Dearest all,

 

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwAr’s Periya

Thirumozhi.

I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the

whole world, to destroy the darkness of ignorance

(a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the Kali

dhOsham.

1.9.2

 

Oh my dear Elephant like Beautiful Lord of cool

ThiruvEmkatam! The One who stays at ThiruvEmkata

mountain, full of honey dripping, bee humming flowers

and gardens! I have committed enormous sins and have

earned full credits to enter into hell (royally), got

myself trapped in the trap of women's beautiful

deer-like eyes for very many years.

 

Thinking of all those sins, now I regret and have

surrendered to Your Feet at TriumalA. Please save me

and take me over to You as Your eternal servant.

 

Now AzhwAr worries about the other Praapthi Virodhis (

the enemies that interfere with the attainment of

Prapatti that he wishes to perform) and prays for the

Lord's anugraham to banish them and bless him with the

supreme boon of Moksham. Chasing away praapthi

virodham items is one of the essentials of Artha

panchakam.

 

The understanding of the Virodhi Svarupam and the

clear knowledge about those enemies helps one to

defeat them with the grace of the Divya Dampathis.

Knowledge about the Isvara Svarupam, Jeeva Svarupam,

Upaayam, phalan and the knowledge about the virodhis

for attaining that palan constitute together the artha

Panchakam. Swami Desikan has devoted the entire fourth

chapter of Sri Rahasya traya Saaram to

the doctrines of Artha Panchakam.

 

Swami Desikan quotes the following verse from Haaritha

Samhitha to describe the features of Artha Panchakam

that are relevant to the understanding of the

mokshArthis:

 

prApyasya brahmaNO rupam prApthuscha pratyagAthmana: I

prApthyupAyam palam chaiva tathA PRAAPTHI VIRODHI CHA

vadanthi sakalA vedA: sethihAsa -puranAkA :II

 

All the VedAs, IthihAsAs and PurANAs describe the

nature (Svarupam) of Brahman that is to be attained,

the nature of the Jeevan who seeks that Brahman, the

means for that quest, the fruits of such a quest and

the obstacles on the way to such an attainment. [this

anubhavam is from Sri Sadagopan Swami]
