SrI:
 
Second Prabhandham : AdhikAra Sangaraham
*******************************************************
The Desika SrI Sookthi revered as SrImath Rahasya Thraya Saaram
is one of the most important one in our KaalakshEpam tradition. This Grantham
has 32 chapters and was blessed to us in the MaNipravALa ( Sanskritized
Tamil) format . The meanings of the individual chapters of SrImath Rahasya
Thraya Saaram have been summarized in the Desika Prabhandham by 
Swamy  Desikan in Tamil in this Prabhandham revered as AdhikAra 
Sangraham.
 
There are 56 paasurams in AdhikAra Sangraham(40-95).
 
The TEN topics covered by Swamy  Desikan in this Prabhandham are:
 
(1) The Ten AzhwArs (2) Madhura Kavi Vaibhavam (3) Eight AchAryAs
(4) the importance of having firm Bhakthi to our revered AchAryAs 
(5) The immeasurable help given to our SiddhAntham by AchAryAs like
EmperumAnAr , AaLavanthAr and  Naatha Muni (6) Brief meaning of each
of the 32 chapters of SrImath Rahasya Thraya Saaram (7) Salutations  through
one Paasuram for the EmperumAns of SrIrangam(Koil) , Thirumalai (VeRpu)
and Kaanchipuram/ PerumAL Koil , (8) Special tribute to the Mudhal
AzhwArs , who lit the lamp of of Jn~Anam with their three Prabhandhams 
to create this Prabhandham of AdhikAra Sangraham (9) The unique glories of
Lord RanganAthA's sacred feet , which can not be forsaken by anyone
and (10) the tribute to the AdhikAris of this Prabhandham.  
 
Clear comprehension of Veda Manthrams with the help of AzhwArs' Prabhandhams
*************************************************************************************************
(40) Poygai AzhwAr, BhUthatthAzhwAr , Pey AzhwAr , Swamy NammAzhwAr,
PeriyAzhwAr , KulasEkhara AzhwAr , ThiruppANAzhwAr , ThoNDardippodi
AzhwAr , Thirumazhisai AzhwAr and Thirumangai AzhwAr are the ten AzhwArs
who enjoyed the KalyANa guNams of the Lord and blessed us with Dhivya
Prabhandhams as a result of those extraordinary anubhavams. We learnt
from our AchAryAs these sacred Prabhandhams of AzhwArs with meanings
through the route of adhyayanam and the end result for us has been
the blessing of comprehending the meanings of Veda manthrams that
were not clearly understood until then.
 
The key passage is " IvargaL (AzhwArgal) mahizhnthu paadum Tamizh
mAlaikaL Naam teLiya Odhi , teLiyAtha maRai nilangaL teLihinROm".
 
The Path shown by Madhura Kavi is the blessed path
**************************************************************
(41) The Jeevans have ten kinds of relationships with their Lord :
 
(1) The enjoyment of the Lord , who is the embodiment of bliss
(2) Seeking Him as the goal for total Self-surrender (3) Accepting Him
as the ultimate fruit appropriate for their Svaroopam (4) Establishing
many types of personal relationships with the Lord (5)  Sundering
attachment to inaapropriate things identified by SaasthrAs with
His help (6) Development of attachment to Him (7) destruction of
the Sins (8) Becoming the object of the Lord's DayA (9) Growth of
Tatthva Jn~Anam as a  result of His anugraham and growing attachment
to Him (10) Gaining the boon of becoming like Him with His sankalpam.
 
Madhura Kavi AzhwAr was present on this earth, when Lord KrishNa
had His Vibhava avathAram. Thus , He was a contemproary of Lord
KrishNa.Yet, Madhura Kavi did not engage His mind in the Lord
but chose Swamy NammAzhwAr as his Lord and developed the ten
kinds of relationships referred to above. He expressed his commitment
to Swamy  NammAzhwAr over Lord KrishNa as His AchAryan and blessed
us with the dhivya Prabhandham of "KaNNInuNN SirutthAmpu" that
deals with the ten kinds of relationships with his AchAryan. The noble
path shown by Madhura Kavi ( seeking surrender at the sacred feet of
one's AchAryan as PurushArTam) is the best and most effective path
to chase away the alpa sukhams ( transient and insignificant sukhams)
for the courageous aasthikAs .
 
