Desika Prabhandham--> IX: Paasurams 73-75
(Moola Manthra , Dhvaya & Charama slOka adhikArams)

 SrI:
  
 Dear Swamy  Desika BhakthAs:
  
In this posting , adiyEn will cover 3 more Paasurams( 73-75) of
Desika Prabhandham , which are the 34th to the 36th  Paasurams of
AdhikAra Sangraham.They deal with  the most important 
rahasyams of AshtAksharam ( Moola Manthram) , Manthra Rathnam
( Dhvayam ) and BhagavaAn's own upadEsam ( Charama SlOakm)
for our upliftment . 
 
(73)Moola ManthrAdhikAram 
************************
SrIman NaarAtyaNan is the sole cause for the Universe and 
stands superior to all gods as SarvEswaran. He protects 
all of His creation. We who are different from insentients 
stand as His eternal servants . We pray for the boon of nithya
kaimkaryam peformed by Nithya Sooris in SrI Vaikuntam 
by banishing our ahankAra-mamakArams , by seeking the Lord
alone as the upAyam (means) for gaining Moksha sukham.
We hold on to our Lord's sacred feet firmly and place 
the burden of protection and the fruit of protection at
His holy feet to enjoy this eternal and joyous kaimkaryam
to Him at His Supreme abode of SrI Vaikuntam.
We have been initated in to the Moola Manthram 
with its deep meanings by our AchAryAs and we 
recite it and reflect on its meanings for sathsathi .  

The key passage in this Prabhandha Paasuram is:

" uyirAy mAymai theernthu , maRRu ohr vazhi  inRi ,
  adaikkalamAy payanthavan NaarAYaNan paadhangaL
  sErnthu nall manu Ohdinam " 
 
(meaning ): After removal of the ajn~nam about 
the Svaroopam of the JeevAthman/chEthanam ( being different 
from the insentients/achEthanam) , we hold on to the sacred 
feet of our Lord , SrIman NaarAyaNan alone as the unfailing 
means for our protection and  recitte  His Moola manthram 
and meditate on its many rejuvenating meanings .

74) DhvayAdhikAram
*****************
SrIman NaarAyaNan united two separate passages
of Kata Valli of Vedam and transformed it in to Dhvaya 
Manthram and blessed us with it as the loftiest gem among 
manthrAs.  We are firm about the meaning of this manthram
(as instructed by our AchAryAs) as being the performance 
of nithya Kaimkaryam to the Divine couple (dhivya Dampathis)
at SrI Vaikuntham without the ahankAra-mamakArams 
after seeking our Lord's holy feet as the sole means for 
our protection .We reflect on these meanings of dhvayam .

The key words of this paasuram are: " Ohdhum iraNDai 
isaitthu udhavum ThirumAl paadham iraNDUm saraNN
yena paRRi , namm PankayatthAL NaaTanai naNNI ,
nalam thihazh nAttil adimai yellAm kOdhu il uNartthiyudan
koLLumARu kuRitthanam" 

"Odhum iraNDu, isaitthu udhavum ThirumAl " refers to 
the helpful Lord , who united the two Vaakyams from
the Vedam and blessed us with the resulting  dhvaya manthram 
out of His infinite compassion for us.

"ThirumAl padham iraNDum saraN yena paRRi namm
 PankayatthAL NaaTanai NaNNInOm " . We approached
the Lord of MahA Lakshmi and held on to His sacred feet
as the sole upAyam for our protection from SamsAric 
afflictions and left the burden and fruits of that protection
unto Him. 

We did this with a purpose : " nalam thihazh nAttil adimai
yellAm kOthu il uNartthiyudan kuRitthanam" 

We recited the dhvaya manthram and reflected on its
profound meanings to be blessed with nithya kaimakryam
free of ahankAra  mamakAra blemishes in the land of 
endless bliss, His supreme abode.

75) The Meaning of our Lord's Charama slOkam
**************************************
This paasuram the 36th paasuram of AdhikAra 
Sangraham and deals with the content of the 29th
chapter of SrImath Rahasya Thraya Saaram ,
Charama slOka adhikAram .

(Meaning ) : With a determined mind and limitless
compassion , Lord KrishNa blessed us with His 
Charama slOkam to banish our sufferings as SamsAris ,
who do not have the capabilities and fitness to practise
the difficult-to-observe  upAyams like Bhakthi yOgam 
to gain Moksham. He blessed us the Charama slOkam with
great care using Arjuna as an excuse . His firm intention
has been to banish all the bundles of sins form those,
who surrender unto His holy  feet and request His 
protection. He assured His protection and asked us 
not to worry anymore after performing  Prapatthi to Him .
We as PrapannAs recite the charama slOkam , reflect on
its deep meanings and have our ajn~Anam destroyed,
sorrows banished and are free from any doubts about
the phalan of   protection assured by our Lord .   

The key passage in this Paasuram is : " KuRippudan mEvum
dharumangaL inRi akkOvalanAr aruL vAchahatthAl 
maruL aRRanam " ( Being unfit and powerless to observe
the upAyams like Bhakthi yOgam that need enormous 
discipline and single mindedness, we chose the easy-to-
practise upAyam revealed to us in His Charama slOkam,
which was blessed to us by our Lord out of His firm grace 
and limitless dayA to destroy all of our past sins and those
accumulated consciously or otherwise during the post-prapatthi
stage in our lives .
