Lakshmi, Medha, Dhruti, Kaanti and various Vidyas; all Jyotis are his illuminations; Vedas and Ratnaas in his Kukshi / belly; in his stomach are Maha Yagnas, Balidaanaas, and the noble deeds of Brahmanas. Such was the Form of Vamana Deva which was visioned by Maha Bali Asura!) Vamana Deva expanded his stature to occupy the whole Universe, then measured Bhu Devi as the first step, ‘Antariksha’ as also the Lokas above as the second step and the third foot was reckoned as the underground lokas of Atala, Vitala, Sutala, Rasatala, Talaatala, Mahatala and Paataala and donated these to reign as their King.

Bhu Devi: Bhaasi Vaasi Pratipaasi
twam paasi vichestasy, Kruddhyamasi Ksaantimaayeesi twamdeepayaasi varshasi/
Twam haasyaasi na niryaasi nirvaapayaasi Jaagrasi, Nih seshayaasi Bhutaani KaaloBhutwaa Yugakshaye/
(Paramatma! You shine, you flow, you heat up, you save, and you act decisively; also you get angry, you cool down, you display radiance and heat, you pour rains; You laugh, you stay still, you hit and kill, you wake up and at Pralaya times you destroy and terminate).Interestingly, Bhagavan re-creates the Universe again out of the ‘sehsha’ or the remainder and hence is called the Sesha. Even as Brahma, Indra, Varuna and all other Devatas are subject to an end, Vishnu is permanent and thus known as Achuta; since others Deities are of the ‘haran’ type or the ephemeral unlike Narayana, the latter is called Hari; since Brahma and other Devas could not perceive his ‘Anta’ or the End, Bhagavan is known as Ananta; even for thousansds of crores of ‘Kalpas’ Vishnu remains without ‘ksharata’ or damage, he is Akshara; as he is capable of ‘Vishtambhana’ or obstruction to the ‘Charaachara Jagat’/ mobile or immobile worlds, Bhagavan is titled Vishnu; as Rishis defined water as ‘Naara’ and as Bhagavan resides in it, Vishnu who rests on water is Narayana; as Prithvi which is characterised as a ‘Gou’ / Cow gets submerged in water at the end of each and every Yuga, Bhagavan Narayana is Govinda; in the context of Tatwa Gyana, ‘Indriyas’ or Human Limbs are excitable with emotions or ‘harshikas’ and thus Govinda is called Hrishikesha; at the Pralaya, all the Beings from Brahma downward take refuge in Vishnu and also get absorbed into him, Narayana is designated as Vaasudeva; in each and every Kalpaanta / Yugaanta, Total Existence is subjected to ‘Akarshana’ or gets magnetised to Vishnu and hence he is known as Samkarshana; since Bhagavan separates distinct sectors of Devas, Rakshasas and Asuras, he is known as Samkarshana; as ‘Dharma Viseshajna’, he is Praduymna; and as no Praani / Being could resist him, he is called Aniruddha. I am your refugee, Bhagavan!)

( Vishnu as Varaha thus entered ‘Rasatala’; its four feet were like four Vedas; its teeeth like Yagnas, its face was like the Yagna Kunda; its tongue was Yagna; Brahma was like Varaha ‘mastaka’/ head; Agni was like his tongue; Kusha grass was like his body hairs; day and night were like his eyes; the Six Vedangas were like the ear-ornaments; Ghrutahuti or the oblations of ghee in a homa was his gulp; Sama Veda was like his raised sound of groan; Prayaschitta like his his fierce nails; his ‘rupa’was like Yagna; Vayu like his Antaratma; his blood was like Somarasa; Vedas were like his shoulders; Dakshina was his heart; Upakarma was like the region between his lips; Veda-gamana Marga and Upanidhads were like seat; and Chaaya was like his wife. Such Varaha Murti dived into the depths of Rasatala and with the sheer push of his tusks lifted Bhudevi in one huge lift-up, deposited her on the tusks and in one giant leap emerged to keep her in her original position.Thus the unique ‘Achintya’ relieved the helplessness of Prithvi Devi forever.)

