SrI:

Dear BhakthAs: We will study the next 5 slOkams ( 46- 50) today .

SlOkam 46 :
*************
nithyA TavAnya nirapEkshamahA mahimnOapi
   yEthAdhrusee niravadhir-niyathA vibhUthi ;
Jn~AnadhayO guNagaNA: samatheethaseemA:
   LakshmI: priyA  parijanA : PathagEndhra-mukhyA:

(Meaning): Oh Vaikunta NaaTa ! even though Your vaibhavam
does not depend on any thing , the limitless LeelA and Nithya
VibhUthis of Yours are under Your total control as their Supreme Master.
Your Jn~Anam and  the countless auspicious attributes  are associated
with You alone. Sri Devi of immeasurable glories is dearest to You
in the most appropriate (abhimatha ) manner . Pakshi Raajan and other
nithya sooris are Your dedicated servants .

(Comments): Para VaasudEvan residing in Sri Vaikuntam and is established
in His own glory (sva mahimnE prathishtitha: ) . His unparalleled glorious
assembly of GuNams are recognized as existing expressly for Him
(guNa gaNA: niyathA ) . KurEsar chose the words  " Samatheetha SeemA
LakshmI: Tava niyathA PriyA " based on the AzhwAr Paasura Vaakyam ,
" UnakkERkkum kOlamalarp-Paavai " and AchArya RaamAnuja Vaakyam ,
" Bhagavan-NaarAyaNa apimathAnuroopa BHagavathee" .

SlOkam 47
***********
yEkasya yEshu hi guNasya lavAyuthAmsa:
    syAth kasyachith sa khalu vAng-manasAthika SrI:
yE thAdhrusOathyavadhaya: samatheetha samkhyA:
    Thvath SadhguNas-Thvamasi tannirapEksha LakshmI:

(Meaning): Any one , who possesses even one part in ten thousandth
of one of Your auspicious guNams  , he will be the celebrated owner of
the wealth that would be beyond speech or thought . Such abundance of
auspicious guNams have taken refuge in You . Those guNams do not add
to Your glory but instead they become glorious because of their association
with You .

(Commentary) : There are a few who describe the Lord as NirguNan
( NirguNa Brahmam) . KurEsar wnts to remind these matha anusAris
that the Lord is sakala KalyANa guNa sampoorNan.

SlOkam 48
**************
Sarvasya chaiva guNathO hi vilakshaNathvam
    Iswaryathasccha kila kascchidh udhanjitha: syAth
tath prathyutha Thvayi VibhO ! vibhavO guNAsccha
    samBhandhatastava bhajanthi mangaLathvam

(Meaning): Oh Lord of All ! The greatness of any object is
due to the glory of its Gunam. When one is respectfully
treated , it is because of his abundant wealth . Oh Lord !
In Your case , this situation is reversed . Iswaryams
and the guNams attain auspiciousnes because of links
to You and not the other way round .

(Comment ): The guNams atttain their satthaa and Mangalathvam
through their association with Him ( " guNA: sathya- jn~Aana
prabhruthaya utha Thvath-gathatayA Subhee - bhUyam yAthA ithi) .

SlOkam 49
************
dhoorE guNaastava thu satthva rajastamAmsi
     tEna thrayee praTayathi Thvayi nirguNathvam
nithyam HarE ! nikhila sadhguNa sAgaram hi
     ThvAm aamananthi ParamEswaram IswarANAm

(Meaning): Oh Hari! The three guNams (Satthva, Rajas and Tamas )
are far removed from You . Therefore , the Rg, Yajus and the Saama
Vedhams announce Your nonpossession of these inauspicious guNams
(nirguNathvam) . You are the Lord of all Iswaraas (i-e) ., You are 
SarvEswaran .
You are like the ocean for all these limitless auspicous attributes to be 
housed.

(Commentary ): This slOkam is to refute the Views of Adhvaithins
that Bhagavaan is NirguNan . KuResar states that the three guNams
--associated with Moola Prakruti-- are far removed from the Lord
and therefore He is "NirguNan" and yet He is the deep abode (ocean)
of all kalyANa guNams ( samastha KalyANa guNAmrutha aBdhi ) .
The fourth paadham is based on Sruthi and UpabruhmaNams:
" Ya : Para: Sa MahEswara: " and " anAdhinidhanam VishNum
SarvalOka MahEswaram ".

SlOkam 50 :
************
Jn~Athmana: Tava tadhEva guNam gruNanthi
     tEjOmayasya hi maNErguNa yEva tEja:
tEnaiva viswam aparOksham udheekshasE Thvam
     rakshA ThvadheekshaNatha yEva yathOakhilasya

(Meaning): Oh Hari ! You are the embodiment of Jn~Anam
(Jn~Ana Svaroopi) . Scholars describe that Jn~Anam as a GuNam.
One may wonder how that would be possible . He is Both Jn~Ana
Svaroopan and Jn~Ana GuNakan . His Jn~Anam is asankuchitham
( unshrinking) and does not undergo shrinking and expansion like
that of a Bhaddha Jeevan. He is both Jn~Ana Svaroopan nd Jn~Ana guNikan
just as the lustre of the gem is the guNam for the gem full of lustre.
With Your Omniscience , You cast Your glances on  all the objects of
the Universe. The protection for all these objects arise arises from
those glances of Yours alone.

(Commentary): Here , KurEsar focuses on the doctrines of DjarmabhUtha
Jn~Anam and Dharmee Jn~Anam . KurEsar distinigushes the Jn~Anam of
the Lord from that of BHaddha Jeevans here .He celebrates the IeekshA-
poorvika srushti ( creation based on His glances alone) and the Omniscience
(Sarvaj~nathvam) that empowers such srushti (Sa Ieekshatha lOkAn
nu srujaa ithi , tadhaikshatha Bahu syAm prajAyEya  ithi ).  This 
Sarvaj~nathvam
is saluted in the third line of this slOkam .The power of those glances of
the Sarva Sakthan is celebrated in the fourth paadham of this slOkam .
