SrI:

Dear BhakthAs :

In this posting adiyEn would focus on Acharya RaamanujA's
summary of the FOUR AdhyAyAs ( Chapters) of FOUR PaadhAs 
each of which contain various adhikaraNAs ( the complete 
argument that covers one issue under discussion and 
the conclusions about that issue ). Prior to that , adiyEn will
cover Swamy  Desikan's summary of AchArya RaamAnujA's
sangraham of PaadhArTams .

This summary of the 16 paadhAs is known as "Saareeraka adhyAya 
PaadhArTa Sangraha: ". There are in total 16 PaadhAs with individual 
adhikaraNAs belonging to them .

SWAMY DESIKAN'S SUMMARY OF THE 16 PAADHAAS
******************************************************
Our Swamy Desikan ,  one of the authorities on Sri BhAshyam 
of AchArya RaamAnujA summarizes the content of these 16 Paadhams
in  the 19th slOkam of his AdhikaraNa SaarAvaLi :

Srashtaa dEhee Swanishta: Niravadhimahimaa apAstaBhAdha: srithAptha:
KhAthmAdhE: indhriyAdhE: uchitha-janana-kruthsamsruthO tantravAhee
nirdhOshatwAdhiramyO Bahujanapadham  svArha-karma-prasAdhya:
pApascchit Brahma-nADi-gathikruth Aadhivahan sAmyadha: cha athra vEdhya: 

The Lord ( Brahman , Sriman NaarAyaNan) is described in
the 16 PaadhAs of Sri BhAshyam as :

(1) SrashtA = The Creator of this Universe 

(2) dEhee = the Possessor of this world ( sentients and insentients)
     as His body (Sareeram) .

(3) Svanishta: = One who has only Himself for His support and 
     One who does not seek support from any other sources .   

(4) Niravadhimahimaa = resplendent with limitless Vaibhavam
     and pervading every thing in His Creation .

(5) apAstaBhAdha: =  One who can not be denied 

(6) SrithAbhdha: = Achyuthan , One who does not let down
     any one , who sought Him as refuge & Protection. He is 
     an unfailing , reliable friend to those aasritha janams 
    (aNDinOrai tavarAthu Kaappavan). 

(7) KhaathmAdhE: = One who is the creator of AakAsam et al
    ( Moola Prakruthi) and the Jeevans .

(8) IndhriyAdhE: = One who is the Creator of the senses and 
     the PrANAs as well . 

(9) Uchita-Jananakruth SamsruthO tantravaahee = One who is 
     the controller of the unceasing tides ( movements, gathi) of  
     SamsAraa .

(10) nirdhOshatvAth adhiramya: = Beautiful because He is untouched by
       any dhOshams ( defects, blemishes). An abode of perfection .

(11) Bahu-jana padham = One who is the object (goal) of many kinds of
      UpAsanAs( devotional worships)  prescribed by the Upanishads .

(12) SvArha-karma-prasAdhya: = One who is pleased with the performance of
       the prescribed duties for the Jeevans .

(13) Paapaschith = One who destroys all the sins of the PrapannAs 

(14) Brahma-nADi-gathi-kruth = One who leads the liberated Jeevans
       through the Brahma NaDi during the time of the falling of the body 
       ( dEhAvasAnam). 

(15) Aadhivahan = One who leads the Jeevan further through ArchirAdhi
       maargam ( the path of light ) with His AadhivAhAs ( assigned 
representatives) .

(16) Saamyadha: = One who grants the status of equality with Himself 
       for the Muktha Jeevans at Sri Vaikuntam to enjoy the BrahmAnandham
       with Him and the eternally liberated Jeevans ( nithya sooris) .

Swamy  Desikan in his own inimitable style states that Our Lord 
has to be understood in this manner (athra vEdhya: ) as saluted by
the 16 PaadhAs of Brahma SutrAs .        

Next , we will take up AchArya RaamAnuja's summary of the Four
AdhyAyaas with their 16 PaadhAs that formed the basis of 
summary in the 19th slOkam of his AdhikaraNa SaarAvaLi ; 
That posting on the summary will serve as the introduction 
before we bask under the warmth of the Dheepam of VedAntham 
lit for us by AchArya RaamAnujA .
