Sri Alavandhaar's SthOthra Rathnam verse- 51-make me the object of Your dayaa. Do not spurn me

[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Gopaladesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

What! Did I establish Prapatti saasthrA only for the

sake of you, Alavandhaar? I have blessed many

prapannas before you. Also I will in future. It is

wrong to say that it is rare and not possible to

receive the receipient of my dayaa. – The response

from Alavandhaar: If You leave few or at elast me –

after having performed saranagathi (Parapatti) at Your

feet, thus leaving and ignoring someone in spite of

having performed the upaaya [and you can do that as

You are Lord and You are niraanikusa swathanthran-

independent and none will ask You), then You need to

send others who have also attained mOksham by

performing Prapatti- back to this world. You need to

be sathyakaaman.. Hence there will be none to receive

Your daya if I am dropped- is a fact.

 

Here Alavandhaar declares that there is none but for

Him- to grant mOksha..

 

tadaham tvadrtE na naathavaan

madrthE tvam dayaneeyavaan nacha

vidhi nirmitham Etham anvayam

bhagavad paalaya maasma jeehapa: [51]

 

Hence- I will be deprived of devoid of the Lord

without You; and You too- without me- would have lost

the deserving recipient of the Grace of Yours and

compassion. So, oh Bhagawaan! Supreme Lord with

faultless blemishless auspicious attributes! please

protect, save and preserve this wonderful relation of

You- being the Lord for me- and me- who is such a

pitiable helpless state to receive Your dayaa- and

this state itself is due to destiny and Your sankalpam

(will) and hence do not ignore me..[maasma jeeapa:]

 

Any fruit- without Your granting- none can get or

receive. You alone grant even if obtained thorugh

other devathas… as declared by You in GitA. While You

alone are mOksha pradhan- Granter of Moksha. None else

can grant. You preserve that right for You alone and

have not delegated to anyone. I also can not seek the

same from anyone else. You alone are my Swami. You

alone are for me. Also I am the deserving one to

receive Your grace and there is none else. Even if You

do not bless others, they would involve themselves in

other means and then perhaps reach You later. I am not

like that. I am lowliest of the lowliest. I do not

have any capacity at all to rise above waters and

perform any other means. Thus I am the fittest person

to be the recipient of Your dayaa. It is ever wonder

of all wonders that I am even having the mind to seek

Your grace with such pitiable state and with such

lowliest nature. That itself is Your will (sankapam)

and hence destiny that I and You are in stage now.

Somehow I have been blessed. You would mnot have done

it without any reason. There should be a plan by You

and hence save me and make me the object of Your

dayaa. Do not spurn me.

 

Even if You save others, and ignore me and discard me-

then also You being addressed as parama dhayaaLu would

go away as here is one who is also the recipient of

grace and who has been ignored and spurned. Do not get

that name and hence save me. In this verse,

 

Swaamithvam, Vaathsalyam are well reflected and

depicted by the Acharya.
