Planets and Srivaishnavism - suitable small prayers to nine incarnation to solve problems due to planets

Planets  and Srivaishnavism - suitable small prayers  to nine incarnation  to solve problems  due to planets

Compiled by

P.R.Ramachander

   As per the principles enunciated in Sri Vaishnavism, the Sri Vaishnavites   do not worship planets. My learned friend Sri Vasu Iyengar in a facebook post under the title “Navadgraham in SriVaishnavism”  has given this  Sloka from Bruhat Parasara  Hora Sashtra  which  guides  us as to which incarnation   we should worship  for pleasing the nine planets(Nava grahas) .He has also given detailed commentary for this sloka also. He has also suggested the  suitable manthras for chanting  to please each planet. While profusely thanking my friend , I am giving  below the sloka small  prayers to each of those avatharas to please them and thereby  the planets:-

रामोवतारः सूर्यस्य चन्द्रस्य यदुनायकः ।
नृसिंहो भूमिपुत्रस्य बुद्धः सोमसुतस्य च॥
वामनो विबुधेज्यस्य भार्गवो भर्गवस्य च ।
कूर्मो भास्करपुत्रस्य सैंहिकेयस्य सूकरः ॥
केतोर्मीनावतारश्च ये चान्ये तेऽपि खेटजाः ।
परात्मांशोधिको येषु ते सर्वे खेचराभिधाः ॥

Ramo avathara  Suryasya, Chandrasya yadhu Nayaka,

Nrusimho Bhoomiputhrasya, Budha  soma suthasya cha,

Vamano  vibudhejyasya, Bhargavo  Bhargavasya cha,

Koormo Bhaskara  puthrasya, saimhikeyasyasookara,

Kethor  meenavatharascha ya cha anye they api  khetajaa,

Parathmaamsodhiko  yeshu  they  sarve kecharaabhidhaa.

The incarnation of Rama is that  of the sun(surya),

The incarnation of Lord Krishna  is that of the moon(Chandra),

The incarnation of Narasimha is that  of Mars(Mangala) ,

Lord  Vishnu the wise  is that  of mercury(Budha)  ,

(The incarnation of Buddha  is that of mercury).

The incarnation   of Vamana  is that  of Jupiter(Guru),

The incarnation of Parasurama is that of Venus(Shukra),

The incarnation of  Tortoise  is that of Saturn(Sani) ,

The incarnation of  Varaha(boar)  is that of Rahu ,

The incarnation of  Mathsya(fish) is that  of Kethu,

And these  are all about  the birth as planets,

And if we  do research about truth ,

These   incarnations are the masters  of those  planets.

Those who read or hear these twelve names with devotion,

Get rid of the fear of fire in forest and battle field,

And Get rid of the effects of the sin of killing a Brahmin or a cow and drinking alcohol,

 5.Jupiter/Guru-Lord Vamana

                                   Vamana Stotram

                                (Prayer to Vamana)

                                                           Translated by

                                               P.R.Ramachander

(Though a Rakshasa, Mahabali was a benevolent emperor. But he usurped the Deva kingdom. Vishnu took the form of a young, dwarf, Brahmin boy called Vamana and requested for three steps of land as measured by his feet. In spite of his Guru’s opposition, Mahabali agreed. Vamana took the gigantic form of Trivikrama and measured all the three worlds, in two steps. Mahabali offered his head as a third step. Vamana then requested Mahabali to live for ever in Patala-the underworld. The people of Kerala believe that he visits them on their festival of Thiruonam and people of Karnataka believe that he visits them every year on the Bali Padyami.

   This is a very rare stotra, addressed to Lord Vamana.)

Yagnesa yagna purushachyutha theerthapada,

Theerthasrava sravana mangala namadheya,

Aapanna loka vrjinopasamodhayadhya,

Sam na krudheesa bhagawannasi dheena nadha.                1

Oh God who is the lord of the oppressed,

Who is the chief of Yagna*, who is Achyutha,

Of the form of Yagna, whose feet is the sacred waters,

Who is the entire holy waters, who is good to hear,

Who is interested in destroying sins of those who approach him,

And who is primeval, Please shower good things on us.

                      *Fire sacrifice

Viswaya viswabhavana sthithi samyamaya,

Swairam graheetha puru shakthi gunaya bhoomne,

Swasthaya saswad upa  braamhitha punya bhodham,

Vyapadhithathma thamase haraye namasthe.                          2

Salutations to the Hari, who is the universe,

Who does creation, upkeep and destruction of the universe,

Who is responsible for the illusion and in spite is in a stable form,

Who by the permanent luster of  the total knowledge,

Does not give way,  to darkness in his soul.

Aayu param vapurabheeshtamathulya lakshmeer,

Dhyobhoorasa sakala yoga gunasthrivarga,

Jnanam cha kevalamanantha, bhavathi thushta,

Thwatho nrunaam kimu swapatna jayadhirasi.                         3

If you are pleased oh God, we will be allotted,

The full life span of Brahma, any type of body,

That we want, countless wealth ,

Control over the three worlds and all sorts of wealth,

And would you not bless us  with a simple  victory over enemy?

