SrI:
 
Dear BhakthAs of  Lord  PaarTasArathy :
 
Today , we  will  study the remaining two Phala sruthi
Pasasurams of Swamy Desikan's Prabhandham of
GeethArTa Sangraham. 

Twentieth Paasuram : Fruits of Reciting GeethArTa Sangraham
******************************************************************
vann paRRu aRukkum marunthu yenRu Maayavan thAnn uraittha
inbhak-kadal amuthAm yena ninRaviggeethai thanai
anbarkku uraippavar kEtbavar aadharitthu Othumavar 
tunbak-KadaluL tuLanguhai neekkit--tulungavarE

(meaning): Geethai has the glory of being the medicine 
for releasing the chEthanams from the disease of 
SamsAram .This has been stated by our Lord Himself.

Geethai is like a vast ocean containing sakala sookshama
Dharmams ( entire array of subtle dharmams and codes of
conduct ) inside it . 

Geethai is a veritable ocean of nectar for its students . 
It generates paramAnandham in them .Those who are able 
to teach the GeethA slOkams to sishyAs as well as 
the students who benefit from such studies with serious
resolve and faith will be freed from the bonds of SamsAram 
and shine with divine effulgence .

The vast MahA BhAratham is compared here to the limitless
ocean and Geethai as the nectar that arose out of that 
deep ocean ( inbak-kadal amuthAm ninRa Geetha) .

AchAryAs are instrcuted to teach this secret GeethA 
Saasthram to the most deserving sishyAs ( anbharkku
Uraippavar) . The sishyAs who learn it through Guru Kulam
and KaalakshEpam routes are referred to as "kEtpavar".
Those sishyAs dear to AchAryAs , who master it through
respectful adhyayanam and reflect on their deep meanings 
are saluted as " aadharitthu Odhumavar " . The end result of
such study and contemplation assures them freedom from 
the cycles of births and deaths (Moksham)  through 
the upAyam of SaraNAgathy at the sacred feet of the Lord .
They shine as splendourous stars in the firmament of 
SrI Vaikuntam amidst fellow MukthAs ( liberated Jeevans)
and Nithyasooris . 

Twenty First & Final Paasuram: Poet's Mudhrai on Prabhandham
******************************************************************* 
theethaRRa naRgguNap--pARRkkadal thAmaraic-chemmalar mEl
mAthuRRa MArvan maruva inngeethayin vaNN poruLaik--
kOthaRRa nAnnmaRai mouLiyin Aasiriyan kuRitthAn
kAdal thuNivu udayAr kaRkkum vaNNam karutthudanE 

(Meaning): AdiyEn, VedAnthAcharyan housed in this Prabhandham
the Taathparyam ( essential meaning ) of the Lord's Geethai in 
a manner that would both please the Lord's divine mind ( ThiruvuLLam)
and enable the BhakthAs and PrapannAs to learn these meanings 
with SraddhA . 

Swamy  Desikan salutes the Lord , who blessed us with 
the GeethOpadEsam as the very Lord who is resting on
AadhisEshan at the Milky ocean with the lotus lady of 
auspicious attributes .That KsheerAbdhi NaaTan incarnated as 
Lord KrishNA , the dear friend and charioteer of Arjuna  and
blessed us with the profound GeethOpanishad.

Swamy Desikan informs us that the purpose of the creation
of the Prabhandham--dealing with the quintessence of 
Bhagavath Geethai following the footsteps of Swamy
AlavanthAr-- was to help PrapannAs  learn SaraNAgathy
Saasthram with its major angam of MahA viswAsam clearly . 

Swamy Desikan "signs off" as the composer of this sacred
Prabahndham by identifying himself as " NaalmaRai mouLi 
Aaasiriyan " ( the AchAryan of the four VedAnthams/Upanishads
associated with the four VedAs ) .
