SrI:
  
 Dear Swamy  Desika BhakthAs:
   
 In this posting , adiyEn will cover the two more Paasurams of Desika 
 Prabhandham , which are the 55th and the 56th  Paasurams 
 of AdhikAra Sangraham . These two final Paasurams of 
AdhikAra Sangraham also  cover the content of the 32nd (Final)
Chapter of  SrImath Rahasya  Thraya Saaram ( NigamanAdhikAram).
With these two Paasurams , AdhilAra Sangraham is concluded .

94) The anugrahams arising from AdhikAra Sangraham
*******************************************
The key message of this paasuram is that the SrI Sookthi
of AdhikAra Sangraham and the contents covered there 
would be most enjoyable to the Lord known for His 
lotus feet brimming with honey ( tEn uLa Paadha Maalar  
ThirumAlukku titthikkum ).

Swamy  Desikan is ready to conclude His second Tamil 
Prabhandham of AdhikAra  sangraham . He makes the following
observations: " The nishtais ( status and accomplishments)
described in this Prabhandham are not with in the easy 
reach of even Indhran and Nithyasooris .Through the power 
(anguraha sakthi) of the AchAryan , we are blessed to gain
these nishtais and also see on this karma bhUmi others possessing
these rare-to-gain nishtais . Our bhAgyam is indeed worthy
of celebration ! There may be those with distorted minds 
(vakra buddhi) , who may find fault with this grantham and 
us  , who composed this prabahndham and therefore may
resent us . Inspite of them , this Prabhandham will be very 
dear to SrIman NaarAyaNan's  mind (ThiruvuLLam ) .  

95) Lord Hayagrivan's role as AchAryan for grantha nirmANam
************************************************* 
In this last slOkma of AdhikAra Sangraham , Swamy Desikan
acknowledges that this grantham was not authored by him directly.
He acknowledges his debt of gratitude to Lord HayagrIvan 
as his AchAryan for His upadEsam that was captured by him and 
transformed in to the written version . Swamy  Desikan in all
modesty appropriate for the occasion states clearly that 
this Prabhandham  is blemishless since it originated directly
from Lord  HayagrIvan serving as his AchAryan .

The key passage of this final  Paasuram of AdhikAra Sangraham is:
" VeLLaip-Parimuhar DEsikarAy virahAl adiyOm uLLatthu 
yezhuthiyathu yAmm olayil ittanam . ithaRkku yenn? " ( Lord
HayagrIvan incarnated as an AchAryan with the face of  a white 
horse and human body and wrote these pAsurams of AdhikAra
sangraham on the tablet of my  mind through the route of upadEsam.
adiyEn just took those texts imprinted in my mind and for the benefit of 
the people of the world transferred them to the palm leaves as
a SrI kOsam .Since Lord HayagrIvan , the Lord of VidhyAs 
is the author of this grantham , how can there be any blemish in 
the content or style of this grantham ? It is impossible ). 

The beauty of Swamy  Desikan's expression of his debt 
of gratitude through this paasuram  is marvellous. Normally , 
the people of the  world write/store in their mind the different 
AchArya granthams recorded on  palm leaves by scribes .
In his case , Swamy  Desikan says that He wrote on plam leaves ,
what was already  recorded on his mind by his AchAryan ,
Lord HayagrIvan , so that people of the world can benefit from
the Lord's direct upadEsam to him . 

Swamy Desikan observes further that the reviewing public may 
accept this grantham or reject them as defective ( koLLa thuNiyinum ,
kOthu yeNru ihazhinum ) . Either of these reactions does not
bother Swamy  Desikan . He says that he is not going to rejoice
because some accepted this grantham and welcomed it or he is
not going to be downcast and curse the other group, which criticizes
this grantham as faulty and reject it. His kiamkaryam is done and
he has an equanimous attitude that does not elate him or depress 
him on learning about the two kinds of reception to this grantham.
He comments about his reaction to the praise given by those 
who welcome it as a srEshta grantham: " yemm yezhil mathi 
yeLL atthanai uhavAthu" ( Our beautiful mind filled with dispassion
would not at all be elated ). In the case of those , who dismiss
this grantham as insubstantial and full of doctrinal mistakes ,
Swamy  Desikan states that his mind will not at all be angry or
displeased with those critics.

Why does Swamy Desikan takes this attitude filled with VairAgyam ?
He dismisses both the haters and lovers of this Grantham with
the statement : " ithaRkku yenn? ". He says: "what does it matter ?".
Swamy  Desikan's conviction behind this attitude is that the grantham
of AdhikAra Sangraham took its birth because of Lord HayagrIvan 
and it is HE , who is going to be happy , when critics welcome  it or 
HE is the one , who is going to be angry with those who reject it 
and punish them . Swamy  Desikan places the anugraha , nigraha
sankalpam in the hands of his ParamAchAryan , Lord HayagrIvan
and places the palm leaves at HIs Thiruvadi .  

Swamy  Desikan's Saathvika ThyAgam and AchArya Bhakthi 
is abundantly evident in the final paasuram of salutation to
Lord HayagrIvan .
