Thiruvaheendhrapuram RathnAngi Kaimkaryam: Part 171( Paaasuram:206-207) :Nigamana AdhikAram II

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan :

 

Today we will study the final Two paasurams of

the 24th Summary Chapter of Para Matha Bhangam :

Nigamana AdhikAram .

 

In the 23 chapters of Para Matha Bhangam , Swamy Desikan

elaborately critiqued the deficencies of Para Mathams and pointed

out that Para Mathams will never become Dharma Maarga SthAnams

and that the VedAntha Maargam of SaraNAgathy will alone help us

gain Moksha SthAnam without failure . Swamy Desikan proved

that Sruthi, Smruthi, IthihAsams and PurANams declare this

with a single voice ( nyAsamEshAm tapasAm athirikthamAhu: ).

 

Swamy Desikan has refuted on rigorous basis of logic and PramANams

the doctrines of SaarvAkan ( Only Prathyaksham as PramANam ) ,

Maadhyamikan ( Sonya Vaadham) , YogAchAra Bhouddhan ,

SouthrAnthikan , VaibhAshikan , Pracchana BhouddhAs ,

JainAs , Bhaskara matham ( Brahma PariNAmam is Prakrtuhi ),

Yadhava PrakAsa matham , VaisEshika Matham (ardha vainAsikar

compared to PoorNa VainAsikars, who are BhoudhAs), PrabhAkara

Vedaantham and SaankhyA Matham and established the blemishlessness

of Sva-matham firmly rooted in Tarkam and sound PramANams .

He established that there is no Phala PrApthi by following

other defective mathams in Para Matha Bhangam .

 

This SrI Sookthi of Swamy Desikan is all about SiddhAntha

Tatthva Thraya niroopaNam and Veda BhAhya, Kudhrushti Matha

Nirasanam .

(meaning): Lord is the dark-hued rain season cloud

(KaaLamEgham ) , who pours out the blemishless and

most merciful anugraham on the people of this world .

He incarnated as KrishNa BhagavAn for that purpose.

The crores of VedAs are powerless to see this Lord.

They chase after Him and run behind Him with their

eulogies. He escapes them and runs to DuryOdhanA's

court as their ambassador and finally through His gIthOpadEsam

to ArjunA banished the sorrows of the world by blessing

us with His redeeming Charama SlOkam .

 

We(Swamy Desikan ) had His darsana SoubhAgyam

and feasted on His dhivya soundharyam , when He incarnated

as KrishNa at the dhivya dEsam of Thiruvaheendhrapuram ,

where the Garuda Nathi flows northward (Uthara Vaahini).

There , He delights over tthe sight of the dancing waves

racing with each other to offer salutations at His Thiruvadi.

During that time , we composed the SrI Sookthi of Para Matha

Bhangam to refutate the imperfect and fallacious doctrines of

Para Mathams that have not been included in SrI BhAshyam

of Achaarya RaamAnujA and gained Para Matha Bhanga

Poorthy (Completeion of the Kaimkaryam of the refutation of

Para Mathams ).

 

 

(207) The Glories of the Sacred hands of SudarsanAzhwAn

**********************************************

In this glorious Prabhandha Paasuram saluting Sudarsana BhagavAn

( The Sankalpa Sakthi of SrIman NaarAyaNa ) , Swamy Desikan

thanks Lord Sudarshanan at the end of this Prabhandham as he did

at the commencement of Paramatha Bhangam .

This sixteen lined ( PathinARu Seer chantha Viruttham)

has such dynamic gait that matches the speed of the rotating

Sudarsanam on the hand of Lord RanganAtha (PrayOga

Chakram) engaged in Para Matha Bhangam .

 

At the begining of this Prabhandham , Swamy Desikan

saluted Sudarsana BhagavAn as Ashta Bhuja Moorthy

adorning Eight weapons. Here , Swamy Desikan salutes

Lord Sudarsana as ShOdasAyudha Moorthy to destroy

utterly the Para Matha Vaadhams and to accomplish

Sva-Matha NirUpaNam .

 

The kramam ( order) of the salutations to the weapons

are in the same order as in ShOdasAyudha SthOthram

in Sanskrit. Here , Swamy Desikan salutes the 8 weapons

in one side ( Chakram , Axe , Spear , Stick , Goad ,

hundred edged weapon spitting agni , Sword and Sakthi aayudham.

 

On the other side , Sudarshanar holds eight more weapons

( the Conch , Bow , Noose , Plough , VajrAyudham , Pestle,

Gathai and Trident ).

 

Swamy Desikan visualizes Sudarsanar with rows and rows of

garlands and rathna hArams and giving abhaya pradhAanam to

devotees like AadhisEshan and DevAs ,while destroying

the asurAs . Swamy Desikan enjoys the Sarva TejOmaya

Sudarshanar saluted by the VedAs shining as the radiance

of the Lord of SrIrangam Himself . In the seven of the sixteen

lines (Paadhams) of this Paasuram , Swamy Desikan sums up

the seven kinds of anugraha kAryams of Sudarshana BhagavAn.

 

Swamy Desikan started this Prabhandham and concluded it at

Thiruvheendhrapuram .Yet , He refers to Lord RanganAtha

( Thihazh AravaNai Arangar tEsu). It is Swamy Desikan's prayer

that in future that the Lord of SrIrangam should protect His BhagavathAs

with Dhaiva Sampath and destroy Bhagavath Kaimkarya VirOdhis

(asurAs) just like he refuted the Para Mathams through the creation of

the SrI Sookthi of Paramatha Bhangam with the blessings of Lord

DevanAthan of Thiruvaheendhrapuram .
