SRI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas Thus AzhwAr advised quoting the past incident and also quoting from vedic truths, that Sriya: Pathi alone is the Primordial Chief and is unparalleled Supreme Lordship above Rudran, et al. They (Rudra et al) are Jeevans are born due to Karma in their respective positions and next janmam may not be the same exalted state for them. Always, the complete One- Purest One- is Sriman Narayanan- emperumAn. He takes various avathArs on His own accord and on his own free will and by taking such avathArams like mathsya, koormam, Rama, Krishna, his glories, powers, veeryam, shakthi thejas, never ever get diminished; nor does He lose them. He always possesses them as Bhagawaan. Without realizing the same, Rudra, Chauthrmukha brahmA, Devendra and others came to play and fight against KaNNan (thinking wrongly that he is a mere cowherd Boy). Since they came to fight, he had to necessarily show the powers to them. For those who are devoted to Him and are trying to meditate on Him, He becomes easily accessible, enables them to do so; they become recipient of His enormous grace and compassion and He lets them develop (with his grace) unflinching, unconditional faith [mahAviswAsam] on Him. JeevathAmAs- however level they go, they are never capable of letting them reach mOksham; not they can on others. Where is the question at all for granting others mOksham, when they themselves can not get or attain? EmperumAn-even if he takes a small or lowly form, he is able to grant mOksham to others- AzhwAr enjoys in this verse. In Rama avathAram, in order to get Sugreevan?s friendship [with the witness of fire], he had sent an arrow thorugh seven trees (to prove his valour); later, he sent an arrow to pierce the strong chest of Vaali and make him fall.. Our mahO upakarakan (most merciful Lord) even during avathArams, He is capable of ruling the upper world (Srivaikuntam); He alone can grant the Supreme position of Srivaikuntam to those who are in the thoughts and anugraham of Sriman Narayanan (by their surrender to His lotus feet and their devotion). And Not for others though they have reached and are ruling the Sathya lOkam or any other lOkam. Still, Srivaikuntam is inaccessible to them; nor can they send anyone there in any manner. His friend Sugreevan had traces of doubts and his viswAsam was less. Rama had sent an arrow through the seven trees and convinced of his valour to Sugreeva thereby increasing his viswAsam. So, firstly we need to develop friendship and asscociation with Him thereby He grants us further more viswAsam in our hearts. So, let us get rid of the abhimaanam (desire and love) for the other demi gods ? devathAtharams and enmity to Him? Never think that without His grace one can get the biggest fruit- mOksham. Even those demi gods get their powers due to His grace and anugraham. Else they would not have been what they are. Even with the slight excuse, (by showing some devotion), he gets pleased. Even to think of Him, surrender to Him, we need His grace and anugraham alone.. So, we need to get first friendly with Him. To do that? first be in line with what he has instructed (in saasthrAs); That is nothing but Vedas and saasthrAs which are His command and hence need to be followed. umbaraaLi- even when taking fullest human form, declaring ?I am only mere ordinary human being- son of King Dasaratha; athmAnAm maanusham manyE; rAmam dasarathAthmajam?, due to His limitless grace, granted Moksham to Jataayu pakshi.. [mayaa thvam samanujAthO gaCCha lOkAnanutthamAn] Think of that. vaanamaaLilum- Aishwaryam, - Do not think that just because they are ruling the Deva lokam, Sathyalokam etc., they can also access Srivaikuntam. Yaarkkum- Do not at all have the thinking that Brahma, Rudran and Vishnu are equal; do not have wrong jnAnam (vibhareetha) that Vishnu?s grace and anugraham is not needed for the other two? even they breathe and live with His grace alone.
