Sri Pillai Lokacharya's Mumukshuppadi - 019

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Original Sutra:

19. aisvarya kaivalya bagavallApankaLai AsaippattavarkaLukku

avaRRaik kodukkum.

 

Meaning:

The Thirumanthra will act as the upAya in providing to those

who utter it through japa and homa, that which they seek: be

it wealth in this and the next worlds, kaivalya which is ATma

bhOga, or His lotus feet which is the parama purushArththa.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

Previously it was stated that Thirumanthra will give to everyone

what they seek when they recite it. That is being explained here.

 

Wealth is of two kinds. One is the wealth of this world which is

living like a king. Attaining Swarga and being there with some

title and power is wealth of the other world. Kaivalyam is the

realization of the soul; that is attaining Atma jnAna and

enjoying that realization. The parama purushArttha is bhagavat

prApti; that is, attaing His lotus feet and the fruit of

kainkarya. The Thirumanthra will act as the sAdana and through

the acts of japa and homa will give all these fruits to those

who seek them ("aihalowkikamaishvaryam svargAtyam pAralowkikam,

kaivalyam bagavantanjca mantroyam sAdayishyati").
