PHALA SRUTHI Hayagreeva Uvaacha ——―Hayagreeva says‖ 1. Iteedam Tae Mayaakhyaatam Devyaanaama Satatrayam Rahasyaati Rahasyatvaad Gopaneeyam Mahaa Munae. I have been ordained by Lalithambika to reveal these sacred secret namas to you. Oh! Great sage keep them in utmost secrecy. 2. Sivavarnaani Naamaani Sreedevee Kathitaani Vai Saktyaksharaani Naamaani Kaamaesa Kathitaani Hi. The letters of Siva were told by Shakthi and the letters of Shakthi were told by Lord Kameshwara. 3. Ubhyaakshara Naamaani Hyubhaabhyaam Kathitaani vai Tadanyair Grathitam Stotra Maetasya Sadrusam Kimu. The mantras starting with the Ubhayatmaka Hreem, which is common to both Lord Kameswara and kameswari were told by themselves. This stotram cannot be co mpared to any other stotram in the world. 4. Naanaena Sadrysam stotram Sreedevee Preetidaayakam Lokatrayaepi Kalyaanam Sambhavaen Naatra Samsayaha. There is no other stotram than this which is auspicious to Goddess Lalithambika in the three worlds. There is no doubt about this. Soota Uvaacha —— 5. Iti Hayamukhageetam Stotra Raajam Nisamya Pragalita Kalushobhooch Chitta Paryaapti Maetya Nijaguru Matha NatvaaKumbha Janmaa Taduktaehae Punaradhika Rahasyam Jnaatumaevam Jagaada. Hearing this sacred stotra from his Guru, sage Agasthya’s mind was highly satisfied and wanted to get more knowledge about this secretive and divine mantra. Agasthya Uvaacha —―Agasthya says‖ 6 & 7. Asvanana Mahaabhaaga Rahasyamapi Mae Vada Siva Varnaani Kaanyatra Shakthi Varnaani Kaani Hi Ubhayorapi Varnaani Kaani Mae Vada Daesika Iti Prushtah Kumbhajaena Hayagreevo Vadat Punaha. Sage Agasthya tell ―Oh! Lord Hayagreeva, the lucky one, in what you have explained to me, help me to distinguish between the the Aksharas(letters) of Siva and shakthi. W hat are the letters common to both of them? Even if it is a secret let me know.‖ So, when Sage Agasthya requested, the Lord started telling him the follwing lines.
Hayagreeva Uvaacha—— 8. Tava Gopyam Kimasteeha Saakshaadambaanu Saasanaat Idam Tvati Rahasyam Tae Vakshyaami Srunu Kumbhaja. Lord Hayagreeva replies, “Oh! Kumbha Muni there is nothing to hide from you. Devi herself appeared in person and ordained me to reveal it to you. I shall now reveal the ancient secret to you”. 9.Yaetad Vignyaana Maatraena Sreevidyaa Siddhidaa Bhavaet Katrayam Hadvayam Chaiva Saivo Bhaagaf Prakeertitaha Saktyaksharaani Shaeshani Hreenkaara Ubhayaatmakaha. Out of the three hundred names, the i nitial letters follow the order of Panchadasi mantra which has the five masculine letters Siva-varnani, the three Ka’s and the two Ha’s, all the other remaining letters excepting Hreem are the Saktyaksharani, which are feminine l etters. The letter Hreem, which is the embodiment of both of them, was told by Kameshwara and Kameshwari. The purpose of srividya will be fulfilled only after knowing the above difference. 10. Yaevam Vibhaagam Ajnaatvaa Sreevidya Japasaalinaha Na Taeshaam Siddhidaa Vidyaa Kalpakoti Satairapi. Those who do not know this secret and the difference between the letters of Siva and Sakthi will not get the power even if recited crores of times. 11. Chaturbhis Sivacharaischa Sakthichakraischa Panchabhihi Navachakrais Cha Samsiddhim Sreechakram Sivayorvapuhu. The four chakras of Siva and the five chakras of shakthi become the nine chakras. The Srichakra is the body of Siva and Shakthi. 12. Trikonam Ashtakonam Cha Dasa Kona Dvayam Tathaa Chaturdasaaram Chaitaani Saktichakraani Panchacha. The circles of Shakthi encapsulate the triangle, eight triangles, underlying ten triangles, outer ten triangles and the fourteen triangles. (Total – 43 triangles ) 13. Bindus Chaashta Dalam Padmam Padmam Shodasa Patrakam
Chaturashram Cha Chatvaari Sivachakraan Yanukramaath. The Siva chakra embodies Bindu, the eight petalled lotus, the sixteen petalled lotus, including the squares.
