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 .
