Mumukshuppadi - 065

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's

Mumukshuppadi

 

Sutra:

65. iththaal thanakkum piRarkkum uriththanRenkiRathu.

 

Meaning:

The ukAram that shows anya sEshatva nivrutti says that the

soul neither belongs to another (other than Him) nor does

it belong to itself.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

The phrase "anya sEshatvam kazhikai" is further explained

here. It is not just that the soul should not be enslaved

to another samsari who is like itself. It also means that

the soul should not be enslaved to itself. The term anya

includes the self as well, as the self belongs to the

same category as the anya's. anya seshatva nivrutti

includes the removal of enslavement to the self also;

there is no need to show a separate effort for the same.

SvasEshatva nivrutti is included therefore through the

mening of anya sEshatva nivrutti in the ukAram.

 

Thus far, the meanings of ukAram have been explained.
