. He just  showed the world that he was born to Devaki and Vasudeva. All  knowledgeable people who knows Vedha sasthra’s knows this truth.  Goddess Mahalaskhmi is asking how one can say that such supreme  Lord Narayana is having birth and death in this world. AkaLisuvAga yaSOdAdEvige | dEva tannoLage hudugidda || Buvanavellava tOridudillave | A viShNu garBadoLaDaguvane || 44 || AkaLisuvAga – at the time of yawning yaSOdAdEvige – to Yashodaha dEva – Shri Vishnu tannoLage –in him hudugidda – hidden Buvanavellava – all world tOridudillave - shown A viShNu – that Lord Vishnu garBadoLaDaguvane – fit in a womb? During Krisha avathara, Lord Narayana showed mother Yashoda the  whole universe in his mouth while yawning. Goddess Mahalakshmi  is asking, how can such a supreme Lord Narayan would have born  from womb. Aneya myAnadalli aDagisidavaruMTe | anEka kOTi ajAMDava || aNurENu rUpadali ALda SrI hariya | janani jaTharavu oLagoMbude || 45 || Aneya – elephant myAnadalli – small vessel aDagisidavaruMTe – can it be control anEka kOTi – lots of ajAMDava - universe aNurENu rUpadali – tip of his hair ALda – control SrI hariya – Lord Narayana janani jaTharavu – mother’s womb oLagoMbude – exist inside? No one in this world can put a big elephant in a small vessel. But Lord Sri Hari has kept it and controls the whole universe as an atom in the tip of his hair. Mahalakshmi is stating that such a supreme Lord cannot fit into any one’s womb; hence he does not have birth. adariMda kRuShNanige janmaveMbudu salla | madananivana kumAranu || kadanadi kaNegaLa ivanedegesevane | sudatErigivaneMtu silukuvane || 46 || adariMda – therefore kRuShNanige – for Shri Krishna janmaveMbudu salla – no birth madananivana – Manmadhan is his kumAranu – son kadanadi – due to figth kaNegaLa – with his arrows ivanedegesevane – attack Shri Krishna’s? sudatErigivaneMtu – with ladies silukuvane – get attracted? As per earlier verse, Lord Sri Krishna, one of the incarnations of Lord Narayana does not have any Births. Manmadhan (Kama) is his son, so Kama cannot send his arrows towards Lord Narayana. Also Lord Narayana is not the one who can be affected due to Kama’s arrows. Hence whatever he did with Gopika girls are his plays and in reality he was never attracted by those girls due to Kama. adariMda kRuShNanige paranArI saMgava kO | vidarAda budharu nuDivAre || sadarave I mAtu sarva vEdaMgaLu | mudadiMda tAvu stutisuvavu || 47 || adariMda – therefore kRuShNanige – for Shri Krishna paranArI saMgava – with other women kOvidarAda budharu – people who know vedha nuDivAre – will they say? sadarave I mAtu – is it right to speak ike this? sarva vEdaMgaLu- all vedhas mudadiMda – with happinesst Avu stutisuvavu – praise Shri Krishnas leela Those who know Vedhas and Sasthras will not say that Lord Krishna can be attracted by other women apart from Sri Mahalakshmi. Epics and Puranas are always happily praising the plays (Leela’s) of Sri Krishna. It never says that Krishna had relationship with other women apart from Mahalakshmi. eMda BAgavatada cheMdada mAtanu | maMdamAnava manasige || taMdakO jagakke kaivalyavIva mu | kuMdage kuMdu korate salladu || 48 || eMda BAgavatada – Shrimad Baagavatha cheMdada mAtanu – beautiful words maMdamAnava – unwise people manasige taMdakO – think in your mind jagakke – world kaivalyavIva – giver of moksha mukuMdage – to Mukunthan kuMdu korate salladu – has no sins and sorrows Shrimad Baagavatha tells the meaning of all Vedas; such Baagavatha says that Krishna has no relationship with other women except Sri Mahalakshmi. Everyone should keep these words from Sasthra’s in their mind. Lord Mahalakshmi says Mukuntha (Lord Narayana) has the power of giving Moksha to the whole world; such supreme God does not have any sin or sorrows. hattu varShada keLage makkaLATikeyalli | chitta strIyarige eraguvade || artiyiMdarchisida gOkulada kanyeyara | satya saMkalpa beritidda || 49 || hattu varShada keLage – just less than ten years makkaLATikeyalli - chilhood chitta strIyarige eraguvade  – can anyone think of playing with girls? artiyiMdarchisida – did pooja with love gOkulada kanyeyara – gopika girls satya saMkalpa – truth determined  beritidda – danced together Lord Sri Krishna was just less than 10 years of age, when he did all the plays with Gopika girls. As per Baagavatha he was just seven, while lifting the Govardhan hill. He played Rajakreeda with gopika girls during that time only, a boy with such age, would have not played with girls due to kama. Krishna played with those girls as per the Gopika girls earlier birth wish.  It is not due to kama. Hence Mahalakshmi states that Lord Krishna has no sin or sorrows due to this.

Lord Krishna married 16000 women and each of them gave birth to 10 babies. This is an impossible act for any human. Lord Sri Krishna did not do anything due to Kama. He gave equal happiness to everyone. Also this should be considered as one of the happiest ways of shristi for him.

Lord Krishna incarnation is to destroy the asuras. As he killed many ausras including boothana, no one asura dares to enter Gokula. Hence to make the asuras come to his place, he decided to change his place to brindavan. With each of his hair, Lord Krishna created animals (wolves) to migrate Gokula people from their place to Brindavan. The same way how he created wolves, Krishna would have given birth to each 10 babies for those 16000 women, not like a normal Human being. Lord Mahalakshmi states that, those who knows and understands this truth are getting eligible for moksha.

Bramha and Shiva give boon to those who believes them; such other Gods also worship Lord Narayana. Lord Narayana does not have rage, anger. If he has anger, then other Gods will not worship him. Ignorance is the cause of Anger.  Lord Mahalakshmi states that, when Gods such as Bramha and Siva are worshipping Sri Narayana, then everyone should understand that he does not have anger.

River Ganges has the power of clearing people’s sin. Lord Mahalakshmi states that, when a river came out of his toe that has power of clearing people’s sin, then everyone should understand that there is no one equal to Lord Narayana who is has such powerful feet.

Both Beeshma and Yuthistra know that Krishna is not bound to any sin or sorrows; hence they gave him primary respect during Rajasuya Yaga. Lord Mahalakshmi challenges and asks the people not to shout, those who say Lord Narayana is bound and will be impacted by sin and sorrows.

As per Garuda Puran, an Aatma, after death, when it leaves the existing body, Yamadharma will punish the Aatma based on the sins in hell. When Lord Narayana does not have birth, then obviously he does not have to face hell. Lord Mahalakshmi names the people as “Shepherd” who are with ignorance and have no knowledge of Sri Hari.

Mahalakshmi states, the one who say Lord Narayana is affected by yamadharma are considered as insane.

A powerful soldier will stay calm at house, but at the war field he will fight with enemies with all his power. Similarly though Lord Narayana being ‘Antharyami” stays inside every one of us like an atom. But when he discovers evil, in order to save Dharma, sages and good people in the world, he shows his powers and gigantic physic to destroy the evils.

He is the one who does not have any birth or death, like jeevathmas.
