Preface
॥श्री हरिवायुस्तुतिः॥
The auspicious praise dedicated to Lord Hari and Vayu.
॥अथ श्री नखस्तुतिः॥
Now begins the glorious praise of the nails.
पान्त्वस्मान् पुरुहूतवैरि बलवन्मातङ्ग माद्यद्घटा। कुंभोच्चाद्रि विपाटनाधिकपटु प्रत्येक वज्रायिताः। श्रीमत्कंठीरवास्य प्रतत सुनखरा दारितारातिदूर। प्रद्ध्वस्तध्वांत शांत प्रवितत मनसा भावितानाकिवृंदैः॥१॥
May the outstretched, excellent nails of the glorious Lion-faced Lord protect us — nails which, each like a thunderbolt, are exceedingly skilled at splitting even mountain-like elephant temples; which tore apart and cast far away the powerful, rut-maddened, elephant-like enemy of Indra; which completely destroy darkness, and are meditated upon by the hosts of gods with minds spread wide in tranquillity.
लक्ष्मीकांत समंततोऽपिकलयन् नैवेशितुस्ते समम्। पश्याम्युत्तम वस्तु दूरतरतोपास्तं रसोयोऽष्टमः। यद्रोशोत्कर दक्ष नेत्र कुटिल प्रांतोत्थिताग्नि स्फुरत्। खद्योतोपम विस्फुलिङ्गभसिता ब्रह्मेशशक्रोत्कराः॥२॥
O Lord of Lakshmi, I perceive that there is nothing equal to you in all directions. I observe an excellent object revered from a distance, representing the eighth essence of iron. The heap of anger, emerging from the adept eye's crooked corner, sparkles like a firefly, consuming the multitude of Brahma, Lord, and Indra.
॥अथ श्री हरिवायुस्तुतिः॥
Now begins the auspicious praise of Lord Hari and Vayu.
श्रीमद्विष्ण्वंघ्रि निष्ठा अतिगुणगुरुतम श्रीमदानंदतीर्थ। त्रैलोक्याचार्य पादोज्ज्वल जलजलसत् पांसवोऽस्मान्पुनंतु। वाचांयत्रप्रणेत्रीत्रिभुवनमहिता शारदा शारदेंदुः। ज्योत्स्नाभद्रस्मित श्रीधवळितककुभाप्रेमभारंबभार॥१॥
May the dust from the bright feet of the revered Anandatirtha, who is devoted to the feet of Vishnu and possesses the highest virtues, purify us. Where Sharada, the esteemed leader of speech in the three worlds, with a smile as auspicious as the autumn moonlight, carried the burden of love, illuminating all directions.
उत्कंठाकुंठकोलाहलजवविदिताजस्रसेवानुवृद्ध। प्राज्ञात्मज्ञान धूतांधतमससुमनो मौलिरत्नावळीनाम्। भक्त्युद्रेकावगाढ प्रघटनसघटात्कार संघृष्यमाण। प्रांतप्राग्र्यांघ्रि पीठोत्थित कनकरजः पिंजरारंजिताशाः॥२॥
The longing and dull uproar, known for its speed and constant service, has increased. The wise self-knowledge has shaken the blind darkness, like a crown of jewels in a row of names. Immersed in the overflow of devotion, the manifestation with sound is rubbing. The excellent feet, risen from the seat, are colored with the yellowish dust of gold, spreading in all directions.
जन्माधिव्याध्युपाधिप्रतिहतिविरहप्रापकाणां गुणानाम्। अग्र्याणां अर्पकाणां चिरमुदितचिदानंद संदोहदानाम्। एतेषामेशदोष प्रमुषितमनसां द्वेषिणां दूषकाणाम्। दैत्यानामार्थिमंधे तमसि विदधतां संस्तवेनास्मि शक्तः॥३॥
I am capable of praising the qualities that remove the obstacles of birth, disease, imposition, obstruction, and separation, and offer the foremost gifts of long-lasting joyful consciousness and blissful abundance, even amidst the deluded minds of envious defamers and demons in the darkness of want.
