SrI:
 
Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs :
 
We will study TEN more of Swamy Desika Sahasra Naamams( 545- 554 ) today :
 
545.dEvEjyA-ashtAngathA-uthkarsha-varNainaka vichakshaNAya nama:
 
(meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who has the glory of describing
the loftiness of Deva-ijyai with the 8 angams (limbs) .
 
Deva Ijyai (Bhagavath AarAdhanam) has 8 parts . Performance of
the AarAdhanam with these 8 steps is the most lofty AarAdhanam .
BhagavAn Himself has stated that He will hasten the attainment of
Moksham for those , who performs such a structured aarAdhanam .
Since it hastens the gaining Moksham , this DEva Ijyai is a supreme
karmaa.
 
The 8 portions of the Deva Ijya are :
 
1. Abhigamanam: this is different from the Abhigamanam of Pancha Kaala
Prakriyai especially recommended for SanyAsis . This Abhigamanam of
Deva Ijyai is from Maanasa AarAdhanam ( Hruth ThyAgam ) to Aathma
SamarpaNam .
 
2. BhOgam : SamarpaNam of argyam , Pushpam and other external
UpachArams ( Baahya UpachArams).
 
3. Madhubharga dhAnam: Samarpanam of Madhubhargam et al.
 
4. NivEdhanam: presentation of annam for the Lord .
 
5. SampradhAnam : Distirbution of the annam presented earlier
    to the Lord .
 
6. Vahni SandharpaNam : Homam as a part of Ijyai , which is not
    in practise these days .
 
7. Pithru Yaagam : The Yaagam is done with VaasudEvAdhi Naamams .
 
8. AnuyAgam : PrANAgnihOthram / AntharyAmi NivEdham ( one's Bhojanam
    at the end of Deva Ijyai ).    
 
546. prayathnAdhyanapEksha svathassiddhOthkarsha-vasthudhrusE nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who had the skills to identify
the lofty objects (karmAs) even if they do not need major effort . ( He was
able to disprove the commonly held view that a lofty karma should always
be associated with a major effort (Prayathnam) .
 
In the worldly context , anything done with extensive effort is considered
a lofty effort . Anything which does not need such lofty efforts is considered
insignificant . Bhagavath AarAdhanam is an exception to this comon rule.
It does not need laborious effort like performing a Soma Yaagam . It is however
one of the loftiest  of Vaidhika KarmAs because of its inherent superiority .
Its loftiness results  not from Prayathnam but through its svaroopam .
 
547. ParamaikAnthi-karthavya panchakAla kriyAsudhiyE nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who knew that the PanchakAla
Prakriyai should be performed by ParamaikAnthis as well .
 
SamhithAs divide the day in to five parts ( Pancha Kaalams) and assigns
five kriyAs ( Pancha PrakriyAs ) for each of these time divisions . These are :
 
1. Abhigamanam: To be done between 6 AM and 8.24 AM ( six Naazhikais) .
This includes Japam , DhyAnam and archanam for Kaimkarya Siddhi and
performance of Prapatthi for that goal. This time frame is called "PrAtha: Kaalam ".
 
2. UpAdhAnam : This is to be done between 8.25 AM and 10.48 AM ( the next 
Six Naazhikai time division ).Here assembly of Pushpam , Fruits and items
for Bhagavath AarAdhanam .  This time frame is called "Sangava Kaalam ".
 
3. IjyA : It is to be done between 10.49 AM to 1.12 PM (MaadhyAhnika Kaalam ).
 
4. SvAdhyAyam : Reflections on BhagavAn , Hearing PurANams and dhivya
Sookthis , Reading Saasthrams . Tis time is called AprAhnam and is after 1.13 PM .
 
5. Yogam: It is the Joining of the mind with BhagavAn's sacred  feet at night .
 
This Pancha Kaala PrakriyA has to be done by every one . ParamaikAnthis are
no exception from the need to observe Pancha Kaala PrakriyA .  ParamaikAnthis
are those who do not seek any dhaivam other than BhagavAn for their rakshaNam 
and they do not seek any Phalan except Bhagavath Kaimkaryam. PrapannAs have
to observe Pancha Kaala PrakriyAs as well .
 
