SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, After mentioning the key NithyasUris, now Alavandhar mentions about the rest at srivaikuntam. hathaakilaklesa Malai: svabhAvatha: tvadaanukoolyaika rasaisthavOchithai: gruheethatatttat parichaara saadhanair nishEvyamaaNam sachivair yathOchitham [43] You are the Lord who is worshipped and served by the Ones- who are free from all samsaaric affliction; never bound by karma; never caught by ego, or any other imperfections; whose only duty and pleasure is to serve You (the Lord) uninterruptedly; who are eternal ones [at srivaikuntam]; who on their own nature, [with the blessings of the Lord and due to his sankalpam] also possess expanded knowledge (dharma bhUtha jnAnam in expanded form in full glories); who is ever devoted to You at all times; who match You in form; and who wait at Your feet waiting for Your agnyA to serve You- while enjoying You. In yoga saasthrAs, the five are considered as klEsam.. namely, ajnAnam, ahankaram, desire, enmity and anger, etc.. Nithyasuris do not have them. Even mukthas [jeevans who have been blessed to perform bhakti or prapatti and have attained mOksham by the grace of Sriman Narayanan and attained Paramapadham] do not have; But, mukthas eternally are never like that; as they were once in our world and were caught by the samsaaric ocean and were bound by karmas, unlike Nithyars. They can be thus called equal and matching to You in all aspects except they can not create or grant mOksham. Rest of having same roopam, same lokam, same place and same glories of expanded dharma bhUtha jnAnam are all equal to You. They always see enjoying You- sadhA paSyanthi.. Though everyone can serve You any kaimkaryam, they do not quarrel and fight for the same kaimkaryam. [That is only for us?º ] Thus, You enjoy being served by each one the crores of NithuasUris serving unique kaimkaryam for You- only You can do that. You consider them as equal to You and consider them as friends. He is such a bhaktha vathsalan! He, during raama avathAram introduces SitA PiraaTTi and Lakshamanan to Guhan as here is Your friend and Your brother¡K what a sowseelyam! Let us enjoy that pAsuram of Thirumangai mannan.. Ezhai Ethalan keezhmagan ennaa thirangi maRRavaR kinnaruL suranthu 'maazhai maanmada nOkkiyun thOzhi; umbi embi'en Rozhinthilai, uganthu 'thOzha Nneeyenak kingozhi' enRa soRkaL vanthadi yEnmanath thirunthida, aazhi vaNNa!nin adiyiNai yadainthEn aNipo zhilthiru varangaththam maanE (5.8.1) A great pAsuram! yEzhai- yEthalan- Keezhmagan- AzhwAr refers to Guhan.. Lord Ramachandran- hugged Guhan and said, "ninnudan aivarAnOm- with you, we have become five brothers.. What a quality! Sowseelyam! (ability to mix freely with those much below one's status and level) Guhan- illiterate and immersed in sensual pursuits; always kills (being a hunter); born in low caste; Still, You did not look down at him; You showered Your grace on him; and also said to him, further, -This darting, deer eyed Seetha is your friend; this younger brother is your brother too- Not just that. He added that You are my friend; the fifth brother (in our family). (Kamban says "Guganodum ivaranOm.) Such a sowseelyam ! These words of Yours are ringing in my heart always. Hence I have a hope too. Oh merciful Lord! Sri Ranga swAmI! AdiyEn surrenders at Your Feet! He is Sarvagnan- Omniscient; One who knows everything and about every being. He knows all our thoughts (however bad or wrong they are! or how much ever we have tried to hide from others!) But He does not dislike us for that. He is waiting for us to come to His Lotus Feet. Once we surrender to Him: He (despite knowing all our follies and deceits /cunning thoughts)showers His affection. He does not look at our offering (the quantum of that). He is ParipooraNan; He does not need anything from us; Still, for a smallest step from us, He gets pleased and offers Himself to us. He is Sarva shakthan- Hence, He can grant what He pledges that He will do. His attributes and kalyANa guNAs are: Natural, unlimited, GnAnam, Bhalam, Aishwaryam, Veeryam, sakthi, tEjas, such six qualities, sowseelyam(quality of mixing with the lower and inferior ones); vAtsalyam; mArdhavam (unable to bear the separation from bhAgavathAs); Arjavam(nErmai- honest); sowhArtham (thinking of good to others at all times); sAmyam (does not see the level); kAruNyam (pitying those who suffer); mAdhuryam (being good and sweet to enemies, too); ghAmbeeryam; AudhAryam(being "a kodai vaLLal"- Grants Himself to those who surrender to His Lotus Feet); chAturyam( capability to change enemies into friends); sthairyam(determination), dhairyam (being brave); sowryam( can fight alone in a battle); parAkramam(ability to win effortlessly); sathyakAmam(able to get what He desires); sathyasankalpam(able to achieve what he thinks and attempts); kruthagnathai (grateful; not forgetting anyone's good deeds, however smallest they may be like our small saraNAgathy); Such qualities are flooded in our Lord! Swamy Desikan says (in adaikkalappatthu): umadhadigaL adaiginRen enRu oru kaal uraitthavarai.... thamadhu anaitthu avar thamakku vazhangiyum thaam miga viLangum.. Once one surrenders to His Feet, saying, "I have come to Your Feet.", He grants all His possessions to the prapannan.The Lord is resplendent at the sight of the prapannan and blesses him to enjoy all of His wealth (Isvaryam) and looks at the prapannA with great compassion and reveals through the gesture of His Hand (as abhayam)that his one-time praaptthi alone is sufficient to enjoy all of that bliss. Naturally AzhwArs and Acharyas have fallen for the Lord's such sowseelyam and sowlabhya kalyANa guNAs. Please forgive me for my digression. I could not control enjoying His vaathsalyam.
