Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's
Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
52. sEshathvam dhukka rUpamAgavanRO nAttil kANgiRathennil:

53. antha niyamam illai; ugantha vishayaththukku sEshamAy
irukkumiruppu sugamAgak kANkaiyAlE.

Meaning:
52. In this world, don't we see that being enslaved to 
someone is a matter of sorrow?

53. It is not a rule that being enslaved is always a matter
of unhappiness. In desired situations, it is seen that 
being enslaved brings about happiness.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
Do we not see that being enslaved to another person is a
matter of unhappiness? Therefore, it is something that is 
to be rejected. So, how is it that one can say that 
something that is to be rejected is the thing to desire.

There is no rule that says all enslavement is a matter of
unhappiness. It is seen in this world that in desired cases,
being enslaved is matter of great happiness. Dushyanta 
tells Sakunthala "samvAhayAmi charaNAvuta padmatAmrau".
Men tell women in this world "Would you like me to take
your feet in my lap and gently massage them? Would you like
me to fan a gentle breeze toward you?", etc. Thus, as it is
seen that in longed for situations being enslaved is being
happy, it is not acceptable as a rule to say "sEshatvam
dhukkarUpam".