अस्याविष्कर्तुकामं कलिमलकलुषेऽस्मिन्जनेज्ञानमार्गम्। वन्द्यं चन्द्रेन्द्ररुद्र द्युमणिफणिवयोः नायकद्यैरिहाद्य। मध्वाख्यं मंत्रसिद्धं किमुतकृतवतो मारुतस्यावतारम्। पातारं पारमेष्ट्यं पदमपविपदः प्राप्तुरापन्न पुंसाम्॥४॥
In this age of Kali, where impurity prevails, the path of knowledge is revealed by the incarnation of the wind god, Madhva, who is perfected by mantra. Today, he is worshipped by leaders and celestial beings like the moon, Indra, Rudra, the sun, jewels, and serpents. He is the savior and the supreme refuge for those who have fallen, offering them a state free from calamities.
उद्यद्विद्युत्प्रचंडां निजरुचि निकरव्याप्त लोकावकाशो। बिभ्रद्भीमो भुजेयोऽभ्युदित दिनकराभाङ्गदाढ्य प्रकाण्डे। वीर्योद्धार्यां गदाग्र्यामयमिह सुमतिंवायुदेवोविदध्यात्। अध्यात्मज्ञाननेता यतिवरमहितो भूमिभूषामर्णिमे॥५॥
May the god of wind, Vayu Deva, who is as fierce as rising lightning and whose brilliance fills the world, who possesses a formidable arm and shines with the sun's splendour, strong and great, uplifted in valour with his foremost mace, grant wisdom here to Arni, the best of ascetics and a beneficial ornament to the earth.
संसारोत्तापनित्योपशमद सदय स्नेहहासांबुपूर। प्रोद्यद्विद्यावनद्य द्युतिमणिकिरण श्रेणिसंपूरिताशः। श्रीवत्सांकाधि वासोचित तरसरलश्रीमदानंदतीर्थ। क्षीरांभोधिर्विभिन्द्याद्भवदनभिमतंभूरिमेभूति हेतुः॥६॥
May the compassionate one, who eternally calms the heat of the world, full of affectionate smiles like water, whose rising knowledge is like a forest in the sky filled with rays of shining jewels, who is the hope above the mark of Śrīvatsa, and who resides in a more simple and glorious blissful sacred place, split the ocean of milk to remove your undesired abundant prosperity.
मूधर्न्येषोऽन्जलिमेर् दृढतरमिहते बध्यते बंधपाश। क्षेत्रेधात्रे सुखानां भजति भुवि भविष्यद्विधात्रे द्युभत्रेर्। अत्यंतं संततं त्वं प्रदिश पदयुगे हन्त संताप भाजाम्। अस्माकं भक्तिमेकां भगवत उतते माधवस्याथ वायोः॥७॥
This salutation is firmly bound on the head as your bond noose. In the field, the supporter of happiness enjoys on earth, destined for the future creator and the sky-bearer. You continuously grant at the pair of feet, alas, the suffering of those who partake. Our singular devotion is to the Lord, the uplifted Mādhava and Vāyu.
साभ्रोष्णाभीशु शुभ्रप्रभमभयनभो भूरिभूभृद्विभूतिः। भ्राजिष्णुभूर्ऋर्भूणां भवनमपि विभोऽभेदिबभ्रेबभूवे। येनभ्रोविभ्रमस्ते भ्रमयतुसुभृशं बभ्रुवद्दुभृर्ताशान्। भ्रान्तिभेर्दाव भासस्त्वितिभयमभि भोभूर्क्ष्यतोमायिभिक्षून्॥८॥
With clouds and heat in all directions, the bright light and fearless sky, the abundant glory of the mountains. The shining earth indeed, the abode of beings, also O Lord, became indivisible and brown. By which your confusion and illusion may intensely delude like a brown one, supporter of hopes. The delusion of the forest fire's light, thus fear towards O earth of the perishing, in the illusion of beggars.
येऽमुंभावंभजंते सुरमुखसुजनाराधितं ते तृतीयम्। भासंते भासुरैस्ते सहचरचलितैश्चामरैश्चारुवेशाः। वैकुण्ठे कण्ठलग्न स्थिरशुचि विलसत्कांति तारुण्यलीला। लावण्या पूर्णकांता कुचभरसुलभाश्लेषसम्मोदसांद्राः॥९॥
Those who worship this state, adored by the faces of gods and good people, shine with brilliance, accompanied by moving companions and fans, in beautiful attire. In Vaikuntha, they are attached to the neck, steady and pure, with shining beauty and youthful play. They are full of grace, beloved, with fullness of bosom, easily obtaining embrace and intense joy.
