AchArya Hrdhayam SUthram 226-8

THE EIGHTH TEN

prApAika parar

"swa sAdhana, sAthyasthar, iru karaiyAgamal maNNavarum, vAnavarum, 
nannumathaiyEa kuRikkoNmin vuLLathenRu prApaigaparar AkkugiRAr ettAm pathil"

Generally the means and the end are two different ones. It was also considered 
that dhivya-dhEsam and the Lord may be so considered. However, what does AzhwAr 
say in this regard in the eighth ten?

Those who follow him and his methods need not have two different ones, as seen 
above. What is AzhwAr 's method?.
he deems that,once we approach the divine feet of the Lord at 
thiru-k-kadith-thAnam- all our miseries vanish. The souls of both the worlds - 
vAnavargaL and maNNavargaL-- are seeking Him as refuge. His divine feet is 
easily accessible. Hence, think this diivine feet and merge both means and the 
end as one, is the advice to us by AzhwAr in this ettAm pathu. Whatever was 
suggested in the seventh ten il.e. dhivya-dhEsam was prescribed as the end 
earlier. The same is being considered as the means also, thus combining both 
into one and making srEvasihNavites as
prApAika parar

pAsuram-s

Once we apporach the Lord at thiru-k-kadithAnam all our miseries vanish.

"thiru-k-kadith-thAnathai, yEtha , nillA kuRikkoNmin idarEa" 8-6-6;

Both the entities in that world and the souls of this world approach Him.

"maN viN muzhudhum aLandha voN thAmarai, 
maNNavar thAm thozha, vAnavar thAm vandhu,
nannu thirukkadith thAna nagarEa" 8-6-7;

Hence, seek Him as refuge. He is easily accessible. You need not have two 
different matters for means and end. Insrtead combine this at the feet of Lord 
of thiru-k-kadith-thAnam and become
prApAika parar

is the ultimate advice by AzhwAr in this ettAm pathu- eighth ten.

Eighth ten concluded.
