SrI :  
 
Today , we will conclude the study of the last five Sahasra NaamAs relating to
SrImath Rahasya Thraya Saaram .   With this posting , we have covered all
the 216 Sahasra NaamAs ( 793-1008) associated with SrImath Rahasya Thraya
Saaram . After this posting , we will revert to covering of the
the Sahasra Naamams  
realting to Tatthva Muktha KalApam , SarvArTa Siddhi, Satha DhUshaNi ,
ChillaRai Rahasyams and with Swamy Desikan's anugraham complete the total
coverage of all the 1008 NaamAs blessed to us by Thirukkudanthai Desikan .
 
(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 (Reference : Naamaas 70 and 758) .
( They were created as SamAdhAnams to answer any protests about  items
discussed in Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram ).
 
(1008)  (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 :
 
athrArcchayA Jagath Sarvam pAlayan jayathi hyasou
 
(Meaning): Thus shines Swamy Desikan now as ArchAvathAra Moorthy and protects all
and will protect the worlds for tens and tens of of thousands of years .
 
idham GurOr-dhivya sahasranAma sthOthram mahArTam sarasArTaBhOdham
paDanthy yE SameehithArTasiddhim labanthE athra parathra chApi 
 
(Meaning): This divine Sahasra Naama SthOthram of Swamy Desikan has deep
and esoteric meanings about our SiddhAntham . It blesses us with the most enjoyable 
meanings that please the heart . Those who recite it will be blessed with all what they
desire in this and the other world.
 
phalAn-apEshA api GurO: prasAdhAth siddhim samApnOthyanupanga siddhAm
SramaapanOdhanAya kruthAvagaaham GangA pavithree kuruthE hi janthum
 
(Meaning) : Even those , who do not seek any phalan gains aanushankika (unsought)
phala siddhi from reciting this Sahasra Naamam due to Swamy Desikan's grace. It is the same as River GangA removes all the sins of a person taking bath in Her waters even if that person was only taking a bath for relief from his bodily aches and pains .
 
GopAladhAsasya gurUthtamAgri bhakthi sravanthi hrudhayABja kOsAth
nirgathya tannAma SahasraroopA taddhAyina: sarvajanAm punAthi
 
(Meaning) : The flood of Bhakthi for AchAryOtthaman , Swamy  Desikan flowing from
the heart bud of GopAla Daasan ( Thirukkudanthai Desikan ) has taken the form of
this "Sahasra Naamam " and sanctifies every one , who reflect on them .
