Sri: | Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sutra 88:

The pasuram "thuvAlil mAmaNi mAdamOngu tholaivillimangalam thozhum ivaLai" shows

the SvarUpam of Azhvar. In this phrase, the word thozhum (worship) is synonymous

to namaS. Therefore, this namaS shows the SvarUpa. The pasuram

"vEngkadaththuRaivArrku nama" explains the upAya; therefore, the nama: used here

shows the upAya. In the phrase "mElaith thoNdu ugaLiththu anthi thozhum sollup

peRREn", the kainkaryam in prApti is shown through the word thozhum. Therefore,

the nama: also shows the phala.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

As said before the namaS not only removes the obstacles to the SvarUpa, upAya

and purushArttha, but it also expresses the same.

 

"thuvAlil mAmaNi mAdamOngu tholaivillimangalam thozhum ivaLai" shows the nature

of the jIva which is enslaved to Him such that it will go to those places which

He likes. Here the word thozhum is equivalent to the namaS and therefore the

namaS describes the nature (SvarUpa) of the jIva.

 

"vEngkadaththuRaivArrku namavennalAm kadamaiyathu sumanthArkatkE" shows the

removal of svarakshAna. The nama: here expresses the upAya which is Him.

 

In "anthi thozhum sollup peRREn", Azhvar shows that when kainkarya prApti

occurs, its higher form is decribed by the namaS. Therefore the thozhum sol

stands for the nama: and as such shows the phala.
