SrI:

 Dear BhakthAs :

Today adiyEn will cover the last KaalakshEpam highlights
of Srimath Azhagiya Singar ( slOkams 76-85 ) and the prose passage
in between during the conversation between Sumathy and her husband ,
VivEka Mahaa Raajan .

The commentary of Vaikunta Vaasi Sri UtthamUr Swamy
is being used by Srimath Azhagiya Singar as the source text .
Rest of it is the unparalleled rasAnubhavam of Swamy Desikan's
Sri Sookthi by Srimath Azhagiya Singar . adiyEn seeks aparAdha
KshAmaNam rrom asmath AchAryan  for mistakes in my coverage
due to my mandha mathi.

Aarambham
**************
RaajA : Oh dear one , who speaks without deciet ( Visuddha bhAshiNi  )!
Please listen to this brief summary ( SookshmArTa Sangraha: ).

SlOkam 76:

Madha-matsara-maanamaya: pumAn
Bahu-pisAsa-gruheetha ivArbhaga :
nigama siddha narEndhra nireekshayaa
nipuNapaddhathim abhyavapadhyathE

(Meaning): Purushan is like a child possessed by the many goblins
( PisaasukaL) with the names of desire (raagam ) , hate ( dhvEsham ) ,
haughtiness (garvam) et al . He arrives in that sad state at the city
known as Vedham , where Sarva JeevEswaran resides and  presides .
This Supreme Lord is a great Vaidhyan ( Doctor) . When SarvEswaran's
glances fall on this Purushan ( Jeevan) , then the Jeevan will be rid off
the tormenting goblins and return to the sampradhAyic path .

Here the Jeevan is compared to " Bahu PisAsa gruheetha arbhakan ".
The Lord is saluted as " Nigama siddha NarEndhran" . The SaasthrEic
way (raaja Maargam and not otthai paathai) is decribed as "nipuNa
paddhathi ".

SlOkam 77:

The next slOkam covers the happening after the JaayamAna
KaDAksham of the Lord falls on the struggling Jeevan :

anaga-dEsika-dhrushti-sudhAplavE
vidhivasAth upasEdhishu dEhina:
vimala-BhOdha-mukhA vividhA guNA:
pariNamanthy apavarga-dasAnkuraa:

(meaning ): When the KaruNA katAksham falls on the Jeevan ,
then it gets drenched in the nectar of Dayaa of the faultless AchAryan
and the sprouts for Moksham like blemishless Jn~Anam , control
of Indhriyams , sprout forth .

Here AchArya KatAksham is equated to that of the rejuvenatiing
power of nectar. These AchAryAs are totally devoid of any defects
( anaga DesikA: ). They possess vimala Jn~Anam ( BhOdha mukhA: ).
SudhA plavam refers to bathing ( Thirumanjanam ) in nectar. This
AchArya Sambhandham happens due to the BhAgyam of Iswara
anugraham ( vidhivasAdhupasEdhishi) . Then the various auspicious
attributes (Vividha GuNA: ) in preparation for travel on the Raaja Maargam
of Moksham sprout (apavarga dasAnkurA: pariNamathy). Previous slOkam
covered the situation before AchArya PrApthi; this slOkam describes
the situation of those who have been blessed with AchArya anugraham
to perform upAya anushtAnam ( Prapatthi/ Bhakthi yOgam ).

In the next slokam ( 78th) , the focus is on upAya siddhi from
the completion of the anushtAnam .

SlOkam 78:

svAdheenEtarapaatha bheethi parushasvar-vaasa dhurvAsanaa-
 paasA-karshaNa-yanthraNAbhirabhitha: kshipthAthmana: KshEthriNa:
nishprathyUha-vijrumbhamANa-karuNA dhughdhArNavE nirbharA:
 bhakthi: sEthsyathi bhAgadEya-vasatha: PRAAPYE PARABRAHMANI

(Meaning ): On reaching Svargam due to PuNyams , the Jeevan develops
the fear that it will fall down to samsAra lOkam at the end of spending its
puNyams . That is the horror of finiteness of  Svarga vaasam . KsheeNE puNyE
adhO gathi ( Downward descent at the end of the using up of accumulated
PuNyams). Eihikia phalams lead to Svargam. There he enjoys the bhOgams .
Now the fear (bheethi) takes over about losing them (bhOgams) at the end of
expending the puNyams and knows that he has no control (asvaadheenam)
over the consequent descent to SamsAram . Various ropes of Vaasanais
( residual effects of karmAs) pull the jeevan (dhurvAsanaa paasAkarshaNam)
hither and thither. He struggles valiantly . He is helpless and befuddled .
At this time of distress , due to bhAgya visEsham of AchArya anugraham
and the  uninterrupted flow of the nectarine dayaa of AchAryan
generates bhakthi to Parabrahmam (Bhakthi yOgam sprouts) .  For these
Bhakthi yOga nishtAs , the next happening is the performance of
the Yaagam of Aathma SamarpaNam at the sacred feet of the Lord .
AchArya KaruNA is equated here to " NishprathyUha vijrumbhamANa
KaruNaa " ( Tadai illAthu surakkum karuNai) . The jeevan that is immersed
in that milky ocean ( dhugdhArNavam) due to bhAgyam is equated  to
one without any burden ( nibharaa: ) due to leaving the burden of protection
to the Lord . Bhagavath anugraham, achArya Sambhandham , generation of
Bhagavath Bhakthi and finally aathma samarpaNam are the stages of
progress of the bhAgyasAli Jeevan .
