SrI:
 
Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs :
 
Let us start the study of 11 more Sahasra NaamAs of Swamy Desikan today
to complete the NaamAs relating to the rest of the ChillaRai Rahasyams .
 
759) ParAnkusAdhi nirvyAja-rakshaNOkthi virOdhagnE nama:
 
Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who removed the controversey
about Swamy NammAzhwAr's pasuram passages stating that
Bhagavan grants protection without any reason ( nirvyAjam)
to every one out of His abundant compassion .
 
EmperumAn is Svatantran . He can do what he wishes according to
His sankalpam . Similarly , He is filled with inherent mercy ( KaaruNyam) .
Inspite of these , He does not protect one and all without any cause .
He grants Moksham through the small act of Prapatthi , which is accomplished
in a trice . This is the Lord's disposition and all the Saasthrams agree on this .
If He grants Moksham without prapatthi in an independent manner to some ,
then He is exposed to the accusation that  he has PakshapAdha dhOsham
( Partiality and arbitrariness) . If He does not grant moksham to others ,
he will be considered to be devoid of Mercy . All the Saashtrams dealing with
Prapatthi will then become meaningless.
 
In this context  comes a question arising from  Swamy NammAzhwAr's
statement : "veRithE aruL seyvAr" . The literal meaning is that the Lord
grants Moksham even if one does not do anything to deserve it . This leads to
the conclusion  that there is no need for Prapatthi anushtAnam . This
will be inconsistent with SaasthrArTams . There is another Paasuram
passage of Swamy NammAzhwAr that says: " Ohr yeNNthAnum anRiyE
vanthu iyalamARu " ( I did not think about phalan even a bit and yet BhagavAn
granted the Phalans ). It also implies that the express act of  Prapatthi is not needed .
 
Swamy resolves all these apparent contradictions and establishes that
the extended Paasuram passage of Swamy NammAzhwAr is : " veRithE
aruL seybhavar SEYVAARKATKKU " . BhagavAn has the rakshaNa
sankalpam to bless a select few  ; for those , who does "veRithE aruL
seyvAr" . He becomes SiddhOpayan to those , who have performed (SEYTHAVAR)
Prapathti or Bhakthi yOgam and to them , He grants Moksham without
any other upAyam and becomes the SiddhOpAyan . Therefore , one
should not intrepret the AzhwAr Paasuram passage as saying that
no prapatthi is needed.Prapatthi is not the reason for Moksham
but is only a vyAjam . Now , there is no virOdham with Saasthrams
that establish Prapatthi as one of the two UpAyams for Moksham .
 
760) Rahasya Tatthvathrithaya  chulakAsvAdhithAsrithAya nama:
 
Salutations to the AchAryan , who blessed his sishyAs with rasAnubhavam
through the creation of the two ChillaRai Rahasyams of Tatthva Thraya
ChuLakam amd Rahasya Thraya ChuLakam .
 
ChuLakam means the area of the folded inner palm . When the DevAs
recieved the chuLakam of amrutham from the Lord , they became deathless.
Similarly , Swamy Desikan churned the ocean of Tatthvams and
the three rahasyams to produce the nectar  , the Chulakam measurement
of which , when consumed granted amarathvam ( Moksham )
to chEtanams . ChEtanams enjoyed these chuLakams with great
rasanai ( Connoseurship) .
 
761) abhaya-pradhAna saara spashta RaamAyaNAntharAya nama:
 
Salutations to that AchAryan , who made the inner meanings of
Srimath RaamAyaNam crystal clear .
 
The rahaya grantham of Abhaya PradhAna Saaram establishes
that it is the SaraNAgathy Vedam discovered by Sage VaalmIki .
It has ten chapters on SaraNAgathy starting with VibhIshaNa
SaraNAgathy . Swamy  Desikan provided extensive commentariy
on Srimath RaamAyaNa slOkams to elaborate on SaraNAgathy
Tatthvam .
 
