SrI:

Dear BhakthAs of Lord RanganAtha:

adiyEn will start the coverage  today of the meanings of
some more of the 17 Desika Sahasra  Naamams dealing with
the fifth chapter of SRTS , Tatthva Thraya  chintanaa adhikAram .

813) PramANagamya Dharmi-svaroopa- roopaka-dharma vidhE nama:

(Meaning) : Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who knew vey well
that both the dharmi svaroopam and its svaroopa nirUpaka
dharmams are to be understood together through pramAnams .

Comments: PramAnam stands for evidence or means of
valid knowledge.PramANams for us are Prathyaksham
(Perception) , anumAnam (inference) and Sabdham(Vedam)  .

The svaroopam ( inherent nature) of dharmi ( object ,
a substrate or a object  in which a quality inheres) is
supported by PramANams . Here the reference is to
" pramAnagamya dharmi savroopam ". Thus , this Dharmi
svarUpam is comprehended by PramANams .

This Dharmi Svaroopam has SvarUpa nirUpaka dharmam
( attributes that define the essential nature of an object)
as well . Swamy Desikan instructed us that the PramANams
reveal the dharmi (object) and its Svaroopa nirUpaka
dharmams together . Devoid of Svaroopa nirUpaka dharmams,
the vasthu(dharmi) can not exist . Therefore PramANams
reveal dharmi and Svaroopa nirUpaka dharmam in unison.

814) (PraNavam) Jeeva LakshaNa Tatthvaj~nAya nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who had a clear
understanding of the lakshaNams of the Jeevan(ChEtanam)
and how these lakshaNams differ from Iswaran although
there are some overlaps .

(Comments ) : Jeevan has Jn~Athvam , Aanandhathvam , Amalathvam
and aNuthvam . Iswaran has the first three svaroopa nirUpaka dharmams
like Jeevan but not aNuthvam . Iswaran on the other hand has Vibhuthvam.
Only by adding aNuthvam , we can hence define the Jeevan. Seshathvam or
being
the servant of the Lord is another lakshaNam for the Jeevan . This LakshaNam
can come into play only when the LakshaNams of both Iswaran and Jeevan
are fully defined.

815) (PraNavam)  Bhaddha LakshaNa lakshithrE nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who knew clearly
the LakshaNam of the bound Jeevans and their differences
from the muktha and nithya jeevans .

(Comments) : There are three kinds of jeevans : Bhaddhar , Mukthar and
nithyar . The uniqueness (lakshaNam ) of Bhaddha jeevan , which
are roiled in SamsAram is their possession of five dhOshams:

1) AvidhyA : The erroneous belief that the Sareeram is the Aaathma .
2) Karmaa: accumulating PuNya and Paapa karmaas
3) Vaasanaa: residual Impressions from the PuNya and Paapa karmaas
4) Ruchi:  The power of Vaasanaas that make the jeevan engage in
    more paapa and puNya karmaas , which gets the jeevan stuck
    further into SamsAram .
5) Prakruthi Sambhandham: As a result of the accumulation of Karmaas ,
    the Jeevan experiences multifold births in  different bodies.

816) (PraNavam) Bhaddha sTithi pravrutthij~Aya nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy  Desikan , who was knowledgabale
about the jeevan's  sTithi and pravrutthi that are unique to them.

(Commnets) : The differences in the sTithi (existence) of the three kinds of
Jeevans: Bhaddha Jeevan has the samsAric ties until moksham . For the
mukthAs and the nithyAs , the SamsAric ties do not persist. Regarding
differences in pravrutthi ( actions/vyApArams)  , BhaddhAs engage in
acts of PuNyam and Paapam. They also have actions that belong
neither to the class of PuNyam or Paapam such as winking of the eye
or sitting down . The Muktha and the nithya  jeevans do not have puNya
or Paapa acts although they share with the Bhaddha jeevan
the acts that are considered neither as puNyam or paapam.

817) (PraNavam) Muktha lakshaNa lakshithrE nama:

(Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who defined the lakshaNams
(unique traits ) of the muktha (liberated ) Jeevans.

