Mumukshuppadi - 088

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's

Mumukshuppadi

 

Sutra:

88. * tholaivillimangalam thozhum engaiyAlE SvarUpam

solliRRu; * vEngkadaththuRaivArkku nama engaiyAlE upAyam

solliRRu; * anthithozhum sol engaiyAlE palam solliRRu.

 

Meaning:

The pasuram "thuvAlil mAmaNi mAdamOngu tholaivillimangalam

thozhum ivaLai" shows the SvarUpam of Azhvar. In this

phrase, the word thozhum (worship) is synonymous to namaS.

Therefore, this namaS shows the SvarUpa. The pasuram

"vEngkadaththuRaivArrku nama" explains the upAya; therefore,

the nama: used here shows the upAya. In the phrase "mElaith

thoNdu ugaLiththu anthi thozhum sollup peRREn", the

kainkaryam in prApti is shown through the word thozhum.

Therefore, the nama: also shows the phala.

 

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:

As said before the namaS not only removes the obstacles to

the SvarUpa, upAya and purushArttha, but it also expresses

the same.

 

"thuvAlil mAmaNi mAdamOngu tholaivillimangalam thozhum

ivaLai" shows the nature of the jIva which is enslaved to

Him such that it will go to those places which He likes.

Here the word thozhum is equivalent to the namaS and

therefore the namaS describes the nature (SvarUpa) of the

jIva.

 

"vEngkadaththuRaivArrku namavennalAm kadamaiyathu

sumanthArkatkE" shows the removal of svarakshAna. The nama:

here expresses the upAya which is Him.

 

In "anthi thozhum sollup peRREn", Azhvar shows that when

kainkarya prApti occurs, its higher form is decribed by the

namaS. Therefore the thozhum sol stands for the nama: and

as such shows the phala.