14. Trikonae Baindavam Slishtam Ashtaarae Ashtadalaambujam Dasaarayosh Shodasaaram Bhoopuram Bhuvanaasrakae. Bindu is united with the triangle by encircling inside and the eight triangles are united with the eight petalled lotus. The two ten triangles are united with the sixteen petalled lotus and the full-fledged square is united with the fourteen triangles. 15. Saivaanaamapi Saaktaanaam Chakraanaam Cha Parasparam Avinaabhaavasambandham Yo Jaanaati Sa Chakravit. He who really knows the Srichakra will know the fact that the Si va chakra and the Shakthi chakra are united forming the bond of Avinaabhaava (inter connection) relation ship. 16. Trikona Roopinee Saktir Bindu Roopas Sivas Smrutaha Avinaabhava Sambandhaha Tasmaat Bindu Trikonayoho. Kameshwari shakthi is in the form of triangle and Lord Siva i s in the form of Bindu. The triangle and the bindu are connected with Avinaabhava (inter connection) relationship. 17. Yaevam Vibhaagamajnaatvaa Sreechakram Yassamarchayeat Na Tatphala Mavaapnoti Lalitaambaa Na Tushyati. Those who do the Srichakra pooja without knowing the Avinaabhava relationship will not be benefitted. Devi will not be happy. 18. Yae Cha Jaananti Lokaesmin Sreevidyaa Chakravaedinaha Saamaanya Vaedinas Tae Vai Visaeshajnoti Durlabhaha. Those who do not know about this relationship will not know about Sreevidya upasana and Srichakra pooja well. Most of the people know about i t generally but very few people know about the intricate facts.
19. Svayam Vidyaa Visaeshajno Visaeshajnam Samarchayaet Tasmai Daeyam Tato Graahyam Sreevidyaa Chakravaedinaa. Only few people know about Srichakra pooja and Srividya upasana. They should be worshipped. Charity should be done to people who know about Srividya upasana and Srichakra pooja. Receiving something as charity from Srividya upasakas hands will also do us utmost good. 20. Andhamtamaf Pravisanti Yae Hyavidyaamupaasatae Iti Srutirapaahaitaan Avidyopaasakaan Punaha Avidyaanupaasakaanaeva Nindatyaarunikee Srutihi. Those who follow the path of ignorance are doomed into darkness. Vedas condemn people who are not in to Srividya upasana and encourages people who are Srividya upasakas. Aaruniki Shruthi also criticizes them. 21 & 22. Asrutaasas Srutaasas Cha Yajvaano Yaepyayajvanaha Svaryanto Naapaekshanta Indramagnim Cha Yae Vidyhu. Sikata Iva Samyanti Rasmibhis Samudeeritaahaa Sree vidya pooja can be done by people who are educated and uneducated, those who perform the yajnas and also by those people who do not perform the yajnas. Those who worship Indra and Agni, other than Goddess Lalithambika are considered worse than the particles of sand. They suffer in this li fe and the life after, says Aarunikee Sruthi. 23. Yasya No Paschimam Janma Yadi vaa Sankaras Svayam Taenaiva Labhyatae Vidyaa Sreemat Panchadasaaksharee. Those who have no birth or who is an avatar of Siva are initiated into the panchadasaakshari mantra. 24. Iti Tantraeshu Bahudhaa Vidyaayaa Mahimochyatae Mokshaika Haetu vidyaa Tu Sreevidyaiva na Samsayaha.
In Tantra and mantra shastras the greatness of Srividya is eulogized. Srividya is the only way to attain moksha. There is no doubt i n this. 25. Na Silpaadi Jnaana Yuktae Vidvachchabdaf prayujyatae Mokshaika Haetu Vidyaa Saa Sreevidyaiva Na Samsayaha. The people who are proficient in music and sculpture are not considered the real vidwans(scholars). The Srividya upasaka is considered a real vidwan because Srividya mitigates us from sorrows and leads us to the di vine moksha. 26. Tasmaad Vidya Vidhaevaatra Vidvaan Vidvaaniteeryatae Tasmaad Vidyaa Vidaedadyaat Khyaapayeat Tadgunaan Sudheehee. So, here the person who does Srividya upasana is the real vidwan. So, the wise people should give charity to the people who are Srividya upasakas and propagate the great values of Srividya. 27 & 28. Svayam Vidyaa Visaeshajno Vidyaa Maahaatmya Vaedyapi Vidyaavidam naarchayaechchaet Ko Vaa Tam Poojaej Janaaha Prasangaa Daetaduktam Tae Prakrutam Srunu Kumbhaja. The devotees knowing the greatness of this vidya, if they d o not respect the others who are the upasakas, then who will worship the true upasaka? Hayagreeva tells Kumbha muni that he was supposed to tell him something but it was leading to another and that he would tell the facts that he was instructed to tell him. 29. Yah Keertayaet Sakrud Bhaktyaa Divyam Naamnaam Satatrayam Tasya Punyaphalam Vakshyae Vistaraena Ghatodbhava. Now I shall tell you the benefits of these three hundred holy names when recited even once with reverence. 30. Rahasya Naama Saahasra Paathae Yatphala Meeritam Tat koti Koti Gunitam Yaeka Naama Japaad Bhavaet.
