(PraNavam ) AyOdhyAdh-utthara-disA dhivya desa- gathi priyAya nama: Salutations to that SadAchAryan , who was very fond of going on pilgrimage to Northern dhivya dEsams like AyOddhi ! Swamy desikan left Kaanchi and arrived at ThiruvahIndhrapuram and spent many years there performing Kaimakryam and MangaLAsAsanam for Lord DevanAthan. After that , he left ThiruvahIndhrapuram , travelled to ThirukkOvalUr , Kaanchi , Thirumalai and thereafter went on a pilgrimage to dhivya dEsams in the north like AhObilam , AyOddhi , Vada Mathurai, NaimisAraNyam et al . In his SrI Sookthi, Sankalpa SooryOdhayam , Sawmy Desikan includes some of the MangaLAsAasana slOkams for the northern dhivya dEsams. 92. (Pranavam) KaanchImAyee-yathikshudhra-nirAsi sthambha- lEkanAya nama: Salutations to that Great AchAryan who controlled a low level sanyAsi(a MaayAvi) by scratching on a nearby pillar to counter his misdeed ! One day , a lowly sanyAsi contested Swamy Desikan in debate and lost quickly.He was angry . Being a practitoner of magic , he went to a nearby pond and began to drink the water from that pond to harm Swamy Desikan . This led to Swamy Desikan's stomach becoming swollen and caused pain to him. Swamy recfognized quickly the trick played by the Kshudhra sanyAsi and used his nail to scratch a pillar next to him. Lo and behold! all the water drunk by the MaayAvi began to pour out of that pillar . The SanyAsi understood Swamy Desikan's loftiness thereafter and fell at our AchAryan's feet and asked for pardon for committing such an offense. 93. (Pranavam) VidhyAraNya-chamathkAradhAyee- VairAgyapanchakAya nama: PraNAmams to that Parama VairAgyasAli, who surprised his boyhood friend , VidhyAraNyar through the SrI Sookthi of VairAgya panchakam ! VidhyAraNyar was the court vidhvAn of the Vijayanagara King. He was also a boyhood friend of Swamy Desikan. Feeling bad that Swamy Desikan was eking his livelihood through unchavrutthi, VidhyAraNyar sent a note to his friend to come to the royal court to shake off his poverty and live in a manner befitting his (Sawmy Desikan's) Scholarship.Swamy Desikan politely refused the well meant invitaion and the offer. VidhyAraNyar pressed his friend again to reconsider. Swamy Desikan composed as his response , five great slOakms,which categorically rejected serving anyone except Lord VaradarAjan of Kaanchi and emphasized that was the eternal wealth bequeathed to him . The whole world revered the Virakthi and VairAgyam of Swamy Desikan , when they came to know of the lofty message contained in the slOkams of VairAgya panchakam. 94. (PraNavam) Krutha-sEswaramImAmsAya nama: PraNAmams to that SadAchAryan , who blessed us with the SrIsookthi of sEswara MeemAmsA! MeemAmsa Saasthram deals with the various aspects of Yaagams and sacred rites.The commentators before Swamy Desikan rejected Iswaran and asserted that the Yaagams alone have the power to yield the fruits that one seeks. Swamy Desikan straightened out these incorect views and established that Iswaran is the One , who grants the fruits arising from the efforts such as Yaagams and that Yaagams are only for worshipping Iswaran . Swamy thus showed that sEswara MeemAmsam or the MeemAmsam that recognizes the Lord as the sole Phala-dhAyakan is the correct view that is compatible with the views of the author of Poorva MeemAmsa , Sage Jaimini. 95. (Pranavam) MeemAmsapadhukA-kruthayE nama: PraNAmams to that Great AchAryan , who composed the srEshta grantham named MeemAmsa PaadhukA ! Just as the PaadhukAs protect one's feet from the thorns and stones of the road , MeemAmsa PaadhukA protects the MeemAmsa Saasthram from the wrong intrepretations of commentators , who twisted the views of the original author, Sage Jaimini, the disciple of Sage VyAsA. 