 SrI:
 
Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs :
 
Let us study 4 more Sahasra NaamAs of Swamy Desikan today :
 
748)   Vyaktheekrutha akhilOthkarsha  SrI Rahasya SikhAmanayE nama:
 
(Meaning ): Salutations to the AchAryan , who blessed us with
the highest among all rahasyams , Sri Rahasya SikhAmaNi dealing
with the two charama slOkams of VarAha perumAL .
 
The name given to this Rahasyam by Swamy Desikan is Rahasya SikhAmaNi
or the most superior (leader ) among the rahasyams. Swamy Desikan gave
this distinguished name of Rahasya SikhAmaNi to this rahasyam  
since these two slOkams arose from BhagavAn as the essence of Vedams .
The commentary on these two charama slOkams is the subject matter of
Rahasya SikhAmaNi .  
 
749)  Srimath VarAhaavathAra SarvAdhikyAbhidhAyakAya nama:
 
(meaning) Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who instructed us that VarAhAvathaaram
is superior to BhagavAn's Para, VyuHa states as well as the other avthArams .
This is along the lines of Swamy NammAzhwAr's statement in Thiruviruttham:
" Jn~Anap- PirAnai allAl  illai naann kaNDa nallathuvE "( Other than VarAha
Moorthy / Jn~Ana PirAn , adiyEn has not come across anything more auspicious
and benovolent ).  
 
Commentary :
*****************
(1) Para Roopam : In this Roopam , the Lord lives happily with
the Muktha Jeevans , who have crossed over to the other shore of SamsAram
through UpAya anushtAnam . There is no effort in protecting them . In contrast ,
VarAhAvathAram lifts up those Bhaddha Jeevans tossed about  in SamsAric
ocean .
 
(2) Vyuha Roopam : The BhakthAs in superior lokams have to go to
the lOkam of Vyuha roopis and seek protection .VarAha Moorthy in
contrast will descend down and embrace the suffering SamsAris .
 
3) MathsyAvathAram : The fish will protect the young ones with
nayana dheekshai . Thus , Mathsya Roopi will cast its auspicous glances on
those roaming in SamsAric ocean . In contrast , VarAha PirAn states that
He blesses those during their last moments , when they stay unconscious
like a fallen log .
 
4) KoormAvathAram: Here , the Lord carried on His back the Mandara
mountain and  places it inside the ocean for churning it . Bhumi and
the mountain were agitated by that churning process . VarAhAvathAram
bore on its tusk the BhUmi , which was sunk in the ocean and made
both mountains and bhUmi free from violent shaking .
 
5) NarasimhAvathAram : Immediately after the avathAram , the one that
was right in front was split ( the pillar and HiraNyan) in to two and destroyed .
VarAhavathAram in contrast held Bhumi tightly together and stabilized it .
 
6) VaamanaavathAram : This is an avathAram , where the Lord begged for
the BhUmi that was His property from Bali and gave it to Indhran . In VarAha
avathAram , VarAha Moorthy did not ask HiraNyAkshan for anything ,
destroyed the asuran and recieved Bhumi Devi majestically for His
own pleasure .
 
7) ParasurAman: In ancient times , those who gave witness carried a weapon
(Axe) .ParasurAman held an axe in His hand as thought to destroy His
enemies with the presence of a witness . VarAhar on the other hand
did not possess any weapons and destroyed His enemy with His own
tusk .Without  external weapon , He restored BhUmi , while She served
as the  witness for the avathAra Kaaryam .
 
8) Sri Ramachandran : He took with Him all the sentients and insentients 
at the time of departure for His supreme abode .Varaaha Moorthy carried
however BhUmi PirAtti on His own body .
 
9) BalarAmAvathAram: He had the plough as His weapon . In VarAha
avathAram , the Lord had no weapons. He used His own cannine tusk
for avathAra Kaaryam without any harm to Bhmi DEvi .
 
