Godha sthuti SlOkam 12: This slokam deals with the glories that came by the way of the river GodhAvari by having the same name. prAyENa dEvi bhavathI vyapadEsayOgAth Godhaavari Jagadhidham payasA puneethE YasyAm samEthya samayEshu chiram nivAsAth BhAgIrathI PrabhruthayOapi bhavanthi puNyA: In the earlier slOkam , Swamy Desikan described the glories that came to the Southern direction thru the avathAram of Godhai. Here , he describes the glories attained by the river GodhAvari by having the name of Godhai. (Meaning): Oh GodhA Devi! The river GodhAvari seems to purify the world with its waters by bearing Your name.Is it nt it so that the great rivers like Ganga reside in GodhAvari for a long time to become PuNya nadhis ? When we call ourselves RaamAnuja Daasan , we announce our relation as the servant of RaamAnujA. That is the purpose of adorning Daasya naamams. GodhAvari river takes on Your Naamam and gains thereform the power to cleanse the whole world with its waters including the puNya nadhis like GangA et al. BhavathI vyapadEsa YogAth means by virtue of adorning Your name (ThirunAmam as mukhya vyavahAram). All the puNya nadhis cleanse the sins of people, who dip in them and become impure over time. Swamy Desikan says that these soiled rivers resort to the bath in GodhAvari at specific times of the year to destroy their sins accumulated from the bathers .By having the name of Godhai , GodhAvari has the power to annul all these sins and restore the puNya nadhis to their pristine glory , while not being affected by their assembly of accumulated sins .
