Sri Pillai Lokacharya's Mumukshuppadi - 081

Sri: | Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sutra 81:

If a person becomes enslaved to another then it is possible to shown him the

difference between others and the Lord and correct him. If he is enslaved only

to himself (living as I and mine), it is difficult to bring him to the right

path (therefore, it can be taken that removal of anya sEshatvam is connected to

the removal of svasEshatvam, which is shown by the nama:).

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

Previously it was told that the nama: explains the ukAram. Also, that the ukAram

removes being enslaved to others (other than Him) which includes the removal of

being enslaved to oneself. If the nama: explains the ukAram, then

can it stop at stating that one does not belong to one's self? Should it also

not show that one does not belong to others?

 

Between anya sEshatvam and svasEshatvam, it is svasEshatvam that is more

dangerous. If a person is enslaved to another, it means that that person is

agreeable to that idea; then it is easy for Him to show this person His divine

qualities and the difference between Him and others and enslave him. When a

person becomes enslaved to himself, it is difficult to correct him and make him

enslaved to the Lord.

 

Therefore, as svasEshatva nivrutti is more important than anya sEshatva

nivrutti, it is that which is shown in the nama: part.
