SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

Protection of His bhakthAs, destruction of the evil

doers and for the attainment of Dharma, - these are

the reason for which He takes avathArams which Sri

Krishna Himself mentions in GitA. Acharyas also take

avathArams for the above causes. One can see this

specially in EmperumAnAr Ramanuja. The first and third

are almost the same; but the second one is different

in their cases- explains Amudhanaar.

 

thEraar maRaiyin thiRamenRu maayavan theeyavaraik

kooraazi koNtu kuRaippathu koNtal anaiyavaNmai

Eraar kuNaththem iraamaa Nnuchanav vezilmaRaiyil

chEraa thavaraich chithaippathu,ap pOthoru

chinthaicheythE. 74

 

Emperumaan- SarvEshwaran- is the One who destroys

those cruel wrong doers, who can not understand and

talk ill of the apaurushEya (that which has no birth),

the ever permanent, Vedas and their philosophy /

tatvams, with His strongest chakrA. While Sri

Ramanujacharya, the most merciful One, conquers the

non vedic and wrong philosophers (of other religions)

in his own Most graceful manner. (So Sri

Ramanujacharya excels even Emperumaan!)

 

maayavan - Ascharya bhoothan Bhagawaan [most wondrous

Lord]

theeyavarai – those evil doers [dhushkarma doers]

maRaiyin thiRam thErAr - these people would not got in

the veda maargam; and hence they would not survive

enRu koo aazhi koNdu kuRaippadhu- considering [as

above] with the sharp strongest ChakrAyudham and

destroys them and reduces their commitment of apachara

and aparadhams. [thus their paapams are stopped].

koNdal anaiya vaNmai – like the dark rain laden clouds

– the most merciful

yEr Ar guNatthu em iraamanusan- whereas our Ramanuja

who has most auspicious attributes like jnAna shakthi,

sowseelya sowlabhya kalyANa guNas

a yezhil maRaiyil sErAdhavarai – those who have not

joined or gone away from that most beautiful and

rightful Veda maargam and performed non-vedic actions;

 

a pOdhu- suitable to their nature and capacity

oru chinthai seydhE – conduct a vidwath sadhas or give

a detailed explanation convincing enough

sidhaippadhu- destroy their wrong-doings and transform

them to put them on the right track in their current

sareeram itself.

 

Swamy Desikan sums up the six avathAra rahayams this

way:

 

avathArasya sathyathvam ajahath svasvabhAvathA

Suddha Satthvamayathvam cha SvEcchAmAthranidhAnathA

Dharma glAnou samudhaya: Saadhu samraksdhANArTathA

Ithi Janma rahasyam yO vEtthi naasya Punarbhaav:

 

(1) Our Lord's incarnations (avathArams) are real

(2) They happen without any diminution in His

svabhAvam (3)These avathArams are constituted by

Suddha Satthva Dhravyam

(4)These avathArams happen because of our Lord's own

volition (Sankalpam)

(5)These avathArams take place, when there is even the

slightest harm to dharmam in His world.

(6) The avathArams of the Lord are intended for

the protection of His BhakthAs and destruction of

evildoers. Those who reflect on these six inner

meanings of the reasons behind the Lord's avathArams

do not get rebirth (na Punarbhava:).

 

The aacharya’s avathArams also signify the same.

The Lord punishes those who do not follow the veda

maargams and also commit various apacharams and do

evils. He kills their lives so that their commitment

of such mahaa paapams is reduced and essentially

stopped in their current births.

 

Whereas Swami Ramanuja does not do that; On the

contrary he showers them with His merciful glances; he

argues with them and convinces them as to which is the

right veda maargams and what are the benefits accrued

by falling into that track. They get clearer picture

of Vedic way of life and the means and the goal; they

get to know their true nature of their AthmA and their

eternal servitude; thus, they repent their past

actions and are transformed by Ramanuja. They become

changed selves and they follow the vedic life style.

Thus in the very same life, their paapams get reduced

or even burnt completely [with the performance of

Saranagati].

 

sasthra paaNi EmperumAn [The Lord with the asthram]

does sareera naasam;

 

Saasthra paaNi emperumAnAr does sadh upadEsam

 

Even the KuDhrushTis get transformed and change

themselves; Thus when PerumAL does kill the enemies

their jnAnam does not change; they may be born again

and continue I their next birth due to their poorva

wrong jnAnam; while EmperumANar changes their very

jnAnam itself and with their true vedic jnAnam, they

would never ever go wrong hereafter.

 

Hence it is better to hold onto EmperumAnAr Ramanuja

more than the Lord Himself. - says Amudhanaar.
