Sri:

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

Dear Kumari Kalaivani,

Adiyen thinks Sriman Sadagopan Iyengar Swamin answered your question
towards the end of his post by highlighting the role of Acharya
Kataksham. Without this, nobody can beget the grace of the Lord.

The ChandOgya Upanishad states "AcharyADdhaiva vidhya viDhithA
sAdhishtam prApath" (Knowldge gained from an Acharya alone will lead
one to the ultimate good [Moksham]). Swami Desikan declares in the
Subhashita nivi "ekaIva gurOr dhrushtyA..." (The benefit conferred
by the looks of an Acharya with a single eye exceeds the combined
benefit conferred from the looks of the three eyed one [Shiva],
eight eyed one [Brahma] and the thousand eyed one [Indra/Perumal].
What then to speak of one who receives the full glances from two
eyes of his Acharya? "

Since none of the mentioned rakshasas had the benefit of Acharya
Kataksham, the question of moksham for them does not arise.

Namo Narayana,

SriMuralidhara Dasan
