***********************************************************

(46)(PraNavam) Kaama-krOdhAdhi nikhila dhurAthma-guNa varjithAya nama:

Salutations to that great AchAryan , who is totally free from
any inauspicious guNam like the desire for vishaya sukham ( Kaamam) 
and anger( krOdham)!

(47)(PraNavam) BhArathAdhyuktha-sakala-sathAthma guNa 
bhUshithAya nama:

Salutations to that SadAchAryan , who adorns all
the Aathma guNams referred to in MahA BhAratham and 
dharma soothrams!

There are two sources of references for the above aathma guNams.
One set counts the following 8 guNams: Praj~nA ( throrough 
familiarity with Tatthva Thrayam and ArTa panchakam) , Koulyam
(high birth in a srEshta kulam) , dhamam (Control over
Indhriyams) ,vEda Jn~Anam , ParAkramam ( Power to accomplish 
Kaimkaryams ) , abhaubhAshithvam (moderation in speech), dhAnam 
( Charity )and krutaj~nathA (gratefulness) .The other set enlists 
another octad: DayA Sarva bhUthEshu (Compassion for all ), 
KshAnthi(Forberance) , anasooyA ( lack of jealousy), parisuddhi
(AachAram) , anAyAsam ,MangaLam ,Freedom from anger and
desire for Vishaya Sukham (vairAgyam).

Gouthama soothram points out further that one will not
realize Brahma Saayujyam (Moksham) without posessing 
these 8 aathma guNams even if one completed 
the performance of the 40 samskArams prescribed by our 
ancient sampradhAyam.Srimad Bhagavad Gita emphasizes 
again the importance of Forbearance , VairAgyam and 
freedom from ahankAram.

(48)(PraNavam) SaasthrOktha-sakalAchArya-lakshmAvAsa-
varasTalayai nama:

Salutations to that great AchAryan , who is the noble abode of 
all AchArya lakshaNams prescribed by the SaasthrAs !

Vedam , Smruthi state that utthama vamsam , AchAram , clear
VedAntha Jn~Anam as some of these requisite lakshaNams.
In this context , KooratthAzhwAn is the ideal example of
a sishyan (Sishya lakshaNa poorNar). Swamy Desikan is
one of the ideal examples of a SadAchAryan.Swamy Desikan himself 
has described for our benefit the requisites of a SadAchAryan 
in the first slOkma of NyAsa Vimsathi: Siddham sathsampradhAyE--). 

(49)(PraNavam) SrIvaishNavAnEkalakshma-SObhitha svarNa-
vigrahAya nama:

Salutations to that SadAchAryan , who adorns on His
ThirumEni the auspicious VaishNava chihnams (symbols)like 
the disc , Conch on His shoulders , the twelve PuNDrams ,
TuLasi and Lotus bead maalais around His neck.

PrathivAdhi Bhayankaram Annan visualizes the beautiful
ThirumEni of Swamy Desikan with unique ViashNava
lakshaNams in his Sapthadhi Rathna MaalikA slOkam :

Sasankha-chakra lAncchanas- sadhUrdhva-puNDramaNDitha:
sakaNDalagna satthuLasyanarga padhmamAlika:
sithAntarIya soottharIya Yaj~nasoothra ShObitha:
mamaavirasthu maanasE Gurussa VenkatEsawara:

Here , Swamy Annan visualizes the beautiful form of
Swamy Desikan with Chakra and Sankha mudrAs on
His shoulders , the twelve Urdhav PuNDrams on
His upper torso , the TuLasi and the Lotus bead 
maalais around His neck , shining upper grament and 
resplendent Yaj~nOpaveetham . Swamy Annan prays
for the retention in his mind of this beautiful form of his
AchAryan , Swamy Desikan with shining VaishNava lakshaNams .

(50)(PraNavam) Agasthya Saaka-pramukha sAthvIkAhara 
bhAsurAya nama:

Salutations to the Great AchAryan , who partook SaathvIka
food like Ahatthi Keerai to enhance His Saathvika guNam !

Swamy Desikan blessed us with a SrI Sookthi revered as 
AahAra Niyamam . He complied for us the SaathvIka aahAram 
that we have to consume to grow our Satthva guNaam 
that is essential to perform Bhagavath-BhAgavatha Kaimkaryams
and seek Moksham through Prapatthi or Bhakthi yOgam.The special
spinach known as ahatthi Keerai is one such Saathvic food dear to
SrI VaishNavAs . It is considered as "VaishNava Saakham" and
is on the top of the list of offerings at SrArddhams(VaishNavam
Saakham SrArddhE yathnEna tApayEth).One should obtain ahatthi
keerai even with great effort and offer it to the Pithrus 
states the above saying.
