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.
