Dear BhakthAs:
 
Today , we will cover the rest of the ArTa Panchakam Paasurams
of Swamy  Desikan's Desika Prabhandham .
 
254. THe UpAyams of Bhakthi & Prapatthi: Elaboration on Bhakthi yOgam
**************************************************************************************
yama niyama aasanangaL iyal aavi pulanadakkam
tamathu aRiyum dhAraNaikaL tArai aRA ninaivu ozhukkam
samam udaya samAdhi nalam sAthippArkku ilakku aahum
amarar thozhum Atthigiri ambhyutthAL AaramudhE----(7)
 
Here Swamy  Desikan salutes the Lord of Hasthi Giri as
" Amarar Thozhum Atthigiri AmbhuyatthAL Aar amudhu " .
The Lord of Atthigiri is visualized as the One worshipped by
the DevAs and as the delectable nectar for PerumdEvi ThAyAr.
 
The Lord of Kaanchi is recognized as the One , who cuts asunder
the bonds of SamsAram for those , who practise Bhakthi yOgam
with its eight angams . For these saadhakAs , PeraruLALan
frees them from SamsAric bonds ( PuNyam and Paapam ) and
blesses them with MOksham .
 
The eight angams of Bhakthi yOgam are:
 
(1) Yamam ( ahimsai , Sathyam , Non stealing , control of Kaamam et al)
(2) Niyamam ( Parisuddhi , Satisfaction with what one has , performance of
vratham/tapas , efforts at VedAntha Paricchayam , Saathvika ThyAgam )
(3) Aasanam ( Yogic poistures like PadhmAsanam)
(4) PrANAyAmam ( Control of Breath)
(5) PrathyAhAram ( Control of senses & Turning them away 
from the worldly sukhams and temptations)
(6) DhAraNai( Imprint of BhagavAn's ThirumEni in one's mind)
(7) DhyAnam ( uninterrupted meditation of the Lord)
(8) SamAdhi ( reaching a state of anubhavam through dhyAnam ,
wherein the Saadhakan feels that he is seeing the Lord directly).
 
One uses Bhakthi yOgam or Prapatthi yOgam as upAyam to
gain MOksha Siddhi. In this Paasuram , the focus is on Bhakthi
yOgam .
 
255. Elaboration on Prapatthi 
************************************
puhal ulahil illAthu ponnaruL kaNDu uRRavaRkkum
ahalahilA anbarkkum anRE TannaruL kodutthup-
pahalathanAl pazham kangul vidivikkum PankayatthAL
ahalahilEn yenRu uRayum Atthigiri aruL muhilE ----(8)
 
Here the Lord of Atthigiri is saluted as the One , who is never
ever seperated from His PirAtti ( PankayatthAL ahalahilEn
yenRu uRayum Atthigiri AruLALan ). He is recognized as
the dark rainy season cloud that pours down the showers
of KaruNai on those , who perform Prapatthi unto Him after
the anushtAnam of PurushakAra Prapatthi at the sacred feet of
PerumdEvi ThAyAr.PurushakAra Prapatthi is performed first
to SrI Devi ( PerumdEvi ThAyAr here) before the anushtAnam
of Prapatthi at the sacred feet of the Lord . We need the intercession
of our ThAyAr for gaining success in our Prapatthi to Her Lord.
 
One practises Dhruptha or Aarta Prapatthi at the feet of
the Lord to gain Moksha siddhi . Dhruptha Prapatthi is the form of
SaraNAgathy , where one experiences karma phalan until
the end of one's days and gains moksham at the end . Aarta
Prapatthi is the form of SaraNAgathy , which is performed by one
with the intense desire to gain MOksham right away without waiting
patiently until the end of one's alloted life span.
 
256. Elaboration of Moksha Svaroopam
**********************************************
iru vilangu vidutthu iruntha siRai vidutthOr naadiyinAl
karu nilankaL kadakkum vazhi kAvalarAl kadatthuvitthup-
perunilam kaNDu uyir uNarnthu piriyAmal aruL seyyum
uru nalam koNDu uRum ThiruvOdu uyar AtthigiriyAnE----(9)
 
PerumdEvi ThAyAr has roopam and kalyANa guNams befitting
Her Lord and stays together with Him as Bliss principle.
Our Lord VaradarAjan bearing such illustrious glories through
association (sambhandham) with His PirAtti commands HIs aadhivAhikAs
to lead the Jeevan that performed SaraNAgathy at His sacred
feet after liberating that Jeevan from the body via moordhanya Naadi .
That jeevan crosses the archirAdhi mArgam and comprehends
its true savroopam with the anugraham of the Lord and arrives at
Sri Vaikuntam to perform eternal kaimkaryam to the Lord there.
The Lord blesses the liberated jeevan to stay with Him
as His servitor for all times to come and never to return
to the Karma BhUmi .
 
The PuNyams and Paapams bind the Bhaddha Jeevan
before SaraNAgathy.After the enactment of SaraNAgathy ,
the jeevan is liberated from the shackles of Paapam & PuNyam .
PuNyam is considered a golden bond and Paapam as
an iron handcuff and legcuff  .They are both shattered as a result of
the performance of SaraNAgathy at the Lord's sacreed feet .   
 
257.Gaining of Sarva Kaimkaryam during MokshAnubhavam
**********************************************************************
Tamm ThirumAthudanE thAmm tani arasAy uRaihinRa
antham ilA pEr inbatthil adiyavarOdu yemai sErtthu
munthi izhanthana yellAm muhizhhikka tanthu aatkoLLum
antham ilA aruLAzhi Atthigirit-ThirumAlE ----(10)
 
PeraruLALan enjoying  the company of His divine consort ,
PerumdEvi ThAyAr rules over SrI Vaikuntam eternally
and stands as the very embodiment of Aanandham.
Lord VaradarAjan as SrI Vaikunta NaaTan unites the Muktha
Jeevan with nithya Sooris and other Muktha Jeevan , blesses
this Jeevan to perform nithya Kaimkaryam to Him and His divine
consort .The divine couple enables the liberated jeevan to perform
all the Kaimkaryams that it could not perform until then due to
karma bandham(sambhandham) .
 
Lord VaradarAjan is saluted endearingly here as " AnthamilA AruLAzhi
Atthigiri ThirumAL" , who as the eternal divinity with His sacred consort
( ThirumAthudanE ) rules over SrI Vaikuntam as the unique Chakravarhti
( Tani arasAi uRaihinRa anthamil pEr inbham ) of that land of infinite bliss .  
 
258. Phala Sruthi
************************
Ayan paNiyum Atthigiri AruLALar adiyiNai mEl
nayankaL seRi Kacchi nagar nAnnmaRayOr nallaruLAl
payankaL ivai anaitthum yenap-paNDuraitthAr  padi uraittha
viyan kalaikaL yeerainthum vEdhiyarkku iniyanavE ---(11)   
 
This prabhandham was created in tune with the upadEsams of
PoorvAchAryAs and has been realized with the anugraham of
Parama BhAgavathAs , who have the good fortune of enjoying
the dhivya soundharyam and KalyANa guNams of Lord VaradarAjan ,
who presides over Atthigiri . When the reciters of aruttha Panchaka
Paasurams examine the meanings of them , their resulting
phalan is understood as the paasurams themselves pregnant with
the deepest of  meanings. .Only MahAns with familiarity of the meanings
of Vedams can relate to them and enjoy the  sweetnes of the meanings of
these Paasurams.