The recitation of a single nama of Trisathi i s more effective and powerful than the recitation of the sahasranama crores of times. 31. Kaamaesvaraabhyaam Tadidam Krutam Naama Satatrayam Naanyaena Talayae Daetat Stotraenaanya Krutaena Tu. The sacred Trisathi stotram is recited by Kameswari and kameswara and it can never be equal to any other stotram composed by others. 32. Sriyaf Paramparaa Yasya Bhaavinee Toottarottram Taenaiva Labhyatae naamnaam Trisatee sarva Kaamadaa. The Trisathi is obtained by people only by those families who would attain prosperity in future generations. 33. Asyaa Naamnaam Trisatyaastu Mahimaa Kaena Varnyatae Yaa Svayam Sivayor Vaktra Padmaabhyaam Parinisruta. Who can describe the efficacy of the holy and sacred stotra coming out from the l otus mouth of the Divine couple? 34. Nityaa Shodasikaaroopaan Vipraanaadou tu Phojayaet Abhyaktaan Gandhatailaena Snaataanushnaena Vaarinaa. The sixteen Srividya upasakas should be considered as the sixteen Nithya devi’s, and shou ld be anointed with perfumed oil with fragrant haebal, powder and given head bath with hot water. 35. Abhyarchya vastra Gandhaadyaihi Kaamasevaryaadi naamabhihi Apoopais Sarkaraajyais Cha Phalaif Pushpais Sugandhibihi. Anoint the sixteen nithya devi’s including the mahanithya Kameswari with sandal paste and adorn them with fine clothing. Then invite the nithya devi’s and perform the archana to them, offering appam, sugar, ghee and fruits. Offer them the food having all the six tastes. 36. Vidyaavido Visaeshaena Bhojayaet Shodasa Dvijaan
Yaevam Nityaa Balim Kuryaat Aadou Braahmana Bhojanae. The Srividya upasakas should feed the sixteen Brahmanas with a feast. Before feeding them, the sixteen nithya devi’s (they should also be Srividya upasakas) should be worshipped. Srividya upasakass are called twice born because the first birth is, when born through mother’s womb and the second birth is when upadesam is taken from a Guru. 37. Paschaat Trisatyaa naamnaam Tu Braahmanaan Kramasorchayaet Tailaabhyangaadikam Dadyaat Vibhavae Sati Bhaktitaha. If the family is prosperous then three hundred Srividya upasakas can be invited, fragrant oil is given for their bath, archana is done to them with three hundred holy names and then a sumptuous feast is given to them with all the six tastes. 38. Sukla Pratipadaarabhya Pournamaasyavadhi Kramaat Divasae Divasae Vipraahaa Bhojyaa Vimsati Sankhyayaa. Starting with Sukla Paksha Pratama till Pournami, Twenty upasakas are invited every day and are worshipped as above. 39. Dasabhif Panchabhir Vaapi Tribhi Raekaena Vaa Dinaihi Trimsat Shashtisatam Vipraan Bhojayaet Trisatam Kramaat. For ten, five, or three days, thirty, sixty or three hundred upasakas are invited and archana is performed. 40. Yaevam Yah Kurutae Bhaktyaa Janma Madhyae Sakrun Naraha Tasyaivam Saphalam Janma Muktis Tasya Karae Sthitaa. Whoever does this with intense devotion at least once in his life time gets the benevolent blessings from the Goddess and his life is indeed praise worthy and liberation from this earthly life is in his hands. 41. Rahasyanaama Saahasraihi Archanaep Yaevamaeva hi Aadou Nityaabalim Kuryaat Paschaad Braahmana Bhojanam.
