SrI:

Dear BhakthAs of Lord RanganAtha:

adiyEn will  continue with the 867th to the 871st Sahasra
Naamams today, which will cover  the 12th chapter of
Srimath Rahasya Thraya Saaram ( Saanga prapadhanAdhikAram)  :

(867) (PraNavam) Prapatthi LakshaNaabhij~nyA nama:

Salutations to Swamy  Desikan , who knew very well
the lakshaNams of Prapatthi .

(Comments): This chapter explains the ways to perform
Prapatthi with its five angams .

Swamy  Desikan has instructed us on the way of performing
Prapatthi(aathma SamarpaNam)  along with its five accesories  :

1) Karthruthva ThyAgam: The person performing Prapatthi
should reflect that he is not the principal doer ( KarthA) ,
but it is ParamAthmA alone , who is the doer .

2) MamathA ThyAgam: The person performing Prapatthi
should detatch oneself from the thought that he is
the karthA and the karma belongs to him .

3) Phala ThyAga : the performer of Prapatthi should
detatch himself from the fruits of Prapatthi and place
that at the sacred feet of the Lord as belonging to Him
alone.

4) PhalOpayathva ThyAga:  Prapatthi that is being performed
should be recognized not as a direct means for attaining his object
but it is only a vyAjam ( pretext) . One should banish the thought that
Prapatthi is the direct means for the phalan resulting from
the performance of Prapatthi. Abandoning the idea of the means
to the phalan is PhalOpAyathva ThyAgam .

Along with the FOUR ThyAgams ( Karthruthva, MamathA ,
Phala  and PhalOpAya ThyAgams) , one should reflect upon
the five accessories of Prapatthi ( Aanukoolya Sankalpam et al)
at the time of the anushtAnam of Prapatthi.

These five accessories of Prapatthi have to be reflected upon
once at the time of Prapatthi. After performing Prapatthi and
until the end of the earthly life , the Prapannan has to observe
still aanukoolya sankalpam , Praathikoolya varjanam and
MahA ViswAsam . They become the Phalans gained from
the prayer made at the time of Prapathti.

After making the four ThyAgams and reflecting on
the five accessories , one should prostrate before
the AchArya Paramparai ; thereafter ,  Dhavaya manthram
is used as sadhanam to  surrender one's aathma
Svaroopam ( Svaroopa SamarpaNam) , the phalans
arising from the Prapatthi ( Phala SamarpaNam)
and the aathma rakshA bhara samarpaNam
( the burden of protection ) . Among the three kinds  of
SamarpaNams , the Aaathma RakshA Bhara SamarpaNam
is the most important .

One should ask for Moksham at the end of earthly life ,
when one performs Prapatthi and in the post-prapatthi period
engage in blemishless kaimkaryam to the Dhivya dampathis.

One of the four methods of Prapatthi has to be observed:

(1) Sva Nishtai (2) Ukthi Nishtai (3) AchArya Nishatai and
(4) BhAgavatha Nishtai .

868) (PraNavam) NyAsa VidhyAngi vEdithAya nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who was
fully familiar with the angi svaroopam of NyAsa Vidhyai.

(Comments): In the 864 th Sahsra Naamam , the angams of the NyAsa Vidhyai
were covered . The angi of Prapatthi is Aathma SamarpaNam( Surrender of
aathma at the sacred  feet of the Lord) .

869) (PraNavam) Thrivarga mOksha janaka nyAsa vidhyA visEsha vidhE nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy  Desikan , who knew the differences
between the two kinds of NyAsa Vidhyai : (1) One that grants the phalan
of thri vargams( Dharmam , arTam and Kaamam) (2) One that grants Moksha
Phalan.Lord grants the Phalan that one seeks through Prapatthi 
.ParamaikAnthis
perform Prapatthi for Moksham . The thri varga Phalans are alpa phalans
(insignificant and transitory) compared to the grand phalan of Moksham .
In the Prapatthi done for Moksham alone , Svaroopa and Phala SamarpaNams
will dominate . Bhara SamarpaNam is common for both kinds of Prapatthis.
There are also differences in a Bhakthi yogi performing prapatthi for the 
fulfilment
of Bhakti yOgam . Here , the Bhara SamarpaNam aspect will be dominant .

870) (PraNavam) Saanga PrapathyAnushtAna prayOga vidhi saadhakAya nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy  Desikan , who  revealed to us the PrayOga
Vidhi of Prapatthi ( The united way of using the prapatthi vaakyams for
angams
with pradhana vidhi , which relates to the angi of Prapatthi).

(Comments) :  Angams for Prapatthi are five and there are vaakyams relating
to
them in Prapatthi prayOgam . Angi is the combination of Aathma SamarpaNam ,
Phala SamarpaNam and Bhara SamarpaNam . PradhAna vidhi for Prapatthi is
the saanga pradhAna vidhi samyuktha prapatthi ( PradhAna vidhi conmbined
with anga vidhis) . Aathma samarpaNam and Phala SamarpaNam  should not be
considered either as angams or seperate angis . If we consider Aathma
SamarpaNam
and Phala SamarpaNam as seperate angis , then the effect would be the
multiple
performance of Prapatthi , which is not allowed. Prapatthi has to be done
only once .

871) (PraNavam) Saanga prapathyanushtAna  sakruthva sTApana
          kshamAya nama:

(Meaning): Salutations to Swamy Desikan , who had the skills to establish
that saanga Prapatthi ( Prapatthi done with the angAs) should be done
only once .

(Comments) : The angams of Aanukoolya sankalpam , PrAthikoolya varjanam
and MahA ViswAsam reflected upon at the time of Prapatthi take on different
dimensions after the prapatthi anushtAnam . All the three are needed
after prapatthi but their role is no longer that of angams , but are
considered as Phalans of Prapatthi. Thus , Prapatthi doen once
( Saanga Prapatthi with PradhAna Vidhi) is all what is needed  for
Moksha Sidhdi .
