thAnEA vaikuntham tharum

srEvachanabhUshaNam 14 "aRiyAdha arthangaLai adiayia aRivithu, AchArya 
kruthyathaiyum, purushakArathaiyum, upAya kruthyathaiyum thAnEa yEARittuk 
koLLUgaiyAlEa, mahAbhAradhathil upAya vaibhavavam solliRRu" 

Lord sri krshNA took upon Himself voluntarily the purushakAram of pirAtti and 
delivered the sacred bhagavth gEthA.

Thus it may be observed that, the Lord showers His blessings on us voluntarily 
the purushakAra and upAya vaibhavam. This again reiterates the fact that The 
Almighty is "swAthanthriyan" and has got every prerogative to accept, reject or 
voluntarily bless taking upon Himself even the 'purushakAra' role.

However, how does one ensures this in a fail-proof and foolproof manner, is the 
whole subject matter of srEvachana bhUshaNam and this aspect is summed up in 
the upadhEsa rethinamAlai pAsuram
"gnAnam anuttAnam ivai nanRAgavEa udaiyanAna, guruvai adaindhakkAl,manilathEr, 
thEAnAr kamalath thirumA-magaL kozhunan,
thAnEA vaikuntham tharum" 61;

The soul on surrendering at the feet of ones AchAryA -who is full of knowledge 
and practice- is blesssed by sriman nArAyaNA  voluntarily.

The term "thAnEA" is significant. The Lord as seen in the 14th sUthram of 
srEvachanabhUshaNam hereinabove, blesses the soul voluntarily by taking upon 
Himself the role of purushakAram and upAyam, once we surrender at our AchAryAs 
divine feet.

Does it not then highlight that, each and every term periya jEyar 
uses-prayOgam- is with a purpose?
