The Significance of ânArAyaNanAyaâ   
--- 
        SwAmi Desikan now gives the significance of âAyaâ, the fourth case 
suffix of the name ânArAyaNaâ, in a Tamil verse: 
 âiru vilangku kazhitthiDarAm uDalam thannil
        ilangku naDu nADiyinAl emmai vAngi
 oru vilangku neRiyallA vaziyAl mannum
        uyar vAnilERRi uyir nilaiyum thanthu
 peruvilangkAm aruL thannAl thannaDikkeezhp
        piriyAtha amararuDan piNaitthuth thannAr
 uruvil angku misaivikkum umbar bOgam
        ukanthu tharum thirumAlai ukanthOm nAmE.â 
Meaning:
âiru vilangku kazhitthâ â getting rid of the two fetters of good and 
sinful deeds;
âiDarAm uDalam thannilâ --- in this body which is a stumbling block for 
mukti; 
âilangku naDu nADiyinAlâ --- through the middle nerve known as 
âbrahma-nADiâ;
âemmai vAngiâ --- picking us â jIvAtamas  (from the body); 
âoru vilangku neRiyallA vaziyAlâ ---  through the route (of 
arcchirAdi-mArgam) that does not lead to rebirth in this samsAra (material) 
world;
âmannum uyar vAnilERRiâ --- lifted us up into the eternally existing the 
highest abode, the Paramapadam;
 âuyir nilaiyum thanthuâ --- restoring the auspicious qualities that had 
been hidden due to our connection with the karmas;
âperuvilangkAm aruL thannAlâ --- by His grace that strongly binds the 
jIvAtma;
âthannaDikkeezhp piriyAtha amararuDan piNaitthuâ --- joining us with the 
ever-free jIvas (nitya sooris) who are rendering service continuously without a 
break (even for a moment) under His feet;
âangkuâ --- there, in the Paramapadam;
 âthannAr uruvilâ --- in His perfect nature; 
âmisaivikkum umbar bOgamâ --- providing the same experience as of the nitya 
sooris; 
âukanthu tharum thirumAlaiâ --- attaining the Lord, the Consort of SrI, Who 
happily provides us the bliss;  
âukanthOm nAmEâ --- we become happy.
Summary Meaning: 
        Lord SrIman nArAyaNa destroys the twin karmas of good and evil of the 
jIva who has adopted the means of mukti; thereafter, He releases the jIva from 
his body which had been a stumbling block to his liberation and escorts him 
through the central nerve, known as the brahma-nADi and rushes him to His Abode 
(Paramapadam) through the path of arcchirAdi; the Lord also restores the 
jIvaâs divine qualities which had been hidden because of his contact with the 
good and bad karmas; He takes the mukta jIva by His graceful but firm clutch 
that does not allow the jIva to slip away; places him in the company of 
nitya-sooris who are rendering continuous service at His feet in the 
Paramapadam; and enables him to experience the total bliss of enjoying Him. 
This is the crux of the suffix âAyaâ attached to the Lordâs name, 
ânArAyaNaâ in the Thirumanthiram.
