[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan :

 

(950) (PraNavm) NaarAyNaika nishtEthi VachanArTa

prakAsakAya nama:

 

(Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who revealed to us

the true meaning of the vachanam : " NaarAyaNaika nishta " ,

which is found in VihagEndhra Samhithai .

 

(Comments) : This vachanam talks about the glories of one ,

who is meditating always on Sriman NaarAyaNan. There are

those who distort the saasthram-accepted meaning of this

vachanam and exaggerate the glories of the Prapannan

(NaarAyaNaika nishtan).Swamy Desikan intrepreted

these vachanams correctly without minmizing the glories

of the NaarANaika Nishtan .

 

(951) (PraNavam ) Nishiddha thyAga dharmAkhya

mukhyArTathva vibhanjakAya nama:

 

(Meaning ): Salutations to that AchAryan , who rejected

the position that the central meaning of the word Dharmam

is giving up the acts recommended by SaasthrAs

( Nishiddha thyAgam) .

 

(Comments): During EkAdasi Vratham , eating is prohibited .

Instead the Kaamya vratam of EkAdasi seeking desired fruits

thru fasting is recommended . For Kaamya phalan , the EkAdasi

vratham is observed with special austerities ( niyama visEsham).

Food taking in EkAdasi (nishiddham) is avoided ( nivrutthi). The upAyam

practised for Kaamya phalan with niyama visEsham is the meaning of the

dharma sabdham in the injunction " Sarva dharmAn parithayjya " .

The simple act of rejecting those observances recommended by

SaasthrAs is not the central meaning of Dharma sabdham .

 

(952) (PraNavam) Srimath PrabhAva santrAthrE nama:

 

(Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who defended

very well the glories of Sriman NaarAyaNan ( the Lord along

with SrI Devi ) .

 

(Comments) :Swamy Desikan states that no one can underestimate

the glories of BhagavAn , the SiddhOpAyan . In this adhikAram

( PrabhAva vyavasthAdhikAram) , Swamy Desikan eulogizes

the athi-vichithra chEstithams of the Lord along the lines of

AthimAnusha Sthavam of Swamy KurEsar .

 

(953) (PraNavam) UpAya MahAthmya rakshakAyA nama:

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who defended

the greatness of Prapatthi.

 

(Comments): There are many unique glories associated with

Prapatthi ; it can even destroy PrArabdha KarmAs . Prapatthi

can also grant moksham at the desired time . Swamy defended

the greatness of Prapatthi as a superior and easy-to-perform

upAyam for gaining Moksha sukham compared to Bhakthi yOgam .

 

(954) (PraNavam ) Bhagavath KshEthra MahAthmya

dhrusE nama:

 

(Meaning ): Salutations to that AchAryan , who was fully

familiar with the glories of the dhivya dEsams dear to the Lord.

 

(955) (PraNavam) VaishNava Mahthva-vidhE Nama:

 

(Meaning): Salutations to that AchAryan , who knew very

well the glories of VaishNavAs and instructed us not to

committ any apachArams to them .

 

We will commence our study of the naamAs relating to

Moola ManthrAdhikAram next ( 27th Chapter of Srimath

Rahasya Thraya Saaram ) . The naamAs from 956 to 959

cover the essence of Moola Manthra adhikAram .