Similarly, the secretive Sahasranama archana should be done to the sixteen Nithya Devi’s, sixteen Brahmins should be fed and then a feast should be given to thousand Brahmins. 42. Rahasya Naama Saahasra Mahimaa yo Mayoditaha Saseekaraanuratraika Naamno Mahima Vaaridhaehae. Whatever benefits we get from reciting the thousand names of the Goddess are like a droplet in an ocean compared to reciting one name of Trisathi. 43. Vaagdevee Rachitae Nama Saahasrae Yadyadeeraitam Tattat Phala Mavaapnoti Naamnopyaekasya Keertanaat. The recitation of even one name among the three hundred names has more power and is more effective than the thousand names told by Vagdevathas. 44. Yaetadanyair Japais Stotraihi Archanair Yatphalam Bhavaet Tatphalam Koti Gunitam Bhavaen Naama Sata Trayaat. The archana we do for the namas of Trisathi is effective crores of times more than the other Stuthis and archanas of sahasranama. 45. Rahasya Nama Saahasra Kotyaavrutyaastu yatphalam Tadbhavaet Koti Gunitam Naama Trisata Keertanaat. The effect of reading the Lalitha Sahasranama crores of times is equal to reading the Trisathi just one time. 46. Vaagdevee Rachitae Stotrae Taadruso Mahimaa Yadi Saakshaat Kaamaesa Kaamaesee Krutaesmin Gruhyataamiti. Just imagine! The repetition of the three hundred names of Trisathi is more effective than the repetition of the names sahasranama crores of times because, the former is told by Lord Kameshwara and Goddess kameshwari and the later is told by Vagdevathas at the command of Lalithambika. 47. Sakrut Sankeertanaadeva Naamnaamasmin Satatrayae
Bhavaech Chittasya Paryaaptir Noonamanyaa Napaekshinee. When the chanting of Trisathi is done even once, we get rid of our desires and it gives us the peace of mind. 48. Na Jnaatavya Mitastvanyat No Japtavyam Cha Kumbhaja Yadyat Saadhyatanam Kaaryam Tattadarthamidam Japaet Tattat Siddhi Mavaapnoti Paschaat Kaaryam Pareekshayaet. Oh! Kumbhha Muni, there is nothing more to learn apart from this. There is nothing else for me to tell you. When you want to achieve anything in life, do the Japa of Trisathi. You will get the required benefits when you do thi s. With this you will be successful in all your endeavors. 49. Yae Yae Prayogaas Tantraeshu Taistair yat Saadhyatae Dhruvam Tatsarvam Siddhyati Kshipram Naama Trsata Keertanaat. The benefits which are achieved from the different Prayogas in the Tantra shastras is achieved immediately when Trisathi is recited. 50. Aayushkaram Pushtikaram Putradam Vasyakaarakam Vidyaapradam Keetikaram Sukavitva Pradaayakam. The parayanam of these names gi ves longevity, strength, progeny, knowledge, the power to attract others and makes one a poet. 51. Sarvasampatpradam Sarva bhogadam Sarvasoukhyadam Sarvaabheeshtapradam chaiva Devee Naama Satatrayam. The parayana of Trisathi gives wealth, enjoyment and happiness. It fulfills the desires of the devotees. 52. Yaetaj Japaparo Bhooyat Naanyadichchaet Kadaachana. The Trisathi we recite is the supreme and the highest and there is nothing other than thi s to desire in life.
53. Yaetat Keertana Santushtaa Sree Devee Lalithambikaa Bhaktasya Yadyadishtam Syaat Tattat Poorayatae Dhruvam. Goddess Lalithambika is so pleased and happy with recitation of this Stotra and showers her blessings on the devotees who recite this. This is the highest truth. There i s no doubt about this. 54. Tasmaat Kumbhodbhava Munae Keertaya Tvamidam Sadaa Aparam Kinchidapi Tae Boddhavyam Naavasishyanti. So, Kumbha Muni recite this Stotra always and there is nothing more to tell you. 55. Iti Tae Kathitam Stotram Lalitaa Preetidaayakam Naavidyaa Vaedinae Brooyaaan Naabhaktaaya Kadaachanaa. This Stotram which pleases Goddess Lalithambika so much should not be revealed to those who are not the Srividya upasakas and never to the people who do not have bhakthi. 56. Nashathaaya Na Dushtaaya Naa Visvaasaaya Karhichit Yo Brooyat Trisatee Naannaam Tasyaanartho Mahaan Bhavaet Ityajnaa Saankaree Proktaa Tasmaad Gopyamidam Tvayaa. This Stotra should not be revealed to those people who are ignorant, wicked and who have no faith and devotion. When revealed to such people, the people who revealed will incur the wrath of the Goddess. Goddess Lalithambika will give them a great disaster in their life time. This is her order. So, you have to keep it in secrecy 57. Lalitaa Praeritaenaiva Mayoktam Stotramuttamam Rahasyanaama Saahasraat Ati Gopya Midam Munae. The secret Stotra is ordained by Lalithambika to be gi ven to you. So, you should keep it in more secrecy than the Sahasranamam. 58. Yaevamuktavaa Hayagreevaha
Kumbhajam Taapasottamam Stotraenaanaena Lalitaam Stutvaa Tripura Sundareem Aananda Laharee Magna Maanasas Samavartata. Here, Lord Hayagreeva revealed the sacred and the holy names of the Goddess Lalithambika, praising her to the great sage Agasthya and was drenched in unending happiness. Ethi Sree Brahmandapurane uttara Khande Hayagreevaagasthya Samvaade, Lalithopaakhyaane, Sthothra Khande, Lalithambaa Thrisathistothra Ratnam Samaptham.
