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?
".
