[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan :

 

(950) (PraNavm) NaarAyNaika nishtEthi VachanArTa

prakAsakAya nama:

 

(Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who revealed to us

the true meaning of the vachanam : " NaarAyaNaika nishta" ,

which is found in VihagEndhra Samhithai .

 

(Comments) : This vachanam talks about the glories of one ,

who is meditating always on Sriman NaarAyaNan. There are

those who distort the saasthram-accepted meaning of this

vachanam and exaggerate the glories of the Prapannan

(NaarAyaNaika nishtan).Swamy Desikan intrepreted

these vachanams correctly without minmizing the glories

of the NaarANaika Nishtan .

 

(951) (PraNavam ) Nishiddha thyAga dharmAkhya

mukhyArTathva vibhanjakAya nama:

 

(Meaning ): Salutations to that AchAryan , who rejected

the position that the central meaning of the word Dharmam

is giving up the acts recommended by SaasthrAs

( Nishiddha thyAgam) .

 

(Comments): During EkAdasi Vratham , eating is prohibited .

Instead the Kaamya vratam of EkAdasi seeking desired fruits

thru fasting is recommended . For Kaamya phalan , the EkAdasi

vratham is observed with special austerities ( niyama visEsham).

Food taking in EkAdasi (nishiddham) is avoided ( nivrutthi). The upAyam

practised for Kaamya phalan with niyama visEsham is the meaning of the

dharma sabdham in the injunction "Sarva dharmAn parithayjya ".

The simple act of rejecting those observances recommended by

SaasthrAs is not the central meaning of Dharma sabdham .

 

(952) (PraNavam) Srimath PrabhAva santrAthrE nama:

 

(Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who defended

very well the glories of Sriman NaarAyaNan ( the Lord along

with SrI Devi ) .

 

(Comments) :Swamy Desikan states that no one can underestimate

the glories of BhagavAn , the SiddhOpAyan . In this adhikAram

( PrabhAva vyavasthAdhikAram) , Swamy Desikan eulogizes

the athi-vichithra chEstithams of the Lord along the lines of

AthimAnusha Sthavam of Swamy KurEsar .

 

(953) (PraNavam) UpAya MahAthmya rakshakAyA nama:

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who defended

the greatness of Prapatthi.

 

(Comments): There are many unique glories associated with

Prapatthi ; it can even destroy PrArabdha KarmAs . Prapatthi

can also grant moksham at the desired time . Swamy defended

the greatness of Prapatthi as a superior and easy-to-perform

upAyam for gaining Moksha sukham compared to Bhakthi yOgam .

 

(954) (PraNavam ) Bhagavath KshEthra MahAthmya

dhrusE nama:

 

(Meaning ): Salutations to that AchAryan , who was fully

familiar with the glories of the dhivya dEsams dear to the Lord.

 

(955) (PraNavam) VaishNava Mahthva-vidhE Nama:

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who knew very

well the glories of VaishNavAs and instructed us not to

committ any apachArams to them .

 

We will commence our study of the naamAs relating to

Moola ManthrAdhikAram next ( 27th Chapter of Srimath

Rahasya Thraya Saaram ) . The naamAs from 956 to 959

cover the essence of Moola Manthra adhikAram .