The Key passage here is " Thunbhu aRRa Madhura Kavi thOnRak-kAttum
tholl vazhiyE thuNivArkatkku nall vazhikaL".
 
The Tribute to the AchArya Paramparai (GhOshti Vandhanam)
*************************************************************************
Since AchArya Paramparai branches out into different paths
after Bhagavath RaamAnujA , Swamy Desikan salutes the lineage
of AchAryAs common to all.
 
(42) My AchAryans performed sadhupadEsams (beneficial instructions)
and pointed out the most important truth that my aathmA is the eternal
servant to the Lord . I salute my immediate AchAryan and his AchArya
Paramparai /lineage starting with BhAshyakArar and ascending from then on to
Periya Nampi , AlavanthAr , MaNakkAl Nampi , UyyakkoNDAr , Naatha Muni,
NammAzhwAr, VishvaksEnar , Periya PirAtti and ending up with
SrIman NaarAyaNan as ParamAchAryan.adiyEn performs SaraNAgathi
through the AchArya Paramaprai to SrIman NaarAyaNan. 
 
The Key passage of this Paasuram is: " Yenn uyir tanthu aLitthavarai
SaraNam pukki --ivarai munnittu EmperumAn ThiruvadigaL adaihinREnE". 
 
The devotion to the SrI Sookthis of BhaashyakArar
*****************************************
After saluting all the AchAryAs in the Guru Paramparai
starting with his own AchAryan and ending up with the Lord
as the ParamAchAryan for all, Swamy  Desikan acknowledges
the special upakArams of SrI BhAshyakArar , AlavanthAr and
Naatha MunigaL with one passurams to each of the three .
 
(43) Sri BhAshyakArar destroyed the noisy debates of Haithukars
( who ignore core pramANams like VedAs and demand the reasons/
hEthus for whatever we comment about) , who intrepret VedAnthAms
as their wandering minds direct .To them (hithukars) , SrI BhAshyakArar
was like the mighty elephant in rut that toppled the banana trees .
We who are deeply rooted in AchArya RaamAnujA's SrI Sookthis
will not consider even by mind any act that are prohibited by
BhagavAn's SaasthrAs .
 
The key passage in this Paasuram is: " IrAmAnusa Muni inn urai sEr
seer aNi sinthayinOm init-theevinai sinthiyOm".
 
The Help (upakAram) of Swamy  AaLavanthAr
*****************************************************
(44) For aeons , we struggled and suffered in this karma bhUmi as
nithya samsAris. In this birth, however , we are blessed to benefit from
the essence of upadEsams of the One who incarnated to rule
us ( aaLa vanthAr) and held firmly in our mind the cardinal tenets
taught by him like the Jeevan is different from the body and the other
Tatthvams.We became the daasAs to Swamy  AaLavanthAr.
From here on , we shall never engage in the studies of Para Mathams
that teach inappropriate subjects in the context of our ujjeevanam. 
 
The key passage here is: " AaLavanthAr adiyOm ini alvazhakkup-
padiyOm".
 
The Pride and joy in worshipping Swamy NaathamunikaL
******************************************************************
(45) The two devout nephews ( KeezhayatthAzhwAn and MElahayathAzhwAn)
were taught by their uncle , Swamy Naathamuni , the  gaandharva vEdam
( Naadham and TaaLam) for singing dhivya prabhandhams with the appropriate
beats.Swamy  Naathamuni also blessed his other disciple with instruction on
the path of yOgam (yOga Maargam) for the benefit of the world. We are
redeemed by meditating daily on the sacred feet of Swamy Naathamuni of 
illustrious fame  for our spiritual upliftment. For us who are blessed with
this good fortune of links to Swamy Naathamuni , there is no one who can
equal us .
 
The key passage of this paasuram is: " Naathamuni kazhalE naaLum 
ThozhuthezhuvOm---naanilatthu namakku nihar aarr? ".
