Welcome to Adiyen Sri Ramanuja Dasan !
" Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha !"
" Unn mahaL thAnn ANANTHALO?"
is the concluding line of the fifth Paadham . "MahaL " is realted by Sri PerukkAraNai Swamy as Prapannan , who is LakshmI puthran .
Abhinava Desikan intreprets "ananthal" as matham or Gharvam or IrumAppu or Justifiable pride based on the knowledge that this Uttham adhikAri being keenly aware of his aakinchanyam (helplessness), ananya gathithvam ( having no one else for succor and recourse except the Lord) and MahA VisvAsam ( Total faith in the Lord as SaraNAgatha Rakshaka Achyuthan ).
SIXTH PAADHAM : " YEMA PERUM THUYIL MANTHIRAPPATTAALO?"
Are You under the spell of incantation of a Manthram ? Are You bound still by a Manthra PrayOgam? This Utthama adhikAri is under the spell of ashtAksharam ( SvarakshaNE svAnvaya nivruthi nyAyam according to Sri PBA Swamy). That AshtAkshara manthram has caused this adhikAri "Yema Perum thuyil" as AzhwAr stated: " peyyumA muhil pOl VaNNA ---mayyal yERRi mayakka unn mukam MAAYA MANTHIRAM THAANN KOLO?".
SEVENTH & EIGHTH PAADHAMS: "MAAMAAYAN MAADHAVAN
VAIKUNTHAN YENRENRU NAAMAM PALAVUM NAVINRU --".
PerukkAraNai Swamy has beautiful interpretations of the word chosen by ANDAL : "MAAMAAYAN". He gives three intrepretatons:
(1) Maa+aayan = the Big Gopa KumAran
(2)Maa+ aayan = that Gopa Kumaaran associated with MahA Lakshmi ( Maa sabdham of MaalOlan, Maadhavan);
He is thus Sriya: Pathi (3) maa+ aayan = maa being "not " and aayan meaning " a cowherd boy ". Our Lord is not a Aayan (not born in the cowherd clan) but is MahA VishNu incarnating as GopAlan for Dharma Samrakshanam .
" Maadhavan Vaikunthan yenrenRu naama palavum navinRu":
EmperumAn's sankalpam makes us remember Him or forget Him ( Mattha Smruthi: of Geethai). When the Sahasra- Naamams of the Lord are recited , all anishtams (inauspiciousness) are removed . AzhwAr says in this context: " pErAyiramudayeer pEr kaNDeer nunn mahaLai theerA nOy seythan". His sankalpam is behind Subham and anishtam.
Hence learning about and reciting His many Naamams (Naamam palavum naavinRu) like MaamAyan , Maadhavan , Vaikunthan and others gives one the parama sukham of immeresion in the blissful ocean of Bhagavath anubhavam in a state of "anyath kimchith karthum dhrashtum smarthum" ( not being able to do anything , see anything or think of anything).
Sri PBA Swamy suggests that the naamams of " MaamAyan , Maadhavan , Vaikunhtan--" will fit the SadhAchAryan as well since AchAryan is a MaamAYan , who performs many wonderous deeds ( alchemist who transforms Iron (us) in to Gold through His Upadesams), Maatavan or MahA Tapasvi ( tapa: SvAdhyAya Niratham tapasvi) and Vaikuntan( Vaikunta-prathan , who helps us to reach Vaikuntam through Prapatthi maargam).