आनंदान्मंदमंदा ददति हि मरुतः कुंदमंदारनंद्यावतार्। ऽमोदान् दधानां मृदुपद मुदितोद्गीतकैः सुंदरीणाम्। वृंदैरावंद्य मुक्तेन्द्वहिमगु मदनाहींद्र देवेन्द्रसेव्ये। मौकुंदे मन्दरेऽस्मिन्नविरतमुदयन्मोदिनां देव देव॥१०॥
The gentle winds, born of joy, indeed bring the delightful descent of jasmine and coral trees. Bearing joys, with soft steps and joyful songs, the beautiful women, worshipped by groups, are like the liberated moon, snowy, and filled with love. In this place, continuously rising, is the joyful god, Mukunda, served by the serpent king and the lord of gods.
उत्तप्तात्युत्कटत्विट् प्रकटकटकट ध्वानसङ्घट्टनोद्यद्। विद्युद्व्यूढस्फुलिङ्ग प्रकर विकिरणोत्क्वाथिते बाधिताङ्गान्। उद्गाढंपात्यमाना तमसि तत इतः किंकरैः पंकिलेते। पंक्तिग्रार्व्णां गरिम्णां ग्लपयति हि भवद्वेषिणो विद्वदाद्य॥११॥
The intense brilliance, fierce and heated, manifests with crackling sounds from collisions. Lightning, enveloped with sparks, scatters in multitudes, boiling and afflicting limbs. Deeply falling into darkness, here and there, by servants in muddy places, these heavy clouds indeed torment the enemies of the Lord, who are the learned ones.
अस्मिन्नस्मद्गुरूणां हरिचरण चिरध्यान सन्मङ्गलानाम्। युष्माकं पाष्वर्भूमिं धृतरणरणिकः स्वगिर्सेव्यांप्रपन्नः। यस्तूदास्ते स आस्तेऽधिभवमसुलभ क्लेश निमूर्कमस्त। प्रायानंदं कथं चिन्नवसति सततं पंचकष्टेऽतिकष्टे॥१२॥
In this place, dedicated to the long meditation on the auspicious feet of Hari by our teachers, you have surrendered to the service of your own words, holding the battlefield. He who remains indifferent sits in foolishness, unable to overcome suffering. How can one not dwell in almost bliss, constantly amidst fivefold and extreme hardships?
क्षुत् क्षामान् रूक्षरक्षो रदखरनखर क्षुण्णविक्षोभिताक्षान्। आमग्नानांधकूपे क्षुरमुखमुखरैः पक्षिभिविर्क्षताङ्गान्। पूयासृन्मूत्र विष्ठा क्रिमिकुलकलिलेतत्क्षणक्षिप्त शक्त्याद्यस्त्र। व्रातादिर्तान् स्त्वद्विष उपजिहते वज्रकल्पा जलूकाः॥१३॥
Your enemies, emaciated by hunger, with rough bodies, sharp teeth and nails, and disturbed eyes, are submerged in a dark well. They are attacked by birds with razor-sharp beaks, leaving their limbs wounded. They are surrounded by pus, blood, urine, and excrement, filled with worms. In this state, they are momentarily thrown by powerful weapons, like thunderbolts, by groups of leeches.
मातमेर्मातरिश्वन् पितरतुलगुरो भ्रातरिष्टाप्तबंधो। स्वामिन्सवार्न्तरात्मन्नजरजरयितः जन्ममृत्यामयानाम्। गोविंदे देहिभक्तिं भवतिच भगवन्नूजिर्तां निनिर्मित्ताम्। निव्यार्जां निश्चलां सद्गुणगण बृहतीं शाश्वतीमाशुदेव॥१४॥
O mother, O wind, father-like teacher, brother, friend, relative, master, all-pervading soul, who is ageless and decays birth, death, and diseases, grant devotion in Govinda, O Lord, O Bhagavan, who is strengthened and created unwavering, steady, of good qualities, great, and eternal, O Asudeva.
