SrI:
 
Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs :
 
From NaamA 493 to 523 , Thirukkudanthai Desikan selects content
from Rahasya Rakshaa group of Swamy Desikan's Sri Sookthis .
The collective name of "Rahasya Rakshai " is given to the insightful
Sanskrit commentaries of Swamy Desikan for AchArya RaamAnujA's 
Gadhya Thrayam and Swamy AlavanthAr's ChathuslOki and 
SthOthra Rathnam SrI Sookthis . The Gadhya Thrayam is made up of
the three gadhyams ( urai nadai / prosody ) of SaraNAgathy , Sriranga
and Vaikunta Gadhyams . The Gadhya Thraa BhAshyam covers Swamy 
Desikan's brilliant commentary on the above three gadhyams .
 
493. BhAshyakArOktha gadhya thraya vyAkhyAna vichakshaNAya nama:
 
(Meaning) : Salutations to the AchAryan , who commented skillfully upon
the three  Gadhyams of EmperumAnAr .
 
494. Gadhya thraya vyAkruthithva niroopaNa vichakshaNAya nama:
 
(Meaning) : Salutations to the AchAryan , who had the skills to prove that
AchArya RaamAnujA's gadhyams are commentaries on nothing but
the dhvya manthram .
 
The entire Gadhyam is the description of the Dhvayamanthram's glories .
AchArya RaamAnujA out of his infinite mercy elaborated and celebrated 
the Dhvaya manthram , which helped him practise the NyAsa Vidhyai for his
ujjeevanam . He wanted others to benefit from it as well and described it
in his gahyams  the context of a conversation he had  with the Lord .
Swamy Desikan established in his commentary on the Gadhyams that
they are elaborations of the Dhvaya manthram and its message in its totality .
 
495. Gadhya prapatthi prAdhAnya parathva prathipAdhakAya nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who established that the primary
intent / purport of Gadhyams is about instructing us on Prapatthi mArgam
to gain mOksham from the dhivya dampathis . Swamy Desikan explains
AchArya RaamAnujA's message that the primary purport of Gadhya Vaakyams
is Prapatthi . He recognized that Prapatthi is PradhAnam in Gadhya Vaakyams .
When one looks at  the Svaroopam of Prapatthi , it becomes clear from
Gadhya Vaakyam  the the SiddhOpAyan BhagavAn is the PradhAnan .
 
496. prapithsupoorva madhyaishyath kaala karthavya  BhOdhakAya nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who instructed us on what  one
desirous of performing Prapatthi should do before , during and after
the performance of Prapatthi .
 
Before performance of Prapatthi , he or she should gain Jn~Anam about
the UpAyam ( Prapatthi as a means for Moksham); He or she should approach
PirAtti next as PurushakAram ( seek Her intercession ) .
 
During the performance of Prapatthi , he or she should place at the sacred
feet of the dhivya dampathis , the burden of their protection .
 
After Prapatthi , the Prapannan should know the rules of conduct during 
the Post-prapatthi stage and perform kaimkaryams befititng their new status. 
 
497.SaraNyapoorvamadhyaishyath kaalakarthavya vEdhithrE nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who revealed to us the duties of
BhagavAn (SaraNyan) before , during and after one's Prapatthi.
 
Before Prapatthi , Bhagavan has to accept His PirAtti's PurushakAra
prarOchanam ( appeal for intercession on behalf of the Prapannan ).
During Prapatthi performance , BhagavAn has to accept the responsibilities
for protecting the Prapannan . After the completion of Prapatthi , BhagavAn
has to stand in the place of the difficult to practise Bhakthi yOgam , create
anthima smruthi for the jeevan and grant it nithya kaimkaryam at Srivaikuntam
after uthkaramaNam ( ascent from the body cage) .
 
498. LakshmI-prapatthimOkshArTa prapathyarTathva saadhakAya nama:
 
(meaning) : Salutations to the AchAryan , who established that Lakshmi
Prapatthi is done to assure Prapatthi for Moksha Siddhi .
 
