Sarva Samarpana Gadya Part 3

Sarva Samparpana Gadya commentary :Part 3

Rayaru, branches off into Kundalini Yoga and Tantra as the next branch of activities of humans. As can be recalled, Rayaru takes every conceivable activity and emphasizes that all are done as per, and only as per, wish of Shri Hari. 

7) स्व हृदय मध्य स्थित सुषुम्न नाडी दक्षिण पार्श्र्व स्थित पञ्चाशत् संख्याक पिङ्गळ नाडीषु तत् उत्तर पार्श्र्व स्थित तावत् संख्याक व्यञ्जनार्ण प्रतिपाध्य तावत्संख्याक इडा नाडीषु 

तत्तत् योग्यतात् काल अनुसार प्राप्त तत्तन् नाडी स्त्थित

In the center lies the Shushumna Naadi, and on the right are fifty pingala Naadis; and to the left are clearly seen 50 Ida Naadis. Depending on every jiVa’s capacity and stage , these Naadis are activated.

// This references the Kshurika Upanishad 

ततः कण्ठान्तरे योगी समॊहन्नाडिसञ्जयम्म् , एक्प्त्तरं नाडिशतम् तासां मध्ये वराः स्मृताः 

सुषुम्ना तु परे लीना विरजा ब्रह्मरूपिणी , इडा तिष्टति वामने पिङ्गला दक्षिणेन च 

says the Upanishad. It stresses that depending on one’s ability to shun the desires , senses and works on the meditation, progress is achieved. यथा निर्वाणकालो तु दीपो दग्ध्वा लयं व्रजेत् , तथा सर्वाणि कर्माणि योगी दग्ध्वा लयं व्रजेत् //

8) बृहती छन्द ऋक सहस्रगत षट्त्रिंशत् सहस्र हंसस्वर अख्याक्षर प्रतिपाध्य 

9) तन्निष्ट तन्नियमात्मक प्रातर्मध्यन्दिन सायम् आख्य सवनत्रय 

10) तत्तत् कालीन तत् अभिमानि वसु रुद्र आदित्य ओपास्य 

11) परमाणु सम्बन्धित अवत्सन्ख्याक अहर्नियामक अहर्नामक 

The Lord is expounded in all the 36000 syllable of Rk Veda ; he is the one propitiated at his will and choosing , in the three parts of day & life when the appointed Vasu, Rudra and Aditya are worshipped. He is the Savana Trinity. Atoms are infinite in number and like them are the time and activities associated with it in day time.

// 8) Rg Veda has about 36000 syllables and every sound points to Lord. When we read Rg Veda, we need to understand that it is not for just singing but realizing.  

9) Like wise the absolute brahmacarya of Savana, Kavi and Mahavira ( 3 of the ten sons of King Priyamvrata who was son of first born Swayunbu Manu) are only because Hari willed so. Shrinmad Bhagavatam narrates the geology in which King Priamvrata born to Swayambu Manu was not keen on Gruhasta life, but Lord Brahma instructed him to rule the world as gruhasta and beget sons as wished by Hari. The King begets 10 sons of which 3 go the ascetic way , while the 7 get into gruhasta life. The point stressed is the if we understand that we do per Hari Icca and act accordingly, karma does not bind us. 

10) Looking at human life in entirety , Chandogya Upanishad sets the life expectancy as 116 years maximum and ordain that we worship Vasus , Rudras and Adityas , as the rule over  the 116 years. 

पुरुषो वाव यज्ञस्तस्य यानि चतुर्विंशति वर्षाणि तत्प्रातःसवनं चतुर्विंशत्यक्षरा गायत्री गायत्रं प्रातःसवनं तदस्य वसवोऽन्वायत्ताः प्राणा वाव वसव एते हीदंसर्वं वासयन्ति ॥ ३.१६.१ 

The human body is like a sacrifice, and the first twenty-four years are like the morning libation. The gāyatrī has twenty-four syllables, and the morning libation is accompanied by the gāyatrī. The Vasus are the vital breaths and the sense organs, and hence are the basis of first 24 years.

