190. OM GOVIDAM PATAYE NAMA: ॐ गोविदाम पतये नम:
Always praised by Vedas.
In Vaikuntam, referred to as Nitya vibhooti, the Lord is praised and worshiped by Nityasuris and Muktas always, continuously. There, nothing other than the sound of Vedas is heard. All are blessed with good memory and speech to chant Vedas. Nammalwar says that the Lord blessed Him with knowledge and speech to worship Him [மயர்வற மதிநலம் அருளினன்]. Govidam means possessor of good vocabulary. All such Alwars and Acharyas used their knowledge in noble ways. Should we also not use our knowledge properly? Only, then we also can join the group in Vaikuntam to chant. Thirumazhisai Alwar says that in case the Lord desired to grant him any boon, then He should make the Alwar to chant His names ceaselessly! Every syllable of Vedas, is His name only. Even if one is not conversant with Vedas or Divya Prabhandam, by honouring Vedic scholars, one can gain equal benefits. Govidam pataye - always praised by great scholars. In Madva Bhashyam, govidam is considered to mean Saraswati and Her Consort lord Brahma and their pati [leader], the Lord.
