Dear RasikAs of Swamy NammAzhwAr's dhivya prabhandhams:
On this Fifth ThiruppAavi day , adiyEn will continue with
the Sixth SlOkam of DTR:
prAchyE sEvAnuguNyAth Prabhumiha sathakE-amamstha mukthErupAyam
muktha-prApyam dhvithIyE Munir-anuBhuBhudhE bhOgyathA-vistharENa
prApyathvOpAya bhAvou Shubha-subhagathanOr-ithyavAdhIth, thruthIyE
ananya-prApyas-chathurTE samubhavath itharair-apyananyAbhupAya:
(meaning): In this slOkam , Swamy Desikan states briefly
the essence of the Patthu Patthus (10x 100 pasurams)
of ThiruvAimozhi.
In the first one hundred (mudal Patthu) pAsurams ,
Swamy NammAzhwAr concluded that the Lord is the UpAyam
for Moksham as a result of Him staying as the object of
worship ( "prAchyE sathakE prabhum sEvAnguNyAth mukthE:
upAyam amamstha").
In the second patthu , SaThakOpa Muni revealed that
the Lord is the delectable object of enjoyment by
those who attain Moksha Siddhi ( " dhvithIyE BhOgyathA-
visthArENa muktha-prApyam anuBhuBhudhE")through elaborate
description of His bhOgyathvam .
In the third Patthu , our Kula-pathi declared that
the Lord is the One , who banishes all the dhOshams of
those , who seek Him as refuge and that he through
the unmatched beauty of His ThirumEni makes Muktha Jeevans
and Nithya Sooris vie with one another to perform nitya-
Kaimkaryam to Him and thereby enjoy paripoorNa BrahmAnandham .
In this third Patthu (sathakam ) , Swamy NammAzhwAr
instructs us that Sriman NaarAyaNan alone is the upAyam
(means)and UpEyam ( the object of attainment as Parama
PurushArtham ("ThruthIyE PrApyathva-UpAya Bhavou Shubha-
subhaga TanO: ithi avAdhIth"). Subha Tanu stands for SubhAsraya
ThirumEni of the Lord , which banishes all the dhOshams of
those , who seek refuge at His scared feet.The Subhaga ThirumEni
refers to the dhivya MangaLa Vigraham aspects of this ThirumEni.
In the Fourth Patthu , SaTHAri Soori asserted that He rejected
completely the alpa (insignificant ) PurushArthams of Isvaryam
(riches in this world ) and kaivalyam ( aathmAvalOkanam and
aathmAnubhavam ) and chose the Lord alone as Parama PurushArtham
( ChathurtthE ananya-prApya:samubhavath).
In the rest of the patthus ,Swamy NammAzhwAr demonstrated that
He has no upAyam except Sriman NaarAyanan for his Moksham.
SaThAri Soori also established that the Lord stands as UpAym
for those , who long to reach His Supreme abode, Sri Vaikuntam.
VaguLAbharaNar described the individual guNams that make
the Lord stand as UpAyam forthe Mumukshus (itharai: ananyApupAya:).
The verbs that Swamy Desikan used to describe the accomplishments
of Swamy NammAzhwAr are wonderful to reflect upon . In the first
Patthu it is "amamstha" . In the case of the second patthu ,
it is "anubhubhudhE". For the third patthu , it is "avAdhIth".
In the case of the fourth patthu , it is " samubhavath". These
different choices reveal subtelities of Swamy NammAzhwAr's
blessings. "amamstha and anubhubhudhe " means KaruthiuLLAr in
Tamil (viewed or considered). "avAdhIth" means aruLinAr.
"samubhavath" stands for therivitthAr (declared ). The Kavi
Simham's saili is incomparable.May the genius and DayA of
Swami Desikan protect us always.
