Dear SrI VaradarAja BhakthAs :

 

Today , we will continue with the study of the Fifth & Sixth

Paasurams of the Desika Prabhandham entitled : " Charama SlOka

Churukku " .

 

319. The Meaning of the " SaraNa " Sabdham

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

Oonil iNaitthu uzhalvikkum vianik-kadaluL vizhuntha

yaann yenathAna guNangaL yenakku isai nall vazhiyum

thAnn udhavit-Tanai tanthida ninRa Tanit-tharumam

nAnn ini vERu ohr bharam nANuhA vahay nalhiyathE (5)

 

(Meaning): The sambhandham between the SarIram ( body)

and the AathmA is the result of ancient KarmAs. The Lord

blesses the suffering jeevans in SamsAram with Svaroopam ,

Jn~Anam and other auspicious guNams . He makes the Jeevans

perform UpAyams befitting his capabilities and makes the blessed

jeevan enjoy Him as a BhOgya vasthu . Our Lord removes all

burdens from the Jeevans that have surrenderd to Him and stands in

place of all other upAyams like Bhakthi yOgam .

 

320. The Meaing of " Vraja " Sabdham

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

kadu vinai nAmm peRum pERRait-tahanthamai kaNDu namm mEl

thodai vilahAmal isaynthu oru kaalm thuNivudanE

udaimai adaikkalammAha adaikkum uhappathanAl

adai yena anRu uraithAn adaivitthanan tannadiyE (6)

 

(Meaning): Until now , our karmAs stood in the way of

our gaining the PurushArttham of Moksham. We have

understood this now. We should not stray away from

the SaasthrAs from here on. We should always do the karmAs

that please the Lord . We should have mahA visvAsam in

the Lord granting us the Phalan after performing Prapatthi.

We should present the Lord , His property , our AathmA

with joy . Thus , the Lord who performed upadEsam to

Arjunan to seek unconditional surrender at His Thiruvadi

made us attain His feet as well .

 

Thus , the Meaning of " Vraja " is the act of SamarpaNam of

one's Aathma to the Lord .The various words representing

the different angams of Prapatthi are:

 

" Thodai vilahAmal " =PrAthikoolya varjanam

 

" isaynthu " = aanukoolya Sankalpam

 

" thuNivudanE " = MahA VisvAsam

 

The first line stands for the angam of KaarpaNyam .

 

" adaikkalamAha " = gOpthruva VaraNam

 

" adai " = the angi of " aathma SamarpaNam "

 

" adaivithinan " = Saathvika ThyAgam .

 

The detailed meanings of each of the angams of Prapatthi

has been covered earlier under the 241st Paasuram of

Desika Prabhandham ( Aadaikkala Patthu Prabhandham).