(Bhagavan Vishnu, Jishnu, Trilokaadhyaksha!
our sincere greetings to you; You are the famed demolisher of Kaitabha; The
Creator, the Presever and also the Destroyer of the whole world with Trishula
in your hands; You expanded and occupied in merely three steps of yours all the
Three Lokas; You are like the Agni who put the total ‘Vamsha’ or the race of
the frightful of Daitya Clan into flames and ash; You materialised Brahma from
the lotus of your navel; You are the Jagatkarta, Harta and Priya; the Karya,
Karana and Karta or the Deed, the Doing and the Doer; Our endeavours are due to
create ‘Amrit’ for ‘Amaratwa’ or everlasting life; kindly enable with your
mighty arms the ‘Manthana’ or churning of the Madarachala in the Ksheera
Sagara! ) .

Foundation of Auspiciousness.] Whoever is desirous of performing Pradosha Vrata
ought to recite the Siva Stothra; by so saying Guru Briahaspathi asked to
perform the Padosha Vrata at once and take on Demon Vritrasura to secure
Glorious Victory by the Grace of Maha Siva.Deva Guru also explained the
background of Vritrasura who was cursed by Devi Uma Herself in his earlier
birth as Chitrarath, a Celestial King. The latter was travelling various Dwipas
by air and witnessed Siva with Devi Uma on His lap and joked that Siva too like
human beings could not resist the temptation of women. Devi Uma cursed the King
at once to give birth and assume the form of a Raakshasa and that was the
origin of Demon Vritrasura.
Shiva
Kavacha:
Realising that Bhagavan Siva was the
Origin of ‘Srishti’ (Creation) which was far beyond human comprehension; Sage
Sharabha scripted the famed Siva Kavacha or the Body Safeguard to humanity:
‘May Sarvadevamaya Mahadeva save me from this deep Samsaara Kupa; may His
Sacred name relieve me from the totality of sins from my heart. May Bhagavan
Siva save me whose Body Form is His Universe and whose resplendent and happy
embodiment of ‘Chidaatma’ or Ever Happy Soul is Eternal. May Eswara, whose
presence is all pervading from even the small to the smallest existence is
replete in the Universe, save me from the massive stock of sins from my life!
May ‘Ashtamurthi’Girisha who had taken the Form of Earth save me from my daily
tribulations. May Parama Siva who assumed the appearance of Water which is
life-giving provide me security of life. May Maha Siva who ends up the Universe
with fearful flames and performs Rudra Tandava (dance) while enjoying the
destruction of Life bestow relief to me from heat and fury.May the Three Eyed
and Five Faced Siva, the’Satpurusha’ grant me Vidya (Knowledge), Abhay
(shelter) and ‘Vara’(boon) at all times out of His endless mercy fron the
Eastern side. May Siva, who wears Kuthara, Ankusha Pasha, Shula Nagaada and
Rudrakshamaala and is also known as Neelaruchi, Trinetra, and ‘Aghora’, keep me
safe in the Dakshina (Southern) side. May Omni Potent ‘Sadyojata’ who sports
Chandama, Shankha and Sphatikamala on His Body look after me on the Western
front. May ‘Vamadeva’Bhagavan save me from the Northern Front. May ‘Ishana’save
me from the above or the sky! May Bhagavan Chandramouli save my head,
Phaalanetra my forehead, Bhaganetrahaari my eyes, Viswanaatha my nose,
Shrutageetakirti my ears, Panchamukha my face, Vedajihva my tongue, Girisha my
neck, Neelaantha my two hands, Dharmabaahu my shoulders, DakshaYagna Vidhvmavsi
my Vakshasthal Girindradhanva my stomach, Kamadevanaashak my Mahyadesh, Ganesha
