Sri:

Dear Sri RanganAtha BhakthAs :

In this slOkam , Swamy Desikan salutes the Vaathsalyam 
and Dayaa of Lord of Srirangam , which save the chEtanan 
from being lost in the temptations of SamsAric pleasures 
and propells him to the higher goal of Moksham . 

SlOkam 10 
**************
BhibhEth bhavabhruth PrabhO thvadhupadEsa theevroushadhAth
     kadadhva rasa dhurvishE BaLisa bakshavath preeyathE
apaTya parihAra- dhee vimukham ittham  Aakasmikee
     tamapyavasarE kramaa dhavathi Vathsalaa Thvadh-dhayaa

Swamy Desikan says here : " Tamapi Vathsalaa aakasmikee Thvaddh
Dayaa , avasarE kramAth avathy ". Even him ( the samsaari lost
in the enjoyement of the transient pleasures of life ) , Oh RanganAthA , 
Your avyAja karuNA saves him in due time from repeated births
and deaths . 

Oh Lord of Srirangam ! The SamsAri (Bhavabhruth)  fears (BhibEth) 
to take the tough medicine (theevra Oushadham ) of Your upadEsams
in Bhagavath Saasthrams like PaancharAthram and Bhagavath Gitaa.
They are the powerful medicines to cure the disease of SamsAram for 
the ChEtanams.

The SamsAri engages in the lowly (kadhadhva) pleasures of material life  ,
which are like the poisonous bait (Rasa dhurvisham) that tempt the fish
to feed on it ( BaLisa bhakshavath) and the SamsAri is very happy (preeyathE) 
with that kind of  enjoyment . Being used to the tasting of such pernicious
pleasures , the SamsAri is habituated (addicted) and delves deeper and
deeper in such harmful activities .These acts of the SamsAri are like 
the fish arriving to eat the poisonous food attached to the bait of 
a fisherman . The fish does not realize that  the biting of the bait will end 
its life . The SamsAri does not pay any attention to the dangers inherent 
in pursuit of such harmful acts of chasing after dangerous pleasures .

The SamsAri has no intention to get away from such harmful (ittham apaTyam)
enjoyment  and keeps on engaging in such activities without casting it aside .
He becomes "  ParihAra dhee vimukhan " ( One who is uninterested in 
giving up those self-destructive acts) . What is to become of this samsAri ?
Who will intervene and save him from his own destructive activities ? 

The Lord of Srirangam does intervene . Even in the case of such a samsAri 
persisiting in being mired in such harmful activities (tamm api) , He 
intervenes at 
the appropriate time (avasarE) and gradually (kramAth ) saves him (avathy) out 
of 
His infinite avyAja dayaa (aakasmikee) and affection ( vathsalaa  Thvath Dayaa) 
.  
Sri RanganAthan's  KaruNaa is without any reason and is kindled by his 
affection 
for the SamsAri . Lord's compassion admixed with His affection saves the 
pitiable
samsAri . How is that done ? The Lord's affection makes Him overlook the 
trespasses
of the SamsAri . The Lord's Dayaa proceeds to wipe away the sufferings of 
the SamsAri .When the SamsAri gains a little PuNyam thru some act of his , 
Lord's Dayaa flows towards him (SamsAri) in a manner that is not readily
comprehended by others ( aakasmikee Thvath Dayaa) . Over time (KramAth) ,
it turns the chEtanan towards the performance of auspicious deeds and 
lands him ultimately at the sacred feet of His ( Lord's) AchAryAs to perform
Prapatthi and earn Moksha Sukham as a result . His Vaathsalyam and Dayaa
thus protects the erring chEtanam in a grand manner .
