Thanks a lot sir

Could someone kindly help me with the meaning

[smala]

Perhaps Keerthi or CML can help with this one?

[smala]

Knock Knock....anybody there to decode this one?

[keerthi]

will try, S-P.. are there any particular caranam-s that you are interested in..?

[Lakshman]

Here is the translation from B.Natarajan's book:

P: Oh companion, look for Madhava, our lord and companion of Radha, again and again, in the forest of the scriptures
C1: He has to be sought, closely following on his heels, (step by step) (only) in the branches (of the Vedas) that yield all the fruit (one could wish for); invisible and endless, he can very rarely be experienced in privacy and in His own abode, by doers of good deeds alone
2: While he is at an enormous distance from (most of) the universe, yet by His nature He is within (all). He is the origin of (elements such as) the sky. The goal (the essence) of the scriptures, He can be reached and experienced only by the single minded. He has no beginning.
3: He is Himself true knowledge. He permeates and governs all beings. He is free from desire. He is difficult to get at merely through (the senses such as) the eyes and ears or words. He is extremely inaccessible to those who have done no good deeds.
4: He is infinite (lit. endless), and, far as the mind may run (in search of him), even farther does he move away. He is the Lord of Lords, and, within this unfragmented, conscious self, pervades the interior and exterior of all beings.
5: He is the origin (lit. primary cause) of all the elements. One who realizes by the grace of the Supreme Soul that all is within himself, is able to rapidly cross the great ocean of sorrow, ridding himself of the pride which afflicts man
6: The world moves on but he is immovable. He has placed the whole universe in his stretched mouth. He controls this illusory world created by him. He is unique and whole (unfragmented).
7: Those with evil minds (lit. with minds of asuras) like him not and he is very difficult for them to reach. While the scriptures praise him as the Suporeme Being and one totally informed with infinite bliss, the ones who would ‘kill’ their souls praise him not.
8: His body ha sthe radiance of the petals of the blue lily. When the single-minded ones contemplate on Him, He assumes a form. Free from delusion (infatuation) Himself, He has taken away the sorrow of the Gopa women, out of extreme compassion
9: He is the adornment of the highest reaches of the scriptures. He is without a second (peerless). He has a quality of being dear to those passionately engaged in spiritual matters. Krishna is blemishless. He is sung by Narayana Tirtha, the foe of Mura.

Thanks a ton, Lakshmanji, a savior, always.

Thanks Keerthi for the offer, Lakshmanji's recent post will save you the effort.
