Prapatti for other goals

[Guest guest]

---------------------------begin Dileepan's quote

Is there any evidence for this (i.e. prapatti for

other fruits is not prapatti at all) in the sampradaya

or verses such as sthOthrarathana?

-----------------------------end quote

 

 

from Mumuksupatti's discussion on Dvayam:

 

-----------------------------begin Mumme's translation

 

Sutram 160 --

 

Pillai Lokacharya: The last portion of Dvayam states the Goal.

 

Manavalamamunigal: The Goal is to serve at the feet of the Lord of

all, the owner of all, and the husband of Sri.

 

Sutram 161 --

 

Pillai Lokacharya: It says it is not for any other Goal.

 

Manalavamamunigal: Since the sadhana explained in the foregoing (i.e.

, the recognition of Lord as the Upaya in the first statement of

Dvayam) can be common to any of the four goals (Dharma, Artha, Kama,

and Moksha), this states that the choosing of the means is not for

any other aim.

 

Sutram 162 --

 

Pillai Lokacharya: One relinquishes other Upayas and resorts only to

the Caramopaya. In the same way, one relinquishes kaivalya, wealth,

and all the other Upeyas and requests the Ultimate Goal, the Lord.

Thanks for quoting from Mumme's translation. It does state

that prapatti must be done for the highest of purushaarthaas.

However what is quoted does not say that prapatti done for

lesser goals is not prapatti at all, which is what was said.

 

Thanks,