विष्णोरत्त्युत्तमत्वादखिलगुणगणैस्तत्र भक्तिंगरिष्ठाम्। संश्लिष्टे श्रीधराभ्याममुमथ परिवारात्मना सेवकेषु। यः संधत्ते विरिंचि श्वसन विहगपानंत रुद्रेन्द्र पूवेर्। ष्वाध्यायंस्तारतम्यं स्फुटमवति सदा वायुरस्मद्गुरुस्तम्॥१५॥
Due to Vishnu's supreme excellence and all-encompassing qualities, the highest devotion is established. United with Sri and Dhara, and with the nature of a family among servants, he establishes the hierarchy of Brahma, Vayu, Garuda, Ananta, Rudra, Indra, and others, and clearly protects the study of scriptures and hierarchy always. Vayu, our teacher, is him.
तत्त्वज्ञान् मुक्तिभाजः सुखयिसि हि गुरो योग्यतातारतम्यात्। आधत्से मिश्रबुद्धिं स्त्रिदिवनिरयभूगोचरान्नित्यबद्धान्। तामिस्रांधादिकाख्ये तमसिसुबहुलं दुःखयस्यन्यथाज्ञान्। विष्णोराज्ञाभिरित्थं शृति शतमितिहासादि चाकणर्यामः॥१६॥
O teacher, you indeed bring happiness to those who are eligible for liberation due to their level of fitness. You instill confusion in the minds of those who are eternally bound, dwelling in heaven, hell, and earth. Known as darkness and ignorance, you cause immense suffering in the absence of true knowledge. Thus, by the command of Vishnu, we hear countless Vedas, histories, and other scriptures.
वंदेऽहं तं हनूमानिति महितमहापौरुषो बाहुशालि। ख्यातस्तेऽग्र्योऽवतारः सहित इह बहुब्रह्मचयार्दि धर्मैः। सस्नेहानां सहस्वानहरहरहितं निर्दहन् देहभाजाम्। अंहोमोहापहो यः स्पृहयति महतीं भक्तिमद्यापि रामे॥१७॥
I bow to Hanuman, the revered great hero with strong arms, known as your foremost incarnation, who is here with many virtues like celibacy, burning away the sins and delusions of the embodied, and who still desires great devotion to Rama even today.
प्राक्पंचाशत्सहस्रैव्यर्वहितमहितं योजनैः पवर्तं त्वम्। यावत्संजीवनाद्यौषध निधिमधिकप्राणलंकामनैषिः। अद्राक्षीदुत्पतंतं तत उत गिरिमुत्पाटयंतं गृहीत्वा। यांतं खे राघवांघ्रौ प्रणतमपि तदैकक्षणे त्वांहिलोकः॥१८॥
Before fifty thousand leagues, you were separated as a great mountain. As long as you intended to bring the life-giving first medicine treasure to Lanka, you saw yourself leaping and uprooting the mountain, taking it, and going in the sky. Bowed at Rama's feet, the world saw you in a moment.
क्षिप्तः पश्चात्सत्सलीलं शतमतुलमते योजनानां स। उच्चस्तावद्विस्तार वंश्च्यापि उपललवैव व्यग्रबुद्ध्या त्वयातः। स्वस्वस्थानस्थिताति स्थिरशकल शिलाजाल संश्लेष नष्ट। छेदांकः प्रागिवाभूत् कपिवरवपुषस्ते नमः कौशलाय॥१९॥
After being playfully thrown a hundred yojanas by you, O incomparable one, he was so high and wide, even the bamboo and stones were affected. With a distracted mind, you caused the firm pieces and rock net connection to be lost. The cut mark remained as before. Salutations to the skill of your monkey form.
दृष्ट्वा दृष्टाधिपोरः स्फुटितकनक सद्वमर् घृष्टास्थिकूटम्। निष्पिष्टं हाटकाद्रि प्रकट तट तटाकाति शङ्को जनोऽभूत्। येनाजौ रावणारिप्रियनटनपटुमुर्ष्टिरिष्टं प्रदेष्टुम्। किंनेष्टे मे स तेऽष्टापदकट कतटित्कोटि भामृष्ट काष्ठः॥२०॥
Upon witnessing the splintered gold and the heap of rubbed bones of the lord of the seen, people became doubtful, as if a lake had manifested on the bank of the golden mountain, crushed. In battle, the enemy of Ravana, dear and skillful in dance, desired to bestow his fist. What is not desired by me, he is your eight-footed mat, trembling in crores, shining like wood.
