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 kalitthiraLin kadum kazhuthaik-katthu mARRik- kaNNudayAr kaNDuraittha kathiyac-chonnOm valatthu ilahum maRu onRAl maRu onRillA 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 kallArkkum kaRRAr soll kavarthalAlum 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 !