548. BhAshyakAra AasrayeebhUtha panchakAla prakAsakAya nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who glorified the PanchakAla
Prakriyai accepted and approved by BhAshyakArar in His nithya grantham . 
 
549. vaisEshika-thrikAlArchA abhidhAna virOdhadhrusE nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who knew that there is no inconsistency
between PancharAthra PrakriyAs and VisEsha AarAdhanams as well as
the thrikAla AarAdhanams recommended by some .
 
There are some recommendations to do BhagavathArAdhanam
three times a day .Similarly , there are special AarAdhanams prescribed
for Vishu , ayanam , GrahaNam , DhvAdasi , SravaNam days . These VisEsha
AarAdhanams are not opposed to Pancha Kaala Prakriyai . These have to be
folded in to Pancha Kaala PrakriyAs and done with special sanklapam .
 
550. SripAncharAthra-smruthyaikakaNDya sTApana dakshiNAya nama:
 
(meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who established that Sri PaancharAthram
and Smruthi injunctions  have no conflicts . He established that they are in unison
in their views and are not opposed to each other . Therefore one has to understand
that Pancha Kaala Prakriya performance does not incapacitate one from following
Smruthi ( Manu Smruthi , Saandilya Smruthi , Dharma Saasthrams)  recommendations . 
One can fold in the recommendations on KriyAs as per Smruthis in to Pancha Kaala
prakriya ( AgnihOthram in to Abhigamana time , Pithru Yaj~nam in to Ijya period etc) .
   
551. VyAsadakshdhyuktha dharmaSAstrArTa vivruthikshamAya nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who was skillful in explaining
the meaning of dharma Saasthrams blessed to us by VyAsar and Dakshar .
 
Sage VyAsa has recommended that the Vaidhika Karamaas to be done during
the entire day. When one examines them , they are found to be consistent with
the overall structure of Pancha Kaala Prakriyai . Swamy Desikan has studied
and commented on this aspect extensively .
 
Sage Dakshar has divided the day in to 8 Parts from the Karmaa Performance
point of view :
 
1. SnAna SandhyA Vandhanam , Homam , Deva Kaaryam
2. VedAbhyAsam , Vedic Instruction.
3. Acquisition of Samith and Pushpam for AarAdhanam (Ijyai).
4. VisEsha SnAnam.
5. SamarpaNam of annam for Deva , Pithru and   athithi as well as
PrANAgnihOthram .
6and 7. IthihAsam-PurAnam studies .
8. Loka Yaathrai , SandhyA Vandhanam outside the house .
 
Here , the first two items relate to Abhigamanam ; Third connects to UpAdhAnam ;
Fourth and fifth to Ijyai and the 6th and 7th to SvAdhyAyam . Yogam is separately
described by Sage Dakshar . Thus , his 8 parts easily fit without conflict in to
Pancha Kaala PrakriyA .   
 
552. sarvakriyAngabhUtha HarismaraNa bBhodhakAya nama:
 
(Meaning) : Salutations to the AchAryan , who announced that
Hari SmaraNam is to be performed at the beginning and the end of
all Vaidhika KarmAs by ever one .  
 
553. PaancharAthrOktha bhagavath0Jn~Ana nithyathva sAdhakAya nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who established that the Bhagavath
SmaraNam discussed in Sri PaancharAthram is "nithyam " .
 
Hari SmaraNam is neither Kaamyam or Niamithtikam but Nithyam but Nithyam . 
 
554. archAvathAra-rahita gruha-bhOjana dhOshavidhE nama:  
 
(Meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who knew and stated that
there is dhOsham in eating at houses , which do not have ArchA Moorthy 
in the form of consecrated Vigraham or SaaLagrAmam . The food eaten
at such houses is nishiddhAm .  The partaking of annam presented to
the Lord during AarAdhanam alone is fit for personal consumption .
