nAma 612. ïId> SrI dah
The Giver of Glories.
SrI-dAya namh.
[ PLEASE ADD PRANAVAM BEFORE EACH NAAMA ]
As mentioned in the beginning of the explanation for nAma 608,
SrI BhaTTar continues to interpret the nAma-s up to 619 in terms of
bhagavAn's inseparable association with pirATTi. For the current nAma, his
explanation is that bhagavAn is the Giver of glory to lakshmi in the form of
supreme love which is eternal, fresh, and spontaneous. The SrI that He gives
lakshmi is makes her declare "agalagillEn iRaiyum" (SrI v. v. rAmAnujan).
SrI bhaTTar's vyAkhyAnam is: nitya nUtana, nir-vyAja praNaya rasa Sriyam
tasyai dadAti iti SrI-dah. That is to say, He is Her life itself. He gives
references to:
1. SrI vishNu purANam 1. 9. 144 vishNoreshA anapAyinI - She is ever
inseparable from vishNu;
2. yuddha kANDam 121. 19 - ananyA hi mayA sItA bhAskareNa prabhA
yathA - (rAma's words) - SitA cannot be without Me even as the Sun
and its luster cannot be separated from each other;
3. sundara KANDam 21. 15 - (SitA's words) - ananyA rAghaveNAham
bhAskareNa prabhA yathA - Just as radiance cannot be separated from
the Sun, I cannot be separated from rAma.
If SrI is taken to mean wealth, then the interpretation is that He is the Giver
of wealth to His devotees. This is SrI Samkara's vyAkhyAnam - Sriyam dadAti
