SrI:

Dear BhakthAs of Lord RanganAtha:

adiyEn will cover today the one Desika Sahasra Naamam
dealing with the fourth chapter of SRTS , ArTa Panchaka
adhikAram .

810) arTapanchaka tatvaj~nyAya nama:

(meaning ) : Salutations to Swamy  Desikan , who understood
clearly the meanings of the five tatthvams that are important
for one seeking Moksham .

(Comments) : This chapter of SRTS deals with the five important
doctrines that one must understand . All the VedAs , IthihAsams
and PurANams speak principally about these five items for
the benefit of a Mumukshu .These are known as arTa Panchakam .

ArTa panchakam covers the meanings of five topics
that a Mumukshu has to know :

1) Praapyan : The ParamAthmaa , who is the object of attainment .

2) PrApthaa: JeevAthma , who seeks the ParamAthmaa , the PrApyan .

3) PrApthi UpAyam: The means for the Jeevan to gain ParamAthmaa.

4) Phalan: The fruit of attaining ParamAthmaa.

5) PrApthi VirOdhi: The obstacles for the Jeevan in attaining 
ParamAthmaa.

One who seeks Moksham has to reflect on the five menings
of the above five items housed in the three rahasyams :

1. Svaroopam of ParamAthmaa:  He never is without His DEvi.
He has immeasurable Jn~Anam and Aanandham. He is free
of any defects. He has limitless auspicious attributes.
He is the foundation (aadhAram) for all the world and its
beings . He has a divine and auspicious form ( dhivya mangaLa
vigraham) , which is not made up of panchabhUthams ( aprAkrutham).
That body is made entirely of suddha satthvam. He has as His body
both  the LeelA VibhUthi and Nithya VibhUthi ( This earth and the other
world).He has as His leelA , the acts of creation , protection and 
destruction of the worlds and their beings. This ParamAthmA is
enjoyed by the Jeevans in the state of Moksham.

2. JeevAthmA : It is of atomic size. It is also of Jn~Ana-aanandha
Svaroopam .It is an unconditional servant of the Lord. It is under
the Lord's control. It  is destined to attain ParamAthmaa. The Jevans
are of three kinds : Bound ( Bhaddha) , liberated (Muktha) and eternally
unbound ( Nithya) Jeevans .

3. Upaayam: There are two Upaayams for securing Moksham:
Bhakthi yOgam and Prapatthi yOgam . For one , who does not have
the power to practise Bhakthi yOgam , Prapatthi is the easy -to-practise
upAyam .

4.Phalan: The fruit enjoyed in Moksham is to arrive at Sri Vaikuntam
and enjoy ParamAthmA there  blissfully through uninterrupted 
kaimkaryam to Him there .

5. Phala VirOdhi: avidhyai( false & vipareetha knowledge ) , 
poorva janma karmaas and their residual effects(vaasanais) 
are the three VirOdhis (enemies) for Moksham . 

Bhagavan gets angry over our many  trespasses to His Saasthram 
and is ready to punish us in number of ways:

(a) Creation of Prakruthi sambhandham and dulling our Jn~Anam 
(b) making one a slave of one's indhriyams (c) birth in the wombs of 
birds and animals , which are not bound by Bhagavath Saasthrams 
(d) GIve viparItha buddhi to join in naasthika mathams even while 
being born in human form (e) Tilting the mind of even aasthikAs 
towards immersion in worldly pleasures , which ultimately
cause pain (f) goading one to accumulate sins by chasing after 
transient pleasures (g) making one go round and round in repeated
cycles of births and deaths (h) goad one to perform worship for
insignificant devathAs , who themselves are under the influence of 
their karmaas (i) make them deluded by the alpa phalans granted by
these insignificant devathAs (j) interfere with the pursuit of yOgam
that is not focused on BhagavAn (k) grant kaivalya sukham , which
ultimately brings the jeevan back to the samsAric world .

Thus BhagavAn's anger can cause many kinds of obstacles to 
Moksham (Phala virOdhi) . The only way to overcome His nigraham 
( seeRRam) is to perform SaraNAgathy at His sacred feet .
