Sanakadhis eulogizes the glories of Lord Hari In Sri Vaikundham
Rishi Maitreya narrates to
Vidura “ Oh! Vidura, Dhithi was worried about the future of the infant yet to be
born, so she kept the fetus in her womb for a hundred years. She does not want to cause any harm to deities or living beings by her children, after listening to
the predictions of Kashyapa Prajapathi.
The Dhikpalakas prayed to Lord Bhrama about the unique darkness that spread all over the Universe caused by the fetus of Dhithi, which was implanted by the supreme virility
of Sage Kashyapa, they eulogized the virtues of Lord Bhrama who is the creator
of living beings on the Earth. Lord
Bhrama pacified the Dhikpalakas that his Manasaputras Sanaka, Sanathan,
Sanandhan and Sanathkumara are in the abode of Sri Vaikundham to find a
solution for all. The abode where the supreme Lord resides, he symbolizes auspiciousness, righteousness,
supreme bliss and virtues, he is primordial, he is worshiped by the righteous and renounced
souls, contemplating upon him by reciting the Vedic chants, his abode is
flourished with the rich natural resources and beauty of nature and divine wish-fulfilling tree Kalpatharu, he is eulogized by celestials and
Apsaras, even the birds are singing the praise of Lord Hari, woods are enriched with
the flowers of Mandhara, Kuravaka,
Jasmine, lily, Champa, lotus, Punnaga, Nagabagula, and Parijatha, are praising the
virtues of Tulsi garland adorned by Lord Hari.
His sparkling abode is decorated with the fortresses built in precious gems
and gold. Lord Hari is relentlessly

Bhagavan, If we commit any sin and thereby
take another birth, kindly bless us to fix
our mind on your lotus feet, like a honey bee on the lotus flower, our speech
should praise your glories, like Tulsi at your lotus feet, our ear should
