Srimad Narayaneeyam – Kuchelopakhyanam – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||











Oh! Bhagavan, there was a Bhramin named Kuchela who was your fellow disciple in the hermitage of Sage Sandheepani, he was totally devoted you and he was completely free from desires for wealth, he was a virtuous Grihashrami , his wife was equally chaste and righteous like him, but she has not attained controlled mind like him, hence she inquired her husband why should not he approach Ramapathi who is the consort of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi and a great associate of her husband for some financial assistance, eventually he set off to your palace out of intense eagerness to meet you after several years, he had least interest in acquiring wealth though he was going through  extreme poverty, he carried a handful of fluffy rice as offering to you and he  packed it safely in his worn out clothes.  Finally he reached in your glorious city, he was in a state of ecstasy after witnessing the splendor of your house, it has the resemblance to supreme abode Sri Vaikundham to him, and he was received with great honor and love.  You have received him inside your palace with great respect and admiration, Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi fanned him, you have held his hand with great affection and recollected some of the cherish-able moments in the hermitage, like their expedition to wood to collect some wood at the instruction of the wife of preceptor, later both of you were caught in a heavy downpour in the wood.  Kuchela was extremely shy to offer the flattened rice he had brought with him, therefore you have snatched from him and filled in your mouth, when you were about to repeat the same, Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi intervened and held your hand with a purpose, Kuchela who is greatest among devotees of you stayed in your city that night with great joy, next day he left your city without asking for any wealth, you always have a strange way to bless your devotees.   Kuchela immersed in various thoughts while returning from your place, he recollected most joyous moments with you that made him smile,  ‘If I have asked for wealth, Achyutha must have definitely offered the same.  What did I tell to my wife?’, eventually he reached in a magnificent home decorated with precious gems that spreads intense luster, he was utterly puzzled and thought that he had lost his way to home, immediately he saw his wife decorated in various precious ornaments and finest jewels, waiting for him, she was surrounded by several ladies who are all attired in finest garments.  Kuchela instantly realized the mysterious grace and compassion of you.  He lived in the greatest mansion decked in gem and grew most passionate devotee of you, he immersed in the nectar like devotion and finally as he was desired, he attained liberation at the lotus feet you. Oh! Maruthpuradheesha, kindly eradicate our  illnesses.
