SVS 72

66. OM PRANADHAYA NAMA: प्राणदाय नम:
Grants the power to Nityasooris to perform Nitya kainkaryam

We have to get up from bed in the early morning and first put our right foot after praying to Sri Bhhoma Devi. For any auspicious beginning we should first set our right foot. Only when going to a war, one has to first set the left foot and that is why in the march past, it is always left - right convention.
Pranadhaya means He cuts off our prana. That is He grants a superior status for us. Nityasooris are for ever serving the Lord.In Tritakupdama, Kshetragya, Muktanam paramagathi, etc., it was told the power to serve the Lord. It is His will that all these atmans -Nityasoori and Muktatma- are serving the Lord. Swami Koorathalwan compares the Nityasooris to friends of the Lord. Friendship normally blossoms in persons of the same age group. As a friend the Lord has granted close service relationship to these Nityasooris. Now we are all bhaddha or bonded [ by karma]. In Vaikuntam we get released or attain mukti and become Mukthas. But Nityasooris like Adisesha, Garuda, Vishvaksena,etc., have never been bhaddhas anytime.
This feature has been granted by the Lord and so are enjoying like that. He grants both the skill and power. Can these Nityasooris interchange their duties. Theoretically it is possible, but they do not, as everyone gets the benefit and happiness of everyone's service to the Lord. So there is no necessity for Garuda to do Adisesha's service. There is no difference in the bliss experienced by anyone in Vaikuntam. Being suddha satvam, there is no scope for competition nor jealousy.
