SrI: Dear BhakthAs: Today , adiyEn will cover the Fifty first slOkam of Sri SaraNAgathi DhIpikai , where Swamy Desikan appeals further to the Lord and asks Him not to act impulsively , but to evaluate the pros and cons of His decisions on either coming to his rescue or abandoning him as one who has performed Prapatthi : thyAgE GuNEsa saraNAgatha-samji~nO mE sthyAna-aagasO-api sahasaiva parigrahE vaa kim nAma kuthra bhavathIthi krupAdhibhis-tE gUDam niroopaya guNa-itara tAratamyam SrI SaraNAgathi DhIpikai: SlOkam 51 Meaning: ******** Oh ViLakkoLi EmpermAnE! adiyEn has committed so many sins. Inspite of that , adiyEn has performed SaraNAgathi at Your sacred feet. You could choose to abandon me or You could elect to come to my rescue immediately.But , You should evaluate first the pros and cons of Your decision eitherway ? You may ask as how to go about it. You must use the great auspicious guNams like DayA and other subha guNams . You must consult with them (GuNAs) privately and take their counsel on : (1) Is it good or bad to abandon adiyEn ? (2) Is it good or bad to give me an uplifting hand? (3) Would there be benefits or problems from abandonig adiyEn , the SaraNaagathan? You must decide thereafter. Swamy Desikan seems to be convinced that the GuNAs of the Lord will tilt the Lord's decision towards protecting him. Additional Comments ******************** Swamy Desikan addresses the Lord of ThirutthaNkA as GuNEsan or the Master of all auspicious GuNams like DayA , Soulabhyam et al. He admits however that he (Swamy Desikan) is an aparAdhi and sinner ( sthyAna aagasa api).He points out further that he is one , who bears the title of SaraNAgathan (SaraNAgatha samji~na:) inspite of his many aparAdhams.Oh Lord ! You can do one or the other thing . You can decide to abandon adiyEn ( thyAgE mE)or You may decide to rush to my rescue (sahasA yEva parigrahE vaa).Before You decide one way or the other ,You must examine the consequences of Your decision ( mE ThyAgE vaa , sahasA yEva parigrahE vaa kuthra tE kim naama bhavathi ithi niroopaya ). Oh Bhagavan! Please do Your consultation secretly with Your exalted guNAs like DayA (GuNa ithara tAratamyam KrupA aadhibhi: gUDam niroopaya) about the ups and downs ( tAratamyam) of Your decision to rescue me or abndon me !
