SrI:

Dear SrI VaradarAja BhakthAs :

Today , we will conclude the study of the
Paasurams (310-314) of the Desika Prabhandham  ,
dealing with the  Dhvaya Churukku .

310. "PrapadhyE " : Another level of Meaning
***********************************
aru maRai yAthum thuRavOm yena aRinthAr kavarum
karumamum JN~Anamum kAthalum kaNDu muyalahilOm
varuvathum innilayAi mayal uRRa yemakku uLathO
ThirumahaLAr piriyat-Thirumaal anRi naRRsaraNE (8)

(Meaning): With this paasuram , the meanings of the First
prtion of Dhvaya Manthram( SrIman NaarayaNa CharaNou
SaraNam prapadhyE ) is explained . Through the verb "PrapadhyE"
used as a KriyA Padham , the total insufficency of the practioner
to follow the difficult Bhakthi yOgam as an upAyam for
Moksham is referred to. The adhikAri's aakinchanyam
( insufficency to practise the difficult  Bhakthi yOgam ) is alluded to .
As a result of this insufficency ,we did not pursue the Bhakthi
yOgam as an upAyam . We are not going to be empowered to
pursue that upAyam in the future as well .Hence for those like us ,
who are bewildered about upAyam for MokshAnugraham ,
there is nothing left except performing easy to practise
SaraNAgathy at the sacred feet of SrIman NaarAyaNan.

We could not pursue the difficult path of Karma , Jn~ana and
Bhakthi yOgams  due to our incompetency to comprehend
the correct meanings of the VedAs and perform the KarmAs
ordained by the VedAs. We recognized that it is not only
impossible to practise such KarmAs now but it would be
equally impossible to dare to perform them in the future.
We got bewildered over our persisting inabilities . Then we recognized
that there is a simpler route  (viz)., the  easy to practise UpAyam
of SaraNAgathy to accomplish the same goals of Moksha Sukham
and practised it .

311. SrIman NaarAyaNa Sabdham: Utthara BhAgam
*****************************************
surungA akilam yelAm tuLangA amudhak-kadalAi
nerungAthu aNainthu udanE ninRa namm Thiru NaaraNanAr
irangAtha kAlangaL yellAm izhantha payan peRavOr
perungAthal uRRu ini mEl piriyAmai uhanthanamE (9)

(Meaning): The Utthara BhAgam of Dhvaya Manthram is:
"SrImathe NaarAyaNAya Nama: ". In this Paasuram , SrIman
NaarAyaNa sabdham is covered. The 304th Paasuram of
Desika Prabhandham ( 2nd Pasuram of  Dhvaya Churukku )
dealt with the Six meanings of SrI sabdham. Here , the focus is
on the derivative of the verb , "sri " and points out the compassionate
mind set of PirAtti , who is standing ready to accept our Kaimkaryams.

The Madhubh sabdham of "SrImathE " refers to PirAtti not leaving
the side of Her Lord during the Upaaya anushtAnam time and staying
as UpAyam just like Her Lord and being with Her divine consort
without seperation also during the Phalan granting dasai and accepting
our Kaimkaryam along with Her Lord.Her inseperability from Her Lord
at all times is indicated by the Madhubh sabdham .

The NaarAyaNa sabdham here also has many meanings and yet
it focuses here on the aspect of becoming  the Phalan (upEyam)
for the Prapannan .These phalans include : His being the Swamy for all;
being insatiable nectar through His limitless auspicious attributes ,
never-diminishing Iswaryams , dhivya mangaLa vigraham ; Swamithvam
through the choice of the word , "Thiru NaaraNAnAr".

Swamy  Desikan states that we desire the good fortune of
not being seperated ever form this Lord , who is the indweller
of all and who is blemishless so that we can be blessed with
all the Kaimkaryams that escaped us so far .

