अजो महार्हः स्वाभाव्यो जितामित्रः प्रमोदनः ।
आनंदो नंदनो नंदः सत्यधर्मा त्रिविक्रमः ।।
524. Ajaḥ:
A +ja means no birth. He is ajah because he has no birth or death
Na jayate iti ajah
Akaara vachyataya jatah
The sound 'A' signifies Mahavishnu. The first letter of the primordial
pranava mantra AUM stands for Vishnu.
Ajati iti ajah
He is responsible for destroying the enemies hence he is ajah.
525. Mahārhaḥ:
He who is fit for worship for any occasion is
Maharhav.
Maham pujanam arhati iti maharhah
There is no one else who is fit for worship or
maha puja except him.
Hence our surrender is also unto him.
526. Svābhāvyaḥ:
Being eternally perfect He is naturally without
a beginning.
Svabhavena eva abhavyah nitya nish
He has permanent glory or nitya nishpanna.
He is eternal and thus he has no beginning. He
is omnipresent.
527. Jitāmitraḥ:
Jita + amitra
One who has conquered the inner enemies like attachment, anger, etc. as
also external enemies too.
Avidya, kama, and karma are the three enemies. And they are present in
three different roopas in our body.
Avidya is seated in karana sharira
Kama is seated in sookhsma sharira
Karma is seated in sthoola sharira
First avidya or ignorance must be destroyed through knowledge or jnana,
then it destroys kama or desires then the karma will be destroyed.
528. Pramōdanaḥ:
Modanah means pleasure
He is always joyous as He is absorbed in
immortal Bliss.
Pramodam karoti iti pramodnah
He fills the minds of the jivatma who has
conquered these 3 amitras with joy and bliss. The lord gives supreme bliss or
brahma anandam to the liberated souls and gives them moksha.
Dhyayinaam dhyanamatrena pramodam kaorti iti
He bestows pleasure to those who meditate on
him through the act of meditation hence he is pramodanah.
529. Ānandaḥ:
His nature or form is Ananda or Bliss. He
himself is pure joy.
Ananda svaroopam asya iti anandah
The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad says that other
beings enjoy only a part of the total happiness.
Aanam (ana refers to mukhya prana; aanam refers
to that which comes from mukhya prana ie. granthas) + dah (to give)
He gives us the wisdom to understand the
knowledge of the Vedas and sashtras hence he is anandah.
530. Nandanaḥ:
He is the one who gives delight to everyone
around him.
Nandayati iti nandanah
His devotees experience bliss by meditating on
him.
He gives us the pure bliss which is free of the
accompanying grief.
531. Anandaḥ:
Aa +nandah (reduce or diminish) the pleasure
does not diminish.
He observes us enjoying and that itself it
brings him joy without actually enjoying anything himself.
It teaches us that if we are a witness only,
the joy last forever. If we are the enjoyer, the happiness does not last for
ever and is also followed by grief. It also tells us that pleasure arising from
sense organs is not the permanent happiness.
Sukham vaishayikam naasya vidyate iti anandah
532. Satyadharmā:
Sat + tyat + dharma
He guides this body made of panch butas – sat (that which is visible –
earth, water and fire) and tyat(that which is not visible – aakasha and vayu)
to the path of dharma
He is an embodiment of qualities such as truth and righteousness.
In the Bhagavad Gita 18.66, the lord says,
sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śharaṇaṁ vraja
ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣhayiṣhyāmi mā śhuchaḥ
Abandon all varieties of dharmas and simply
surrender unto me alone. I shall liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not
fear.
Satya (nirakaara nirguna) + dharma ( saguna)
533. Trivikramaḥ:
We have already seen this name of the Lord
which tells us how he conquered the entire universe in three strides.
Here it refers to conquering the three gunas and
become nistraigunya, as the Lord says in the Bhagavad Gita 2.45,
trai-gunya-visaya
veda nistraigunyo bhavarjuna
nirdvandvo
nitya-sattva-stho niryoga-ksema atmavan
He stands above everything, having conquered all the triads – the three
vedas (rig, yajur and sama), the three gunas (rajo, tamas, sattva), the three
states (childhood, youth and old age) , three kalas(bhuta, bhavishya,
vartamana) hence he is trivikramah.
It also refers to the avasthatraya or the three states or three fields
of experience ( jagruta, sushukta, svapna). Only when one goes beyond this one can
attain the turiya state of infinite consciousness and helps to realise the Lord
within.
Jai Shri Krishna!
