SrI:

Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan :

( 917) (PraNavam ) Srimath-SambhaNdha-Moola-yAja
nirAsamatha anthakAya nama:

( Meaning) : Salutations to that SadAchAryan , Swamy Desikan ,
who won over the opponents , who rejected the upAyam of Prapatthi
as the VyAjam based on our relationship with BhAgavAn  .

(Comments) : Until now , Swamy  Desikan refuted the objections
about Prapatthi based on the GuNa visEshams of the Lord . Now
Swamy  refutes the matham that  rejects Prapatthi because of
the special relationship (Srimath Sambhandham) between
the Jeevans and the Iswaran . He establishes that we can not
abandon the performance of Prapatthi because of that .

Their argument is that We are Seshaas for the Lord , Who is the Seshi .
We are like children to that Mother. We are entitled to the bhOgam of
Her breast milk . The child will claim its milk through the declaration of
its rights . Therefore , there is no need for the visvAsa Poorvaka prArtanA
( the rite of SaraNAgathy ) for protection . It does not fit our form as
the inherently rightful seshans.

Swamy Desikan's response : Our AchAryAs and Maharishis performed
Saanga Prapatthi with ViswAsam and PraarTanaa . They performed
upadesams on the need for Prapatthi with the support of Saasthra
PramANmas to their sishya  paramparais.

The same Saasthrams say that the Lord is our Seshi and that He protects us
thru the UpAyam of Prapatthi and expects RakshApEksham . Hence we have
to follow up on these Bhagavath Saasthrams pronouncing Upaaya anushtAnam ,
if we believe in His ShAsthrams  .

If we adopt the yukti ( outside the Sasthrams ) that we will get our mission
accomplished by arguing that we are His athyantha sEshis and we do not
need to gain Mokshan by specifically asking for it , there is a flaw in the
reasoning.

It is the Saasthrams that state we are the Seshans . If we cast aside this
saasthram and accept only the yukthi vaadham , we can not speak about
our SEshathvam ; We will end up in a position of rejecting the existence of
Iswaran .

There are others , who say the Sambhandha Jn~Anam alone (Sesha-Seshi
Jn~Anam) is enough and there is no need for Prapatthi . They learnt about
the need for Sambhandha Jn~Anam form SaasthrAs . Since the very same
Saasthrams say that they should perform Prapatthi , they can not accept
one doctrine of the BHagavath Saasthram  and reject the other .

Finally , This Naama Has "Srimath " sabdham in the front . We are all SeshAs
to BhagavAn . The Divine Couple together are our Seshis due to yEkasEshithva
Tattvam . Therefore Prapatthi has to be done to both .

(918) (PraNavam) avyAja-bhagavath-pAthrabhAva
manOpapatthignE nama:

( Meaning ) :Salutations to that AchAryan , who expalined the real
purport of other PramANams ( SomAsiyANDAn and  MahA BhAratha
SlOkam ) , which appear to suggest that the Lord will protect
without a vyAjam . (Swamy Desikan explained that this is not so
by removing the confusion about their meanings). The NyAsa Dasaka
slOkam " Swaami SvasEsham - - "   carries the true meanings and
proves the need for UpAyAnushtAnam .

(Comments) :After one performs Prapatthi according to Saastram ,
then he has no need to worry about his rakshaNam . He becomes
free of worries about his rakshaNam , since the Lord takes over .
He blessed us to perform the upAyam , becomes happy over
completing it and protecting us . Swamy  NammAzhwAr describes
this act of the Lord making us perform the UpAyam , becoming
delighted over it and thentaking over the protection of the SaraNAgatha
Jeevan . We cna not ever think of perfoming an upAyam by ourselves
and acting as our own rakshakAs (protectors) .

(919 ) (PraNavam) dhvaya - poorva SrIpadhOpa - lakshathva
vinAsakAya Nama:

 (Meaning ) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who rejected the notion that
the First "Srimath " sabdham (Sriman )of Dhvaya Manthram  is UpalakshaNam .
He established that the First Srimath Sabdham stands for Sri Devi being
UpAyam for Prapatthi and the second Srimath Sabdham being connected
to UpEyam ( Phalan) .

(Comments ) :The first half of Dhvaya manthram teaches UpAyam ;
the sceond haf talks about the Phalan . Both the portions house
"Srimath " Sabdham . Both assign equal roles for Sri DEvi .
Those who object to Prapatthi as a vyAjam treat the first Srimath
Sabdham as a UpalakshaNam and not as a VisEshaNam
(i-e) BhagavAn WITH Sri as a LakshaNam .

( 920) (PraNavam) SrivisEshaNa-bhAvOtthaOpAya dhithva
vibanjakAya nama:

(meaning ): Salutations to that AchAryan , who destroyed
the view that attributing UpAyam role for PirAtti is against
the SaasthrAs linked to anyOnyOpAyathvam ( There is Only
one upAyam ; BhagavAn ) .

(Commentary ) :The objection is : If we use Sri as a VisEshaNam
(adjective) , then the seeking of UpAyam is common for BhagavAn
and His Divine Consort . That in the opinion of this group is against
the SaasthrAs asserting " ananyOpAyathvam " of the Lord , Him being
the sole UpAyam for Parapatthi.

The answer or SamAdhAnam is : PirAtti and BhagavAn are both Seshis.
The attribute of becoming Seshi is the same for both according to
PoorvAchAryAs . It is correct to link VisEshaNam (Sri DEvi)with VisEshyam
(Bhagavaan) just as Bhagavaan has the visEshaNams of GuNams and
Vigraham . Therefore there is only one UpAyam , One UpEyam and
One Seshi ( yekasEshithvam) .
