SVS 140 [Lokadyaksha -135, Suradhyaksha -136, Dharmadyaksha -137] (15.1,15.2, 15.3)

135. OM LOKADYAKSHAYA NAMA: लोकाद्यक्षा नम:
Graces those, who adhere to Dharma.

136. OM SURADHYAKSHAYA NAMA: सुराद्यक्षा नम:
He comprehends Devas, worshiped by such persons.

137. DHARMADYAKSHAYA NAMA: धर्माद्यक्षा नम:
Comprehends Dharma.

Lokadhyaksha = knows all the worlds. Suradyaksha = Knows Devas. Dharmadyaksha = knows all Dharma. These are considered as attributes to Sri Aniruddha, One of the Four Vyuhamurti. We saw earlier that Aniruddha - Usha marriage was celebrated in this -Thiruthangal- Kshetram. It is apt we are studying Divine names attributed to Sri Aniruddha. Here the Garuda is with amrut kalash or nectar pot. Every Thursday he is offered Modhakam [கொழுக் கட்டை]. Lighting lamp with Five wicks is beneficial. Today [29th August 2008] we will see Three Divine names together. Lokadyaksha means He is the Leader for all Worlds. Vedas have been preached by the Lord for the benefit of the people. Loukikam [லௌகிகம் ] is rules and regulations for doing a karma. Vaidhikam [வைதிகம் ] is the capacity to do that karma. Raghuvamsa is a great literary work of Poet Kalidasa. In this he praises the Kings of Raghu dynasty. Emperor Dileep was a great King, Kalidasa says while Dileepa took care of Swarag lok of Indra, Indra took care of Dileepa's Kingdom. It means Dileepa ensured the proper performance of Yagnas to please devas. They in turn ensured proper rains and other climate for the welfare of humans. Like this the Lord has designed Yagnas. He has ordained people to perform Yagna. Noble persons guide in the conduct of Yagnas. The Lord is worshiped by Dharma. When Arjuna was confused between Dharma and Adharma, Sri Krishna preached Gita and showed him the path of Dharma. When Indrajit was to be killed, Lakshman took out an arrow and vowed that if Sri Rama was treading Dharma and if He was Truthful, that arrow should kill the target. These Three names make clear the Lord's care for Dharma.
