Sri Pillai Lokacharya's Mumukshuppadi - 086

[Guest guest]

Sri: | Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sutra:

Associating with ahankAram and mamakAram leads to destruction of one's SvarUpam.

Being without them leads to restoration of SvarUpam.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

For the three virOdhis shown before, it is ahankAram (I) and mamakAram (mine

that are the source. Therefore, the danger of their presence and the goodness

that comes about with their removal are shown.

 

Within ma: both ahankAram and mamakAram are present. The pride about one's self

is ahankAra and the pride that one has in their possessions is mamakAra. They

both lead to the destruction of one's SvarUpa. Not being attached to these leads

to the revival of the SvarUpa and therefore nama: is equivalent to SvarUpa

ujjIvana.
