SrI:
 
Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan :

(931) (PraNavam) BhakthividhyA  siddha  hEthu prarOchana
karathvagnE nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who refuted the view that 
Bhakthi yOgam is contrary to gaining MOksham . He did not agree
with those , who stated that SaasthrAs  recommended Bhakthi yOgam 
as UpAyam for a limited few , only to enhance their faith in Saasthrams.

Swamy Desikan held the view that Bhakthi yOgam is one of the two upAyams 
for Moksham , although it is not as easy to practise as SaraNAgathy .
SaasthrAs clearly state that Bhakthi yOgam is one of the UpAyams 
for those who desire Moksham and Sriman NaarAyaNan is the Moksha 
phalam granting SiddhOpAyam . There can not therefore any objection to
Bhakthi as an UpAyam .     

(932) (PraNavam) BhakthividhyA sishtalOkaa parigraha
nivArakAya nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who refuted 
the view that PoorvAchAryAs ( Sishta lOkam ) did not 
accept Bhakthi yOgam as a fititng saadhanai for Moksham . 

Sage ParAsara practised Bhakthi Yogam . Swamy AlavanthAr , 
EmperumAnAr , KurEsar , Swamy  Desikan had the highest reverence
for Sage Paraasara , the father of VyAsa Bhagavaan for blessing us
with VishNu PurANam . To declare that Sage ParAsarA's anushtAnam 
is Svaroopa Viruddham ( against our Svaroopam )  is wrong .

(933) (PraNavam) BharanyAsAdhi sakla-kAla dharmathva 
bhanjanAya nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who refuted the view that
the anushtAnam of Bhakthi yOgam for Moksha Siddhi is not relevant for
Kali yugam . 

(Comments): There is a view that SaraNAgathy ( Prapatthi yOgam ) 
and Naama Sankeerthanam alone are appropriate to observe for
Moksham . Bhakthi yOgam is rejected as an upAyam in Kali yugam . 
Swamy Desikan refuted this argument . He held the view that 
Bhakthi and Prapatthi yOgams are valid routes for Moksham
at all times . Even in this Kali yugam , there have been qualified
souls like Swamy NaaTa Muni , who practised Bhakthi yOgam
successfully .  When Naama Sankeerthanam is suggested
by some as an UpAyam , it is intended to highlight the importance of 
the glory of singing about the Lord's names and NOT FOR 
deemphasizing Prapatthi and Bhakthi yOgam as the  two 
accepted upAyams for gaining Moksham . Prapatthi and 
Bhakthi yOgams are theMoksha Dharmam for all yugams. 
" BharanyAsAdhi Sakala Kaala dharmathva SaadhakAya
Nama: " is the homage to Swamy Desikan by the author of
DEsika Sahasra Naamams . The aadhi sabdham here refers to 
Bhakthi yOgam .

(934) (PraNavam) NyAsa PrasamsakAya Nama:

(Meaning ): Salutations to that AchAryan , who sang about
the glories of BharanyAsam , which makes one Krutha Kruthyan
( One who has completed all that he has to do in this earth) .
Swamy Desikan saluted the one  who has completed BharanyAsam 
as "Seytha vELvian " (AzhwAr's Vaakyam : one who has been
blessed to perform the Prapatthi Yaagam successfully) and 
as one who has attained the stage of NairapEshyam ( Stage, 
where one does not expect anything else in this world as a result of 
completing Prapatthi Yaagam ). 

(935) (PraNavam) NyAsa BhakthyAdhikya pradarsakAya Nama :

(Meaning ): Salutations to the AcxhAryan , who showed that
BharanyAsam is more laudable than Bhakthi yOgam  because of
the ease of performing Prapatthi and the swiftness with which 
it assures the Phalan of Moksha Siddhi . Prapatthi is powerful
to protect one , who could not hope to undertake the ardous 
and tardy-to-execute Bhakthi yOgam .That is why , Prapatthi
yOgam is hailed as being superior to Bhakthi yOgam .
