Marghazhi Month : Day 1 
***********************************
Sri:

Dear BhakthAs of Thiruvaheendhrapuram Achyuthan:

In the Slokam 13 , Swamy Desikan discusses the divisions among
the Lord's creations that arise directly from the karma visEsham of
the Jeevans .

SlOkam 13 
**************
vishama guNAnkura prakarE  jalamiva sAmAnya-kAraNam Tava kELi:
nija karma sakthi niyathA: Achyutha BrahmAdhi sTAvarAntha visEshA: 

(Meaning according to D.R.Swamy ) : Oh Achyutha ! Thy leela (sport) is 
a common cause like water , which is supplied to various sprouts having
different and varying tendencies . The differences from Brahma downwards
to immobile objects are the result of their own karmas .

(Comments): Oh Achyutha ! You create this universe full of so many categories 
through Your sankalpam. These categories are innumerable ranging from
the mighty Brahma to the Lowly unicellular plant .Your leela (sport ) is 
the common cause behind their creation . 

Due to the different admixture of the three guNams , the nature and the 
activities of 
these entities differ. For instance , in this world , there are many kinds of 
grains 
and fruits . The common cause for their creation is the Water used for 
irrigation.
Their differences as a specific fruit or grain arise form the individual 
differences 
in their seeds (vinaikaL or KarmAs) . Some are sweet and some are bitter .
Some have one color and the others have another color etc . Similar to water 
being
the common cause for their sprouting into different grains and fruits from their
different seeds , Oh Achyutha , Your leelaa is the common factor in Your 
creation
of the world and its multifarious entities  . Their previous karmAs energized 
by 
Your leelaa are the visEsha KaaraNams . One who has accumulated visEsha 
PuNyam becomes Brahman and the other who has the least PuNyam acquire
different lowly births as birds , animals and plants . The power of their 
karmAs 
decide the Yoni in to which they will be born due to Your Leelaa . Therefore ,
one can not attribute any partiality or indifference to You in Your act of 
creation .  

(Additional Observations) : Just as the same water irrigating fields planted 
with different seeds  produce different grains (Wheat , corn or rice) 
and fruit-bearing trees , Your leelA to create this world is the same but 
the differences in the created beings is due to the differences in each of
their poorva karmAs . The vaasanais of those karmAs stick to the jeevans
and results in joy or suffering .
  

SlOkam 14 
***************
PurushAs-Tava vibhUthyr-achyutha LakshmyA: sthree-samj~nA:
nAsthy param YuvayO: Saa-api Sreer-bhavathy Tava kim punaritharath 

(meaning according to D.R.Swamy ) : Oh Achyutha! Males appertain to Thee ; 
those known as women appertain to Lakshmi . There is no other apart from
the two of You . That Lakshmi too is Thine. Why talk about others ? 

Following VishNu purANa slOkam says in this context :

dEva thiryang manushyEshu punnAmA BhagavAn Hari:
Sthree naamnee Lakshmee: MaitrEya ! naanyO vidhyathE param

( All that is named male among dEvAs , men and animals is naught but
BhagavAn Hari . Those who are named females are Lakshmi . There is 
nothing beyond them) .

Swam Desikan points out here that all males belong to the Lord and 
all females to Lakshmi .Besides the two of Them, there is nothing left . 

(Comments) : Here , Swamy Desikan points out that there is no Tatthvam 
superior to the divine couple . Oh Achyutha ! all categories amongst Your
creation ---DevAs , Humans , animals et al--split into either male or female 
and are under Your control . Those of female gender are directed by Your
divine consort , MahA Lakshmi . Those of Male gender are commanded and
directed by You . There is no one else except the two of You to rule this 
Prapancham and its entities . In all amsams , MahA Lakshmi , who is 
similar to You in KalyANa guNams is directed by You as Her husband 
( Bhagavan NaarAyaNAbhimathAnuroopa svarropa guNa vibhava Idwarya 
SeelAdhyanavadhikaadhiSaya asankhyEya KalyANa guNa gaNAm 
PadmAvanAlayAm Bhagavatheem ).  She has kept many attributes in common
with Her Lord but they have divided certain GuNams as exclusively their
own by mutual agreement . 

Oh Achyutha ! When SrI DEvi Herslf obeys Your directions , there is nothing 
much to say about all the others obeying Your  commands as their antharAthmA .

SlOkam 15 ( Dhaiva Naayakan alone is Sarva SaraNyan)
***********************************************************************
na khalu Tava sadhruSAbhyadhikaa: NaaTa ThvamEva SarvalOka SaraNya :
yEthavath Jn~Ana-Saaramithi  jn~Athum ThridaSanATEtara vichinthA 

( Meaning according to D.R.Swamy ) : Oh Lord of the DevAs ! There is 
no one equal to You or greater than You . Thou alone art (therefore) the only 
refuge for all the worlds . This is the essence of all knowledge . It is only 
to fully comprehend this truth , all other thoughts , study and reflections
pave the way (to comprehend this ultimate truth ).

(Comments) : Oh Dhaiva Naayaka! There is no one , who is equal to or
superior to You .You are the refuge for the world and therefore its protector.
This is the truth that one who wishes to gain the Moksha sukham ( parama
PurushArTam) should comprehend . Study of all the SaasthrAs is only 
to enable one to understand this fundamental truth . The end result of 
study of all the Saasthrams and VedAntham is the realization of this Truth :
Hari has no equal or Superior and that He in the company of Lakshmi is
the only rfuge for the world .  

(Additional Observations) : " Lord and Sri Devi together are the Supreme 
Godhead and the two of Them together are the sole refuge for all humanity .
In other words , the dhivya dampathys are the Supreme TatthvA and 
the SaraNya dampathys are our sole refuge ..... They alone are the TatthvA
and PurushArTaa ".