Pita my navel, Dhurjati my ‘Kati’, Kubera Mitra my Pindaliyas,
Jagadeeswar my Ghutnas, Pungavakethu (two janghas or thighs), and
Suravandyacharan (both the feet worshipped by Devas). May Maheswara save me
during the first Prahara Time; Vaamadeva the second Prahara, Triayambak the
third Prahara and Vrishabhadwaja the final Prahara; Sisireswar at the begnning
of the night; Gangadhar save me midnight; Gauripati at the end of night; and
may Mrityunjaya save me always.Shankar should protect me from the Internal
Physique; Sthhaanu from the Bahya Stithi or Extrenal Being, Pashupati saves me
from the intermediate Stage of consciousness and Sadasiva may protect everybody
always. Let Bhuvanaikanath save me while standing, Prananath in motion;
Vedantavedya while my standing, Avinaashi Siva during my sleep; Neelakantha
during our tavel; Tripuraari while passing rocky places; Mrigavyaaghra passing
through forests; and Mrigavyaghya in Maha Pravaasa or deep and dense
jungles. I seek the refuge of Veerabhadra whose high blast and frightening
presence shakes up the whole Universe. May Bhagavan Mrida who could devastate
crore-strong of armies in split seconds and has the unimaginable might and
speed to do so, and Tripurantaka whose‘Pralayakaal’Trisula could submerge the
entire Creation into an endless sheet of water, save me from my bad dreams,
awful omens, dreadful feelings of mind, durbhiksha (extreme poverty), Durvyasanas
(terrible habits), diseases, fear of poisonous species, and victimisation of
evil ‘grahas’, natural mishaps like cylones, earthquakes and floods and all
such unfortunate experiences. I greet Sadasiva who is the embodiment of all
Tatvas and their interpretation, the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer of all
the Worlds, the unique witness of existence, the Donor, Sin Remover, the
epitome of Propitiousness, the Nirguna, the Unparalelled, Nirakar, Niraabhas,
Niramaya, Nishprapancha, Nishkalanka, Nidvandhya, Nissanga, Nirmala, Gati
Sunya, Nithya Rupa, Nithya Vaibhava Sampanna, Anupama Iswarya, Adhara Sunya,
Nithya, Shuddha Buddha, Paripurna, Sachhidanandaghana, Adviteeya, Parama
Shanta, Prakashamaya, and Teja Swarupa. Hey! Rudra, Maha Roudra, Bhadraavataar,
Duhkhadavagni vidarana, Maha Bharava, Kaala Bharava, Kalpanta Bhairava, and
Kapaala Maalaadhari. Hey, Wearer of Khatvanga, Khatga, Dhala, Paasha, Ankusha,
Damaru, Shula, Dhanush, Baana, Gada, Shakti, Bhidipaala, Thomar, Mushal,
Mudgar, Pattisha, Parashu, Parigha, Bhushundi, Shataghni, Chakra such other
frightful weapons! Hey, Mukhadamshtra karaala, Vikata Attahaasya visphaarita
Brahmaandala mandala, Nagendra kundala, Nagendravalaya, Nagendracharmadhara,
Mritunjaya, Triambaka,Tripurantaka, Viruupaksha, Visweswara, Viswarupa,
Vrishavaahana, Vidyubhushana and Vishvatomukha.You guard me, burn off fear of
my death, demolish my Apamrityu and my fear of external and internal diseases,
shield me from ‘Arishatvargas’or the Six Enemies of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha,
Mada and Matsara ; tear down my terror of Raakshasas, Bhutaas, Kushmandas,
Betalas, Brahma Raakshasas and such other Kshudra Shaktis. Oh Lord, equip me
against Naraka Bhaya (Terror of Hell), Kshudha Trishna (hunger and thirst), and
apprehensions. Victory to You Bhagavan! Do strengthen my physique, mind and
Soul and insulate me from all possible risks of life with this Parama Shakti
Maha Siva Kavacha.

