SrI:
 
Dear BhakthAs :
 
(965) (PraNavm) Dhvaya manthra padhavrAtha 
pratyEka vyAruthi priyAya nama: 
 
(meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who blessed us with the meanings of
each padham of dhvaya manthram and the aspects of understanding their
sambhandhams (anusandhAna amsams) . 
 
(Comments): (A)" Sriman NaarAyaNa charaNou " means for the sacred feet of
NaarAyaNan alone .The meaning if SrI Sabdham has been covered earlier .
The "Madhubh " ( maann) sabdhham means being united always (i-e).,
He is united with PirAtti always.  
 
(B) " NaarAyaNa" sabdham : It has many meanings : (1)He is the support (aadhAram)
for the Jeevans ;(2) He is the UpAyam (means ) for the Jeevans;(3) He is the Phalan
for the jeevans; (4) He is the one who entered (anupravEsam) the Jeevans as indweller ; (5) He is the abode of  Jeevans et al .  
 
(C) " CharaNou ": This is also taken as " Sriman NaarAyaNa charaNou " in
an expanded sense . Here it means , " Srimann/Lakshmi Sahitha NaarAyaNa !
Your sacred feet alone is SaraNam  .  I utterly trust those sacred feet (MahA
Viswaasam) and I have no other support (aakinchanyam) and perform SaraNAgathy
( PrapadhyE) .
 
Until now , the Poorva BhAgam of Dhvayam ( the UpAya BhAgam ) is covered .
The second BhAgam deals with the Phalan .
 
(D) "SrimathE " : For the Lord of SrI Devi ; among the Divine couple , who are
the object of Kaimkaryam , focus is on the auspicious attributes of Piraatti alone is
referred to .
 
(E) " NaarAyaNAya ": For the Lord of Sri Devi alone ; among the divine couple ,
who are the object of Kaimkaryam , the Swamithva guNams of the Lord is referred to .
The "aaya" sabdham refers to " for Him alone " and links to Kaimkaryam .
 
(F) "Nama: " : It means that the kaimkaryam performed is not for me and to avoid
such thoughts .
 
This is the condensed meaning . The detailed meanings have to be learnt
from AchAryAs .
 
(966) (PraNavm) SrIsOpAyAnthara  STAnapatthi
sArArTa sOdhakAya nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who examined the essence of
the meaning of Prapatthi that positions Sriman NaarAyaNan in the UpaayAnthara
position/SthAnam ( in place of Bhakthi yOgam).
 
(Comments): During Prapatthi anushtAnam , we pray to the Lord this way
in the context of positioning Him in UpaayAnthara SthAnam : " Oh Lord !
Please do not place on my head the unbearable burden of UpaayAntharam
(Bhakthi yOgam).Please bear that burden Yourself and at the same time bless us
with the fruits of bearing that burden.Your limitless sakthi and KaruNai enable
You to grant us the Phalan of difficult to practise Bhakthi yOgam thru the practise
of Prapatthi itself . You stand in the place of the UpaayAntharam and thus enable us
to gain the PurushArTam .
 
(967) (PraNavam) KaarpaNya-gOpthruvaraNa saarTOpAyathva
yAchanAya nama:
 
(Meaning):Salutations to that AchAryan , who accepted the point of view
that KaarpaNyam and Gopthruva VaraNam together are essential to  be
successful in UpAyathva PrArthanai .
 
(Comments): UpAyathva PrArthanai becomes meaningful thru KaarpaNyam
and gopthruva VaraNam . During Prapatthi observance , the important aspect
is the prayer to the Lord : " Bhagavann ! You alone should become the UpAyam
(means) for Moksham . This is UpAyathva PrArtanai . It has another part (angam):
KaarpaNyam.  The mood of KaarpaNyam assumes : " I am powerless to practise
the difficult Bhakthi yOgam . I place that burden on You. Please save me from it
and accept that burden to be borne by Yourself ." Gopthruva VaraNam is the prayer
to ask the Lord alone to be one's protector. This prayer says : " Oh Lord ! Please do not
place the burden of bearing upAyAntharam on me . If it is to be borne , please accept
as Your burden the granting of the Phalan from such an effort ". If one does not include
either of these prayers , then the goals of Prapatthi will not be fulfilled .  
 
(968) (PraNavam) UpAyavaraNAdhyAthma-nikshEpAngithva
sAdhakAya nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who established that
the UpAyathva prArtanai with Bhara SamarpaNam is the key
(angi/PradhAnam )  in Prapatthi observance and that aanukoolya
sankalpam et al are  the parts of the above angi . 
 
(Comments) : We seek as Phalan for Prapatthi the staying of the Lord in
the place of Bhakti yOgam and granting us the phalan of Moksham . The direct
reason for the Phalan is Upaayathava prArthanai combined with Bhara
SamarpaNam .Therefore we call the latter as angi . Rest are angams.
 
(969) (PraNavam) dhvyaOttharArTa gamyArta purushArTa
niroopakAya nama: 
 
(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan, who had the skills to instruct us
on the PurushArTam ( Phalan) revealed by the second part of the Dhvaya
mantram .
 
(Coments): Sofar the meaning of the first portion of Dhvayam(Sriman NaarAyaNa
charaNou SaraNam prapadhyE ) was discussed.Now the meaning of the second
part is covered .This part deals with the special phalan that befits our svarropam
as Seshan (Servant of the Lord) and the Lord's role as Seshi (Master) and the lofty
dharmam of Prapatthi . This special Phalan that we gain from the observance of
successful prapatthi is the engagement in Bhagavath Kaimkaryam with Bhagavath
anubhavam. That Phalan is for the Lord alone (SrImathE NaarAyaNAya). "Nama: "
means engagement in Bhagavath Kaimkaryams with out ahankAra-MamakArams.
 
(970) (PraNavm) Dhvaya manthra mahAvAkya yOjanA-thraya
saadhakAya nama: 
 
(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who gave the meanings of Dhvaya
manthram as the three MahA Vaakya yOjanais .
 
(Comments): Dhvaya Manthram is considered as being made up of these
combinations : the Poorva KaNDam is made up of one Vaakyam (sentence).
SrimathE NaarAyaNAya and nama: are the two other vaakyams. If all the three
vaakyams are united into one MahA Vaakyam , that yields the UpAyam of Prapatthi
as a dominant theme for our reflection . The "nama: sabdham is for destruction of
the enemies for Bhagavath Kaimkaryam." SrImathE NaarAyaNAya "  is for the purpose
of ParipoorNa Kaimkaryam to the Lord associated with His PirAtti. The integrated
meaning of Dhvayam is hence : adiyEn is an akinchanan . adiyEn performs prapatthi
with its 5 angams  at the sacred feet of SrIman NaarAyaNan (aathmaRakshA-
Bhara SamarpaNam) to disassociate myself from the burden of protecting myself .