 6.Venus/Shukra( Lord Parasurama)

Parasurama Stotram

                     (Prayer to Lord Parasurama)

                                            Translated by

                                         P.R.Ramachander

(Lord Parasurama was an avatar of Vishnu. He was armed an axe (parasu) in his hand. He was the son of Sage Jamadagni and Renuka. He beheaded his mother at the command of his father. Later as per his request Jamadagni gave back her life. To avenge Karthaveeryarjuna’s son’s who killed his parents, he killed 27 generations of Kshatriyas. With the Ramavatara his role came to an end. To wash of his sins in killing the Kshatriyas, he gave all the land he won in charity. So he had to leave the then existing land masses. To continue living, he threw his axe and raised the present day Kerala. He is supposed to live there even today and this land is called Parasuramakshethra. It seems that, it has been practice in Kerala in ancient days to sing this prayer to Parasurama, before starting any religious rites)

Devam naumi remapathim , ranapatum, bhaswath kireedanchitham,

Kodandam  sasaram karena dhadhatham vamena chanyena cha,

Aartha thrana patum kutarasamatham kanda chidham bhasuram,

Smasru prasphurithananam sura thanum Ramam sada saswatham.                1

I salute that Rama with an axe,

Who is being saluted by devas,

Who is the consort of Lakshmi,

Who is expert in fighting in war,

Who shines due to his crown,

Who holds Kodanda in his right hand,

And arrows in his left hand,

Which are capable of saving the oppressed,

Who is armed with the terrible white axe,

Who is effulgent with light,

And who has a well proportioned heavenly body,

Brahma kshatravapurdhara smitha mukho rajanyakaalanalo,

Bribrana parasum karena tharuna pradhyothnodath prabha,

Vidhyuth pingalatha jatavalaya vanaschadayan valkalam,

Jeeyadhujjwala  yagna suthra mahitho ramaschiram bhargava.                                2

Victory to that Bhargava Rama,

Who has a laughing face of Brahmin as well as Kshatriya,

Who is the great fire which destroyed the clan of kings,

Who held the terrible axe in his hand,

Who shined like the rising sun,

Who had  very electrifying matted locks,

Who dressed himself using the bark of trees,

And who was famous as the one

Who knows the holy chants of Yagna.

7.Saturn-Sani-Incarnation  as Kurma/Turtle

Kurma Stotram
(Prayer to the incarnation of Tortoise)

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(Koorma (Tortoise) is the second incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He took this incarnation to help devas to act as the base for the mandhara mountain which was used to churn the ocean. This rare stotra is taken from a very dilapidated Malayalam stotra book, whose name or publishers are not known to me.)

Namami they deva padaravindam,
Prapanna thapopa samatha pathram,
Yan moola hethou yathayo agna soru,
Samsara dukham Bahiruthkshi panthi. 1

Oh God I salute your lotus like feet,
Which is like an umbrella preventing heat,
Due to its basic reason the learned sages,
Get rid of the sorrows of this world from their mind.

Dhathar dasmin bhava eesa jeevaa,
Sthapathrayeno apahathaa na sarma,
Aathmam labhanthe bhagavamsthvangri,
Cchayaam sa vidhyamara maasreyama. 2

Oh God, please give me relief from the sorrows,
As I will take rest in the shades of your feet,
As no being gets relieved of the three types of suffering,
And these type of sufferings do not come near your feet.

Marganthi yathe mukha padma needai,
Chandha suparnaryashayo vivikthe,
Yasyaghamarshodha saridhwaraya,
Pade padam theertha padam prapanna. 3

Yach sradhaya srutha vathya cha bhakthya,
Samsrujy mane hrudhaye vadhaya,
Jnanena vairagya balena dheera,
Vrujema thathengri Saroja peetam. 4

Oh God , Guided by the birds called Vedas,
Which are used to live in your lotus like face,
Is your holy divine lotus like feet,
Which is searched in solitude by he sages,
Which makes them live in the shores of sacred rivers,
And which they establish in their mind,
By the use of devotion and attention,
As well as which they establish in their heart,
Using the path of wisdom and renunciation,
And we completely surrender to it.

Viswasya janma sthithi samyamarthe,
Krutha avatharasya padambhujam they,
Vrujema sarve saranam yadheesa,
Smrutham prayachathya bhayam swapumsam. 5

For the sake of creation , upkeep and destruction,
Of the world is the incarnation that you took,
And we all surrender to your lotus like feet,
For meditating on it , gives protection to devotees.

Yasyanu bandhe asathi deha gehe,
Mamaha mithyooda duragrahaanaam,
Pumsaam sudhooram vasatho vipuryaam,
Bhajema thathe Bhagawan padabhjam. 6

The man who does not think about you,
Is wrongly too much attached to body, home and self,
And so we are saluting the lotus like feet,
Which exists very , very far away.

Panena they deva kadha sudhaya,
Pravrudha bhakthyaa visa daasayaa ye,
Vairagya saram prathilabhya bodham,
Yadhaanjasanveeyura kunta dhishnyam. 7

Due to the large amount of devotion ,
Some people with a pure heart ,
Hearing your nectar like story ,
Receive great wisdom by renunciation,
And suddenly get that destruction less state.

