Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's

Mumukshuppadi

 

Sutra:

73. iththAl *thAmaraiyAL kELvan oruvanaiyE nOkkum

uNarvenRathAyiRRu.

 

Meaning:

With this praNavam, as per Sri Poygai Azhvar's Srisookti, the

relationship between the jIvAtma and the paramAtma is told.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

Previously it was told that when He is protecting the jIvas

it is required that Lakshmi be present and therefore the Sri

sambandham is included in the akAram (sutra 40). Therefore, in

the relationship between the jIvAtma and the paramAtma, the

sEshi is now shown as the Divya Dhampati (Divine Couple).

 

The praNavam can also be chanted through Poygai Azhvar's

divine words "oNdAmaraiyAL kELvan oruvanaiyE nOkkum uNarvu".

Through thAmaraiyAL kELvan, Sriman Narayana who is the

meaning of akAram and who is the sEshi is told. Through

oruvanaiyE nOkkum, the Atma's sEshatvam to the one Lord and

no one else, which is shown by the fourth case and the

ukAram, is told. Through uNarvu, the Atma which is shown by

the makAram, whose nature is knowledge and whose quality is

that sEshatvam, is told.

 

Therefore if one wishes to chant the praNavam while bringing

out the Lakshmi sambandham, then they can chant this pasuram

of Poygai Azhvar.
