Om Namasivaya Nama:

Chapter 13 – Vibhudhi Visthara Marga Bhedha Samarasyam
Naama Manthram: 533-988 (455 Mantras)

This is the biggest Chapter in Sri Lalitha Sahasranam. Vasinyaadi Vagdevis praising Sri Lalithambika and her divine play more elaborative way. The divine mother who protects, nourishes, punish, bless as well as showing the easiest way to achieve liberation. It is said that there are 5 types of Moksha / Mukti – Liberation viz: Salokhyam, Sameepyam, Saroopyam. Sayoojyam and Kaivalyam. All these paths are achievable if we follow Divine Mother’s instruction with innocent devotion.

There are three important Devis who grant the best for devotees known as Karma Phalam (Rewards). According to Karma Kandam in Vedas – Yaag, Yagna and its Rewards are important for all superior class births that include Devas, Dhanavas, Asuras, Yakshas and Humans etc. These Devis are known as Swaha, Swadha & Dakshina.

In any Manthra Prayog, one must conclude the Manthra with one of the 8 important concluding Manthra known as Hoom, Phat, Hoom-Phat, Voushad, Vashad, Swaha, Swadha and Nama: for the desired Rewards.

All Deva’s (Divine celestial personalities) Yaagas conducted without saying Swaha at the end, the desired result cannot be achieved. Even if you don’t say the full Devatha Manthra yet by saying Swaha at the end can give the best results, likewise, for all Pithrus (Ancestors Clan Celestial Personalities – Who grant blessings especially Progency to the worshippers) Yagna, specific Manthras must chant by saying Swadha.

For every action, everyone expects a Reward and that Reward is granted by Dakshina Devi. At the beginning of Pradhama Srushti (Frist creation), Lord Brahma created 7 Pithru Devatas. They are 2 sets viz: 4 Moothri Swaroopas (Forms) Agnishwathar, Barhisathar, Soman and Yaman. The 3 Thejo Swaroopas (Self Illuminating Vital Powers) are Analan, Dhyoman and Aaryama.

Swaha Devi is the consort of Agni Deva and their children are Daakshinam, Garhapathyam and Aavahaneeyam.

Moola Manthram: Om Hrim Srim Vahnijaayayai Dhevyai Swaha:

Dhyana Sthothram:

Swaham Manthramga Yuktham Cha Manthrasiddhi Swaroopinim

Sidham Cha Sidhidhanrunaam Karmanam Phaladham Subham

Swadha Devi appeared before Brahma due to his penance for solving Pithru Ganas sorrows. Just by saying Swadha three times a day one gets the Rewards of conducting Srardham, Pinda Bhali and Tharpanam which are the main components of Parvana Homa Srardham to Pithrus (Ancestors).

Moola Manthram: Om Hrim Srim Klim Swadha Dhevyai Swaha:

Dhyana Sthothram:

Brahmano Maansim Kanyaam Saswal Susthira Yauvvanam

Poojyam-Vai Pithru Dhevanam Sradhanam Phaladham Bhaje

Dakshina Devi (Poorvasrama Naamam Susila Devi in Goloka) is the consort of Yagnesan and their child is Phaladhan. It is mandatory that after the completion of any auspicious rituals the Kartha (Master/Conductor) must offer Dakshina (Compliment in Cash or Kind) to the Priest, as prescribed in the Sasthras, then only the Kartha will get the full desired rewards of the function. The best days to conduct her Pooja (worship) is on the Krishna Paksha Thrayodasi of Saradh Ridhu (Thula & Vruschika Months) and also on the Srardham/Thidhi Day. Shodasa (16 services) Upachara Pooja to be conducted for her blessings.

Moola Manthram: Om Srim Klim Hrim Dakshinaayai Swaha:

Dhyana Sthothram:

Lakshmim Dhakshaamsa Sambhutham Dakshinam Kamalam Kalaam

Sarva Karma Sudhakshajgna Phadham Sarvakarmanaam

Vishonoo: Sakthi Swaroopancha Poojitham Vandhitham Subham

Sudhidham Sudharoopanchaha Susilaam Subhadham Bhaje.

Anyone who forgot to offer the respectable amount of Dakshina to the Priest, the desired Rewards will go to Mahabhali’s Account. This privilege was offered to Mahabhali by Lord Vishnu during his Vaamana Avatar when he was descended to Pathala Lok.

In this context, I would like to add a few more points of Mahabhali’s free benefits received from the rituals conducted by people without following the rules and regulations of the Yag & Yagna. They are:

1 1. Offering Srardha Bhojanam to a Vedha Rahitha Brahmanan (The Brahmana who does not know Vedas or not conducting regular Sandhya Vandhan). Please note in Sandhya Vandhan more than 50% of the Manthras are from different Vedas, hence he is a Vedagnan).

2. Offerings are given to needy without devotion and humble attitude. (People those who gift/offer for name sake, publicity and tax benefits will fall under this scheme!)

3. Husband of a Soodrah Sthri (Any immoral women) who conducts any type of Pooja on behalf of his master.

4. Afflicted or Immoral Brahmanan / Acharyan who conducts Yag & Yagna.

5. Those who do any Karma (Work) without showing compassion, guru bhakti and suchithwam (Neat and Purity).
