Additional Comments on the PurushOtthama Tatthvam

*************************************************

Swamy ParAsara Bhattar derives the word " avyaya "

from the verb " na veeyatE " , which means that

the liberated soul arriving at SrI Vaikuntam is

not turned away ever from there . This nAmA is

based on the pramANams from ChAndhOgya Upanishad

passages ( 4.15.6 and 8.15.1) , Brahma Soothram,

Yama smruthi and Bhagavad GitA:

 

1. " yEthEna prathipadhyamAnA imam mAnavam aavatham

na aavarthanthE "--ChAndhOgyam: 4.15.6

 

( " They who go by this path (i-e. archirAdhi mArgam )

attain Bhagavan and ) do not come back to this mortal

world ").

 

2. "na cha punarAvarthathE na cha punarAvarthathE "

---ChAndhOgyam : 8.15.1

 

( " He does not return ; He does not return ").

 

3. " anAvrutthi sabdhAth anAvrutthi sabdhAth "

----Brahma Soothram : 4.4.22

 

( " There is no return according to the scriptures;

There is no return according to scriptures ").

 

4. Yama Smruthi also says in this context: " The MukthA

bears a body of pure and subtle satthvA and attains

the Supreme Lord , who is the ParamAthmA at the Superior

and glorious Vaikuntam . Then he ( Muktha Jeevan ) becomes

fit for immortality and does not come back (to this world)

any more. " (--amruthathvAya kalpathE na nivarthatE vai puna:).

 

5. mAmupEthya punarjanma dukkhAlayam asAsvatham

nApnuvanthi mahAthmaana: samsiddhim paramAm gathA:

 

Aabrahma-bhuvanAllOkA: punarAvarthinOarjuna

MaamupEthya thu KounthEya punarjanma na vidhyathE

 

---Bhagavad GitA: 8.15 & 16

 

" Having attained Me , the great souls are never again

subject to birth , which is transient and the abode of

sorrow. They have found the highest perfection.

 

All the worlds , down from the realm of Brahma,

are subject to return(destruction and rebirth) ,

Oh ArjunA . But on reaching Me ,there is no rebirth ".

 

Parama Purusha sankalpam frees the muktha jeevan from

the cycles of births and deaths and leads to

the salutation " AvyayAya nama:".
