Dear srEvaishNavites,

            LAKSHMANA, BHARATHA AND CHATHRUGNA


1. When we talk about swagatha swEkAram of bhArathA, we are talking of upAyam 
whereas we are discussing shEshathvam and pArathanthriyam in the context of 
upEyam.

2. When it comes to upEyam,  three categories of devotees are observed by 
nam-AzhwAr -nedumARkadimai -thiru-voi-mozhi.

a. sayamEa adimaith thalai ninRAr:(8-10-2) swayam prayOjanamAga ellA 
adimaigaLaiyum seiyyum avargaL;
Those who do service for the sake of it and not for any other goal.


b. . kOdhil adiyAr:(8-10-9) Blemishless devotees-ananya prayOjanamAna 
srEvaishNavargaLudaiya adimai.


c..nEkkam illA adiyAr:(8-10-10) Those devotees who cannot stand separation from 
the Lord

EDU for the tenth pAsuram: 

sayamEa adimaith thalai ninRArAgiRAr: sre bharathAzhwAnaip pOlEa;
kOdhil adiyAr AgiRAr srichathrugnAzhwAnaip pOlEA;
nEkkam illA adiyAr AgiRAr: sri iLaya perumALaip pOlEa.

Thus, all the three have been celebrated by AzhwAr in their own respects.


3. Sri piLLai lOkAchAryAr has taken sri lakshmaNA's service as a classic 
example of selfless service in srEvachana bhUshaNam.
"upAyathukku pirAttiyaiyum ,dhraupadhiyaium pOlEa..........; upEyathukku iLaya 
perumALaiyum, periya vudaiyAraiyum, piLLai thirunaRaiyUr araiyaraiyum, 
chinthayanthiyaiyum pOlEa erukka vEaNum" 80.

This has been further elaborated in the 83th sUthram of srEvachana bhUshaNam .