762) Srisa apachAra rasika VaishNav AnaadharOkthimathE nama:
 
Salutations to the AchAryan , who instructed us to stay away from
those VaishNavaas , who committ apachAram to BhagavAn . Even if
that VaishNavan is a Bhagavath bhakthan , when he committs apachAram
to the Lord and His adiyArs (BhAgavathAs) , ParamaikAnthis will
stay away from that kind of offender .
 
763) Srisa apachAra bhakthAnaadhara  kshAmaNa kaalavidhE nama:
 
Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who knew about the time to seek
the pardon of the one who had committed apachArams to the Lord and
later corrected himself from such trepasses .
 
Swamy Desikan instructed us that ViashNavAs committing apachArams
to the Lord should be abandoned during the aparAdha dasai ( Duration of
committing such offenses). Once they regret and do PrAyascchittham , then
the ParamikAnthi will seek their pardon for ignoring them .   
 
764) nyAsApEkshitha sarvArTa vyanjakaadhima kAvya vidhE nama:
 
Salutations to the AchAryan , who established that the Utthama
Kaavyam of SrImath RaamAyaNam reveals all the meanings needed
for comprehending and performing Prapatthi .
 
Swamy Desikan used examples like VibhIshaNa SaraNAgathy ,
ThrijaDai SaraNAgathy of RaamAyaNam et al to reveal that Sriman
NaarAyaNan is the Supreme Being , SaraNAgatha rakshaNam is
a dharmam , the limbs (angams) of SaraNAgathy , ananyOpAyathvam
( not seeking anyone except the Lord as the Rakshakan) . These are
all the meanings of SaraNAgathy found in Srimath RaamAyaNam . 
 
765) SrimathkrupA  PariNatha sOpAna padhavee priyAya nama:
 
Salutations to the AchAryan , who revealed to us the nine steps
leading to Moksham through his chillaRai rahasyam of Parama
Padha sOpAnam .
 
These nine steps are : (1) VivEkam (clear Jn~Anam)
(2) NirvEdham ( Sorrow over one's state in SamsAram)
(3) Virakthi ( Detatchment from all phalans except Moksham)
(4) Bheethi ( fear over the Phalans arising from one's karmas)
(5)PrasAdhanam ( Gaining the Lord's grace and seeking Him as  AasrayaNam )
(6) UthkramaNam ( The exit of the Muktha Jeevan from the body)
(7) ArchirAdhi Maargam ( Travel by the path of light to Vaikuntam)
(8) Dhivya dEsa PrApthi ( crossing the river VirajA , arriving at
     Parama Padham and worshipping the Lord there )
(9) PrApthi( Enjoyment of ParipoorNa BrahmAnandham there ). 
 
766) archirAdhi mahAmArga virOdha Samana priyAya nama:
 
Salutations to the AchAryan , who reconciled the different
statements by PramANams about the way stations of the path
of light (archirAdhi mArgam). Swamy Desikan provided parihArams
to these virOdhams and established correctly the progressive
way stations as the Muktha Jeevan travels via the path of light 
to Sri Vaikuntam . 
 
767) MadhavAthmaja bhUpArTa tatthvasandhEsa kArakAya nama:
 
Salutations to the merciful AchAryan , who created the chillaRai
rahasyam of Tatthva SandhEsam for the pleasure of the son of
king Maadhavan ( Sarvaj~na Singappan of Venkata Giri kingdom ,
who was Swamy Desikan's dear sishyan). The Svaroopam and
the SvabhAvam of the three Tatthvams ( ChEtanam , achEtanam
and Iswaran ) are explained in this rahasyam by Swamy Desikan . 
 
768) rahasya sandhEsa kruthipreetha Maadhav-puthrakAya nama :
 
Salutations to the AchAryan , who was pleased to create the additional
chillaRai rahasyam of "Rahasya SandhEsam " at the request of
his sishyan , Singappan ,  the son of king Madhavan. 
 
Here , Swamy gives the essence of the three rahasyams and
ends the Sri Sookthi with an instruction to reflect on the MahA
Vaakyam of " Aham aathmA ".
 
769) rahasya sandhEsa vivaraNAkhya kruthithOshakAya nama:
 
Salutations to that AchAryan , who created a commentary for the selected
