May the glorious Venkatanatha, the greatest of teachers of Vedanta, and the 
lion among poets and debaters, reside forever in my heart.

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

Here is yet another upakAram - as mentioned beautifully by His Holiness 
Srimath Azhagiya singar 45th pattam- in one of his upanyasams. [as posted by 
Sri Satakopan, USA in his inimitable style]

kazhiyAtha KaDuvinayil paDintha nammaik-
  kaalam ithu yenRorukkAl kaaval seythu
pazhiyAtha Nall-vinayil paDinthAr thALil
  paNivitthup paasankaL adaya neekki
suzhiyAtha sevvazhiyil ThuNaivarODE
  tolayAtha pErinbham tara mEl-yERRi
azhiyAtha AruLAzhip PerumAn seyyum
  anthamilA Udhavi yellAm aLappAr AarE ?

--Swamy Desikan's UpakAra Sangraham: Last Paasuram

The title chosen by Srimath Azhagiya Singar for His VyAsam (essay) is " 
PazhiyAtha nall-Vazhiyil paadinthAr "( One who has performed the blemishless 
and auspicious upAyam of Prapatthi as a sacred AchAryan).

Text of the translation
************************
We have committed powerful sins that can not be removed by any number of 
prAyacchitthams(expiatory rites). Emperumaan is always thinking about the 
appropriate time to protect us committing such heinous paapams. When some of 
the good deeds (sukruthams) fruition , then our Lord
comes forth to protect us , the paapAthmAs(sinful ones).

At that time, He does not come to our rescue directly . He makes us fall at 
the feet of a SadaachAryan and  starts us thereby to ascend the steps of 
Parama Padham led by AdhivAhikars.

Who can inded measure the many and munificent parmaOpakArams of our Lord 
through linking us
--engaged in unrelenting paapa kaaryams-- to the unbroken chain of AchArya 
paramparai ?
Indeed ,there is no one , who can adequately measure and describe the great 
upakArams of the Lord to us , the JeevAthmAs in this matter .

This UpakAra sangraham paasuram of Swamy Desikan needs to be reflected upon 
by all aasthikAs.In this
tradition , many AchArya paramparais of Bhagavath RaamAnuja SampradhAyam 
strive intensely for the upliftment (ujjIvanam)of their sishyA paramparais.

Thanks to Sri Satakopan swAmin for his permission.

Salutations to Sri Venkatesa, in whom all perfections reside, who is the 
teacher of Vedanta and the lion among poets and debaters
