SrI:

Dear SrI VaradarAja BhakthAs :

Let us study the SeventthPaasuram  of
Thirucchinna Maalai ( Paasuram 275 of Desika
Prabhandham ) in this posting . It deals with
the glorious Dhvaya manthram , which is our
staff duirng wanderings on this earth prior to
reaching the Supreme abode of the dhivya dampathis  .

 275. ahalahillAt-ThirumahaLAr anbhar vanthAr
            adi iraNDum aarAhat-tanthAr vanthAr
         puhalillAr puhalAhum Punithar vanthAr
            ponn ulahil ThiruvudanE ThihazhvAr vanthAr
         ahilam yelAm aanandhamAnAr vanthAr
            adiyiNaikkeezh vaitthu adimai koLvAr vanthAr
         pahal naduvE iravu azhaikka vallAr vanthAr
            pahal onRAi iravu azhitthavar vanthAr ThAmE

(Meaning): Lord VaradarAjan  is the object of adoration of
MahA Lakshmi ( PerumdEvi ThAyAr) , who is never away from
Him even for a fraction of a second. He is the One , who pointed out
His matchless pair of feet ( ThiruvadikaL) as the means for Moksham.
He is the most compassionate One , who stands in place of difficult to
practise upAyams like Bhakthi Yogam for the benefit of those , who can not
undertake the pursuit of such upAyams.He is the radiant One , who shines
with His PirAtti at SrI Vaikuntam . He is the most generous One , who makes
available His two Isvaryams ( LeeelA and Nithya VibhUthis) , auspicious
ThirumEni and GuNams to the assembly of Mukthas and NithyAs ( Liberated
Jeevans )  and let them enjoy those blisses as ParipoorNa BrahmAnandham .
He is the welcoming One , who initiates His devotees to perform kaimkaryams
for Him and accepts them with pleasure.  He is the all powerful One ,
who invited the darkness of the night to hide the bright midday Sun .
He is the illustrious One , who banishes the long , dark  night of SamsAram
and makes Mukthi ( Moksham) as the bright reigning day.

Swamy Desikan has extolled the glories of the Manthra Rathnam ,
the Dhvayam , in many of His SrI Sookthis ranging from SrIMath
Rahasya Thraya Saaram to Dhvaya Churukku. This paasuram is
a succinct summation of the power and meanings of htis most sacred
Manthram dear to SrI VaishNavAs .

Let us correlate the passages from this Paasuram relating to the Dhvayam
with the sections of the Dhvaya Manthram itself :

"ahalahilA" = The Madhubh portion riding with the SrI Sabdham as the first
word of Dhvaya Manthram.

" adi iraNDum aaRAha " = this is the elaboration of the " CharaNou SaraNam "
section of the dhvaya manthram .

"Puhal illAr " = connects to " PrapadhyE " section of the manthram.
( denoting Vinai muRRil uLLa Tanmai vihuthiyin poruL ).

" PuhalAhum " = refers to the Lord standing in the place of
other UpAyams like Bhakthi Yogam .

" Punithar " = refers to MahA VisvAsam , one of the key angams of
one's Prapatthi .

" Ponnulahil " and " Akhilam " = the elaboration of the dhavya manthra
section , " SrImathE NaarAyaNAya ".

" adiyiNaikkeezh vaitthu adimai koLvAr" = this passage refers to
the fourth case (Vibhakthi ) accompanying the NaarAyaNa
sabdham ( NaarAyaNAya ) .

" pahal naduvE Iravu" = the dark samsAric night ; the shrinking
of Jn~Anam ( JN~Ana sankOsam) for SamsAris due to their
accumulated karmAs.It is also linked to the aksharam , "Ma" of
the Nama: sabdham of the dhvaya manthram.

" IravazhitthAr" = the destruction of the encircling virOdhi
( KaaLa Raathri of SamsAram ) associated with the Nama:
sabdham of the dhvaya manthram is saluted here.

Once upon a time lost in memory , Our compassinate Mother ,
MahA Lakshmi saw the Jeevans struggling in SamsAric ocean
and was moved to ask Her Lord to bless the Jeevans with
a means ( UpAyam ) for practise ( anushtAnam ) that would
rescue them form the dangers of drowning . The ever-responding Lord
united two seperate sentences of the Upanishad and blessed the Jeevans
to recite it at all times as an ujjevana ( rescuing) manthram. Since two
parts were united , the resulting manthram is known as Dhvayam.The first
part deals with the UpAyam (means) and the second part the fruits there of
(Phalan).  The first part is associated with the choice of the Lord as
the object of surrender by the Jeevan for protection.The second part
deals with  the actual samarpaNam of its Svaroopam , the burden of
its (Jeevan's) protection and the fruits of that responsibility for that
protection
to the Lord Himself . This is why the Manthram resulting from the union of
two seperate Veda BhAgams is named Dhvayam .

We will study more about the detailed meanings of Dhvayam in
the other Desika Prabhandham ( Dhvaya Churukku) that is yet to
be covered .