(Comments): MukthAs differ from NithyAs and BhaddhAs in lakshaNams .
Freed from paapams and puNyams , the Muktha jeevans have the Svaroopa
aavirbhAvam in an unfettered manner . Their svaroopam is not hidden by
avidhyA , karmaas , vaasanaa or ruchi. They are liberated from these
lakshaNams unique to Bhaddha jeevans. Their svaroopam does not
undergo tirOdhAnam ( hidden) but comes out and is not eclipsed
(Svaroopa aavibhAvam). AavirbhAvam means shining without any thing
blocking it .

818) (PraNavam) Muktha  sTithi pravrutthij~naaya nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy  Desikan , who knew very well
the sTithi and pravrutthi of the muktha jeevans.

(Comments): For mukthAs , there is a time point at which their svaroopa
aavirbhAvam happens/dawns. After that , their svaroopa aavirbhAvam
stays without being hidden ever.There is an aarambham for the svarropa
aavirbhAvam for mukthAs. BhaddhAs have no svaroopa aavirbhAvam
since they are karma vasyaaLs . NithyAs on the otherhand are different
from BhaddhAs and MukthAs in the matter of Svaroopa aavirbhAvam .
NithyAs have no beginning time for svaroopa aavirbhAvam , since they
are eternally liberated .

When it comes to pravrutthi vyApArams , Bhadhda jeevans have no
opportunity for ParipoorNa bhagavath anubhavam at Sri Vaikuntam
arising from nithya kaimkaryam to the Lord there. Muktha jeevans ,
who had lost that bliss as Bhaddha jeevans regain it after moksha
siddhi .Nithya jeevans have it forever.they never lost it or regained it.
Losing the ParipoorNa brahmAnandham  in the Bhaddha state and
regaining it in the mukthA state are their (MukthA's) pravrutthi lakshaNam .

819) (PraNavam) Nithya lakshaNa laksithrE nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who instrcuted us on
the lakshaNams of the nithya jeevans and contrasted them
with the Bhaddha and muktha jeevans.

(Comments): The lakshaNams of Nithya Jeevans are : Having svaroopa
aavirbhAvam from time immemorial (anAdhi kaalam) and being paratantrAs
( adhinAs or obedient ) to the Lord , their Master . Like nithya jeevan ,
BhagavAn has also svaroopa aavirbhAvam eternally and is without
any time markers as in the case of Muktha  jeevans . Bhaddha jeevans do not
have any svaroopa aavirbhAvam like muktha , nithya jeevans or Iswaran .
While the nithya jeevan is under the control of Iswaran , latter (Iswaran)
is not under the control of any one. Thus , Iswaran is not a Paratantran .

820) (PraNavam) Nithya sTithi pravrutthij~nAya Nama:

(Meaning) : Salutations to Swamy  Desikan , who had clear knowledge of
the sTithi and pravrutthi of the nithya jeevans .

(Comments): Nithya jeevans differ in sThithi from the other two
kinds of jeevans . NithyAs have svaroopa aavirbhAvam from time
immemorial  and enjoy the dhivya dampathis eternally without any
start point . In contrast , muktha jevans are blessed with the enjoymemt
of ParipoorNa brahmAnandham only after gaining mOksham . Bhaddha
Jeevans' svaroopa aavirbhAvam does not take place due to their
anAdhi karnaas and therefore they do not have the paripoorNa
BrahmAnandham.Thus they differ in Seshi Tatthva anubhavam.
BhagavAn has BrahmAnandham but not in the role of Him as
a Swamy (Seshi) to Himself .The pravrutthi of the nithyAs
is that they have been performing kaimkaryams to the Lord
from time immemorial. There is no starting point for such
kaimakryams . It is anAdhi pravAham in nature. Muktha jevans
in contrast engage in such kaimkaryams only after Moksha dasai.
BhagavAn /Iswaran performs the acts of creation , protection
and destruction . These however are not Kaimkaryams . Only
those acts done by a servant to please his Master are defined as
Kaimkaryams.Iswaran has no Master and He performs His unique
acts like creation  as leelAs due to His own sankalpam . Uninterrupted
kaimkaryam to Iswaran ( Seshi) from time immemorial is the pravrutthi
lakshaNam of the Nithya Jeevan.
