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 .
