SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesiika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, Thus after mentioning that Sriman Narayana is the Jagath kaaraNan (cause for the Universe), further, based on srOthriyasya cha akAhamathasya- He is the One who grants mOksham; and hence how can He be cause for samsaaric affliction; Hence He can not grant moksham; There should be someone else who grants mOksham- one should not think. There is absolutely NONE who can grant mOksham except Sriman Narayanan. In order to grant moksham, He lets us go through samsaaric affliction; - Alavandhar explains here. tvad AsrithAnAm jagad udhbavasthithi praNAsa samsaara vimOchanaadhaya: bhavanthi leelA vidhayas cha vaidikA: tvadeeya gambheera manOnusaariNa: [20] udhbhava - shrushti [creation], sthithi [sustenance], and praNAsa [destruction or dissolution] of the jagath [Universe]; the final redemption [mOksham] from this samsaaric affliction; - the direction [by manifesting] ? all of these are due to Your leelA [sport] and are based on Your own accord [sankalpam] and also are in accordance with vedic injunctions [which are Your command] . All of these are for the sake and benefit of Your devotees due to Your mercy on them. At all times and under all circumstances, for all worlds, the creation, sustenance and dissolution are all Your leelAs; the granting of mOksham for few [who perform the pertinent saasthric injunctions for the same] is also by You; why should You do all these uninterruptedly- is all due to the beginningless karma performed by jeevans and are never arbitrary. They follow the karmic pattern based on their puNya, paapams. You grant the births based on their own past karmas. If You do not follow this and grant without any basis, then You would be branded partial and biased, merciless. Thus You perform samasaaric affliction for the jeevans and also grant mOksham based on their smallest deed towards Your Feet as an excuse to take pity on them due to Your mercy and let them get out of further births and deaths. Thus You do not have any folly or defect on You. All these are comprehended and admired by Your devotees and they enjoy Your Supreme Lordship. And that helps in taking refuge at Your feet. And those devotees [prapannas] after taking refuge at Your feet enjoy You in this world as well in the same fashion. This reminds me of Sri Kuresa?s Varadarajasthavam: [posted by Sri Sadaopan Swami] ? which reinforces this sthOthra of Alavandhar. tavAnantha guNasyApi shaDEva praTamE guNA: yaisthvayEva jagath kukshou anyEpyanthar nivEsithA: In this slOkam of KurEsar , there is a qualifier for each of the six primary GuNAs that arose from Para VaasudEva Moorthy.: 1. Prakrushtam Vij~nAnam : The capacity to know every thing (Omniscience) that is far superior to that of a Jeevan. 2. Athulam Balam: All pervasive and unstoppable strength that can control and subdue every other power. 3. Akhilam Isvaryam: the all comprehensive Isvaryam(VibhUthi) including LeelA and Nithya VibhUthi that confers on Him the title of Ubhaya VibhUthi Naathan . 4. VimaryAdham Veeryam: Limitles valour . 5. ParamA sakthi: The supreme state as the power behind the universe and its functioning . 6. Param Teja: The capacity to be the matchless Supreme Radiance (Param JyOthi:, Svayam JyOthi:) The guNams exhibited by the Jeevans pale into insignificance compared to the KalyANa GuNams of the Lord. For instance, the Jn~Anam shown by the Jeevans is alpam(insignificant), where as the Lord's Jn~Anam is VilakshaNam ( matchlessly superior). The auspicious effects of the six guNams of the Lord on the jeevans are linkable to the Lord's dhivyAthma Svaroopam and Dhivya mangaLa Vigraham.The Jagath Srushti ( the creation of the world with its chEthanms and achEthanams) , RakshaNam (protection ), VinAsam (destruction ), conferral of true Jn~Anam and finally the blessings of MokshAnugraham are manifestations of the six guNAs in action. Thus Your leelA is all based on karma and they are all based on vedic injunctions as well. They are all Your instructions and Your agnyA. Sruthi, smruthir are my command- You had said. You perform creation, sustenance and dissolution in accordance with all this based on your own accord. Those who perceive this clearly, realising His greatness, take refuge at His Feet and those few are granted by mOksham by Him ? in line with their deed as an excuse and in line with His lordship. Thus He alone needs to be sought after for mOksham. He alone is the one ? responsible for creation, sustenance and dissolution.
