stavyah stavapriyah stotram stutih stotaa ranapriyah
poornah poorayitaa punyah punyakeertiranaamayah679. Stavyah – “One Who is the object of all praise”-meaning, One Who deserves all our praise but One who has none top praise, he is praised by all and he praises none. The jeeva invokes him; the self, the atman, never invokes the ignorant jeeva.
680. Stava-priyah – One who is invoked through the loving chants of the devoted hearts. When a devoted seeker melts away in singing the praise of the lord, his physical, mental and intellectual preoccupations with objects, emotions and thoughts silently roll away from him. In such quiet moments they rise above their present nature and explode into the realms of experiences of the higher state of divine consciousness – Sree Narayana.
681. Stotram – “The hymn.” A glorious hymn, that describes the lords divine nature, itself is He, as the words lift the singer into the experience of the supreme nature of the truth. It is infallible if the singer of the Hymn has full devotion and ardent aspiration to realise him. “Naama” and “Naamee” are one and the same in experience.
682. Stutih – “The act of praise.” The very noble, divine “act of invoking the lord” is by His grace alone.
683. Stotaa – “One who adores or praises.” The true devotee, singing the divine hymns is also of the nature of supreme peace, love, beauty, goodness - the divine qualities attributed to the lord in whom he dissolves through his songful identification. Such a devotee in this at–one–ment with Him, the lord praises again and again as “He is the one dear to Me.”
684. Rana-priyah – “Lover of Battles.” Hence we see sree Narayana ever carrying his mace and discuss in order to destroy the vulgar and thus protect the decent. Here “battle” is the constant struggle for evolution.
685. Poornah – “The Full.” The infinite is ever the same. Though things are apparently emerging out of it, still the supreme remains irreducible and without a change. Lord Narayana is Ever-Full with is own glories and powers; One who is full with all the wealth, inner and outer, the supreme lakshmi-pati.
686. Poorayitaa – “The Fulfiller.” Lord Hari fulfils, surely, all the desires and demands of his true devotees.
687. Punyah – “The truly–Holy.” When the devotee’s heart is filled with remembrance of the glorious from divine and infinite nature and supreme of the lord Vishnu, he then, in that very moment, removes all sin from his devotee’s heart. The lord is Auspiciousness itself, so where he is invoked, all inauspiciousness must immediately retire.
688. Punya-keertih – “Of Holy frame.” He is gloriously renowned as the holy one. Whoever glorifies him becomes himself holy. All the unholy animal passions in the devotee are routed and beaten back when his heart is wholly in tune with the lord’s Glory and Form.
689. Anaamayah – One who has neither the mental or physical diseases. Of pure unstained divine essence is his nature. He is not involved in karmas, thus the resultant of the karmas which visit us in terms of mental restlessness or physical pangs, never touch Him.
