tattvam
Prabhavam TamEva sEvE
virakta SaamrAjya
dhUrvaham Naatham
(Meaning): Lord SriniivAsan of the Seven
Hills is the Jagath KaaraNa Brahmam.
Only the Prabhus ( sarvajn~aas)
can comprehend this truth.adiyEn prostrates before Swamy Desikan , the
incarnation of the Lord's temple bell. Swamy Desikan is indeed my Lord , who
recieved PattAbhishEkam ( coronation) in the kingdom of dispassionate ones (
viraktAs) .
(Comments): Jagat-KaaraNatvam is the
LakshaNam (distinguishing Charactrestric)
of Brahman . Sage
BaadarAyaNa refers to this Jagath KaaraNatvam ( Being the sole cause of the
creation , sustenance and dissolution of the Universe) clearly in Brahma
Sutra I.1.2 (
JanmAdy-asya-yata:) . SrI VenkatEsa of Thirumala is that Jagath KaaraNa
Prabhu ( PrabhavO hi VenkatEsa: ).
This tattvam of Brahman being defined as
" the origin of the
three fold cosmic process to distinguish it from all other sentient and
insentient entities" is comprehended by Jn~Anis ( prabhavO vijAnatE tattvam
).
"Prabhavam TamEva sEvE": adiyEn worships
only that , who incarnated as Swami Desikan .
" Virakta sAmrAjyam dhUrvaham nAtham
TamEva prabhavam sEvE": My Lord, Swami Desikan the coronated king in the
land populated by ViraktAs for whom a piece of gold and a pot shred have the
same value .
Swamy Desikan's VairAgya Panchakam
reveals the superiority of His vairAghyam with respect to worldly wealth .
He considered them as tuccham and rejected them as worthless compared to the
wealth on top of Hasti Giri , left as family treasure by Brahma Devan
.
In three lines of the slOkam saluting
the Year named Prabhava , SevA Swami uses the word Prabhava and connects it
to Swamy Desikan .
SlOkam 2/Year 2/60: The year Vibhava

incarnated in the samvatsaram of Vibhava with special Vaibhavam and made nithys
sooris shine with special glories (Vaibhavam) and shines with special
Vaibhavam .
(Coments): Swamy Desikan was born in the
Vibhava year as the amsam of the temple bell of Lord VenkatEsan of Thirumalai .
He was a nitya Soori at SrI VaikunTham . He was commanded by the Lord to
incarnate in the bhU lOkam to strengthen the foundations of
Bhagavad
RaamAnuja Darsanam and the path of
SaraNAgathy as the sure means for gaining Moksha SaamrAjyam . Thus among
all the nitya sooris , Swamy Desikan had a special Vaibhavam .That was the
VisEsha Vaibhavam of this PrAjn~ar , who glorified the world with His subha
charitam and avatAra Vaibhavam.
The word "Vibhava" is used in three of
the four Paadhams of this slOkam by SevA Swami .

whiteness ( spotlessness) in His dEha kaanti ( lustre of His ThirumEni) , thru
His blemish-free kaimkaryams; He is like Moon duirng the Sukla Paksham and
resembles the white Swan ( Raaja Hansam) .
(Comments): The name of Sukla for the
third year among the sixty is incorporated in the three Padhams of this sLokam
that pays tribute to Swamy Desikan . Through His superior
intellect
( sumEdhasA) , he has surpassed
(atigata:) the hue of Suklam( Whiteness standing for auspicousness) . Not only
by his superior intellect has he surpassed Sula atribute but he has excelled
thru his manas , sareram and noble acts
( MaanasEna vapushA sukarmaNaa suklatAm

prajAnAm
(Meaning): Swamy Desikan made all
immensely joyous with His ViSEsha Jn~Anam ; He engaged in
serving as a messenger like Yadhukula Tilakan to the court of KouravAs (
PaaNDava dhUtan) , like AnjanEyan to LankA to bring the message
of SrI Raamachandran to
Sita PirAtti in AsOka Vanam and like the Raaja Hamsam to bring the message
of Parankusa Naayaki and AndaaL to their Lord , Sriman NaarAyaNan. What
kind of DhUta SahAyam did Swamy Desikan provide exactly ? He took on the role of
DhUtar ( messenger, interceder)
for the people to attain the sacred feet
of the Lord. As an AchAryan , Swamy Desikan placed the souls of Mumukshus at the
protecting feet of the Lord . That was His dhUta
krutyam(vyApAram).
(Commnets): Sawmy Desikan's dhUta
krutyam was similar to the Lord of Yadhus ( YadhUnAm adheeSa:) , AnjanEya (
Kapee:) and Raaja Hamsam
( the One sent by Lord Raamachandra
to
SitA Piraatti in Hamsa SandEsam). Swamy
was engaged as an AchAryan to
go as a messenger ( dhUtan) on behalf of
Mumukshu prajais performing Prapatti and seeking the Lord's rakshaNam thru the
act of Bhara nyAsam . The" dhUta"
sabdham is used in 2 of the 4 paadhams
of this slOkam .

PrajOtpatti karma

prajAtO hi noonam gurur
VenkatEsa:
prabhandhAn prakrushtAn- srujatyadhbhutam na:
(Meaning): Brahma dEvan engaged in the
performance of the karma of ParajOtpatti. He delighted Himself by creating the
multifold chith and achith
with attributes of wonderous (
adhbhutam) kinds . In this context , the creation of lofty prabhandhams by
our Swamy Desikan from a great kulam
is indeed filling us with a sense of awe
and reverence .
( Comments): Sri Seva Swamy's
skills as
a poet is well known . He composed
a sahasram on Lord VenkatEsa and another sahasram on Lord of
Hastigiri.
In this 5th slOkam , Swamy's handling of
" Prahrushta: " and " Prakrushta" is
an example of his great poetic
skills and
usage of close sounding words with
entirely different meanings with telling
effect. Brahma became joyous ( Prahrushta:) over His fascinating
creations as He engaged
in the
PrajOtpatti Karma assigned to Him
by His Lord. Guru VenkatEsan (
Swamy Desikan born in a
lofty kulam ( PrajAtO) created (srujath) wonderous Prabhandhams ( PrakrushtAn
PrabhandhAn adhbhutam srujath
).
