SrI:
   
 Dear BhakthAs of Swamy  Desikan :
   
Today we will study the 3 paasurams of Paramatha Bhangam
that  are  refutations of the ineffective UpAyams for Moksham 
recommended  by the other Mathams and  the celebration of 
the Svaroopam (essential nature ) and the glory of the UpAyam 
according to VisishtAdhvaitha Darsanam as the most effective
and never failing among all of the UpAyams advanced by
the other Mathams..

(198) Our Lord showing His sacred feet as the UpAyam 
********************************************
NamakkAr ThuNai yena Naam yenRu aruL tarum NaaraNAr 
umakku aaRu ivai yenRu adiyiNai kAtta uNarnthu adayum 
yeamkku Ohr baram ini illAthu  iruvinai mARRuthalil
TamakkE baram yenRu ThAmm muyalaum taram sARRuvamE 

(Meaning ): The suffering chEthanams got tossed about wildly 
in the horrors of SamsAram and searched out for some one
to save them .They got worried about who is going to come to
their help .SrIman NaarAyaNa responded and assured them 
that He is there to save them and therefore they do not need to 
worry anymore. The Lord pointed out His sacred feet as
the means for the protection of the chEthanams . After we 
(chEthanams) surrendered at those redeeming feet of the Lord , 
He accepted the total responsibility to destroy all the karmAs of 
us , the ChEthanms , and stood in the place of other upAyams 
(means for Moksham) and blessed us with the fruits of Moksham . 
In this adhikAram , We (Swamy Desikan) will salute the glories of 
the Lord , who peforms this MahOpakAram for the PrapannAs.

 (199) The sacred feet of the Lord ALONE  is UpAyam
*********************************************
palatthil oru thuvakku aRRa padhavi kAttip-
  pall uyirum tadumARap-paNNuhinRa

  MaamaNiaayAy malar mAthar oLIyAm anann-
nalatthil Ohr niharillA NaaTan paadha
  nalvazhiyAm alvazhakku aar nadutthuvArE ?

(Meaning ): Those who advocate the doctrines of  Para Mathams 
are like the harm-causing Kali PurushAs.They preach to the gullible 
people of the world the svaroopam of UpAyam for Moksham in
a distorted fashion to  make sure that the followers will not
gain the Phalan from adopting these means (upAyam ) . Their
debates are as horrible to listen to like the awful bleating of an ass.
We (Swamy  Desikan ) revealed in this chapter the upadEsams of 
our AchAryAs gifted with the eye of true knowledge about 
the true and fulfilling upAyams for Moksham. The upadEsams 
of our AchAryAs , who refuted the viparItha upAyams of 
Para Matha Vaadhins is about the truly effective upAyam
for gaining Moksham .That UpAyam is the sacred feet of 
our Lord ; He is steeped in bliss and is characterized by 
the mole of SrIvathsam adorning His chest and is united always
with His Piraatti residing on this very same broad chest .
On this matter of the Lord being the surest upAyam (means)
for Moksham , there is no debate .  
 
(200) The comfort and the Glories of  of Prapatthi 
**************************************
yellArkkum yeLithAna yERRatthAlum
   ini  uraikkai  mihayAna irakkatthAlum
soll aarkkum aLavAlum amaithalAlum 
  thuNivu arithAyt-thuNai thuRakkum sukaratthAlum

  KaNNan urai mudi soodi muditthalAlum
nallArkkum theeyArkkum ithuvE nanRA
  NaaraNaRkkE adaikkalamAi naNUhuveerE 

(Meaning): Prapatthi is easy to perform by all chEthanams.
Just like BrahmAsthram can  not co-exist with other inferior 
asthrams , Prapatthi can not co-exist with other upAyams 
intended for gaining MOksha Siddhi. Lord's mercy makes
sure that one does not need to perform Prapatthi more than
once to gain Moksham. Even if one does not have a clear
understanding of the different angams of Prapatthi , the simple
repetition of the Prapatthi Vaakyams of one's AchAryan 
yields the Phalans of Moksham. Even if it is difficult to
realize the MahA VisvAsam ( an important angam of 
Prapatthi) , Prapatthi  is not comparable in difficulties to 
Bhakthi Yogam that requires the mastery of Karam and 
Jn~Ana Yogams . Even for those without any special
Jn~Anam , the Prapatthi performed by AchAryAs for them 
is sufficent to gain the fruits of Moksham. Further , in the charama
slOkam of SrImad GithA  , Prapatthi alone is extolled as 
the surest and simplest yOgam for any one , be they sinners or 
virtuous ones. May You all know the supermacy of Prapatthi 
over Bhakthi Yogam and perform SaraNAgathy at the sacred
feet of the Lord and gain Moksha Siddhi !
