SrI:

Dear BhakthAs :

Today adiyEn will cover the last KaalakshEpam highlights
of Srimath Azhagiya Singar ( slOkams 79-80 ) covering
the conversation between Mahaa RaaNi Sumathy and
her husband , VivEka Mahaa Raajan .

SlOkam 79:

Svayaa jushta: pathnyA vidhivadhiha yashtA svayamaham
  vidhatthE chArtthivyajam sama-dhama-mukhOyam guNagaNa:
akasmAth uddhEsyO bhavathi BhagavAn aathmahavisha:
  pasurBaddhO mukthim bhajathi vigalath karma nigala:

(Meaning): Myself (VivEkan ) will become Yajamaanan of this
Yaj~nam with You (Sumathy) as my dharma pathni. The guNams
like Samam and dhamam will become the officiating priests ( Rthviks).
Without seeking any Phalan , this havis of AathmA will be presented
to the Lord in this Yaj~nam. As a result , the handcuffs of karmAs
will break and the Bhaddha Jeevan will become free to gain Moksham.

The Jeevan becomes the adhikAri in this Yaj~nam of aathma-
svaroopa SamarpaNam through the  overcoming of dEhAthma
Bramam and knowing about  the Sesha-sEshi relationship  ( Aathmaa-
paramAthmA vivEkam ) . Here the bound Pasu is the Bhaddha
Jeevan . AathmA  is the havis . The target (uddhEsyam ) for this
aathma havis Yaj~nam is the Supreme Lord , the owner of that
aathmA . The handcuffs of karmAs are broken ( Vigalath karma
nigala: )  and the aathmaa reaches the state of Mukthi (Mukthim
Bhajathi /Mukthi sTAnam prApnOthi) .

After this slOkam , VivEkan appeals to his dharma pathni :

idham api athra bhavathyA bhAvaneeyam ( You must now understand
this as well ) . He addresses his wife with respect by choosing the term ,
BhavathyA:( BhavathyA:  bhAvaneeyam ).

SlOkam 80:

svaraakshaNa-bharArpaNa-kshaNika-sathriNa:
  pravartya krupayaa sTithim prabhrabhUtha-poorvOdhayaam
jagath-viparivarthana-praTitha-nithyasakthi : svayam
  kshipathya-punarankuram dhurithamasya Lakshmeepathi:

(Meaning ): Here , the general aathma samarpaNam was described .
Now for those , who do not have the power to perform the rigorous
and demanding Bhakthi yOgam , there is a Sathram (Yaagam ) , which
is the handing over the burden of one's rakshaNam (RakshaNa Bharam )
to the Lord Himself ( Bhara SamarpaNam ). This is a Yaagam that can be
performed  in a KshaNam ( second) . Rakshaa Bhara samarpaNam and Phala
SamarpaNam from that raksha should also be placed at the sacred feet
of the Lord with prayers and MahA viswAsam in Him as the unfailing
protector.

Until now , one vyAjam/upAyam for Mukthi ( Bhakthi yOgam ) was mentioned.
Now , another VyAjam/UpAyam(VyAjAntharam)  is referred to for gaining
Moksha Siddhi ( MumukshumAthra-saamAnyam SvaroopAdhi SamarpaNam ) .
This is " SvarakshaNa-bhara-samarpaNam " that could be completed in
one second ( little time). This Yaj~nam is approved by the VedAs ( VedOktha
Sathram ) . This is therfore "Vaidhiki NishtA ". This can be completed in
atrice
and is capable of sedtroying all sins on anushtAnam ( Sarva paapa
vimOkshaNam).

Here , Sumathy asks the question: When does Jeevan arrive at Moksha Dasai ?

VivEkan answered that one should not expect it happen instaneouly and that
dasai
(occasion ) will come , when the Saasthra Jn~Anama nd Yukthi are united .

This was followed by SlOkam 81 , which was covered in the previous posting .
In this slOkam , the one who desires moksham ( MUmukshu) should climb on
the steps of the ladder representing Bhagavath dayaa , which was revealed by
blemishless SadAchAryAs . The climb by the lucky one should be step by step
to reach Paramapadham of the Lord , which is totally devoid of any RajO or
TamO guNams (Suddha Satthvamayam).

