SrI:
 
 Dear BhakthAs of Lord RanganAtha:
 
adiyEn will  continue with the 863rd to the 864th Sahasra
Naamams today, which will take us from the 10th chapter
of Prapatthi yOgyAdhikAram  to the 11th chapter of Srimath 
Rahasya Thraya Saaram ( Parikara VibhAgAdhikaaram)  :
 
(863) (PraNavam) PrapathyadhikriyA panchadasa nirNaya-
 kOvidhAya nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy  Desikan , who had the skills
to determine the 15 aspects of fitness to perform Prapatthi.

(Comments): How does one become eligible to observe Prapatthi
without observance of Bhakthi yOgam ?  That question is answered 
here. Bhakthi and Prapatthi have these in common: (1) Desire in
the phalan of Moksham (2) gaining of knowledge of the meanings
of Saasthram (3) performance of rites prescribed by the SaastrAs
4) sticking to Jaathi and GuNam for the observance of specific 
means (e.g) Prapatthi can be performed by anyone . Bhakthi
yOgam is limited to three varNams only.

Limited only to those perform Prapatthi for Moksham are
three other conditions : (1) Inability or powerlessness 
to undertake any other upAyam(aakinchanyam)  (2) a state of mind , 
where no other fruit is desired (3) a resolute state of mind , where 
no other God is sought for phalans of any kind (ananya gathithvam) . 
Inability to perform the ardous Bhakthi yOgam is called Aakinchanyam.
One needs clear Jn~Anam , endurance and an impatience to wait for
the fruits (Moksham ) of the slow yielding Bakthi yOgam . These three
factors cause aakinchanyam in one and drives them towards the upAyam of 
Prapatthi. Further , there is no limit to which of the four varNAs can do
Prapatthi unlike Bhakthi yOgam .Prapatthi has thus sarvAdhikAram . Hence ,
Prapatthi is glorious and is superior to Bhakthi yOgam for a Mumukshu. 

(864) (PraNavam) NyAsa VidhyAnga panchathvOpakAra vyAkruthi 
 kshamAya nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy  Desikan , who had the skills 
to describe the fruits of the five accesories ( angAs) of Prapatthi 
( Aanukoolya Sanklapam , PrAthikoolya Varjanam , KaarPaNyam , 
MahA VisvAsam and gOpthruva VaraNam ). Prapatthi is hence
described as "PanchAnga Samyutha: ". The " Shadvidha SaraNAgathy"
referred to in Ahirbudhnya SamhitA means it is the Main SaraNAgahty
characterized by the Five accessories .

(Comments): One seeking Moksham has to perform the prapatthi
( SaraNAgathy , aathma nikshEpam) with the union of the above 
five angAs.He should surrender his Self , the burden of his protection
and the fruits arising from that protection to the Lord. 

The definition of the  five accessories are :

1) Aanukoolya Sankalpam : Vow to be anukoolan(agreeable) 
to the Lord(2) Praathikoolya varjanam : a vow to abandon all
acts that will incur the displeasure of the Lord (3) KaarpaNyam : 
Realization of one's utter helplessness to practise the austere
Bhakthi yOgam and to stay in a state of meekness before the Lord
praying for His anugraham (4) Mahaa VisvAsam : Total faith in
the Lord that He would come to his rescue (5) gOpthruva VaraNam :
Prayer to the Lord and requesting Him to be his sole protector .
Swamy  Desikan instructed us that all the five angams are
essential for prapatthi (Upayukthams) and there should not 
be dimunition in any one of them .
