SrI:

Dear SrI VaradarAja BhakthAs :

Today , we will conclude the study of the remaining
Paasurams of  Thirumanthira Churukku .

 298. The Meaning behind Nama: Sabdham
 *********************************
 tanathu ivai anaitthumAhat-ThAnn iRayAhum Maayan
     unathu yenum uNartthi thArAthu umakku neer urimai uRReer
 yenathu ivai anaitthum yAnE iRai yenum iraNDum theera
 mana yenum iraNDil mARA vallvinai mARRuveerE

(Meaning): Oh ChEthanams! All the vasthus (chEthanam
and achEthanam ) are His unquestionale Isvaryam ( sEsham).
He is the Only Supreme Master without equal or superior. You must
accept and reflect that all vasthus are sEsham to Him and Him
alone. Instead of doing that , you are deluded to think that You
are independent of Him to control your vyApArams and get destroyed.
There is however an UpAyam for you from this destructive approach.
There is a second padham in the AshtAkshara Manthram revered as
"Nama: ". It is a small padham with two letters: "Na and Ma: ".
MakAram in the nama: sabdham is for the JeevAthmA. Na: means not
for . If you add the word Kinchith , then the sentence " Na Ma: kinchith "
results. Kinchith stands here for poruL ( owned wealth of any kind or
ownership/rulership )  .This means that no vasthu ( PoruL ) is sesham
to JeevAthmA . Reflection on this matter and gaining this true knowledge
would suggest that the sense of ownership by JeevAthmA or being
a Master of things including its destiny will be destroyed . The idea of
being a Svatantran will leave the Jeevan as it gains this Seshathva Jn~Anam
.

 299. The Meaning of Nara: sabdham of NaarAyaNa naamam
 ************************************************
 azhivu ilaa uyirhatkku yellAm arukkanAi azhiyA Isan
     vazhiyilA vazhi vilakkum mathi yezha Maaya Moorthy
 vazhuvilAtu ivai anaitthum vayiRRil vaitthu umizhntha Maalai
    nazhuvilA Naara-vAkkil  naadi neer aNuhuveerE

(meaning) : Jeevans are eternal ( nithyAs) . Our Lord protects
them from  enterign in to destructive ways through the anugraham of
true Jn~Anam .Our Lord is also eternal. He has the most radiant
ThirumEni ( Body). He protects the entire world by keeping them safely
in a small portion of His stomach durign PraLaya Kaalam and releases
them at the time of Srushti.May You all reflect on the Lord of such
Vaibhavams by approaching Him throught he "Naara " sabdham and
attain Him .

The first line of this Paasuram is derived from one of the two letters of
Naara sabdham made up of Na and ra . Ra is derived from the root of
"ree" , which means the one that is destroyed . The letter "na " means
"not". Together Na and Ra means the objects that are eternal ( not destroyed
over time) . Both Iswaran and Jeevan are eternal . This is what is hinted by
"Naara " sabdham.

Another intrepretation is that " Naara " is derived from the root "nru",
which means that One who guides all in auspicous ways. The second line of
the Paasuram refers to this tathtvam behind "Naara " sabdham.

That which belongs to Naran are Naarams. Naara padham then denotes
Bhagavaan's ThirumEni and  Auspicious attributes . The word Maaya Moorthy
in the second line refers to these tatthvams.

NaarAs are those which are born from Naran. Hence Iswaran is recognized
as the root cause for all vasthus from this intrepretation. Third line of
this Paasuram covers this meaning.

The fourth line instructs us to seek and attain the Lord , the Jagath
Srushti Kaaranan , NaarAyaNan , who is not seperated ever from
Naara Sabdham.

 300. The Meaning of Ayana Sabdham of NaarAYaNa Naamam
 **************************************************
 vayanam onRu aRinthu uraippAr  vaNN kazhal vaNanga veLhi
     nayanam uLL inRi nALum naLL iruL naNNi ninReer !
 ayanam-ivvanaitthukkum   ThAnn avai tanakku ayanam yenna
     payanumAyp- PathiyyumAna  Paramanip-PaNImineerE !

