Mumukshuppadi - 086

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's

Mumukshuppadi

 

Sutra:

86. ma: engai SvarUpanAsam; nama: engai SvarUpOjjeevanam.

 

Meaning:

Associating with ahankAram and mamakAram leads to destruction

of one's SvarUpam. Being without them leads to restoration of

SvarUpam.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

For the three virOdhis shown before, it is ahankAram (I) and

mamakAram (mine) that are the source. Therefore, the danger

of their presence and the goodness that comes about with

their removal are shown.

 

Within ma: both ahankAram and mamakAram are present. The

pride about one's self is ahankAra and the pride that one

has in their possessions is mamakAra. They both lead to the

destruction of one's SvarUpa. Not being attached to these

leads to the revival of the SvarUpa and therefore nama: is

equivalent to SvarUpa ujjIvana.