EmperumAnAr performs Prapatthi to Lakshmi first in Gadhyam .
Swamy Desikan explains in his commentary as to why EmperumAnAr
does so from VishNu purANa pramANams that recognizes MahA Lakshmi
as the Vidhyai ( Knowledge) for gaining Moksham.
 
When one does Prapatthi , there should be total interest in PrApyam
( the goal of Moksham and attaining the Lord as Moksha phalan ) ,
firmness of resolve in the upAyam of Prapatthi and disinterest to pursue
other upAyams in parallel. One needs that type of tranquil mind state.
EmperumAnAr prays to PirAtti for that boon of intercession (SipArisu) .
 
Further , our Lord will not pay attention to jeevans loaded with sins .
If one seeks PirAtti as sipArisu (PurushakAram) , She will speak for us
to Her Lord pleading with Him to overlook our trespasses . It is not easy
for one and all to perform prapatthi successfully . One needs full MahA
ViswAsam for Prapatthi . A jeevan can not gain MahA ViswAsam readily .
Many sins will stand in the way of gaining that . Such obstacles will interfere
with the anushtAnam of Prapatthi as an UpAyam for Moksham . To overcome
these obstacles and  gain MahA VisvAsam , one has to seek PirAtti's aasraYaNam .
She has visEsha adhikAram ( special power) to bless us with auspicious
Jn~Anam , success in effort and power to remove the obstacles interfering
with the development of MahA VisvAsam .She only knows about blessing
us with anugraham (anugrahamayee) and does not engage in nigraham
( anger and rejection ) . Hence , Bhagaavth Prapatthi will surely succeed  
due to the anugraham of PirAtti .  The Prapannan performs Sri Prapatthi
first to gain the power to Bhagavath Prapatthi and then performs Bhagavath
Prapatthi . There is thus a Vidhi ( recommended route) and anushtAnam
( Perfprmance ) that follows .
 
499. KamalAnugrahaikAnthya pAramya-thrANa dheekshithAya nama:
 
(Meaning): Salutations to the AchAryan , who was firm & skillfull
in protecting the Superiority of PirAtti as anugrahamayee and totally
devoid of any disposiiton towards nigraham using pramANams from Srimath
RaamAyaNam ( Treatment of offending RaavaNan ), SrI VishNu PurANam
( Indhra Sthuthi) and the Vedams ( She is praised as Iswari for all the Lokams
just as Her husband is recognized as Iswaran for them ) , PoorvAchAryaas
( Swamy AlavanthAr , EmperumAnAr ,  KurEsar and Bhattar) Sri Sookthis
( ChathusslOki , SrI Sthavam , GuNa Rathna Kosam ) . Swamy Desikan points out
that one can not reject all these PramANams and put down the limitless glories
of PirAtti ( anavdjika adhisaya asankyEya kalyANa guNa gaNAm aSaraNya
SaraNyAm in Gadhyam words ) .
 
By recognizing the limitless glories of PirAtti , BhagavAn's matchlessness
in GuNams is not impaired . When we say that the Lord has as His consort ,
MahA Lakshmi with limitless glories , His stature is enhanced . No other gods
have consorts with similar superior glories . She is like PrabhA (tEjas) for 
the Sun of BhagavAn .  The Sun gets enhanced in His glory due to the PrabhA . 
 
500. SrInyAsa-pAramikAnthya bhanjakathva nivArakAya nama:     
 
(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who banished the doubt that
PurushakAra prapatthi performed to PirAtti will destroy PaaramaikAnthyam
of the one , who seeks Moksham . The question is : Will the Lakshmi
Prapatthi done before Bhagavath prapatthi counter the the solitary
trust in BhagavAn ( Parama yEkAnatha BhAvam ) of the Mumukshu ?
Swamy Desikan answers it does not since Prapatthi at the sacred feet
of PirAtti is to firm up the success of Bhagavath Prapatthi anushtAnam
( Ref: Sahasra NaamA 498). BhagavAn and PirAtti are Seshis ( Master
and Mistress ) for us .Bhagavath yEkanthi means yEkAnthi attached to
both BhagavAn and PirAtti as revealed to us by ParAsara Bhattar in
his SrI GuNa Rathna Kosam .