312. The Fourth case linked with NaarAyaNa Sabdham
********************************************
kadi soodu moonRum kazhal paNinthArkku kadinthidiavE
mudi soodi ninRa muhil vaNnanAr munn ulahaLantha
adi soodum nAmm aadharatthAl udutthu kalayum
padi ssodi anbhudanE paNi seyyap-paNinthanamE

(Meaning): The chathurthi vibhakthi ( the Fourth case)
linked to NaarAyaNa sabdham ( the Aaya sabdham)
stands for Kaimkaryam to SrIman NaarAyaNan as
His sEsha BhUthan (adimai) . Swamy Desikan says
that we are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to perform
Kaimakryam with Parama Bhakthi to the Lord , who
measured the worlds with three steps ( Thrivikramn) .
BhagavAn removs the three kinds of Taapams associated
with SamsAram ( aadyAthmikam, aadhi-boudikam and
aadhi-dhaivatham ) and sets us free from them to engage in
eternal Kaimkaryam to the Muktha Jeevans , who had
performed Prapatthi unto Him .

313. Nama: Sabdham : Uthtara BhAgam
********************************
tanathu anRu ivai yenat-thAnn anRu yena maRai sonna yelAm
yenathu yenRum yAnn yenRu yeNNuthalAl varum Eenam yelAm
tanathu anRi inRu nama yenRathE koNDu mARRuthalAl
TatanatanRi onRumilAt-tanit-Taathai sathirtthananE

(Meaning): Nama sabdham breaks in to two padhams:
" na " and " Ma:". One has to intrepret nama: sabdham as
not mine ( na mama) for all objects that generally are associated
with one. The removal of the ahankAra , MamakArams
associated with one's Svaroopam , GuNam and SarIram
is the meaning of Nama: sabdham.

The thought that an achEthana vasthu as oneself  is ahankAram.
To think that this object is mine is MamakAram . These ahankAra-
mamakArams plunge a jeevan in to the deep pit of SamsAram
and cause all sorrows. When one comprehends the true meaning of
"Nama: " sabdham , ahankAra-MamakArams are destroyed and
the Lord also gains .

314. The Ten Meanings of Dhvaya Manthram
***********************************
sErkkum ThirumahaL sErthtiyin mannuthal seerp-periyOrkku
yERkkum guNangaL ilakkAm vadivil iNai adigaL
pArkkum SaraN athil paRRuthal namm nilai nAmm peRum pERu
yERkkinRa yellaihaL yellAk-kaLai aRavu yeNNinamE

(Meaning): adiyEn performs the SaraNAgathy with five angams
with dhvaya manthram , whose full meanings are: (1) The Lord
is the Supreme Master of ALL (2) He is the insatiable nectar
for ALL (3) He is never ever seperated from His PirAtti even
for a second . Swamy  Desikan states here that the observance of
UpAyam banishes all  karmAs , which stood in the way of
Kaimkarya prApthi at all times and places for SrIman NaarAyaNan .
Swamy  Desikan states further that he as one incapable of practising
other upAyams has placed his aathmA ( the property of the Lord),
the burden of protection and the phalan arising from that protection
at the Thiruvadis of SrIman NaarAyaNan and gained the blessings of
Nithya Kaimkaryam to Him.

The words of this Paasuram and the corresponding Meanings are:

1. " sErkkum ThirumahaL" = Meaning of Sri Sabdham found in the Poorva BhAgam
    of Dhvaya Manhtram

2. " sErtthiyin mannuthal" = the meaning of " MAdhuph " section of
"SrImath".

3. " yErkkum guNankaL " = the meaning of NaarAyaNa sabdham

4. " iNayadikaL " = the meaning of "CharaNa " sabdham

5. " pArkkum SaraNN " = the meaning of "saraNa " sabdham .

6. "athil paRRuthal " = the meaning of prefix , "Pra" united with " Padh" .

7.  " Namm nilai " = the quality of SrIman NaarAyaNan as the Utthama
       Purushan and its meanings.

8. " Naamm peRum pERu " = the meaning of " SrIman NaarAyaNa "
      sabdham found in the utthara BhAgam of Dhvayam.

9. "yellaikaL " = the meaning of the fourth case (aaya) .

10 . "kaLaiyaRavu " = the meaning of the "nama:" sabdham .

Swamy  Desikan with His masterly skills as a poet and srEshta
AchAryan captured thus the deep meanings of the King of
manthrams(Dhvayam)  in one single paasuram adroitly.

Let us all recite the dhvaya Manthram that we have recieved
from our AchAryAs at all times and places and get uplifted !
