SrI: Dear BhakthAs of Lord RanganAtha: adiyEn will continue with the 860th to the 862nd Sahasra Naamams today, which will take us from the 8th chapter to the 9th chapter of Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram : Chapter 8 : AdhikAri VibhAgha adhikAram ( NaamAs: 860 & 861) Chapter 9: UpAya VibhAga adhikAram ( 862nd Naama) (860) (PraNavam) adhikAri vibhAga VidhE nama: (Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who knew the categories of adhikAris (Qualified ones) , who follow the upAyam (means ) for Moksham . (Comment ): The ones qualifiied to observe MokshOpAyam are of two kinds: (1) Bhakthi yOgins and (2) Prapatthi yOgins . Alternatively , they are known as (1) SadhwAraka Prapanna and (2) adhvAraka Prapanna . Those who follow Bhakthi yOgam perform prapatthi in between to ward off any interferences to their Bhakthi yOgam .They fulfil Bhakthi yOgam through Prapatthi and gain Moksham . This category of people are SadhvAraka Prapannas or SadhwAraka Prapatthi nishtars . Others who use Prapatthi as UpAyam for Moksham. They do not use any other means and wish to gain Moksham solely through Prapathhi . They are called adhvAraka Prapatthi nishtars or adhvAraka prapannAs . There is no difference in the ultimate Moksha Phalan in the case of the two categories of Prapannas , who chose one or the other route based on their status and fitness . Every one is eligible for performing Prapatthi . It will remove all anishtams ( inauspiciousness). It needs to be done only once. It yields fruits very quickly ( in a trice) . It will not tolerate any other upAyam to be done with it for Moksha Phalan .It destroys PrArabdha karmAs and gives the fruits of Prapatthi , when one wishes. Therefore Prapatthi Yogam is easy to practise , quick yielding and therefore superior in many ways to Bhakthi yogam practised to gain Moksham. 861) (PraNavam) prapathyavaanthara bhidhA vEtthAya nama: (Meaning) : Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who knew the nature of the four kinds of Prapatthi( Svanishtai, AchArya Nishtai , Ukthi Nishtai and BhAgavatha Nishtai). (Comments):The Prapathti performed directly by a qualified one is Sva Nishtai. AchArya Nishtai is the one , when AchAryan performs the Prapatthi for the Sishyan. This adhikAri fits in to the Prapatthi done by the AchAryan for himself and for those belonging to him . Ukthi Nishtai is the one , where the adhikAri repeats the prapatthi vaakyams said by AchAryan and places the burden of his protection at the sacred feet of the Lord . BhAgavatha nishtai is the one , when the adhikAri stays covered by the prapatthi done by a Bhagavathan , who is not his AchAryan . (862) ( PraNavam) UpAya VibhAga vidhE nama: (Meaning): The UpAyam (means to be followed ) for Moksham are two: Bhakthi and Prapatthi. One who performs Prapatthi says: "Oh Lord ! I am powerless to perform Bhakthi yOgam.You must stay in its place and grant me the Phalan of Bhakthi yOgam (viz) Moksham. Thus Iswaran becomes the UpAyam or means in this instance . One who performs Bhakthi yOgam performs prapatthi as often as he meets an obstacle during the steps of Bhakthi yOgam. Bhagavan responds to that plea for help ( Prapatthi) and stands in the place of the difficult to accomplish task and completes the anushtAnam of Bhakthi yogam . In this chapter on UpAya VibhAgaadhikAram , Swamy Desikan also covers Karma yogam and Jn~Ana yOgam , which are auxillaries to Bhakthi yOgam and discusses Para Jn~Anam and Parama Bhakthi that follow karma and Jn~Ana yOgams .
