SrI:
 
Dear Swamy  Desika BhakthAs:
 
In this posting , adiyEn will cover 2 more Paasurams( 71-72) of
Desika Prabhandham , which are the 32nd and the 33rd Paasurams of
AdhikAra Sangraham.They deal with PrabhAva vyavasTA and
PrabhAva rakshA adhikArams of SrImath Rahasya Thraya Saaram. 

PrabhAvavyayasTAdhikAram 
***********************
(71) Propelled by His abundant grace , our Lord is waiting 
to bless the PrapannAs with KalyANa guNams identical 
to His own and is eager to transform these prapanna jeevans in to
Muktha jeevans. This most merciful Lord took KrishNAvathAram 
to bless us with the Charama slOkam for our upliftment . 
Sages like VyAsa comprehended fully the inner meanings of 
this Charama slOkam of the Lord . They will not hence agree to 
the dimuniiton of the Mahimai of Prapannan as established by 
the VedAnthams .Our AchAryAs instructed us on these truisms 
about the glories of Prapatthi .

The key words of this Paasuram are: " Mey aruL Vitthahan
urayin ahavaai aaraNa neethi neRi kulaithal uhavAr " ( Our Lord
with unfailing krupA  has blessed us with Charama slOkam ,
where He assures us with His unfailing promise. Our AchAryAs , 
who clearly understand the inner meanings of Charama slOkam of 
the Lord will not be party to any dimunition of the nyAya mArgam 
rooted in VedAs . 

(72) This Paasuram deals with the 26th chapter of 
SrImath Rahasya Thraya Saram: PrabhAva RakshAdhikAram.
This chapter is in defense of the glories of Prapatthi
without exaggerations or understements . .

(Meaning of the Paasuram): The VedAnthams , which are rooted 
in Sathyam (truth and righteousness) assert that the Lord's glories 
are limitless.Those who have performed Prapatthi at the Lord's 
feet may be born in lower jaathis/kulams. Inspite of birth in
a lower jAthi , the PrapannAs are blessed to have the Lord's 
undiminished love (abhimAnam) and qualify them totally for gaining 
the primary phalan of Moksham. Therefore , the glories of Prapatthi
can not be overstated. Our AchAryAs instruct us impartially on 
these TatthvArTams. 

The key words of this Paasuram are: " UtthamanAr kazhal paNivAr 
taNmai  kidakka taram aLavu " ( The glories of those , who perform 
SaraNAgathi at the sacred feet of PurushOtthaman is limitless 
independent of the fact that they are born in lower kulams 
or higher kulams) .

Swamy  Desikan establishes that Prapatthi has the power of
destroying prArabdha KarmAs. In contrast , Bhakthi yOgam 
does not have this power. Therefore , Prapatthi yOgam is
superior to Bhakthi yOgam. In addition to destroying sins committed 
before Prapatthi and accumulated  in the post-prapatthi period ,
Prapatthi  has the power to grant Moksham for those who long for it 
ardentlly to engage in the nithya kaimkaryam to the Lord at
His Supreme abode. Thus Prapatthi is superior to all other 
means for gaining mOksham.