देव्यादेश प्रणीति दृहिण हरवरावद्य रक्षो विघाता। ऽद्यासेवोद्यद्दयाद्रर्ः सहभुजमकरोद्रामनामा मुकुंदः। दुष्प्रापे पारमेष्ठ्ये करतलमतुलं मूधिर्विन्यस्य धन्यम्। तन्वन्भूयः प्रभूत प्रणय विकसिताब्जेक्षणस्त्वेक्षमाणः॥२१॥
By the command of the goddess, Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu protect and remove obstacles. Today, in service, the compassionate one with arms invoked the name of Rama, Krishna. In the supreme position, difficult to attain, placing incomparable wisdom in the palm of the hand, blessed. Expanding again, abundant affection blossomed, the lotus-eyed one observes.
जघ्नेनिघ्नेनविघ्नो बहुलबलबकध्वंस नाद्येनशोचत्। विप्रानुक्रोश पाशैरसु विधृति सुखस्यैकचक्राजनानाम्। तस्मैतेदेव कुमर्ः कुरुकुलपतये कमर्णाचप्रणामान्। किमीर्रं दुमर्तीनां प्रथमं अथ च यो नमर्णा निमर्माथ॥२२॥
The destroyer of obstacles, with abundant strength, did not lament the first destruction of the crane. Compassionate bonds of Brahmins support life and happiness for the people of one wheel. To him, the prince, those gods offer salutations to the lord of the Kuru dynasty. What of the afflicted, first then and who by bowing pierced.
निमृर्द्नन्नत्य यत्नं विजरवर जरासंध कायास्थिसन्धीन्। युद्धे त्वं स्वध्वरे वापशुमिवदमयन् विष्णु पक्षद्विडीशम्। यावत्प्रत्यक्ष भूतं निखिलमखभुजं तपर्यामासिथासौ। तावत्यायोजि तृप्त्याकिमुवद भघवन् राजसूयाश्वमेधे॥२३॥
O Viṣṇu, you crushed Jarāsandha's body joints with great effort in battle, subduing the enemy lord like an animal in your sacrifice. As long as the entire sacrificial offering was visible, you performed austerities with satisfaction. What then, O Lord, was said during the Rājasūya and Aśvamedha sacrifices?
क्ष्वेलाक्षीणाट्टहासहं तवरणमरिहन्नुद्गदोद्दामबाहोः। बह्वक्षौहिण्य नीकक्षपण सुनिपुणं यस्य सवोर्त्तमस्य। शुष्रूशाथर्ं चकथर् स्वयमयमथ संवक्तुमानंदतीथर्। श्रीमन्नामन्समथर्स्त्वमपि हि युवयोः पादपद्मं प्रपद्ये॥२४॥
With a loud laugh, you destroy your enemy, rising with strong arms, a destroyer of many armies, very skilled, whose highest qualities are for listening. The joyful sage himself spoke then to speak, O revered one, capable, I surrender to the lotus feet of you both.
दृह्यंतींहृदृहं मां दृतमनिल बलाद्रावयंतीमविद्या। निद्रांविद्राव्य सद्यो रचनपटुमथापाद्यविद्यासमुद्र। वाग्देवी सा सुविद्या द्रविणद विदिता द्रौपदी रुद्रपत्न्यात्। उद्रिक्ताद्रागभद्रा द्रहयतु दयिता पूवर्भीमाज्ञयाते॥२५॥
The goddess of speech, known for her good knowledge and wealth-giving nature, dispels ignorance and sleep with the force of a swift wind. She skillfully churns the ocean of knowledge at the foot of creation. Draupadi, from the wife of Rudra, overflowing with auspiciousness, may she hold your beloved by the command of ancient Bhima.
याभ्यां शुश्रूषुरासीः कुरुकुल जनने क्षत्रविप्रोदिताभ्याम्। ब्रह्मभ्यां बृंहिताभ्यां चितसुख वपुषा कृष्णनामास्पदाभ्याम्। निभेर्दाभ्यां विशेषाद्विवचन विशयाभ्यामुभाभ्याममूभ्याम्। तुभ्यं च क्षेमदेभ्यः सरिसिजविलसल्लोचनेभ्यो नमोऽस्तु॥२६॥
Salutations to you, who were desirous of serving in the birth of the Kuru dynasty, by the Kshatriya and Brahmin, by Brahma, by the nourished, by the form of mind-pleasure, by the abode of Krishna's name, by the giver of fearlessness, especially by the expression of subjects, by both, by those, to the protectors, to the lotus-eyed.
