    54) 2.15: - Adhikara Sangraham - Swamy Sri Desikan


    வேண்டும்பெரும்பயன் வீடென்றறிந்து வீதிவகையா
    னீண்டூங் குறிகியு நிற்கும் நிலைகளுக்கேற்குமன்பர்
    மூண்டொன்றில் மூலவினைமாற்றுதலில் முகுந்தனடி
    பூண்டன்றி மற்றோர்புகலொன்றிலையெனநின்றனரே.


    AdhikAri VibhAdhikAram: the Eighth Chapter of SRTS
    **********************************************


    The 15th Paasuram of AdhikAra Sangraham deals with AdhikAri vibhAgam of Mumukshus ( the subdivisions of those who seek MOksham based on the upAya anushtAnam chosen by them ).


    This is the 54th Desika Prabhandham .


    54) The Mumukshus choose either Bhakthi yOgam or Prapatthi yOgam for gaining Moksham based on their Sukrutha taaratamyams ( variations in their previous karmAs).


    For those who select Bhakthi yOgam as the means for mOksham, they do not need to perform prapatthi for achieving mOksham and yet they must observe prapatthi as a rite for the removal of the obstacles in the form of of karmAs that stand in their way of performing
    the upAyam for Moksham.


    The key passage of the 54th paasuram is:


    vithi vahayAl yERkum anbar onRil mooNDu
    moola vinai mARRutalil Mukundhan adi pooNDu
    anRi maRRu ohR puhal onRu ilai yena ninRanarE"


    (Due to Sukrutha tAratamyams, Mumukshus observe one of the two upAyams for removal of all the karmas that retain them in SamsAram and recognize that there is no upAyam for Moksham except performing Prapatthi at the sacred feet of the Lord).


    Here, Swamy Desikan instructs us that the ultimate goal of Moksham attained by those practicing Bhakthi or Prapatthi yOgam is identical.


    One who observes Bhakthi yOgam as the means is known as SadhvAraka Prapannan.


    He attains moksham through the fulfillment of Bhakthi yOgam with the performance of prapatthi to remove all obstacles that stood in his way of seeking mOksham.


    One who seeks Prapatthi yOgam as the UpAyam for Moksham is known as adhvAraka Prapannan.


    Both have to observe Prapatthi.
    Both have Bhakthi.


    For Bhakthi yOgam observer, prapatthi is an angam (part) of bhakthi yOgam.


    Prapatthi yOgam observer uses Prapatthi as the direct means (upAyam) for Moksham .


    Swamy Desikan says in the slOkam echoing these thoughts:


    " Sucharitha paribhAga bhidayaa dhvEdhA" ( due to their differences in karmAs, they fall in to two categories : sadhvAraka and adhvAraka prapannan).


    "yEkasya prApthi: viLambhEna (For the one who observes Bhakthi yOgam,
    MokshAnubhavam happens wiht delay); "


    Parasya aasu: prApthi: "(for the other observing Prapatthi , the MokshAnubhavam is experienced
    quickly).
