SrI:

 Dear SrI VaradarAja BhakthAs :

Let us study today the Eighth  Paasuram  of
Thirucchinna Maalai ( Paasuram 276 of Desika
Prabhandham ) in this posting . It deals with
the Charama SlOkam blessed to us by GeethAchAryan
at KurukshEthram :

276. Dharuman vida ThAmm thUthu pOnAr vanthAr
            DharaNi poRa thiNN bhAram tavirtthAr vanthAr
        aru maRayin poruL anaitthum viritthAr vanthAr
            anjina nee Yennai adai yenRAr vanthAr
        Dharamum yelAm ThAmAhi niRpAr vanthAr
           ThAmE namm vinai anaitthum tavirppAr vanthAr
        Bharam Yenathu nee pulampal YenrAr vanthAr
           Paartthanukku tEr UrnthAr vanthAr thAmE

(Meaning ): Lord VaradarAjkan is the Supreme Being with the simplicity
and soulabhyam to accept the request of Dharmaputhrar to go to
DhuryOdhanan's court as the negotiator for the PaaNDavAs. He is the One ,
who cut to the roots the enemies of His BhakthAs and reduced the big load
on Earth . He is the most merciful One , who instructed through His
Bhagavath GitA
the precious truths about the inner meanings of VedAnthA . He is the One ,
who informed that those without recourse to the practise of difficult
UpAyams like Bhakthi Yogam to surrender to Him so that they can be
freed from the fears of falling in narakam. He stands in place of all
the UpAyams for those , who seek His refuge.He destroys all the KarmAs of
those , who perform SaraNAgathi at His sacred feet. He accepts
the full responsibility for the protection   of the SaraNAgathAs and asks
them not to grieve anymore ( Ma sucha: ).He is the divine charioteer for
Arjuna.Lord PaarthasArathy of this limitless vaibhavam is now amidst us as
inferred from the sound of His Thirucchinna oli .

The links between Pasuram words and the Charama SlOkam of BhagavAn are :

1. " Dharuman vida ThAmm thUthu pOnAr"   = The limitless mercy of
the Lord to be Bhaktha ParAdheenan is referred to here.

2. " DharaNi poRA tiNN BhAram TavirtthAr" = the reason for the avathAram
of SrImad Bhagavath Geethai is hinted . As a result of SrI ParthasArathy's
UpadEsam , Arjuna engaged himself in the war and when BhAratha Yuddham
was over , the burden that Mother Earth carried until then was reduced.

3. " aruL MaRayin PoruL anaitthum viritthAr " = The referecne here is that
all the meanings elaborated in the VedAs are condensed in SrImadh Bhagavath
GitA .

4. "anjina nee Yennadai " = This is a direct echo of the Charama slOkam
passage: "MaamEkam SaraNam vraja ".

5. "Dharumam yelAm ThAmAhi NiRppAr " = The "yEka " sabdham in"MaamEkam "
is captured in this Paasuram passage.

6. " ThAmE namm vinai anaitthum tavirppAr " = This section is a direct echo
of the Charama SlOkam passage " MokshayishyAmi ".

7. " nee pulampEl " = Lord's instrcution to the Jeevan is that it should not
grieve anymore after performing SaraNAgathi to Him . That is connected
here ( Maa Sucha: ).

During the BhAratha Yuddham , Lord became the charioteer for HIs
friend Arjuna ; latter was overcome with grief over the sight of his
relatives and AchAryAs lined up to fight him . He recognized in a fight
with them , they will all be killed by him and feared about the sins that he
will accumulate by the acts of killing his BhandhUs and AchAryAs.
He was devastated and was unable to stand up to fight them .
Arjuna sought refuge in KrishaNa and asked the Lord to instruct
what is hitham under te circumstances . Our most merciful Lord took
pity on the confusion of Arjuna and instructed Arjuna through Bhagavath
GeethA the eternal nature of AathmA , Karma and Jn~Ana yOgams
and the direct means for Moksham : Bhakthi Yogam with its branches .
After BhagavAn's upadEsam , Arjuna recognized that Bhakthi Yogam
is very difficult to practise and that it gives the fruit of Moksham after
a long delay. He got agitated over his deficiencies in seeking the Bhakthi
Yogam as a means for Moksham . When the ever compassionate Lord
sensed the sorrow of His friend , ArjunA , He revealed the easy to practise
and fast fruit-yielding Prapathti Yogam and concluded His instructions .
This paasuram and the more elaborate " Charama SlOka Churukku "
SrI Sookthi focus on the glories of the unconditional Surrender to the Lord
.