गच्छन् सौगंधिकाथर्ं पथि स हनुमतः पुच्छमच्छस्य। भीमः प्रोद्धतुर्ं नाशकत्स त्वमुमुरुवपुषा भीषयामास चेति। पूर्णज्ञानौजसोस्ते गुरुतमवपुषोः श्रीमदानंदतीथर्। क्रीडामात्रं तदेतत् प्रमदद सुधियां मोहक द्वेषभाजाम्॥२७॥
As Bhima went on the path for the Saugandhika flower, he encountered the tail of Hanuman's monkey and found himself unable to lift it, being frightened by its immense strength. This was a mere play by Śrīmadānandatīrtha, who is of complete knowledge and strength, and it delighted the wise while deluding those who are envious.
बह्वीः कोटीरटीकः कुटलकटुमतीनुत्कटाटोप कोपान्। द्राक्चत्वं सत्वरत्वाच्चरणद गदया पोथयामासिथारीन्। उन्मथ्या तत्थ्य मिथ्यात्व वचन वचनान् उत्पथस्थांस्तथाऽयान्। प्रायच्छः स्वप्रियायै प्रियतम कुसुमं प्राण तस्मै नमस्ते॥२८॥
You swiftly destroyed the pride and anger of many arrogant enemies with your mace, discerning truth from falsehood in their words, and offered a flower to your beloved. Salutations to the life-giver.
देहादुत्क्रामितानामधिपति रसतामक्रमाद्वक्रबुद्धिः। क्रुद्धः क्रोधैकवश्यः क्रिमिरिव मणिमान् दुष्कृती निष्क्रियाथर्म्। चक्रे भूचक्रमेत्य क्रकचमिव सतां चेतसः कष्टशास्त्रं। दुस्तकर्ं चक्रपाणेगुर्णगण विरहं जीवतां चाधिकृत्य॥२९॥
The lord, who is crooked-minded and controlled by anger, like a worm with a jewel, made the earth's cycle difficult for the good and the living, considering the separation from Vishnu's qualities.
तद्दुत्प्रेक्षानुसारात्कतिपय कुनरैरादृतोऽन्यैविर्सृष्टो। ब्रह्माहं निगुर्णोऽहं वितथमिदमिति ह्येषपाशंडवादः। तद्युक्त्याभास जाल प्रसर विषतरूद्दाहदक्षप्रमाण। ज्वालामालाधरोऽग्निः पवन विजयते तेऽवतारस्तृतीयः॥३०॥
According to that imagination, respected by some and released by others, the doctrine 'I am Brahman, I am without qualities, this is false' is indeed heretical. Such fallacious reasoning spreads like a net, capable of burning the poisonous tree. The fire, adorned with a garland of flames, conquers the wind. This is your third incarnation.
आक्रोशंतोनिराशा भयभर विवशस्वाशयाच्छिन्नदपार्। वाशंतो देशनाशस्विति बत कुधियां नाशमाशादशाऽशु। धावंतोऽश्लीलशीला वितथ शपथ शापा शिवाः शांत शौयार्ः। त्वद्व्याख्या सिंहनादे सपदि ददृशिरे मायि गोमायवस्ते॥३१॥
Crying out in despair, filled with fear and helplessness, cut off by their own desires. Destroying the country, alas, the evil-minded quickly face destruction and the state of hope. Running with obscene conduct, false oaths, and curses, the auspicious and peaceful heroes. In the roar of your explanation like a lion, they were immediately seen as jackals in me.
त्रिष्वप्येवावतारेष्वरिभिरपघृणं हिंसितोनिविर्कारः। सवर्ज्ञः सवर्शक्तिः सकलगुणगणापूर्ण रूपप्रगल्भः। स्वच्छः स्वच्छंद मृत्युः सुखयसि सुजनं देवकिं चित्रमत्र। त्राता यस्य त्रिधामा जगदुतवशगं किंकराः शंकराद्याः॥३२॥
In all three incarnations, though mercilessly harmed by enemies, you remain unchanged, omniscient, omnipotent, full of virtues, bold in form, pure, and free-willed. You bring joy to the good people, O Lord. What is surprising in this? You are the protector whose three abodes have the world under control, with servants like Shankara.
