SrI:
Dear BahkthAs :
Aruttha Panchakam is about Lord VaradarAjan of
Kaanchipuram as Meyviratha
Maanmiyam and Adaikkala Patthu .The
Prabhandham deals with five topics
(ArTa Panchakam ) that Swamy Desikan will
elaborate in SrImadh Rahasya
Thraya Saaram ( Chapter 4) later in His
life.
The senior contemproary of Swamy Desikan ,
Swamy PiLLai LokAcchAr
has written an outstanding MaNipravALa grantham
entitled "Aruttha Panchakam "
which has been translated in to English by SrI A .
GovindAchArya .This grantham
in original MaNipravALam text and its English
translation can be accessed at :
The Five truths/doctrines (arTa panchakam ) that a
Mumukshu (One who desires
Moksham) should know
are:
1. The Svaroopam of BhagavAn , who should be
enjoyed by us(Paasurams 248-249)
2. The Svaroopam of Jeevan , which enjoys its Lord ( Paasurams
250-251)
3. The obstacles until now that prevents us from
gaining BhagavAn( Paasurams 252-253 )
4. The means practised for gaining Moksham: Bhakthi
or Prapatthi yOgam ( 254-255)
5. The chief phalan of Bhagavath anubhavam from
one of the two upAyams practised
(256-257).
Each of these 5 doctrines are thus explained with
two paasurams each. The 11th Paasuram
is the Phala Sruthi ( Paasuram 258) for this
Prabhandham.
248 . The Svaroopam of Brahman

.......Paasuram 1
(Meaning): In this karma bhUmi (SamsAra MaNDalam )
, EmperumAn has as
His sport , the distribution of phalans to each
JeevAthmA according to its
accumulated karmA . Therefore , this SamsAra
MaNDalam is recognized as
the nandhavanam (play ground) , where the
Lord engages in such sports .
There is no limit to our Lord's auspicious guNAs .He has both " Svaroopa Niroopaka
VisEshaNams(SNV) " and "Niroopitha Svaroopa VisEshaNams(NSV) among His guNams.
VisEshaNam means a distinguishing feature that sets
it apart from others .
Svaroopa NirUpaka visEshaNams are those
guNams ( attributes) without which
the Svaroopam (
inherent nature ) of the object can not be explained correctly
.
After comprehending the Svaroopam with nirUpaka
visEshaNams , we seek out other
attributes as VisEshaNams to reveal the glories of
the object under consideration .
These guNams are recognized as "NirUpitha Svaroopa
VisEshaNams".
The Svaroopa nirUpaka GuNams of SrIman NaarAyaNan
are five in number :
1. Sathyathvam: Invariant nature at all times(
"aviyAtha " term in the Paasuram ).
2. Jn~Anathvam: His Jn~Ana SvarUpam never diminishes ( "Sudar" term refers to
this in the Paasuram
) .
3. Ananthathvam: His presence (vyApthi) at all places and times and
vasthus
without restrictions of any kind ( The term "aLavillA " in Paasuram refers
to this).
4. Aanandhathvam: He exists as the Bliss principle
and therefore as Aanandha SvarUpi
( The term "AarAvamudham " in the paasuram refers
to this principle linked to
His Svaroopam ) .
5. Amalathvam: His Svaroopam is qualified as
Blemishless ( The Term " Amalan"
in the Paasuram refers to this
doctrine).
After comprehending the true nature of the Lord's
attributes with the above five
SvarUpa NirUpaka VisEshaNams , the other
attributes ( NirUpitha SvarUpa
VisEshaNams) reveal the glory of the Lord such as
Souseelyam , KaaruNyam ,
Vaathsalyam and others .
This Lord with Svaroopam defined by the five
nirUpaka GuNams rules over
His two VibhUthis ( LeelA and Nithya VibhUthis :
BhU Lokam and SrI Vaikuntam)
with SrI PerumdEvi PirAtti.
249) All the Vasthus are under the control of
BhagavAn's Sankalpam

----Paasuram 2
(Meaning): This Lord of Atthigiri with His divine
consort , PerumdEvi ThAyAr
pervades all objects of His creation as the
indweller (antharyAmi Brahman)
and controls with His sankalpam their Svaroopam ,
Sthithi (existence)
and Pravrutthi ( karmic activiites ). The Lord of Hasthigiri cuts the bonds of
SamsAram for those , who perform SaraNAgathy at
His sacred feet
and grants those blessed jeevans
MokshAnandham.
