Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

Sri Pillai Lokacharya's
Mumukshuppadi

Sutra:
64. "maRanthum puRanthozhaa maanthar" enkaiyAlE.

Meaning:
By the divine words of Thirumazisai Azhvar that says
Srivaishnavas are those who even if they forget His name 
will not become enslaved to another.

Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
To explain the previous sutra, the 68th pasuram from 
Nanmugan Thiruvanthaathi ("maRanthum puRanthozhaa 
maanthar") is being shown as an example here. In Sri
Vishnu Purana there is a sloka 

"SvapurushamapivIkshya paasahaStam vadati yama: 
kila tasya karNamUle
parihara madhusUdanaprapannaan
praburahamanyanruNaam na vaishNavaanaam". 

This has been translated by Thirumazhisai Azhvar as 

"thiRambElmin kaNdeer thiruvadi than naamam 
maRanthum puRanthozhaa maantharai iRainjsiyum 
saathuvaraayp pOthuminkaLenRaan namanum than
thoothuvaraik koovis sevikku".

The interesting phrase here is "thiruvadi than naamam
maRanthum puRanthozhaa maanthar". adi, adikaL, thiruvadi
all stand for Him. What is being shown in this phrase is
that it is possible that one can even forget His divine 
nama; however, one should not be enslaved to another. 
For example, a wife may not have love for her husband; 
in time, she may become affectionate with him. But, it
is not correct that she develops love for another. 
Similarly, in Sri Vishnu Purana the sage Parasara says
"madhusUdana prapannaan" and Thirumazhisai Azhvar said
the same as "maRanthum puRanthozhaa maanthar". Therefore
it is very important, even more than having bhagavat 
sEshatvam, that bhaagavatas should not have anya 
sEshatvam.