(Meaning): Oh ignorant chEthanams , who shy away from the upadEsams
of SadAchAryans known for true intrepretation of the meanings of Veda
Manthrams ! You lose your eyes of Jn~Anam through your avoidance of
SadAchAryAs . You fail thereby to know that the Lord is the pervasive
indweller in all the created vasthus including yourselves and get immersed
in the darkness of samsAric night and suffer . Oh ChEthanams ! Please
make an effort to comprehend the meanings of the word , "NaarAyaNa"
formed from the combination of the two padhams : " Naara Padham "
and "ayana padham ". Please comprehend the meaning of "NaarAyaNa "
padham  , perform SaraNAgathi and achieve the PurushArTam of Moksham .

NaarAyaNa Padham is intrepreted either as " NaarANAm ayanam " ( Tathpurusha
SamAsam) or as " NaarA: ayanam yasya" ( BahUvreehi SamAsam) .

The first line of SamAsam intrepretation states that He is the ayanam for
the NaarAs . Ayanam means UpAyam/Means , Phalan/goal and fruit
and AadhAram /Basis or substrata. The assembly of Narans ( Naaram)
is trhe assembly of JeevAthmAs. In this view , EmperumAn is the means
and goal for the Jeeva samUham . He becomes the aadhAram for all
that were born from Him .

The second line of SamAsam intrepretation (NaarA; ayanam yasya)
means that He has Naarams as His ayanam.The "ayana" padham
denotes here the objects for His anupravEsam ( entry as the indweller
or antharyAmi Brahmam). This leads to the intrepretation of the Lord
as the One , who has the chEthanams and achEthanams as the objects
for His indwelling .

Further , the padham , ayanam  means place of residence . In this context ,
the first samAsam points out that He is the place of residence for
ChEthanams and achEthanams( avaihaLukku iruppidamAnavan) .
The second SamAsam suggests that He is the NaarAyaNan ,
who has the chEthanams and achEthanams as His place of residence.

 301. The Meaning of the fourth case associated with the NaarAyaNa Sabdham
 ************************************************************
 uyarnthavar uNarnthavaRRAl uvantha kuRREval yellAm
    ayarnthu neer iympulankatkku adimai pooNDu alarmarhinReer
 payanthu ivai anaitthum yEnthum ParamanAr nAmam onRil
    viyantha pEradimai thORRum vERRumai mEvuveerE

(Meaning): Oh ChEthanams! AchAryAs have accepted Bhagavath Kaimkaryam
as the Parama PurushArTam in the manner in which the sges of the yore have
determined and established. All of You have the rights( urimai) to perform
these Kaimakryams . As a result of your bad karmAs , you have forgotten
your rights and are chasing the transient indhriya sukhams and as a result
get drowned in the ocean of SamsAram. I would like to point out an upAyam
to overcome your problems. There is the fourth case associated with
the NaarAyaNa Padham of the sacred AshtAksharam .This underlines
Bhagavath Kaimkaryam. Therefore please connect to this meaning and
immerse yourself in Bhagavath Kaimkaryam to gain Moksha Sukham .

302. The above meanings treasured as Rahasyams for the discriminating few
 *********************************************************
 YeNDisai paravum seerOr  yengaLukku eentha yettil
     uNDavARu uraippAr pOla onpathu poruL uraitthOm
 maNDu nAnn MaRayOr kaakkum Maa nidhi ivai anaitthum
     KaNDavar viLLAr viLLak-karuthuvAr KaaNNkilArE

Our SadAchAryA's glories are celebrated all over the world .
Such great AchAryAs with their limitless compassion for us
have instructed us on the deep meanings of AshtAksharam.
We have followed their instructions and have benefiited
immensely from those precious meanings for our upliftment .
We have shared those meanings , which have come to us as
kula dhanams through the above nine paasurams of this
Prabhandham . These treasures of meanings saved for us
by SadAchAryAs will not be given away indiscriminately
to the unfit ones . Those who intrepret these deep meanings
in a disrespectful and incompetent manner can NOT be viewed
as knowledgable people about this rahasyam .
