The Divine Mother possesses great wealth; She is also extremely blessed.
She gets things done in this universe as She desires. This universe was
created by Her. In various life forms, their desires naturally are either higher
or lower. By satisfying one lower-level desire, in life cycle, one gets to even
lower (maturity) level. For those with higher level of desires, the Divine
Mother provides in dharma ways. There is nothing in this universe which does
not belong to the Divine Mother. She is satisfied with all the things She is
possessing.
Some may wish to achieve victory quickly, seek Dhana or wealth in evil
ways. Whatever they receive gets destroyed soon if the Divine Mother’s
blessings are not there for them. For those who follow proper dharma means to acquire
wealth, She provides them the wealth gradually. She also provides ways to safeguard
the given wealth. For good people, She is the yogin to provide wealth in yoga
means. When someone’s way to wealth is proper, then there are mental peace and
satisfaction. Their goal is reached, all ending in auspiciousness.
Those who live with dharma means die in peaceful way. In final days,
with metal satisfaction meditating on the Divine Mother is the best way to die.
The Divine Mother’s devotees get this peaceful means of dying. They do not have
any desire that will lead to their rebirth. In the final days their mind is set
in greatness of the Divine Mother. Such a fortunate state is provided to Her
devotees by the Divine Mother. Dhanya is an auspicious nature of the Divine
Mother is the inner meaning of this wonderful Namam.
She does all these for fulfilment of devotee’s desires. When one
completes his duty well, his mental satisfaction and happiness are there for
him. The Divine Mother is in those satisfaction and happiness forms. She does
Her duties well.
In reaching Brahman, having desires without any attachments, to control
all one’s five senses, providing kindness to one’s all thoughts during the
death of a human may also be called Dhanya. These are available for fortunate
people; such kind thoughts would be following all through their life, to get
Dhanya thought at the time of death of other humans. These can give Deva status
to humans; such thoughts are called Dhanya.
Dhanya helps to accumulate wealth. In astrology, Dhanyam is mentioned
as a Yogam to get wealth in dharma means.
Mangala, Pingala and Dhanya are three yogis well known in Jyotisa
sastra (astrology).
Bhaskaracarya quotes from Bhavisyottara Purana, describing the four
kinds of thoughts that arise in persons nearing death: arta, Raudra, dhanya and
sukla.
Arta signifies thoughts concerning death, anxiety over house, wife, clothes,
and other possessions. In short these are delusions (believing something that
is not there) due to Maya. Those who die with arta thoughts will be reborn in
lower form, as birds and animals.
Raudra stands for thoughts concerning physical and mental wounds,
torture and affiliations that have occurred. Those who die with Raudra thoughts
will be reborn in even lower forms such as insects and worms.
Dhanya is the meditation on the meanings of the Upanishads and Puranas,
which were previously learned. Dhanya meditation at the time of death leads to
the world of Devas.
Sukla is dispassion based one-point meditation in yoga, with freedom from
temptation of the senses. Those who die engaged in Sukla mediation attain the
Supreme state, without rebirth. Therefore, the wise should fix his mind on the
meditative path of Sukla. The mind should be trained early in life in Dhanya ways.
The path is not difficult. That is why the Divine Mother is called Dhanya. Her
form is celebrated as Dhanya, can easily be fixed in our minds.
The Divine Mother possesses great wealth.
She is also extremely blessed.
