SrI: Dear BhakthAs of Lord RanganAtha: adiyEn will start the coverage today with the meanings of of the rest of the 17 Desika Sahasra Naamams(821-827) dealing with the fifth chapter of SRTS , Tatthva Thraya chintanaa adhikAram . 821) ( PraNavam) nithyAdhyanyOnya bhEdha dhrusE nama: (Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who understood the differences between the three categories of Jeevans ( Nithyars, MUkthars and Bhaddhaas). (Comment): Sofar , the focus has been on the differences in the Svaroopa , sTithi and Pravrutthi between the three kinds of Jeevans. Through this nAmam , Thirukudanthai Desikan elaborates on the differences revealed by Swamy Desikan on the particular categories of (the three) Jeevans . There are many Bhaddha JeevAs. Thier Jn~Anam , Sukham , Dukkham are quite different form one another. Humans do not have the Jn~Anam and Sukham like the DevAs ; The animals do not have the Jn~Anam and Sukham that the humans have.Thus there are differences in each categories. Thus each jeevan has different degrees of Jn~Anam & Sukham. MukthAs on the other hand do not have these differences on Jn~Anam and Sukham . All of them have Svaroopa aavirbhAvam and they are omniscient (Sarvaj~nAs) as well . They are blessed to have ParipoorNa BrahmAnandham . They differ in the times at which they got mukthi . Therefore , the Svaroopa aavirbhAvam for the individual muktha jeevans happens at different times. This is the difference between various muktha jeevans. Among nithyaas , we can not find the differences in the time of Svaroopa aavirbhAvam since they are eternally liberated . There is no time variations here. They do not have any differences between thier svaroopam and sTithi. There is however differences in their pravrutthi (activities/kaimkaryams) . They have the same Bhagavath anubhavam but they have different kaimkaryams : Garudan as Vaahanam and Adhi Seshan as the Lord's bed and seat . 822) (PraNavam) nithya mukthAthma kaimkarya sArvavidhya niroopakAya Nama: (Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan who proved that the kaimkaryams done by the nithya and mukthAthmAs morph into every kind of kaimkaryam vicariously or otherwise . (Comments): Our AchAryaas prayed for all kinds of Kaimkaryams to BhagavAn in all states . This leads to the conclusion that mukthAs and nithyAs can do every type of kaimkaryams . The question arises: If the Nithya Sooris have well defined kaimkaryams ( VishvaksEna being the general of the Lord's army ), how can MukthAs aspire for those kaimkaryams , which have been reserved for the nithya sooris ? The answer is: Muktha jeevan is interested in performing the kaimkaryam that pleases the Lord , His Master. The Muktha jeevan knows well that the Lord has assigned specific kaimkaryams to the nithya jeevans. Knowing the Lord's will , the muktha jeevan will not compete with the nithya jeevan for those kaimkaryams assigned by their Lord . They see that the Lord is pleased with the specific kaimkaryam by the nithya jeevans and the Lord's pleasure makes them filled with bliss .That is how the fruit of all kinds of kaimkaryams is enjoyed by the Muktha jeevans even if they do not get to do it directly . 823) ThriguNa sTithi pravrutthij~nyA nama: (Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who fully understood the sTithi and pravrutthi of prakruthi made up of three different guNams. (Comments): Prakruthi is constituted by the three guNams: Sathtvam , Rajas and Tamas .The other achEtanams like Kaalam and Suddha satthvam are not made up of these three guNams. The sTithi of prakruthi : Moola prakruthi is eternal. It is always there . The rest of achEtana dhravyams like Mahath have sTithis , which are long and short . The Pravrutthi (VyApaaram) of Prakruthi can be even or different .These pravrutthis cause bhOgam for jeevan or sorrow. 824)(PraNavam) Isa lashaNa lakshithrE nama: (meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who instructed us on the lakshaNams of Iswaran . (Comments): Iswaran has the chEtanam and achEtanam under His control. His Svaroopam has five lakshaNams : Jn~Anam , Sathyam , Anantham , Aanandham and Amalam. Sathyathvam: ParamAthmaa' s savroopam never varies. JnAathvam : Self luminosity without any other agency's help . Anantathvam: Unlimited by kaalam , dEsam or vasthu. Aanandhathvam: Blissful state Amalathvam : free from any dhOsham or blemish. There are other lakshaNams for Iswaran as Jagath KaaraNathvam , Vibhuthvam et al as well . 825) (PraNavam) AvathAra rahasyaj~nyA nama: (Meaning) Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who understood the six truths behind the incarnations of the Lord : (1)The avathArAms are real happenings and not some magical acts. (2)BhagavAn's intrinsic nature is not affected in these avathArams ( no Jn~Ana SankOsams). (3) BhagavAn's sareeram during the avathAram is Suddha Sathva Mayam and is not made of Moola Prakruthi like ours . (4)BhagavAn's avathArams arise form His own will and not because of karmAs as in our case. (5) AvathArams happen when the dharmam begins to wane in the earth and unrighteousness is on the ascent . (6) The purpose of the avathAram is to protect the righteous ones. For a prapannan, the clear understanding of the six avathAra rahasyams firms up his MahA ViswAsam in the Lord as SaraNAgatha Rakshakan. (826) (PraNavam) Para -- vyUhAdhi bhEdha dhrusE nama: (Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who clearly understood the five states of existence of the Lord ( Param , VyUham , Vibhavam , archaa and antharyAmi). (827) (PraNavam) Sri Jagath kAraNAthvAdhi sAdhakAnEka yukthimathE nama: (Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who was skillful enough to advance the arguments that PirAtti shares the attribute of Jagath kAraNathvam with Her Lord . (Comments): Swamy Desikan has quoted many pramANams , Yukthis to handle the opposer's position on the Jagath KaaraNathvam of PirAtti along with Her Lord. With Their joint divine glances , They create the universe ( " oNDadiyAL ThirumahaLum ThAnumAhi oru ninaivAl yeenRa ulahu " is the statement of Swamy Desikan regarding this joint jagath kaaraNathvam ).
