102) Mukundaya SrI VenkatEsaaya
nama:
Salutations to Sri VenkatEsa, who
confers Moksha on those who seek it ardently
While Srinivasa blesses us with
all the mundane favours that we seek from Him, it is for granting the ultimate
of all favours, viz., Liberation from this Samsara, that He is renowned.
In fact, it is only He who is
capable of emancipating us; other deities, however powerful they are
touted to be, being totally impotent in this respect. If it is Moksham
that you want, it is to Sri VenkatEsa you have to seek it from, says the
Scripture--MOksha Daayaka Mukundhan .
He not only blesses us with
liberation, but also shows us the way therefor, by pointing to His tiruvadi
and telling us that one who seeks refuge in them would automatically be free
of the mundane shackles.
The sort of Moksham or LIberation
that the Lord confers is not only freedom from the travails of Samsaara, but
includes immeasurable bliss equal to that He Himself enjoys in His eternal
abode.Incorporating all this, the Sahasranama Nirukti
sloka points out :
"tai: praartthita: svayam
muktim Mukunda: syaat dadaati ya:"
It is a testimony to the Lord's
generosity that He not only frees us from our crippling mortals coils, but
also blesses us with Aanandam which is unlimited.
The glory of this Emperuman is
chronicled in Sri Kulasekhara Azhwar's "Mukunda Maalaa", an
unwilting garland of verses to the provider of this ultimate
benefit.