96. (Pranavam) BhaDDaathi-sUthra-dhurvyAkhyA-nirAkaraNa dakshiNAya nama: Salutations to the great AchAryan , who had the penetrating intellect to reject the incorrect intrepretations of the original Poorva MeemAmsa Soothrams by KumArila Bhattar, PrabhAkarar and the like! 97. (praNavam ) ParisankhyAkhya-vidhyarTa-nirUpaNa dhurandharAya nama: PraNAmams to the SadAchAryan , who clearly explained the complex rules such as ParisankhyA Vidhi that one comes across in MeemAmsa Saasthram and its commentaries ! ParisankhyA Vidhi (injunction) is met with , when instruction is given to follow one path, while two routes are open . For example , those who are engaged in speaking can tell either the truth or lie. To prevent people from speaking the untruth, Vedam gives the Vidhi : "sathyam Vadha" . Additional examples about parisankhyA Vidhi are given by Swamy Desikan in sEswara MeemAmsA ( 1.2.42). 98. (PraNavam) SrIranganATa-sEnEsa-SAsaNOtthamsana- priyAya nama: Salutations to that ParamAchAryan , who placed the order of Lord VishvaksEnar on his head with reverence and obeyed it! At one time, Some paramatha scholars were criticizing VisishtAdhvaitham . They insisted that the local AchAryAs engage them in debate to establish the accuracy of Bhagavath RaamAnuja Darsanam. The SrIrangam based AchAryAs were at a loss as how to handle this pressure from them . They sent mail to Swamy Desikan at Kaanchi and headed that message with the statement: " By the command of VishvaksEsnar , the Chief of Staff of the army of Lord RanganATan ". Swamy responded to that command to come to SrIrangam with alacrity and reverence and arirved at SrIrangam to defeat the contestants in debate. 99. (PraNavam) BhaDDaarakAdhyuktha-reethi-RangisEvA- kramOthsukAya nama: Salutations to that SadAchAryan , who was joyous in performing MangaLAsAsanam for Lord RanganATan in the manner pracised by Swamy ParAsara Bhattar in his time ! Swamy ParAsara Bhattar described in the Poorva Sathakam of SrI RangarAja Sthavam the kramam to worship LOrd RanganATan at SrIranga KshEthram. The kramam (the sequence) of that worship shown by Swamy ParAsara Bhattar is: AchArya Vandhnam ,Guru ParamparA dhyAnam , CauvEry snAnam , Gopura darsanam , DhvAra Paalaka vandhanam , stops at the Thousand pillar MaNDapam ,washing feet at Chandra PushkaraNi , visit to AzhwAr Sannidhis , MEttazhagiya Singar Sannidhi , stop at the sacred Thiruppunnai tree , SEnai MudaliyAr sannidhi , Garudar Sannidhi , HanumAn sannidhi , the place where the sacred cane of VishvaksEnar rests , holding the The Wedding Pillars and finally sEvai of the reclining Lord in His sanctum sanctorium. Swamy Desikan followed this kramam established by his PoorvAchAryar , Swamy ParAsara Bhattar. 100.(Pranavam) BhagavaddhyAnasOpAna-vardhitha-SrIsa-bhakthikAya nama: Salutations to that sadAchAryan , who helps us grow our devotion to Lord RanganATA through the recitation of his SrI Sookthi , SrI Bhagavath DhyAna sOpAanam! Swamy Desikan composed a deeply moving sthOthram that is the outcome of his blissful anubhavam of Lord RanganAtha from Thiruvadi ( sacred Feet ) to Thirumudi ( the sacred crown) in the manner enjoyed by ThiruppANa AzhwAr(AmalnAdhipirAn Dhivya prabhandham). Thirukkudanthai Desikan followed Swamy Desikan's foot steps in enjoying the beauty of the reclining Lord of Thirukkudanthai, SrI AarAvamudhan and bequeathed to us his beautiful "AparyAthAmrutha DhyAna sOpAnam ). Let us conclude this posting up to 100 SahasranAmams with the recitation of the last slOkam of Sri Bhagavath DhyAna sOpAnam of Swamy Desikan with his prayers for the growth of Bhakthi to the Lord for us : RangasTAnE rasikamahithE ranjithAsEshachitthE vidhvath sEvA vimala manasA VenkatEsEna kluptham aklEsEna praNihitha dhiyAm aarurukshOravasthAm Bhakthim gADAm disathu Bhagavadh dhyAna sOpAnamEthath VAzhi vyAkhyAmuddirak kai !!!
