Mumukshuppadi - 184

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's Mumukshuppadi

 

Sutra:

184. unakkE nAmALseyvOm ennumpadiyEyAga vENum.

 

Meaning:

The thought that the service is done for His pleasure

should happen.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

Nevertheless, the primary meaning of the nama: is the

removal of the thought that it is done for the soul's

benefit. Therefore, it is that prayer which should be

in the mind when reciting it. When the service is

performed, the thought that it is for the benefit of

both the soul and the Lord should be avoided. Instead

it should be performed for His pleasure alone ("unakkE

nAm AtseyvOm"). Nammazhvar too said "thanakkEyAga

enaik koLLumIdhE".