(Prabho! I am grieving with unimaginable
anguish which could be destroyed only by you. My Salutations toYou Bhagavan who
sports lotus garlands and Pushakara malaas; You are the Adi Vidhata who is an
embodiment of propitiousness! You are Kamala Nayana, Padmanaabha, the Creator
of Brahma, Atmajanma, Lakshmi Pati, Indriya damana, worthy of darshan only by
Samayama Yogis, Sudarshana and Khadga dhaari! Only those ‘Atmagyanayuta’
Yagnakartas, Yogadhyaanis and Yoga Saadhakaas could aspire to visualise your
Gunarahita Brahma Swarupa! May I pay my obeisances to you Sharanga Dhari Deva!
as you occupy the whole world in a Gross Form and yet possess the tiniest Form
which is invisible! Those persons who do not make efforts to visualise you do
not get your Darshan any way, but those who have no other desire in life
excepting you would readily witness you are blessed with your image in their hearts
always for the asking! Your unbelievable Jyoti or extraordinary Radiance is
all-pervading in the entire Universe in which you are present invisibly and
contrarily the Universe is but an integral segment of You Parama Deva! In other
words, You are all over the Universe, the Universe was created by you and in
fact the Universe is of Yours! My humble greetings to you the original
Prajapati! Pitara Sreshtha! Devata Swami! Shri Krishna! Here are my Pranaams
again and again! You are the Supreme Objective of Pravritti and Nivritti Deeds
(Ritualistic and Directly unswerving approach) and the Unique Decider of
bestowing Swarga or Moksha the Eternal Bliss! My namashkaaraas to you Vishuddha
Swarupa as even my taking your very name and memory would smash all my sins!
You are the Avinaashi or Indestructible; Akhilaadhara or the Mighty Clutch of
the Entirety; the Only Reliever of the Trap of Birth-Death Cycle! You are
perceptible through Yagnaas, the Yagna Murti, the Yagna Sthita and Yagna
Purusha! Vedas commend you, Vedajnaas sing your hymns, You are the
‘Vidwadjanaashraya’ or the one who is fond of the Company of Vidwadjanaas. My
Most Revered Paramaatma! The whole Vishwa is your Creation, Sustenance
and also the Termination thus You are the Vishva Kartha, Vishva Bharta and the
Vishwa Harta! I pray to that Highest Magnificence who materialised Surya
Swarupa and destroyed darkess for good. To that Sarveswara, the Ajanma, Avyaya,
Srashta and Vishnu who is fully aware of the Truth about me and the
transparency and earnestness of my Prayers that I am prostrating with humility
craving him to grant my wish!)

(Vamana Murti’s display of his Virat Swarupa: Chandra and
Surya were his two Eyes,Shy was his head, Prithvi his feet, Pishachaas were his
foot-fingers, Gruhyakaas were his hand fingers, Vishwa Deva Ganaas were in his
jaanus /knees,Sadhyas were his janghaas, Yakshaas were his nails, Apsarsaas
were his palm lines, Nakshatras were his Eye sight, Surya kiranas were his
hairs, Stars were his body hairs, Maharshiganaas were in the hair roots,
Vidishas were his hands, Dishaas were his ears, Ashwini Kumars were his faculty
of hearing, Vayu was his nose, Chandra Deva was his joking faculty, Dharma Deva
was his thinking capacity, Satya was his voice and Saraswati was his tongue,
Deva Mata Aditi was his neck, Vidya was his valiyaas or long poles; Pushas were
his eye brows, Swarga dwar was his anus, Vaishvanara his face, Prajapati his
vrushanaas, Param Brahma was his heart, Kashyapa Muni was his Pumstwa,Vasu
Devata was his back, Marutganaas were his Sandhis, Rudra was his Vakshasthala,
Mahaarnavaa was his Dhairya, Gangharvas were in his stomach; Lakshmi, Medha,
Dhruti, Kaanti and all Vidyaas were in his ‘Kati Pradesha’; the luster and
radiance in the total Universe as also the Tapo teja or the power of meditation
was the reflection of the magnificence of Natayana; Vedas and Sciptures and the
huge Yagnaas and the Sacred Deeds of the Virtuous like Maharshis and Brahmanas
were all inside in his ‘kukshi’ or belly).

(Whosoever hears of this narration of Vamana Charitra and
Mahatmya would have no ‘Adhi-Vyadhis’ or exteral and internal problems and be
freed from sins; Brahmanas would attain Veda Prapti, Kshatriyas of Victories,
Vaishyas of Dhana Samruddhi; As they read or hear of Prahlada-Bali Samvada or
of Bali and Vishnu Charitra, one would avoid situations of Official hindrances
and achieve the desired goals of life.)