Now , VivEkan anticipates the question from Sumathy : will LeelA DEvi make
that
climb happen ? He answers with slOkam 82:

Svayam upasamayanthi Swaamina: svairaleelAm
   svamathamiha  duhAnaa svaadhu paTyam prajAnAm
niyatham-iyam-idhAneem anayadhA vaa bhavithree
  niravadhi sukhasiddhyai nishprakampAnukampaa

(Meaning ) : Dayaa DEvi neutralizes the propensity of the Lord to
do whatever He wishes (yadEccha Leelaa) and comes forward to grant
what will be beneficial (hitham ) for the Jeevan and what she is fond of
doing for the well being of the Jeevan . She stays firm and grants this
limitless bliss for the Jeevan immediately or later ( immediate MOksham
for aarTa Prapannan  and Moksham at the end of the present life
for dhruptha prapaanan ) . When the moment for Dayaa strikes ,
no one and nothing can stop its effect .

SlOkam 83 :

avirala-guNacchAyaa mAyatama: prathirOdhini
  parihrutha-raja: pankaa taapairasamgaDithaa thribhi:
Madhuripu-dayaamoorthyr-dhivyaa nirAkruthakaNDakaa
  vahathy nigamAth varthanyEshaa pureemaparAjihtaam

(Meaning ) : Lord Madhusoodhanan's Dayaa is the raaja maargam
(royal road). That stretches from here to Parama Padham. On this road,
the limitless auspicous attributes of the Lord (Soulabhyam , souseelyam etc)
are densely present as comforting shade (aviralacchAyaa) . This Dayaa of
the Lord will banish the darkness of Moola Prakruthi . There are no sins
here
that result from the operation of the RajO or TamO guNams . The three kinds
of
sufferings ( Taapams) like aadhiboudhikam are NOT  seen here . The thorns ,
which are obstructing enemies in the path to Vaikuntam have been removed
now to make the journey by the Muktha jeevan comfortable. This is the nature
of
Dayaa devi standing in the form of the ladder to Parama Padham . Brahmapuram
is our body , the starting point of the Jeevan and the invincible
(aparAjitham)
Vaikunta Nakaram is the end point . The ladder of the Lord's Dayaa connects
both .

Now Sumathy asks: Oh VivEka Mahaa Raajaa ! It is so pleasing to hear your
words.
It is however looks like a descptive utterance made to children ,since it is
hard
to believe that the Jeevan bent under the back-breaking weight of its karmAs
can lift itself out of its ocean of sorrow and arrive at Sri Vaikuntam . It
all sounds
very sweet to hear (ukthAvath athyantha maadhuryam) ; in practise however ,
it
is impossible to accomplish ( anushtAnE athyantha kaDuthvam ).

VivEka Mahaa Raajaa sighs and is incredulous about his wife's statement .
He responds : Oh Auspicious wife (BhadrE ) ! You are known for rejecting
things that actually exist ! Do not be influenced by false visions ! Have
You
ever come across an instance , where Vedam touts untruth ? Have You ever
heard that he Lord has changed his mind about the vow that he undertook
to protect His bhaktha janams ? How can I grow your faith in what I said
earlier ? Let me try to convince you about the mahimai of the sanklapam
of MurAri :

sapE dhaishtikyEna  svayamiha bhavathyA cha SumathE
thvayaiva dhrashtavya: svapanavigamOnmeelitha dhiyaa
ahamkAragrAha-graha-kadhanasAkrandha tanubrun-
mumuksha-samraBdhO MuramaTana sankalpa mahimaa

Oh Sumathy ! I swear on You , my dear one ! I swear on all acts
performed with faith that are unseen (adhrushtam) ! You yourself
can witness the glories of Bhagavath Sankalpam ( the will of the Lord).
May you awaken from the sleep and open your eyes ! The attachment to
the ahankAram linked to dEhAthma abhimAnam is the crocodile that caught
hold of the leg of the GajEndhran in that lotus pond . That ahankAram is
the one that sinks  the unfortunate ones in the ocean of samsAram.
It is the soulful cry about being grabbed by that ahankAram and
the manifestation of intense desire to gain moksham will  lead one
to see in action ,  the Lord's sankalpam to rush to respond . One can
experience the paraparappu of the Lord's Sankalpam . Is it fair to close
one's eyes and say that the object does not exist ?

(Comments): One who argues that there is BhAgyam by pursuing
some thing noble and auspicious such as the subha karmaa of
Prapathti and believes in the the power of the Sankalpa Sakthi of
the Lord  is Dhaishtikan . He is a Mumukshu ( one desirous of Moksham)
and cries out loud about the pain caused by dEhAthmAbhimAna
ahankAram that has caught hold of his leg and is making him
sink deepr into the samsAric ocean . He cries out for BhagavAn's protection 
.
The act of such a dhaishtikan is Dhaishtikyam . The opposite of
Dhaishtikan is Naishtikan , who does not believe in such things.
VivEkan asks his wife to open her eyes and see the truth . He says
that BhagavAn's sankalpam to protect the SaraNAgathan at all times
and places and at all costs will not fail .
