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.”
