Respected Swami, I understand that lakshmaNa is primarily an example for SEshatvam and Bharata for pArartantryam. However, SEshatvam does not mean doing service. What u wrote for pAratantryam "Exists merely for the pleasure of the Lord" is apt for SEshatvam, as defined in "nivAsa SayyAsana..." SlOkam of yAmuna muni. If SEshatvam means doing service, perumAL cannot be aSEsha chidachit vastu SEshi bhUta... SEshI for all sentient and non-sentient things. lakshmaNa's pleading with the Lord can be understood from "nirAsakasyApi na tAvadutsahE mahESa! hAtum tava pAda pankajam..." perspective of yAmuna muni. In case of Bharata, he is duly compensated as he got His pAdukAs! dAsAnudAsan Vishnu --- In ramanuja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "srivaishnavan" <srivaishnavan@xxxx> wrote: > SrI: > SrImathE Ramanujaya namah: > > Dear Smt Jayshree > As usual, you have flabbergasted us with your rich write up. > excellent! > adiyEn's two cents worth: > what i had listened to from asmadhAchAryan: > > SEshathvam is LakshmaNan; > Paarathanthriyam- Bharathan... > > Lakshmanan was willing to serve the Lord at all times under all > circumstances; and it was as if it was His duty... and he deserves > that...
