Sutra:
21. prapaththiyilE izhinthavarkaLukku SvarUpagnyAnaththai
piRappiththuk kAlakshEbaththukkum bOgaththukkum hEthuvAy
irukkum.
Meaning:
For those who are interested in nothing but prapatti to the
Lord, the Thirumanthra will make them understand the nature
of their soul which is that it is enslaved to Him, it will
facilitate the passage of time by its meanings and utterance,
and by its own nature will be very sweet to them.
Sri PBA Swami's Sarartha Deepikai:
The yogas talked about before (karma, gnyana and bhakti) are
not easily practised. Prapatti on the other hand is easy and
for those who follow that path, the Thirumantra makes them
understand their true nature of being enslaved to none but
the Lord; it also is useful in passing their time by its
utterance as well as learning its inner meanings; it is also
by it's very nature very sweet to study and recite - as
said by Thirumangai Azhvar in the pasuram "enakkenRum thEnum
pAlum amuthumAya thirumAl nAmam, nAnum sonnEn namarumuraimin
namO nArAyaNamE". That is, it is most pleasing to experience,
just as the Lord is ("enakkuth thEnE pAlE kannalE amuthE
thirumAlirunsOlaik kOnE").
