[Guest guest]

SrI :

(197 ) (PraNavam) Tatthva-mukthA-kalApa srujE nama:

 

(Meaning ) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who blessed us with

the SrI Sookthi of Tatthva Muktha KalApam (TMK) .

 

(Commnets) : TMK is a garland of the pearls of the doctrines of

VisishtAdhvaitham . It has 500 slOkams . Swamy Desikan states

that we should wear this SrI Sookthi as a pearl necklace around

our necks and enjoy it .

 

(198) (PraNavam ) Krutha SarvArTa SiddhikAya nama:

 

(Meaning) : Salutations to the AchAryan , who blessed us with

the SrI Sookthi of "SarvArtha Siddhi " .

 

(Commentary ) : "SarvArtha Siddhi " is the commentary for Tatthva Muktha KlaApam.

Thanks to the MahOpakAram of Swamy Desikan , we can gain theknowledge about

our Matham and Para Mathams . It is an exalted SrI Sookthi that can provide us

with visEsha Jn~Anam about our darsanam .

 

(199) ( PraNavam) KruthAdhikaraNa SaarAvalyAkhya grantha sikhAmaNayE nama:

 

(Meaning) : Salutations to the Utthama AchAryan , who blessed us with

the srEshta grantham named AdhikaraNa SaarAvaLi .

 

(Commentary ) : SrI BhAshyam has 156 adhikaraNams . Sw amy Desikan condensed

their meanings in 562 slOkmas in Sragdhara Metre to help us remove our doubts

arising from the study of SrI BhAshyam .

 

(200) ( PraNavam) SaarAvalee VyAkriyA adhikaraNadarsakArakAya nama:

 

(Meaning & Commnets ) : Salutations to the AchAryan , who created the SrI Sookthi of

AdhikaraNa DarpaNam , as a commentary to AdhikaraNa SaarAvvaLi . It is designed

to serve as a mirror to reveal the meanings of AdhikaraNa SaarAvaLi . Unfortuntely ,

this SrI Sookthi is no longer available to us.

 

(201) (PraNavam) SrImannyAya Parisuddhi visuddhIkrutha mAnasAya nama:

 

(Meaning) : Salutations to the AchAryan , who purified our minds through

His SrI Sookthi of NyAya Parisuddhi that deals with PramANams ( Means of

Knowledge ) .

 

(Commentary ) : NyAya Saasthram was created by Gouthama Maha Rishi .

There were many doctrines there that are in contradiction to the VedAs .

Swamy Desikan changed all that through the creation of NyAya Parisuddhi.

Study of this SrI Sookthi would purify our minds and brings about the alignment

of Gouthama Rishi's NyAya Saasthram with the VedAs . The prefix of "SrImath "

before NyAya Parisuddhi has been added because of its ability to explain the true

meanings of the VedAs .

 

(202) (PraNavam) NyAya SiddhAnjanOdhanjanmEya YaaTmyA BhOdhakAya nama:

 

(Meaning) : Salutations to the Mahaa AchAryan , who blessed us with the SrI Sooktham of

NyAya SiddhAnjanam dealing with pramEya Tatthvams .

 

( Commentary ) : Anjanam is the coleriyum that is applied over one's eyelids

to reveal things under ground that are not visible with one's own eyes . This

SrI Sookthy is focused on PramEyam( object of Knowledge) . When one has

jaundice , every thing will look yellow. When jaundice medicine is taken ,

things will look like the way they are . Jaundice medicine is like a SiddhAnjanam

to place things in their true svaroopam . Through his Sri Sookthi of NyAya

SiddhAnjanam , Swamy Desikan helped aasthikAs understand the true state of

PramEyams .

 

(203) (PraNavam) Aakshapaadheeya SoothrArTa sikshAkaraNa dheekshithAya nama:

 

(Meaning) Salutations to the AchAryan , who vowed to correct the meanings given to

the Soothrams of AkshapAdhar .

 

( Commentary ) : Gouthama"s other name was AkshapAdhar , who created NyAya Darsanam

containing the NyAya Soothrams . NyAya Saasthrams are the VidhyA SthAnam for the VedAs

and in concordance with them . Gouthamar , the author of NyAya Soothrams should have

made his Soothrams in support of the VedAs and not in discord with the VedAs . Even if he

had done so , the commentators of NyAya Soothrams did not bring out the true meanings of

the Soothrams in line with the VedAs . Therefore , there was a need for purification of

the incorrect meanings given by the commentators .Therefore , Swamy Desikan created

NyAya Parisuddhi .

 

(204) ( PraNavam ) AkshapAdha SamathkAradhAyi SoothrasamUha kruthE nama:

 

(Meaning) : Salutations to the AchAryan , who created the content of NyAya Parisuddhi

that would have pleased AkshapAdhar and made him wonder .

 

(Commentary ) : There are two parts (Pakshams) in NyAya Parisuddhi . One is

the Gouthama Soothra BahishkAra Paksham ( The part that odes not accept

the Gothama Soothrams and criticizes them for their unsoundness ) . The other

part is the Gouthama Soothra SveekAra Paksham , which rewrote the Gauthama

Soothrams in concordance with the VedAs .These Soothrams created by Swamy

Desikan are short and terse . They are tightly aligned with the Vedams. These Soothrams

of Swamy Desikan will cause wonder to AkashapAdhar ( Gouthama Rishi) himself.

 

(205) ( PraNavam) VyAsAkshapAdha SoothrArTa virOdhaparihAra VidhE nama:

 

(Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who offered the fixes ( ParihArams)

for the parts of NyAya Soothrams that are in discord with Brahma Soothrams

created by Sage VyAsa Rishi . Through his SrI Sookthi , Swamy Desikan

showed that there is no discord between the Brahma Soothrams and NyAya

Soothrams . Wherever a discord sems to exist , Swamy offers parihArams

( Correctives ) . Swamy came up with the true meanings for these Soothrams

in his Gouthama Soothra SveekAra Paksham and proved that there is no

conflict between the Brahma Soothrams and NyAya Soothrams .
