SrI:

Dear BhakthAs of Lord RanganAtha:

adiyEn will  continue with the 859th to the 863rd Sahasra
Naamams today, which will take us from the 7th chapter
to the 10th chapter of Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram :

Chapter 7: Mumukshuthva adhikAram ( 859th Naamam)

Chapter 8 : AdhikAri VibhAgha adhikAram ( NaamAs: 860 & 861)

Chapter 9: UpAya VibhAga adhikAram ( 862nd Naama)

Chapter 10: Prapatthi yOgyAdhikAram ( 863rd Naama)

(859) (PraNavam) Mumukshaa hEthu Saaraj~nyAya Nama:

(Meaning) : Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who knew the essence of
how one develops a desire for Moksham .

(Comments) : This chapter deals with the steps that one gains 
Moksha ruchi. He goes through six steps:

1) He gains the Jn~Anam that Sariram ( physical body) is
different from the aathmA . He understands that aathmaa 
is eternal and even after the death of the physical body ,
the aathmaa can go to other worlds like svargam , narakam ,
Vaikuntam et al.  This knowledge qualifies him to recieve
other worldly gains.

2) He recognizes that the fruit of future birth can lead to
painful state of naraka vaasam . He banishes therefore 
sinful acts.

3) He understands next the svaroopam of the Lord as his
Supreme Master and himself as the Lord's eternal servant ,
whose svaroopam is to perform Bhagavath Kaimakryam .
He develops a taste for performing Bhagavath Kaimakryam.

4) He learns next the comprehensive meanings of AshtAksharam .
That removes his ahankAram and mamakAram which in turn kindles 
his interest in Moksham.

5) He recognizes that the earthly pleasures are transient and
are mingled with sorrow. He recognizes the defects (dhOshams)
in the pleasures of svargam as well . He understands that 
the pleasures of Bhagavath anubhavam in contrast are lasting
(nithyam) and limitless (anantham)as wella s free from any blemishes.
The ruchi for MOksham grows further.

6) after arriving at this stage , he abandons the karmAs that give 
phalans in this world and observes the UpAyam leading up to
Moksham like Bhkthi or Prapatthi yOgam . He now becomes 
a Mumukshu.

Summary of this 7th addhikAram Represented by the 759th Naama
**********************************************************************
The chEthanan comprehends the differences between the AathmA ,
Indhriyam and Sariram with the help of Bhagavath Saasthrams.
He understands about his fitness to reach the higher world and
the sorrow of wallowing in SamsAram thru birth in other wombs .
He fears the implications of accumulating sins and the consequent 
stay in Narakam and avoids paapa karmAs. He understands   
the loftiness of the Lord and his own lowliness and becomes 
qualified to seek Moksham . He understands through his AchAryaas 
the complete and correct meanings of AshtAksharam and cleanses 
himself of the different kinds of ahankArams and MamakArams that
stand in the way of his progress to Moksham . Through many valid
sources of knowledge ( PramANams ) , he understands the blemishes
of SamsAric way of life and Kaivalyam ( Contemplation on one's self )
and recognizes the superiority of Bhagavath anubhaavm . He intensifies
his efforts on karmAs that will lead him to moksham and stays
away from those that will have phalans in this world. This chEthanam
is the one revered as Mumukshu or one who desires Moksham 
and engages in the efforts for gaining that Sukham .SaasthrAs 
celebrate him .
