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 . ThiruManthira Churukku Prabhandham completed.