Thadhapare chathma Samadhi yoga,
Balena jithwa prakruthim balishtaam,
Thwameva dheeraa pursha visanthi,
THesham srama syanna thu sevaya they. 8

Like that others who are very wise,
By the strength of their Athma Samadhi,
Win over the very strong illusion,
And attain you and do not find it difficult.

Thathe vayam loka si sraksha yadhya,
Thwa yanu srushta sthribhirathmabhi sma,
Sarve viyukthaa swa vihara thanthram,
Na saknumasthath prathiharthave they. 9

Thinking that we should serve you like that,
Possibly you have decided to ignore us,
Who have been created by you at the time.
Of creation by Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu,
And we are not able to understand your secret.

Yavad balim theja harama kale,
Yadhaa vayanjanna madhama yathra,
Thadho bhayeshaam tha imehi lokaa,
Balim haranthonna madanthya nooha. 10

Oh God we are providing you with the sacrifice,
And telling your name eat food,
And similarly the ordinary people give you sacrifice,
And eat the food after offering it to you.

Thwam na surname asi saanwayaanaam,
Kootastha aadhya puusha Purana,
Thwam deva shakthyaam guna karma yonow,
Rethsthwajayam kavi rathatheja. 11

Oh God you are the protector of all devas,
You are stable, the first primeval one ,
You are the power of devas ,
You are the birth place and result of everything,
And you have taken up yourself the job of care of the universe,
And for that you have deposited your male power.

Ththo vayam sath pramukhayathathe ,
Bhaboovimathman karavama kim they,
Thwam na swachakshu paridehi shakthya,
Deva kriyatrha yadanugrahaanaam. 12

Oh God what should we the sages do,
To get good results of our intentions,
Please give us the capacity ,
To obey the directions of your blessed sight.

8.Kethu  -Mathsya(fish)  incarnation

And I would like to know ,what is the necessity of your real form.

Na they aravindaksha , padhopasarpanam,

Mrusha bhaveth sarva suhruth priyathmana,

Yadatharesham pradagathmanam satha,

Madheedruso yadwapraadhbhutham na.                                                              4

Is it not a fact , lotus eyed Lord ,

Who is the friend and relation of all,

That total surrender to your feet is never useless,

For you showed your wonderful form,

To the great sages as well as humble devotees like us.

9.Rahu –Varaha/Boar  incarnation

Yagna  Varaha Murthi Sthuthi

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(Hiranyaksha a very powerful Asura stole the earth and hid himself along with it inside the sea. Lord Vishnu took the form of a boar  with a very huge form and went inside the sea. He killed Hiranyaksha and brought back the earth. The sages assembled there praised him by this prayer which occurs in the third Skanda and in the thirteenth chapter in slokas 33-44. Here Varaha is described as the form of Yagna and his body parts are identified with the various articles  used in the Yagna. I am absolutely unfamiliar with the names of the articles. Also the Sanskrit used is really tough to understand. With a view to high light,  the meaning of this prayer, I have used the translation of this work by Sri C. l.Goswami , in his translation of Bhagwatha , which was published by Gita press Gorakhpur. I have written what I understood from the text as well as the above translation , in my own words adopting my own style.)

The rishir Uvacha:-

1.Jitham jitham  the jitha yagna bhavana,

Thrayeem thanum swam paridhunvathe nama,

Yad roma gartheshu nilil yoora dwaraa,

Thamai nama karana sookaraaya they.

The sages told:-

Victory, victory to you oh great Lord  who is the promoter of Yagnas,

We salute you even when you shake  your gross divine body,

Which consists  of the three Vedas, we Bow to you, Oh God,

In the form of a boar  in whose hair pores all yagnas(sacrifice rituals)  exist.

2.Roopam thai thannanu  dush kruthathmanam,

Doordarsanam deva yadadhwarathmakam,

Chandhamsi yasya twachi barhi roma,

Khaajyam drusi thwan angrishu chathur hothram.

Oh God, This form of yours  made up  of the sacrifices and rites,

Cannot be seen by the evil minded ones,

And also the various meters of  the four Vedas,

Find a place in your skin , the kusa grass in your hair  bristles,

The Ghee in your eyes and the four priests on your four legs.

3.Srukthunda aassi sruva eesa naasayoridodhare chamasa karna ranthre,

Prasithra maasye rasane grahasthuthe yach charvanam they bhagwan agnihothram.

The big  ladle (sruk)for pouring ghee in to the fire  is in your snout,

The small ladle (sruva) to pour ghee in to the big one , Oh God,

Is located in your nostrils, the plate where food is kept(ida),

For offering in fire exists inside your belly,

The vessel from which Soma is drunk (chamsas)is in your ears,

The vessel in which the share to Brahma(prasitra) is offered is in your mouth,

And the ladles used to take out Soma(grahas)  from big vessel is in your throat,

And the act of your chewing oh Lord is the real fire sacrifice.