उद्यन्मंदस्मित श्रीमृर्दु मधुमधुरालाप पीयूषधारा। पूरासेकोपशांता सुखसुजन मनोलोचना पीयमानं। संद्रक्ष्येसुंदरं संदुहदिह महदानंदं आनंदतीथर्। श्रीमद्वक्तेंद्रु बिंबं दुरतनुदुदितं नित्यदाहं कदानु॥३३॥
When will I see the beautiful, gentle smile, soft and sweet melodious speech like a stream of nectar, calming the overflow of happiness in the minds and eyes of good people, and experience the great bliss here, like a pilgrimage to eternal joy, reflected in the glorious moon-like face, which is not yet risen from afar?
प्राचीनाचीणर् पुण्योच्चय चतुरतराचारतश्चारुचित्तान्। अत्युच्चां रोचयंतीं शृतिचित वचनांश्राव कांश्चोद्यचुंचून्। व्याख्यामुत्खात दुःखां चिरमुचित महाचायर् चिंतारतांस्ते। चित्रां सच्छास्त्रकतार्श्चरण परिचरां छ्रावयास्मांश्चकिंचित्॥३४॥
The ancient wise ones, with a virtuous accumulation, are more skillful by conduct and have charming minds. They delight in very high knowledge and the words they hear, with some rising. Their explanations excavate sorrow for a long time, and they are appropriate great teachers engaged in thought. They are wonderful true scripture makers, serving as a refuge, and they make us hear something.
पीठेरत्नोकपक्लृप्ते रुचिररुचिमणि ज्योतिषा सन्निषण्णम्। ब्रह्माणं भाविनं त्वां ज्वलति निजपदे वैदिकाद्या हि विद्याः। सेवंते मूतिर्मत्यः सुचरितचरितं भाति गंधवर् गीतं। प्रत्येकं देवसंसत्स्वपि तव भघवन्नतिर्तद्द्योवधूषु॥३५॥
Seated on a throne adorned with jewels, you shine with the light of beautiful and lustrous gems. The future Brahman, you illuminate your own realm. The Vedic sciences indeed serve you, and beings of good conduct and character shine with fragrance and song. In every assembly of gods, O Lord, your truth is profoundly present among the celestial maidens.
सानुक्रोषैरजस्रं जनिमृति निरयाद्यूमिर्मालाविलेऽस्मिन्। संसाराब्धौनिमग्नांशरणमशरणानिच्छतो वीक्ष्यजंतून्। युष्माभिः प्राथिर्तः सन् जलनिधिशयनः सत्यवत्यां महषेर्ः। व्यक्तश्चिन्मात्र मूतिर्नखलु भगवतः प्राकृतो जातु देहः॥३६॥
With eternal compassion, seeing the helpless creatures immersed in the ocean of birth, death, hell, and other sufferings, you all prayed for the Lord, who sleeps on the ocean, to manifest in the form of pure consciousness in Satyavati, the great sage, for he is not indeed a material body.
अस्तव्यस्तं समस्तशृति गतमधमैः रत्नपूगं यथांधैः। अथर्ं लोकोपकृत्यैः गुणगणनिलयः सूत्रयामास कृत्स्नम्। योऽसौ व्यासाभिधानस्तमहमहरहः भक्तितस्त्वत्प्रसादात्। सद्यो विद्योपलब्ध्यै गुरुतममगुरुं देवदेवं नमामि॥३७॥
I bow daily with devotion to Vyasa, the greatest teacher and god of gods, who, by your grace, immediately composed the entire meaning of all Vedas for the benefit of the world, like a heap of jewels disordered by the blind.
आज्ञामन्यैरधायार्ं शिरसि परिसरद्रश्मि कोटीरकोटौ। कृष्णस्याक्लिष्ट कर्मादधदनु सराणादथिर्तो देवसङ्घैः। भूमावागत्य भूमन्नसुकरमकरोब्रर्ह्मसूत्रस्य भाष्यम्। दुभार्ष्यं व्यास्यदस्योमर्णिमत उदितं वेदसद्युक्तिभिस्त्वम्॥३८॥
The command placed by others on the head, surrounded by rays on the peak of the crown, Krishna's unwearied action performed after crossing from the lake by the assembly of gods. Having arrived on the earth, O great one, you accomplished the difficult task of writing the commentary on the Brahma Sutras, which is difficult to understand, expounded with brilliance, and spoken by the wise with logic.
