Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
253. thanakkAgak koNda sArathya vEshaththai avanaiyittup

thAnAna thanmaiyai ahamenRu kAttugiRAn.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
Previously, in the 'mAm', He had refered to Himself as
the charioteer. Here, He is using 'aham' to show His
supreme independent self.

He said 'mAm' refering to Himself in the garb of a 
charioteer, and asked that Arjuna surrender to Him.
Seeing Him in this role, which He had taken to protect
Arjuna, Arjuna forgot that He who is Supreme had done 
this for him. Instead of seeing this from His side, 
that 'the supreme protector has come down so low out 
of His own divine qualities', he saw it from his side,
that "This person who works for me and is my
charioteer, is asking me to give up all dharmas and 
surrender to him. If I do that, what would happen to
me".

In order to remove that fear, He is showing His 
supreme nature and is refering to His unbridled 
independence as 'aham'.
