SrI:

Dear Swamy  Desika BhakthAs:

We will now enjoy  the Five Paasurams of
Amrutha SvAdhini Prabhandham  connected with
the  Charama slOka  adhikAram of Saara Saara chillaRai
Rahasyam and Our revered SchAreyA's role in instructing
us the three Rahasyams and their esoteric meanings.

(105) Lord KrishNA's UpadEsam of Charama SlOkam 
*******************************************
This Paasuram is the same as the 46th Paasuram of 
AdhikAra Sangraham ( the 85th Desika Prabhandham )
that we havestudied before. Please refer to the comments 
on this Paasuram from earlier postings on AdhikAra 
Sangraham.

This is a Paasuram saluting joyously the UpakAram of 
the Lord , who used Arjuna as an excuse to instruct us 
on the laghu upAyAm of Prapatthi at His sacred feet 
to assure Moksham . Swamy  Desikan slautes Prapatthi
in this Paasuram as "Tani Dharumam" or a matchless
UpAyam for Moksham for one and all. Here Swamy 
Desikan is overwhelmed by the Lord standing in place of
other Difficult upAyams (yemakku tAnE aay )and granting us 
the Phaalan  of Moksham as a result of our observance of
Prapatthi at His sacred feet.

(106) Prayer to rthe Lord to accept his Prapatthi
**************************************
Oh Lord standing with Sudarsanam in Your hand
to remind us of Your role as our Protector (Rakshakan )! 
You recognized adiyEn as not having  the visEsha Jn~Anam 
and power to practise Bhakthi Yogam as UpAyam 
to gain MOksham . You removed the doubts from my mind 
about gaining the fruits of Prapatthi and made me realize that 
adiyEn does not have anyone else to protect me and made
sure that adiyEn will not committ any aparAdham against 
You. You must now  accept adiyEn , who observed 
the Prapatthi Yogam as an object worthy of protection
under Your sacred feet that kept the entire universe 
under its cool shadow during ThirvikramAvathAram.  

Swamy  Desikan addresses the Lord with endearment :
"Kai amar Chakkarak-KaavalA !" .  He salutes the Lord as
theOne , who is immensely competent to protect the SarANAgatha
Janams with His Sudarsana Chakram against their enemies .
Next , Swamy  Desikan describes his aakinchanyam and
ananya gathithvam with two choice group of words :
" thuyya manatthAr tuRai aNUhAtha " and " tuNaiyiliyEn ".
He identifies himself first as not coming anywhere near 
the category of  those distinguished adhikAris  with pure minds , 
who are fully capable of undertaking Bhakthi yOgam as 
an UpAyam for gaining the phalan of Moksham (thuyya manatthAr 
tuRai aNuhAthavan). Next , Swamy  Desikan describes himself 
without delusion as " tuNaiiliyEn " ( One who has no other recourse 
except the Lord's grace). 

After focusing on his pitiable status and hence as a jeevan
worthy od the Lord's grace , Swamy  Desikan salutes 
the two magnificent upakArams that the Lord blessed 
him with : (1) " Iyaam aRutthAi " ( You removed all my
doubts about the efficency of Prapatthi in granting 
th Pahalan of Moksham ) (2)" Unathu aaNai kadatthal 
Nee ahaRRinai " ( You made sure that adiyEn will
not committ again any respasses against Your sAsthrams) .

What else is left for me now ? What else have You to 
do for me now after all these upakArams ? " Kaakkum
Thiru aruLAl Vyaam aLantha adikkeezh adaikkalam 
VaittharuL "  ( Through You omnipotence to protect 
the entire world , please place me under Your sacred feet that 
measured once the universe as an object deserving 
protection ).

107) Prayer for hastening the enjoyment of Moksha Sukham
**********************************************
Oh Lord shining without any blemish , who incarnated with Your Divine 
Consort  so that even the simple minde dGopis without any special Jn~Anam 
can enjoy Your  companionship soulabhyam during Your KrishNAvathAram !
Oh KaNNA ! You blessed me the auspicious thoughts to engage in 
SaraNAgathy at Your holy  feet. Please grant me the release from
PuNya-Paapa karmAs  so that adiyEn can perform uninterrupted 
kaimakryams at SrIvaikuntum to You and Your Devis like the Nithya
Sooris . Please bless me this bhAgyam as soon as possible !

Swamy Desikan addresses Lord KrishNA with great affection 
in this Paasuram as " ambhuyatthALudan annAl avatharittha 
kuRai yAthum illAtha GovindhA " ( Oh Lord of impeccable 
perfection s, who incarnated with the Lotus lady on this earth )! 
You incarnated as KrishNa and Your lotus lady (MahA Lakshmi)
accompanied You as RukmiNi PirAtti. What was one of the major
purposes of Your avathAram with Your PirAtti on this earth ?
You wanted even the simple folks like the gOpa Sthrees  (idaycchiyar)
know Your glories and enjoy You ( aRiyAtha idaycchiyarum 
aRiyum VaNNam avataritthAi) . You gave me the hint that 
adiyEn has become an object of protection under Your sacred
feet generating the SunAdham from Your jingling ankle aabharaNams 
( ninn kazhal keezh  adaikkalam aamm kuRippu tanthAy ). 

Oh " KuRai Yaattum illAtha GovindhA!"  You are enjoying 
the blemishless kaimkaryams from the nithya Sooris in SrI Vaikuntam 
with Your Devi sitting  on the fragrant lotus ( veRi aarum malar mahaLum 
neeyum ViNnavarhaL adi sooda viNNil irukkum mEnami uLLAY ).
There at YOur Supreme abode , the nithya sooris are adorning
Your sacred feet on their heads . Please shower Your grace on
us by destroying the limitless karmAs that accompany us and 
mark a date in the near future for us to join the ghOshti of 
the Muktha Jeevans and Nithya Sooris at SrI Vaikuntam 
and perform nithys niravadhya kaimkaryam to You there !     

108) The Meanings housed in the three Rahasyams
***************************************
Thirumanthiram with its eight aksharams (AshtAkshari)
will reveal Tatthvam Thrayams , UpAyam and PurushArTam
( Tatthuvamum Saathanamum Payanum kaattum Taaram 
mudhal iru nAnkum ) . Taaram here stnads for PraNavam.

Dhvayam with its Twenty five letters (aksharams) is a creation
of our Lord through  union of  two sections  found in  two different 
areas of the VedAs. It teaches us the way to perform Praaptthi 
at the sacred feet of SrIman NaarAyaNan ( Mutthi vazhi nAmm
muyalum vahayE kaaNa Mukundhan tann karutthAl isaithu 
aruL seytha IynnAlainthu ). Dhvayam is the outcome of 
the graceof the Lord out of His own sanklapam to unite
two sepaqrate sections of the Vedam to show us the way 
to perform Prapatthi.

Charama slOkam consisting of Thirty two aksharams emanated 
from the Lord , who showed His soulabhyam and simplicity
by serving as the Charioteer for Arjuna .It reveals the fact
that He stands in place of all UpAyams and accepts the burden
of protecting all chEthanams  , who are incapable of performing 
difficult-to-practise upAyams like Bhakthi yOgam (Patthi tanil
padivu illAr baram sumattha , UtthamanAr Uthama nall urai 
nAlettum ) . 

Our most merciful AchAryAs , who had clear awareness of 
the subtle meanings of these three rahasyams instructed us
with affection on those meanings for realeasing us from
the cycles of births and deaths ( uNarnthavar yemmai 
uhanthu uNarvitthAr ) .
