SrI:

Dear BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan :

( 925) (PraNavam ) Prapatthi MokshOpAyathva  BhAdhaka-vrAtha
nAsakAya nama:

( Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who destroyed the assembly
of reasonings ( yukthi samUhams) , which denied that Prapatthi is not
an upAyam for Moksham .

(Comments): Until now , the naamAs relating to SiddhOpAya
sOdhaNAdhikAram focused on the defects of Para Mathams . Now ,
Swamy Desikan turns against the incorrect positions of others ,
who hold that Prapatthi can not be an upAyam for Moksham.

(1) There are those , who object that Prapatthi can not be
an upAyam for MOksham since BhagavAn alone is our UpAyam.
Swamy Desikan answered these critics earlier ( Vide : 914 & 915th
Desika Sahasra Naamams) . He gives additional reasons through
this Sahasra Naamam .

(2) Our Matham holds that Prapatthi is the SahakAri KaaraNam
( indirect upAyam /VyAjam that  assists the Lord , when Iswaran becomes
the upAyam ). The opponents say : How can you say that ?
If Iswaran expects this sahakAri KaaraNam to help Him to protect us ,
How can you call Him "nirapEkshan " ( One who does not need
the help of anything else ) ? If He can not protect us without SahakAri
KaaraNam ( Prapatthi) and to grant us Moksham , How can we call
Him Omnipotent (Sarva Sakthan ) ? How can You say that He is
KaruNAkaran ( one filled with compassion )? There are Yukthis
(false reasonings/Kyukthis) like these to support their view that
Prapatthi is not SahakAri KaaraNam .

All of these arguments are against accepted PramANams .They are
therefore incorrect and have to be cast aside . The PramANams are:
"YamEvaisha: " and " BhakthyA ParamayA " . The first one ( YamEvaisha: )
says : " Only those whom Bhagavan elects (varaNam) with affection
reach Him . The second PramANam ( BhakthyA ParamayA ) says: There
are no other ways to reach Bhagavan except through the anushtAnam of
Bhakthi Yogam or the performance of Prapatthi. These pramAnams are
Veda Manthrams and can not become  false . Reasoning has to be done
based on accepted PramANams .  Reasoning can not be used to afect
accepted PramANams . Therefore , these PramANa viruddha Yukthis
(Tarka Vaadhams) have to be banished .

These false reasonings(Kuyukthis)  have additional weaknesses .
First of all , these tarkams have no vyApthi (extendability). For instance ,
a pot maker (Kuyavan) needs water as sahakAri to  mold the clay
into a pot . You can not call him asakthan (powerless) in making
a pot because he needs water as a Sahakaari. Therefore , even if
one expects a sahakAri ( Prapatthi as a sahakAri ) , You can recognize
the Lord as the Sarva Saktha Rakshakan . Even if He expects Parapatthi as
a SahakAri KaaraNam , He does not depend on it as a PradhAna
KaaraNam . Therefore , it is perfectly alright to recognize Prapatthi
as an UpAyam ( VyAja mAthram) for gaining the Lord's RakshaNam .

With this Desika Sahasra Naamam , the coverage of the SiddhOpAya
sOdhanAdhikAram comes to conclusion . From NaamAs 926 to 942
( 17 NaamAs ) , the 24th Chapter of Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram
(SaadhyOpAya sOdhanAdhikAram ) is covered by Thirukkudanthai Desikan .

adiyEn will translate first the summary in Tamil by Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan
in the next posting before focusing on the individual NaamAs connected
to this adhikAram .
