to address all dilemmas and difficulties related to VisishtAdhvaitha tatthvams .
 
(Commentary ) : This SoothradhAran's vaak : " Sarva Tantra SankaDa prasamana
visankaDa mathi: " . Swamy Desikan's sharp intellect as a Sarva Tantra Svatantrar
in defeating the Para Mathams is saluted here .
  
692) (PraNavam) Vimsa varshAdheetha sarva vidhyA santhathi bhAsurAya nama:
 
Salutations to that AchAryan , who mastered all vidhya paramparais by the age of Twenty .

( Meaning) : Salutations to the AchAryan , who taught the SrI BhAshyam
for SaarIraka Saasthram thrity times in his life .
 
(Commentary ) :     SoothradhArar says in this context : " Thrimsath Vaaram srAvitha-
SaarIraka bhAshya: ". He performed KaalkshEpam for his sishyAs on SrI BhAshyam
thirty times during his life by the time he created Sankalpa SooryOdhayam .
 
694) (PraNavam) YatheendhrArpitha dhurvAdhi vijayArTa pavithrakAya Nama:
 
(Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who adorned the Pavithram (ring made of
Dharbam ) given by YathirAjar in his hand for winning over the opponents belonging to
Para Mathams .
 
(Commentary ) : In Sankalpa SooryOdham , the sishyan is Swamy Desikan and
the Guru is Yathi Raajar . It is generally conceded that Swamy Desikan had a unfulfilled
wish (viz)., to be  adirect sishyar of AchArya RaamAnujA , which did not happen due to
chronology of their avathAram dates .  In Sankalpa SooryOdhayam , Swamy Desikan
visualizes that he was empowered by AchArya RaamAnujA through the pavithram
that he recieved from the latter .
 
695) (PraNavam)  VaadhanAmnE nama:
 
( Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan with the name of Vaadham .
 
(Commentary ) : Swamy Desikan gave himself the name of "Vaadham "
as he enacted the role of Sishyan in Sankalpa SooryOdhayam .
 
696) (PraNavam) VaadhadhOsha vyavasTA karaNa kshamAya nama:
 
( Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who established the rules of debate
(Vaadham ) in Sankalpa SooryOdhayam .
 
(Commentary ) : In the drama , Guru asks his sishyan (Swamy Desikan) to defeat
the opponents in the debate . Sishyan has  a doubt about the proptocol of
such a debate . Sishyan asks: Is it correct to debate with Brahmins and win ?
It is said that one who debates with BrahmaNaas and wins will be born as plants
in the deep forest . Guru answers : It is alright to engage in debates connected to
the determination of truth of doctrines ( Tatthva nirNayam ) and to establish firmly
our siddhAntham .  In the case of debates with one who puts down Iswara ( Iswara
dhUshaNam) and the one who is a nonbeliever in God ( naasthikan) , the debater can
engage even in Jalpam and VidhaNDA vaadham to defeat them . In the case of
others , it is not done . Jalpam is debate in an aggressive/harsh fashion . VidhaNDA
style of Vaadham is the criticism of other matham without establishing the merits of
one's own matham .
 
697) (PraNavm) Sookshma sookshmatarAthyantha sookshma prasnOtthara
        kshamAya nama:

subtler and subtlest Questions and providing answers for them .
 
(Commenatary ): In the play , there is a section on Guru-sishya exchanges
(SamvAdhams) , where Sishyan asks questions of increasing levels of sophistication
and the Guru answers them and removes the doubts of the Sishyan . Reference here is
to those samvAdham sections of the play . 
 
698) (PraNavam) Yatheendhra granTa surabhi manaska padha sEkharAya Nama: 
 
(Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who adorned as head jewelery the sacred
feet of those , whose minds were fragrant with the SrI Sookthis of AchArya RaamAnujA .
 
(Commentary ) : The reference is to the section in Sankalpa SooryOdhayam ,
where Swamy Desikan says in his role as Sishyan : " Yahteeswara Saraswathee
surabhithAsayAnam  sathAm , vahAmi charaNAmbhujam praNathisAlinA mouLinA ".
Here , Swamy Desikan states that he adorns the sacred feet of those fortunate ones
whose minds are fragrant with YathirAja Sri Sookthis . Reference here is to his
PoorvAchArya , KidAmbi AacchAn , who was the cook for AchArya RaamAnujA . 
 
699) (PraNavm) SankarAdhi kudhrungmoordha  nyastha  vaama
       PadhOjjvalAya nama:
 
(Meaning) : Salutations to that AchAryan , who placed his left foot on
the heads of Saankhya and Saankara Mathams . To place the left foot 
on the heads of enemies in debates is a sign of shame for the one defeated .
Swamy Desikan shouts aloud this way because of his extraordinary skills 
to defeat kudhrusti Matha Vaadhins .

Swamy Desikan at Thuppul , adiyEn is told that one can see the golden Kadakam
adorning His left foot . In Sankalpa SooryOdhayam , the Sishyan (Swamy Desikan)
defeats the opponents from Para mathams in the court of the King VivEkan .The pleased
king says : " Sishyan has won over the Vaadhis , who rattled away with hollow sounding
sabdhams like " KAdA , kAdA " and has now placed his left foot over the defeated opponent's
head . As the referee in this debate , I (VivEka MahA RaajA)  place a golden kadakam
at the the left foot of Sishyan (Swamy Desikan) , who adorned it after seeking
the permission of his Guru (AchArya RaamAnujA ) .
