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) .