अथ यानि चतुश्चत्वारिंशद्वर्षाणि तन्माध्यंदिनं सवनं चतुश्चत्वारिंशदक्षरा त्रिष्टुप्त्रैष्टुभं माध्यंदिनंसवनं तदस्य रुद्रा अन्वायत्ताः प्राणा वाव रुद्रा एते हीदंसर्वंरोदयन्ति ॥ ३.१६.३ ॥

The  next forty-four years are like the midday libation. The triṣṭubh metre has forty-four syllables, and the midday libation is accompanied by a hymn which is in the triṣṭubh metre. The Rudras are connected with this midday libation. The prāṇas are called Rudras because the make everyone in this world weep.

अथ यान्यष्टाचत्वारिंशद्वर्षाणि तत्तृतीयसवनमष्टाचत्वारिंशदक्षरा जगती जागतं तृतीयसवनं तदस्यादित्या अन्वायत्ताः प्राणा वावादित्या एते हीदंसर्वमाददते ॥ ३.१६.५ ॥

Then the next forty-eight years are the third libation. The jagatī metre has forty-eight syllables, and the third libation is accompanied by a hymn which is in the jagatī metre. The Ādityas are connected with this third libation. The prāṇas are called Ādityas because they accept  all things.

11)  Vishnu purana explains that Brahma creates four time zones in a day, Jyotsná (dawn), Rátri (night), Ahar (day), and Sandhyá (evening). Rayaru mentions that infinite are the time pieces in the day and the associated activities. Shri Hari acts through Brahma as Ahar .

मुख्यप्राण ओपास्य रमा युक्त पुरुष रूपात्मक 

प्रादेशमात्र हृदय व्यापक प्रादेश परिमित स्थानेशात्मक 

देह अन्तर्गत देहान्गुष्ट परिमित जीवान्तर्गत 

जीव अन्गुष्ठ परिमित स्वह्रुदय कमल कर्णिका मूलस्थित मॊलेश्मात्मक 

तावत् परिमित कर्णिका अग्र स्थित बिम्बरूपे 

The Lord exists in male form accompanied by His consort, Sri Lakshmi and is continuously worshipped by Mukhyaprana as Pradesha. He resides in the hearts of physical bodies as well as the soul of individual beings in their hearts in the size of the thumb as Moolesha; he resides as tiny  Bimbaroopa in the lotus of the heart. 

// This is straight from Narayana Sookta that defines the location in the heart where Shri Hari lives in Narayana roopa. 

अधो॑ नि॒ष्ट्या वि॑तस्या॒न्ते॒ ना॒भ्यामु॑परि॒ तिष्ठ॑ति । ज्वा॒ल॒मा॒लाकु॑लं भा॒ती॒ वि॒श्वस्याय॑त॒नं म॑हत् 

‘Below the adam’s apple and above the navel lies the Abode of the universe, as if adorned by a garland of flames’

सन्तत॑ग्ं शि॒लाभि॑स्तु॒ लम्ब॒त्याकोश॒सन्नि॑भम् । तस्यान्ते॑ सुषि॒रग्ं सू॒क्ष्मं तस्मिन्॓ स॒र्वं प्रति॑ष्ठितम्

‘Surrounded by arteries, inside the inverted lotus bud of heart, a subtle space exists, which is His abode’ 

तस्य॒ मध्ये॑ म॒हान॑ग्निर्-वि॒श्वार्चि॑र्-वि॒श्वतो॑मुखः । सो‌ग्र॑भु॒ग्विभ॑जन्ति॒ष्ठ॒-न्नाहा॑रमज॒रः क॒विः  

‘in the middle of that space, exists a splendrous ball of fire, flaming in all directions, consuming everything.

तस्या॓ः शिखा॒या म॑ध्ये प॒रमा॓त्मा व्य॒वस्थि॑तः । स ब्रह्म॒ स शिवःस हरिःसेन्द्रः सो‌क्ष॑रः पर॒मः स्व॒राट् ॥

In the midst of this splendrous fire does he reside. He is Brahma, He is Shiva, He is Hari, He is Indra, and He is the imperishable, independent, absolute//
