The dwayam illustrates the adoption of the means, and the prayer for the goal.
Since this illustrates the two meanings, it consists of two lines. Since it has
two lines, it is called Dwayam. The first line has three words, and the second
line has three words ? thus a total of six words.
The first word (srIman nArAyaNa charaNau) illustrates the quality of periya
pirAtti (Lakshmi) of being a mediator, the four key qualities of the Lord and
the quality of the Lord and Laksmi being in union.
The sub-word Sri, by two of the possible etymologies ? srIyathE and srayathE ?
illustrates (i) the quality of Lakshmi not seeing the soul's faults and being
the refuge for *everyone* due to the relationship of Her being the mother of
all souls, and (ii) the quality of Lakshmi always taking refuge with the Lord
as a result of Her relationship of being the consort of the Lord and to save
all the souls. The conjunction math illustrates the eternal relationship
between the Lord and Lakshmi. nArAyaNa illustrates the four qualities of the
Lord ? vAtsalyam, svAmithvam, sowseelyam and soulabhyam; these guNAs are such
that even in the hypothetical case where pirAtti tries to reject the souls from
attaining Them by seeing the souls' sins, the Lord discards that rejection and
saves the souls by saying "My devotees will NOT do wrong things; even if they
did wrong things, they did it for the right reason" {other beautiful
experiences exist for this statement from thiruvAimozhi ? one is that the Lord
becomes miffed due to pirAtti saying that the Lord's devotees did something
wrong and questions Her ? "hey! who has not done these wrong things? My
devotees did these wrong things very well", and proceeds to save the souls: ) }
charaNau denotes the specialness of the physical form of the Lord, which is
even more efficient at doing the function (of saving the souls) even more than
the nature and the auspicious qualities of the Lord. saraNam ? as the means;
the means to a goal is one that removes the unwanted things and helps attain
the desired things. prapadyE ? I take; taking here means a complete mental
affirmation.
srImathE - to the One who is in union with pirAtti ? by this, it is said that
the receiver of all the services that the soul performs is the Lord and pirAtti
together (mithunam). nArAyaNAya ? to the One who is the master of everyone ?
since He is the master of everyone, this denotes the appropriateness of Him
being the recipient of all services. The fourth case ending "Aya" illustrates
the prayer to perform service without being affected by the constraints of
place, time and form. nama: - this word denotes the removal of the obstacle to
performing the services; the obstacles to performing service are thinking that
the soul is the enjoyer, and thinking that the soul is the owner and belongs to
itself.
Thus, dwayam illustrates the soul's adopting the appropriate means and after
the adoption, its prayer for performing eternal service ? "I take the feet of
srIman nArAyaNa, who is the consort of Sri and is easy for everyone to attain,
as the means to the attainment of the desired thing and for removing the
obstacles to that attainment; I wish to have the fortune of performing eternal
service to Lord srIman nArAyaNa, the master of everyone; may ahamkaara and
mamakaara, the obstacles to attaining the goal be removed"
