SrI: (960) (PraNavam) Dhvaya Prabhava vijn~AthrE nama : (Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who understood fully the glories of Dhvaya Manthram . (Comments) : (1)In the DhvayAdhikAram ( 28th Chapter of SrImath Rahasya Thraya Saaram ) , Swamy Desikan salutes the glories of Dhvaya Manthram , which is a Taanthrika Manthram that has roots in Vedam . It is present as two seperate manthrams in Kata Valli ( KatOpanishad) and each of its 25 aksahrams (letters) are covered seperately in Sri Prasna Samhithai . (2)SaasthrAs instruct us that an aasthikan , who understands the meaning of this manthram and recites it even once will gain him MOksham thru upAya anushtAnam ( performance of SaraNAgathi). (3)It has more glories than the other manthrams as indicated by Bhagavaan in SaraNAgathy Gadhyam : " yEna kEnApi prakArENa dhvya VakthA thvam " ( You who recite dhvyam in some manner or other). Sri RanganAthan suggested that AchArya RaamAnuja standing before Him on that Panguni Uttharam day reciting Dhvayam in some manner or other ( either knowing the meaning of that Manthram fully or at a general level).This dhvaya mantham is going to be the Manthram to be recited during one's SaraNAgathy anushtAnam or helping one later to perform SaraNAgathy ( UpAya anushtAnam) and thus becomes useful to gain Moksham ( Moksha PrayOjanam). (4) The dhvaya Manthram revealing completely the doctrines of SaraNyan- SaraNAgathy-Phalan through one manthram has more glory than many other manthrams that limit themselves to reveal one or other guNams of the Lord. (961) (PraNavam) Dhvaya sabdha nirukthi-vidhE nama : (Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who understood clearly the reason for its name as "Dhvayam ". (Commentary): Dhvayam means a pair.That pair is UpAyam ( Means) and upEyam (Phalan) . Dhvayam reveals this pair (UpAya-UpEyam) that one desiring MOksham(Mumukshu) should know . This is the traditional meaning of the word Dhvayam as a Manthram . (962) (PraNavam) Dhvaya thrayee moola-tAntra manthrathva sTApankashamAya Nama : (Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who had the skills to establish that dhvayam is a Taantrika manthram that came to us via Vedams . (Commentary): In Vedam ( Kata Valli ) , the AshtAkshara PrakaraNam houses the dhvaya Manthram in two parts interspersed with other manthrams . These two parts that unite to form dhvaya manthram are recited separately in Kata Valli . Later , Kata Valli points out that those two parts have to be united and recited by one , who seeks Moksha PurushArTam.Sri Prasna Samhithai analyzea the 25 aksharams (letters ) of dhvaya manthaam one by one and then unites them to form the full manthram . Therefore Dhvaya manthram is a Taantrika manthram with its foundations in the Vedam (Veda-Moola - Taantrika Manthram) . (963) (PraNavam) Lakshmi PurushakArathva mAnaj~nAya Nama: (Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who developed the reasons for the unique PurushakArathvam of Sri DEvi based on six PramANams . (Commentary): The first letter of dhvayam is "SrI" with links to MahA Lakshmi/ SrI Devi. The investigation of the meaning of this letter points out the unique PurushakArathvam ( intercession and pleading aspect) of the Divine Mother. Swamy Desikan uses six pramANams in his Sri Sookthi of NikshEpa Rakshai to explain the PurushakAram of SrI DEvi. (1) Artha SvabhAvam : She is the Mother of the Universe .She does not display any anger unlike Her Lord towards Her children . She displays instead great affection for us. If we approach the Lord through Her , Lord can not refuse us because of the powerful influence She has over Him .This is Her artha SvabhAvam . (2) AnushtAna PramANam ( The way followed by our ancestors ): After HiraNya samhAram , Brahma and others were scared to approach the ferocious Lord ; they performed SarNaagathy to Sri Devi and approached the Lord with Her in the front to eulogize Him .During RaamAvathAram , LakshmaNa Swamy had SitA Piratti in front to perform his saraNAgathy to the Lord , His brother . (3) Loka dhrushti( the way of the world ): It is seen that the King does not punish the servants of the inner chambers heavily even if they have committed serious offenses . The King gives them a light sentence and forgives them after they perform NamaskaraNam and other small acts .This is what we see in the world ( lOka dhrushti). (4) Guru Ukthi(AchAryA's words): Swamy NammAzhwAr has revealed Sri DEvi becoming PurushakAra BhUthai in his famous Paasuram on ThiruvengadamudayAn : "AhalahillEn ". (5) Sruthi PramANam ( Veda PramANam): Sri Sookthi vaakyams like "ChandhrAm HiraNmayeem-- -- -- " relate to the performance of SaraNAgathy with Her staying in the role of PurushakAra BhUthai. (6) Smruthi: Maharishis in their Smruthis clearly state like Sounakar that " one who wishes to gain MOksham should perform Prapatthi first to Sri DEvi" . (964) (PraNavam) SripadhArTa-vidhE nama: (Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who knew the six meanings associated with SrI Sabdham . (Commentary): In the dhvaya manthram , Srimath Sabdham is met. This Srimath sabdham points out that Bhagavan together with Sri DEvi serve as upAyam , when Bhagavaan is to be approached as UpAyam . The six meanings of "SrI " sabdham are : (1) SreeyathE ( One who is approached for ujjeevanam) : The desperate jeevans intent on being rescued form SamsAric sufferings approach Her (aasrayaNam) for help . (2)SreeyathE ( One who approaches the angry Lord to reduce His anger over the erring jeevan): When the Lord decides to punish the Jeevans for their trespasses of His Saasthrams , She intercedes with Her Lord and reduces His anger and facilitates the sahaja karuNai of the Lord to become dominant to save the Jeevans from His wrath. Both the above intrepretations underline Her PurushakArathvam. (3)SruNOthi ( Listens): She listens intently to the heart rending cries of the suffering Jeevans appealing that She show them Her Lord's sacred feet for their protection . (4) SrAvayathi ( Makes Her Lord Listen): She relays to the Lord the appeals by the chEthnams that have committed aparAdhams and makes Her Lord listen . These two acts are also linked to PurushakArathvam. (5)SruNAthi( Destroys): She destroys those karmAs which stand in the way of performing upAyam ( UpAya VirOdhi karmAs) and PrApthi VirOdhi KarmAs ( that which stand in the way of gaining the Phalan of Moksham). (6) SreeNAthi ( Makes us reach the stage of guNa Pakkuvam or ripening ): She prepares the Jeevan to attain the proper maturation state to recieve the Lord's grace.
