kudhrushti-pradhushtA:
(meaning): Those who intrepret Veda
Vaakyams in a vipareeta manner ( kudhrushtis) seem to say to their followers "
be floating , be floating"in samsAric ocean.Swamy Desikan is the only one , who interprets Veda
Vaakyams correctly befitting His title as NigamAnta Desikan and instructs us
on the unfailing route of SaraNAgathy . He serves thus as a firm boat
to travel from this (samsAric) shore to the other
( Parama
Padham).

criticize
incorrect darsanams .This is the glory
of our AchArya Saarvabhouman , who is an embodiment of Saanti
.

or MuLaikkucchi in TamiL.KaNDaka: means a thorn or pain causing

KaNDka UddharaNam is the extraction of
the thorn that annoys . Here , Sevaa Swamy visualizes NigamAntha Desikan
as the remover of the
thorn for Vedams
who are the Paramata Vaadhins like
the elephants in rut. Swamy is
compared
to a Lion ( Kavi Taarkika Simham) ,
who
attacks and subdues the haughty
elephants that are like the annoying thorn in one's flesh ; thus he
provides comfort for the VedAs.

soumyan. Oh Good People of this earth ! Have you seen anyone greater than

(Meaning): SaadharaNa means common or
ordinary or garden variety . SevA Swamy states here that those (Scholars
and untutored ones ) who view Swamy
Desikan as a human being are simpletons ( SaadhaaraNa entities). Through His
uniquely lofty SrI Sooktis , Swamy Desikan holds the highest status
among
VedAnta VidhvAns and AchAryAs. How can
an ordinary scholar or simple folk
understand this fact ? It is indeed
difficult for them .

prabhEdhirE prahrushta:
(Meaning): Swamy Desikan is
VirOdhi-kruth since
He destroys VirOdhi Vargams ( categories of kudhrushtis and Kumatis).Through
SrI Sooktis like VirOdhi ParihAram , He protects even the deluded "virOdhis"
with auspicious words housed in His own SrI Sooktis. Those who were haughty to
Him and stayed away from His sacred feet leave their aggression behind and
become dhanyAs,once they
seek the protection of His redeeming feet .
