SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama:

Dearest All,

AzhwAr expresses in this 5th decad his ananyagatitvam
and (having none other as his refuge) Akinchanyam
(helplessness) which are closely tied to Saranagati. 

Praathikoolyasya varjanam- abstain from what needs to
be avoided? and what is prescribed in the saasthras as
don?ts. 

Seyyadhana seyyOm- AndAL says in the second verse of
Thiruppavai. It is one of the ways in which the jeevan
pleases the Lord by adhering to saasthras thar are His
command. ANDAL describes about what is KARTHAVYAM(to
be done) and what is THYAAJYAM (to be discarded) in
this verse.  

SrI Satakopan Swami adds:

Acts to be discarded during the Nonbhu [Vratham- or
vow] Vaachika, Kaayika, maanasika thyAjyams (acts to
be abandoned / rejected) are: 

(1)"TheekkuRalaic-chenROdhOm " ( we will not speak
painful untruth and engage in purposeless talk ) is
vaachika ThyAjyam ( to be abandoned by our speech). 

(2)"SeyyAthana seyyOm ": We will not think on subjects
that will lead us astray.(PraathikUlya Varjanam of
SaraNAgathi anushtAnam is referred not only here but
in all thyAjyams referred to above and below ).

(3) NeyyuNNOm PaaluNNOm ": We will not consume ghee
and milk, which are day to day items in the lives of
Gopis. (It is easy to reject exotic items in our lives
rather than some thing that is part of "the pleasures
of daily life). Bhagavan Naama Sankeerthanam takes the
vratham observers' appetite away in the spirit of
ANDAL's father's (PriyAzhvAr's Paasura
Vaakhyams)statements :" uNNA nALL PasiyAvathu 
onRillai (NDP:438) and " nedumayAl ulahEzhum
aLanthAi--
KooRai sORivai VeNDuvathillai.." (NDP: 436). Before,
Ghee and Milk were Taarakam ( nourishment )for them;
now Bhagavan Naama SankIrthanam and Hari KathA
PaarayaNam is their Taarakam .
Unquote. 

Thus for the vratham (or nOnbu) of Saranagati also-
one needs to observe these deeds (not only while doing
the nonbu- even thereafter.]

vaaLaa laRutthus sudinum marutthuvanpaal
maaLaatha kaathaln^O yaaLanpOl maayatthaal
meeLaath thuyar_tharinum viRRuvakkOt tammaan^ee
aaLaa vunatharuLE paarppa NnatiyEnE             5.4

Oh Mighty Ruler of the Universe! Even when the doctor
(or surgeon) cuts the skin and tortures the patient,
the patient still loves and keeps going to the doctor
for curing his (or her) illness. Like the surgeon, who
cuts me up to heal me even the sorrows that You give
me- is to purify me and qualify me for sathgathi.
Therefore, I will only think about Your DayA GuNam
always and will never ever leave your lotus feet. 

AzhwAr ThiruvadigaLE saraNam
