Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:
Dear bhAgavatas,
An error crept in adiyEn's transliteration when
writing the meanings of sutra 149. I inadvertently used
"caraNam" instead of "sharaNam" in the sutra. This of
course is a critical error and I seek all your
forgiveness for the same.
The sutra should read "The meaning of the word "sharaNam"
is now explained. Its meaning is that it is the guaranteed
means for gaining that which is seeked and avoiding that
which is not wanted."

Mumukshuppadi
Sutra:
156. upAyam avanAgaiyAlum ivai nErE upAyamallAmaiyAlum
immUnRum vENumengiRa nirppanthamillai.
Meaning:
Because He is the means for the goal and the refuge
seeked through the mind, word and body are not truly
the means, the attachments performed by mind (mAnaSika),
word (vAcika) and body (kAyika) are not necessary.
Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
Is attachment through the mind alone sufficient? Is it
not required to seek Him through mind, word and body
("sinthaiyAlum sollAlum seykaiyAlum dEvapirAnaiyE
adaintha")?
No, it is not required. Because the Lord who is seeked
as the goal is also the means to reach Him. While the
mind, word and body might appear on the surface as being
means, they truly are not. For the goal to be reached,
the necessary assent (to His protection) is sufficient.