10) KrishNAvathAram : Arjunan sought UpadEsam from the Lord .
Our Lord instructed Arjuna on Karma , Jn~Ana and Bhakthi yOgams
first and then concluded His upadEsam with Prapatti yOgam . In VarAhAvathAram ,
BhUmi PirAtti prayed for an upadEsam for the benefit of the suffering
SamsAric Jeevans .VarAha PerumAL responded quickly with the srEshta
(Easy to practise and quick yielding ) UpAyam of SaraNAgathy to redeem
the Jeevans lost in SamsAric struggles .
 
11) Kalki avathAram : It is a future avathAram for helping those suffering
from the travails of SamsAram . VarAha avathAram has already taken place
and the UpakAram has been done in contrast to the yet-to-happen Kalki
avathAram .
 
The superiority of VarAhAvathAram is extolled in this manner by Swamy Desikan
in this rahasyam.
   
750) VarahAkhya purANAthisaya varNana dakshiNAya nama:
 
Salutations to that AchAryan , who had the skills to establish
the Superiority of VarAha PurANam over the other PurANams .
 
PurANams are of four kinds: (1)SankeerNam (2)Raajasam
(3) Taamasam (4) Saathveekam . The creators of the first three
kinds of PurANams have blemishes and as a result , the meanings of
these purANams have defects .They have been refused by the PramANams.
 
Among the Saathveeka PurANams , VarAha PurANam holds a lofty status.
Some of the reasons are :
 
1) It provides unassailable explanations for Tatthva-Hitha-PurushArTams .
The unassailability of the VarAha Charama sLOkams  has been endorsed by
ANDAL: " pEsiruppanahaL pErkkavum pErAvE " .  
 
2) VarAha PerumAn is known as "Sarvaj~nan , Jn~Ana PirAn , Sarva Sakthan
and Parama KaaruNeekan ". Therefore , He has no dhOshams like saying
some thing for decieving people . As a result , His words are superior .
The composers of Dharma Saasthrams (Manu et al) take particular pride
in enlisting VarAha PerumAn among those who were authorities on
Dharma Saasthrams .
 
3) For any word , there is glory for it because of the speaker . Similarly ,
there is glory for any word because of the listener . BhUmi Devi is the listener
of this PurANam from VarAha PerumAn .BhUmi DEvi is praised by
Vedams as the Empress of all the worlds . In the guNam of forbearance ,
she excells both BhagavAn and Periya PirAtti .
 
4) Many among the rest of the PurANams are told by Karma Vasyars for
Karma Vasyars and for latter's own benefits . There are no bonds between
the reciter and the listener . When it comes to VarAha PurANam , the narrator
and the listener are outside the influence of karmAs ( akarma VasyarhaL).
The listener ( BhUmi PirAtti ) did not hear it for Her benefit .She heard it for
the benefit of the world. Therefore , VarAha PurANam is superior among
the PurANams.
 
5) MahA BhAratham is superior among the dharmAs because of
the many VaishNava dharmams that it contains . VarAha PurAnam
focuses on many of these VaishNava dharmams described
in MahA BhAratham and is hterefore superior to all the other
purANams .
 
751) Prapatthipara VaarAha charama slOka BhOdhakAya nama:
 
Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who instructed us that the VarAha
Charama SlOkams deal with the MokshOpAyam of Prapatthi .
 
BhUmi PirAtti asked Her Lord a boon : Our children , the chEtanams
too not have the power to perform Bhakthi yOgam . Further , there may not
have the power to perfrom anthima smruthi , an important angam of
Prapatthi . She begged Her Lord to bless such suffering chEtanams
with an easy to practise upAyam to remove their burden .
 
BhagavAn rsponded to BhUmi Devi's prayer with 2 slOkams containing
Prapatthi as an UpAyam for their upliftment .
 
The first slOkam deals with the time to do Prapatthi , fitness , the method
to do it and the target person of that Prapatthi .
 
The Second slOkam states that the Prapannan need not depend on
anthima smruthi through his own effort . BhagavAn reveals that He will
accept all responsibilities at the helpless time of death on behalf of
the Prapannan and bless the Prapannan with MokshAnubhavam .
