Sutra 76

Sri: | Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sutra 76:

The ukAram which is taken as avatAraNam that removes anya

sEshatvam is explained by the nama: part. The akAram which

shows Him who is the rakshaka is explained by the nArAyaNa

part. The makAram which shows the jIvAtma that has the

quality of sEshatvam, is explained by the fourth case (Aya).

It is also said that the nAra part explains the makAram.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

Previously it was told that the mantra sEsham explains the

praNavam. This is being shown here.

 

The ukAram whose meaning is avatAraNam was shown to remove

anya sEshatvam before. SvasEshatvam (enslaved to oneself) is

included inside the anya sEshatvam. Therefore, the nama:

which removes the SvasEshatvam explicitly, explains the

ukAram.

 

NArAyaNa explains in detail the nature of Him who is the

rakshaka, the nature of the chEtanas who are protected by

Him, the guNas which are required for the protection and

the method of giving the protection. Therefore it explains

the akAram.

 

Without doing some service the sEshatvam will not bear fruit

and the fourth case shows this service. This fourth case

explains the makAram which shows the Atma that holds the

sEshatvam.

 

The Atma which is the meaning of makAram has the qualities

of being eternal, one and many. These qualities are shown

by the nAra part and therefore it can also be said to

explain the makAram. Ra comes from the root riJN-kshayE

which means that which can be destroyed. Therefore nara

means that which is not destroyed; that is, it is eternal

(nityatvam). Through the meaning of community, this becomes

nAra and shows the quality of many. Similarly other qualities

can be shown.
