(1004) (PraNavam)
AchArya kruthyavidhE nama:
(Meaning) : Salutations to that
AchAryan , who was fully conversant with
the duties of an AchAryan towards
His sishyAs .
(Commentary ): Now begins the Fourth part of
SrImath Rahasya Thraya Saaram:
SampradhAya Prakriyaa BhAgam .The highlights of
this first naamam of the fourth
part are: (1) The SadAchArya will
practise first what they have learnt
through their AchAryAs (2) Next ,
they will test the sishyAs regarding
their fitness for recieving UpadEsams in number of ways
before they instruct them ; they will
not initiate unfirt people and accept themas SishyAs .(3) They will protect the wealth of Jn~Anam
recieved from their AchAryAs with great zealousness (4) For the benefit of those ,
who may not have VisEsha Jn~Anam , they will bless that group of sishyAs with
abbreviated upadEsams on Tatthva-Hitha
-PurushArTams. They will follow
the niyamanam of BhagavAn that qualified sishyAs alone should recieve
the saasthra-based
upadEsams and not the unfit ones .This
way , they protect
not only the
sishya Vargam but protect
themselves as well .
(1005) ( PraNavam)
Sishya-kruthya vEdhana dhIkshithAya nama:
( Meaning ) : Salutations to the
AchAryan , who knew very well the duties
of the Sishyan ( This is the subject
matter of SishyakruthyAdhi adhikAram) .
(Commentary): The duties of the sishyan , who has
recieved upadEsam are :
(1) He/she should not engage in viparItha
anushtAnam , which will result in
the nullification of AchArya UpadEsam ; Jn~Anam
alone is not enough
(2) Must have VairAgyam and humility ; otherwise
all upadEsams are useless.
(3) Must not perform upadEsams for others for
money ; it is equivalent to
a woman selling her body to a stranger for money .
(4) Must protect the UpadEsams
from indifferent crowd and unfit ones . The
Vidhyai has to be zealously
protected from the hands of unqualified (5) Must
have unfailing gratefulness to
the AchAryan , who opened the spirtual eyes .Must
lay at the feet of AchAryan
all that one owns : sariram , soul and wealth. The
Bhakthi for the AchAryan must be
at the same par as that for Bhagavaan Himself .
(6) Must always remember the MahOpakAram rendered by the AchAryan . (7) When
performing upadEsam to others ,
one must follow the rigors of the sampradhAyam and
seek to glorify one's AchAryan .
(1006) ( PraNavam)
Yatheendhra-maahaanasika sampradhAya
sudhApradhAya nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to that
AchAryan , who distributed the nectar of
ThirumadaipaLLi
AacchAn born out of Bhagavath RaamAnuja's UpadEsams .
( Commentary) : Thiru MaDaipaLLi AcchAn is KidAmbi
AcchAn (Sri PraNathArthiharar) ,
was in charge of the kitchen for AchArya RaamAnujA
. He also performed antharanga
Kaimkaryam for YathirAjar and recieved the special
anugraham of YathirAjar.
With his proximity to YathirAjar , Thiru MadapaLLi
AacchAn ws able to grasp and retain
the precise views of AchArya RaamAnujA and
through his puthra-PouthrAs (Sons and
grandsons ) was able to propagate in tact the
sampradhAyic upadEsams of Bhagavath
RaamAnujA . Swamy Desikan was the sishyar of
the KoLLU pEran of KidAmbi AacchAn ( KidAmbi ApuLLAr ) . Hence Swamy Desikan
pays tribute here to His AchArya
Paramparai ( " MaDaippaLLI vantha MaNam
YengaL VaarthayuL manniyathE "
is the tribute of Swamy Desikan elsewhere
).
(1007) (PraNavam ) VirOdha
parihAra SrIsArasAra akshiyugmadhAya nama:
(Meaning): Salutations to that
AchAryan , who blessed us with the two eyes of
VirOdha ParihAram and Saara Saaram
after completing the magnum opus of
Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram

to answer any protests about items
discussed in
Srimath Rahasya Thraya
Saaram ).

(PraNavam) Soumya Kaarthika
raakaa SriparyangaarOhaNa
priyAya nama:
( Meaning) : Salutations to
that AchAryan , who ascended the divine bed of
Sriman NaarAyaNan at Sri
Vaikuntam on a Soumya Samvathsara Kaarthikaa
PourNami day .
( The Divine bed of AdhisEsha has SrI Devia as well as Her
Lord
and hence , it is saluted as "SrI
Paryangam " here . This auspicious Sri Paryangam
is the bed of the Divine Couple ,
who are our UpAyam and UpEyam ) .
( Commentary ) : Swamy Desikan lived for more than
100 years on this earth
and nourished Bhagavath RaamAnuja Darsanam
and protected it from attacks
by Paramatha Vaadhins and suggested
parihArams for internal confusions among
the Sri VaishNavAs . After fulfilling the goals of
His avathAram , Swamy Desikan
decided to ascend to Sri Vaikuntam . He was
born on a SravaNa nakshathram
day ( Mudhal AzhwAr Thirunakshathram) and ascended
to Parama Padham on
the Thirunakshathram of the Last
AzhwAr (Thirumangai). Hence , Swamy Desikan is
considered as the integrated avathAram of all the
twelve AzhwArs.
The Sahasra Naamam for Swamy Desikan
is over now .There are a few slOkams
that serve as Phala Sruthi and
Phala sruthi section starts :

ArchAvathAra Moorthy and protects all
and will protect the worlds for tens and tens of

phala siddhi from reciting this Sahasra Naamam due to Swamy Desikan's grace. It is
the same as River GangA removes

if that person was only taking
a bath for relief from his bodily aches
and pains .