भूत्वाक्षेत्रे विशुद्धे द्विजगणनिलये रौप्यपीठाभिधाने। तत्रापि ब्रह्मजातिस्त्रिभुवन विशदे मध्यगेहाख्य गेहे। पारिव्राज्याधि राजः पुनरपि बदरीं प्राप्य कृष्णं च नत्वा। कृत्वा भाष्याणि सम्यक् व्यतनुत च भवान् भरताथर्प्रकाशम्॥३९॥
In the pure land named Raupyapīṭha, which is the abode of the twice-born, there was a Brahmin of the Madhyageha family. The king of ascetics, having reached Badarī again and having bowed to Krishna, properly composed commentaries and spread the light of Bharata.
वंदे तं त्वां सुपूर्ण प्रमतिमनुदिना सेवितं देववृन्दैः। वंदे वंदारुमीशे श्रिय उत नियतं श्रीमदानंदतीथर्म्। वंदे मंदाकिनी सत्सरिदमल जलासेक साधिक्य सङ्गम्। वंदेऽहं देव भक्त्या भव भय दहनं सज्जनान्मोदयंतम्॥४०॥
I offer my salutations to you, who is perfect and worshipped daily with great reverence by the assemblies of gods. I bow to the lord of devotees, to prosperity, and to the ever-revered Ananda Tirtha. I bow to the Ganges, the pure river, where the abundant waters meet. With devotion, I bow to the Lord, who destroys the fear of worldly existence and brings joy to the virtuous.
सुब्रह्मण्याख्य सूरेः सुत इति सुभृशं केशवानंदतीथर्। श्रीमत्पादाब्ज भक्तः स्तुतिमकृत हरेवार्युदेवस्य चास्य। त्वत्पादाचार्दरेण ग्रथित पदल सन्मालया त्वेतयाये। संराध्यामूनमंति प्रततमतिगुणा मुक्तिमेते व्रजंति॥४१॥
Keshavananda Tirtha, known as the son of the sage Subrahmanya, greatly devoted to the revered lotus feet, composed a praise for Hari and Aryadeva. Through the conduct of your feet, adorned with a beautiful garland of words, those who worship and bow down with great virtues attain liberation and proceed on their path.
इति श्री त्रिविक्रमपण्डिताचायर् विरचितं श्री हरिवायुस्तुतिः संपूर्णम्
Thus ends the revered Hari Vayu Stuti composed by the esteemed scholar and teacher Trivikrama Panditacharya.
॥अथ श्री नखस्तुतिः॥
Now begins the glorious praise of the nails.
पान्त्वस्मान् पुरुहूतवैरि बलवन्मातङ्ग माद्यद्घटा। कुंभोच्चाद्रि विपाटनाधिकपटु प्रत्येक वज्रायिताः। श्रीमत्कंठीरवास्य प्रतत सुनखरा दारितारातिदूर। प्रद्ध्वस्तध्वांत शांत प्रवितत मनसा भावितानाकिवृंदैः॥१॥
May the mighty elephants, intoxicated and powerful, protect us. They are like jars, each resembling thunderbolts, skilled in splitting high mountains. With their beautiful nails, they tear enemies apart from afar, dispelling darkness and spreading peace, contemplated by the groups of gods with their minds.
लक्ष्मीकांत समंततोऽपिकलयन् नैवेशितुस्ते समम्। पश्याम्युत्तम वस्तु दूरतरतोपास्तं रसोयोऽष्टमः। यद्रोशोत्कर दक्ष नेत्र कुटिलः प्रांतोत्थिताग्नि स्फुरत्। खद्योतोपम विस्फुलिङ्गभसिता ब्रह्मेशशक्रोत्कराः॥२॥
I see the lord of Lakshmi, who, considering everything around, has no equal. From afar, I perceive an excellent entity worshipped, the eighth essence of iron. It is a heap of anger, with capable eyes and a crooked edge, where fire arises and shines. Like a firefly, it is covered with ashes, resembling heaps of Brahma, Isha, and Indra.
इति श्रीमदानंदतीथर्भगवत्पादाचायर्विरचितं श्रीनृसिंहनखस्तुतिः संपुर्णम्॥
Thus ends the complete praise of Lord Narasimha's nails, composed by the revered teacher Ānandatīrtha.
भारतीरमणमुख्यप्राणांतर्गत श्रीकृष्णापर्णमस्तु॥
May this be an offering to Lord Krishna, who embodies the essence of Sarasvati and Rama, and is the chief life force.
