Chapter – 215-  Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The significance of the ‘Sri Ramanama Smaran’– The eight kinds of supernatural powers and nine types of treasures of Kubera/Lord of Wealth

 

Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “ Oh! Prabho, Oh! Jagadheeshwar/Lord of the Universe and its living and non-living things, I have no wealth other than the recitation of your sacred names which is the fruit of all the piousness, If I leave that I would be worthless, after giving a thought for long, according to my intellect I have chosen the recitation of your sacred names. Oh! Prabho, I have chosen the recitation of ‘Sri Ramanama’ which is the essence of Veda, Shruthi, Smrithi, and sacred scriptures which is the life source of Santh, Mahathma, noble souls, etc. like the fishes that have no life without water.  Oh! Prabho, the Ashtasidhdhis/ the eight kinds of supernatural powers such as Anima/transforms the body into a minuscule form, Mahima/transforms the body into an incredibly large size, Garima/transforms the body into a supremely heavy, Laghima/transforms the body into supremely light, Ishithvam/ achieve the Lordship with the practice of austerities and penance,  Vasithvam/ possessing absolute control on the mind of another person by austerities, Prapthi/it is kind of practice to achieve access to all worlds and Prakamyam/the power to know the desires of another person, and Navanidhis such as the nine types of treasures known as  Mahapadmam,  Padmam, Sankham, Makaram, Kacchapam, Mukundam, Kundam, Neelam, Varam, the wealth and treasures of the deities /Lord Kubera achieved after severe austerities and penances are impermanent. Oh~! Prabho, the Bhramin Ajamila, Ganika/prostitute, Gheedh/Jatayu, Byadh/hunter, Nriga, etc. have committed several sins, achieved your grace, and eventually attained liberation from the sufferings of worldly existence. Oh! Prabho, you are the ocean of mercy, kindly provide the tiniest part of that grace upon me, so that I can get rid of the grief and sufferings of Samsarasagara and repeated births.”

 

Thumharau Nama Thaji Prabhu Jagadheesar Su Thau Kahau Mere Aur Kaha Bal? Budhi Bibeka Anuman Aapanau Sodhi Gahyau Sab Sukrithani Kau Phal || Bedh Purana Sumrithi Santhani Kau Yaha Aadhar Meena Kau Jyau Jal | Ashtasidhdhi Navanidhi Sura Sampathi Thuma Binu Thusa kan Kahau Na Kacchu Lala || Ajamila Ganika Ju Byadha Nriga  Jasau Jaladhi Thare Yeseau Khala | Soyi Prasadh Surahi Ab Dheejai Nahi Bahuth Thau Anth Yek Pala ||
