Sri Pillai Lokacharya's

Mumukshuppadi

 

Sutra:

81. piRarkkuriyanAnavanRu than vailakshaNyaththaik kAtti

meetkalAm; thanakkennumanRu yOgyathaiyum kooda azhiyum.

 

Meaning:

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 the 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.
