Dear SrI VaradarAja BhakthAs :

 

Today , we will continue with the study of the sixth

Paasurams of the Desika Prabhandham entitled :

" Charama SlOka Churukku " .

 

321. The Meaning of the Sabdham : " Aham "

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

Kaan yenRa VedangaL kaakkum Paran yenRu kaatta ninROn

ThAnn yenRu aRiyahilArkku aRivikkum tanittiralOn

vaan onRinArodu mAnidan yenna avatarippAn

nAnn yenRa namm ThirumAl nall padham sErtthidumE

 

(Meaning): The VedAs are like a dense jungle(Kaan yenRa vEdangaL)

in view of our inabilities to find their meanings. Our Lord is eulogized by

these

VedAs as Sarva Rakshakan/ protector of all ( Kaakkum Paran YenRu

Kaatta ninROn ) . This is the upadEsam of the VedAs for all , who are

ignorant of this Sarva Rakshaka tatthvam of ParamAthmA . Our Lord

uniquely instructs the ignorant ones that He is that Jagath Rakshakan

this through His VedAs ( ThAnn yenRu aRiyahilArkku aRivikkum

Tanit-thiralOn ) . He incarnates as " humans " and acts as an AchAryan

in the human form during those avathArams as Raama and KrishNa

( Maanidan yenna avatharippAn) . Our Lord of this vaibhavam chooses

the word " Aham " to reveal His glories to us and joins us to His sacred

feet .Therefore , the sabdham of " Aham " in the Charama slOkam reveals

the matchless power of the Lord to banish all the sins of those , who

perform

Prapatthi to Him with MahA ViswAsam .

 

Thus , this sabdham of " Aham " points out that He as the Lord of all

incarcerated the jeevan with gigantic accumulated sins in

the prison of SamsAram and responds later with mercy to the same

Jeevan , once it performed SaraNAgathy to Him . That mercy arising

as response to the SaraNAgathy can not be stopped or revoked by

any one. There is also no one , who can bless the Prapanna Jeevan

with Moksham . That extraordinary and unmatched power is

indicated by the Sabdham of " Aham " . That Lord will take us

to His Supreme abode ( Naann yenRa ThirumAl nalpadham

sErtthidum ).
