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 .
